As I read this, I am vacationing in Hawaii for the first time. I can look out my window right now and see the island of Lanai. And that's what I'm doing as I'm read your post right now.

Reading a few sentences, looking out at Lanai. Reading a few more sentences, and looking back at Lanai...
Adam Corolla tells a story of an old Nissan pickup he had when he was younger and poorer. It was so easy to steal he wired in a hidden switch to power the fuel pump, truck was stolen a couple of times and he would just walk a couple of blocks to where it was abandoned. I believe he also painted the stereo brown to as a deterrence to thieves looking for stereos to sell.
There is a Windows driver for APFS from Paragon available. [1] Proprietary and commercial though. They also provide a free APFS to HFS+ conversion tool. HFS+ can be read from Linux though AFAIK without journaling support (essentially HFS).

Please, please, let me decide for myself what is information, and what is noise.
Technically the key should never leave the web UI (and be discarded once you close the page); but since they control the domain & what they serve, they could serve a malicious version of it that silently exfiltrates that key back to them which they can use later on even after you close the page.

There was no misinformation put out by PIA. However, I, the co founder of PIA, did in fact link to facts showing that ProtonVPN was a Lithuanian company with the director being the same director as the director of Tesonet and NordVPN.

I also did point out that the ProtonVPN android app was signed by Tesonet.

This was all done on a hacker news thread. Not reddit - and one time.

I simply wanted people to be aware of this, so I said it once, since ProtonVPN is supposed to be a privacy company.

For doing this, I have been slandered and defamed and called names by Proton since.

Rigrep crate code review (2016)
democracy is a popularity contest based on emotion. If you remove emotion you will have something else.
In Europe you had Clive Sinclair who produced the zx80, zx81 and, critically, the ZX Spectrum.

Clive wasn't focused on building the best computer, he was focused on building the cheapest. He made home computers mass market. The C64 was more than twice as expensive as the Spectrum. _Anyone_ could own a Spectrum.
The prices haven't moved relative to the pound, which has dropped sharply. If you're a US investor, and you made an investment the day before the referendum, the exchange rate alone has seen you lose 14% of your investment. 14% is a large drop.

The pound is at a historical prolonged low - except compared to the miners strike during 1984-5.

But it's interesting how the markets did not predict that remain could lose:

* On the 28th of May 2015, the EU referendum act was introduced. One pound in dollars was 1.46.

* It came into force on the 1st of Feb 2016, one pound in dollars was 1.42.

* On the 22nd of June 2016, the day before the referendum, one pound in dollars was 1.46 USD.

* By the 30th of June 2016, one pound in dollars was at 1.33, and it's stayed around the 1.30 mark for a long time.

* Right now it's only dropped to 1.28.

So I ask you:

If the markets foresaw the referendum (which the polls showed was always pretty close 51-49), why did the price of pounds not drop further before the referendum? Surely they knew there was a risk of 'leave' winning? Some people claim it was already 'priced in', however we can't see a significant drop between the legislation being announced, and the polls showing the election is close.

The conclusion I draw is that the markets aren't rational. Until the 'apocalyptic event' happens, people don't believe it will happen.

So that's why the pound didn't drop _before_ the referendum. Similarly, the pound will not drop before the UK drops out with no deal (despite it being a real possibility), because these things don't get priced-in in advance.

However, if there is no deal, we should probably see very large market movements.
I don’t get how there isn’t more demand for this, to me it’s such an obvious pain-point for personal computing these days. I guess the number of people dual booting OSes or even using external drives at all these days is so small? I feel like thumb drives are still very common though and getting large enough that it’s worth having a decent file system on them.

And it's not torturous at all, I and multiple friends have attended it. My 60 year old parents have attended it. They charge no fees, in fact you can only donate(optional and they won't even ask) if you have completed the entire course. You are free to leave at any point of time, no questions asked.

Vipassana meditation is a powerful technique though. They clearly mention on their website asking people to stay away in case they have any latent mental illnesses. Though the number of positive experiences does outnumber the negative ones ( https://www.google.com/search?q=vipassana+positive ). I've seen people cry after a meditation session because it helped them release energy inside them which they didn't know was stored.
Ahhh Raymond Chen. For anyone who hasn't read his work before, it's an absolute goldmine of interesting quirks and "why things are the way they are".

To the point of the article, I try really hard to make sure that things like this don't happen, ideally before a typo like that gets merged.
It is continual refocus. At least it is for me.

I don't focus on an imaginary object; rather, I use my breath. But Just focusing on how my breath feels going through my nose is hard. I get distracted by all sorts of things; the next door neighbors fighting again, the assignments I didn't work on yesterday, the friend I just started talking to again.

So, I refocus on my breathing again.
They may be inherently more efficient, all else being equal, but ... all else is not equal. Automatics now get better fuel efficiency than manuals, so expect the trend of automatics taking over to continue.
> we survived WW1 and 2 so we'll survive a trade hiccup.

I don't understand this reasoning. We didn't all survive WW1 and 2. If you mean the union survived - the Republic of Ireland left the union shortly after WW1. And if Brexit isn't _as bad_ as the Blitz, surely that could still mean it's pretty awful.

No, it doesn't. China steals everything worth stealing from anyone that has it.
I mean, sure, the precision matters for HFT but at the scale the point would be moot since the time is so minuscule. Unless you hyperscale it: “on 1,000,000 trades the 50ms difference becomes very pronounced and could cost us $z” or something of the sort. But I still think it loses “the spirit” of the method — best way I can phrase that.
IP theft is an important part of the Chinese "Miracle" but it is short-sighted to focus too much on that...If IP access is all it took, I think we would have seen the Chinese achievement replicated in many other places.
The problem with Ext?, NTFS, and ExFAT is that you always need a driver on one of the 'big 3'.

FAT32 "seamless support"? It doesn't even have journaling. The other day I wanted to copy a 8 GB file. Forget FAT32. Just use Ext4. It isn't patent encumbered, and there are drivers available for all of the big 3. You can boot a live CD/DVD/USB to mount the data in no time. This is easier than installing any driver, and you won't have to uninstall or maintain it afterwards.
Can confirm from personal experience. Even a lot of vipassana meditation by itself can send you into psychotic states when you're not ready for all the insight yet. I came very close to psychosis once, experienced ego death, broke down mentally and had to spend 2 months in a depression ward. Cannot recommend.

I completely agree, having found myself in a similar same situation. +1 to Joe Rogan and Dave Rubin; I'd also recommend the Hoover Institution's YouTube channel.

Having watched a bunch of these videos, I actually feel more confident in my disagreement with certain political figures - for example, John Bolton - having heard them out and better understood their position. Of course, I'm also more sympathetic to some people and positions that I didn't fully understand before.

If PowerShell and cmd logging is turned on (and I'm sure it is) then seeing net * commands run from a marketing machine is hella bad. Its similar to "HEY LOOK AT ME IM HACKED!"

These logging things do get in the way of devs. They run PowerShell after ps... Its not uncommon for MB's a day of log per dev. So if you're wanting to run crap and get away with it, hack a dev machine and bury your commands in there.

As has already been said JavaScript, Flash and such are the biggest risk. Browser vendors have tried to mitigate the attacks, but last I heard, only Mozilla's mitigation was actually effective at preventing attacks.

I'd also personally not feel comfortable using a Windows PC, given that running unchecked 3rd-party code is sort of required to do anything with it.
Words "Russian", and "bots" are absolutely irrelevant for the discussion. "Lies" is relevant, but who is the authority to decide what belongs to the category? The whole Free Speech thing is invented exactly because history of humanity many times proved that mandatory filtering of information inevitably leads to abuse, and to lies which you want to counter.
Why is everything a Russian bot? That conspiracy needs to end. The American media lies to you constantly (Manufacturing Consent, Chomsky), politicians lie to you constantly, advertising lies to you constantly. This isn't one big Russian scheme, it's simply capital.

Was this Russia?

In combination with the fact that the Android App was signed by Tesonet, are you telling me that ME or OTHERS shouldn’t be concerned? Do you realize I was a protonmail user until I saw that shit?

Also, I haven’t seen any verification that anything is false - Tesonets one website CONTINUES to say they conduct said activities.

Finally, the allegations were made by Google Play and the Lithuanian Government.

Stop blaming me for bad decisions you regret to this day. That being said, I would appreciate if you leave my name and PIAs name out. I’m happy to get on an encrypted phone call with you - like on jitsi - to talk things out.

You have my contact since you sent me a cease and desist letter. This is not a VPN/pro internet thing to do by the way.

I don’t dislike you - so stop thinking this is anything else other than me seeing some really scary stuff and pointing it out.

If you saw that PIA’s app was signed by Tesonet wouldn’t you be like wtf?
Recently, I’ve been running into more words that only seem to exist in a single language. Words like kaizen, ikigai, and karoshi in Japanese…or, lagom and fika in Swedish, which are not directly translatable to other languages.

As I have learned more about these “untranslatable” words, I’ve found that they often give a glimpse into that particular culture which I think is pretty cool. I wanted a way to discover more of these words, and even compare them across cultures.

So today, I built this searchable web app of words that don't translate (as part of the 24h startup challenge).
Not OP but I had a panic attack one day (first ever) and that spiraled into 6 months of general and often debilitating anxiety.

Talk therapy and meditation (suggested by my therapist) helped reset me to my pre-attack normal.

Very optimistic piece about the Chinese economy from a Chinese American who now resides in China. The author works for Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, whose company Amazon greatly benefits from China.

There is no doubt this is a piece that is trying to rally around a very unlikely scenario where the US administration will give into Chinese belligerence and back off on trade tariffs at the end of November when Trump and Xi meets - despite Trump, Pence, the current Trump administration, and even prominent Democrats' hardline against China. A trade war which the US is winning strongly.

A couple of things stands out from the article: reminiscience about the great Chinese growth in the last 30 years, and "The party appears to enjoy broad public support, and many around the world are convinced that Mr. Trump’s America is in retreat while China’s moment is just beginning." That last thing is the conclusion drawn out of nowhere, and very incorrect. US has been growing 4% this year, while every other major economies around the world has suffered. https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/14/economy/economy-global-slowdo...

The author cleverly avoids talking about China's now: slumping economy, the ever increasing local government/corporate/personal debt, export falling 30% year-over-year in Guangdong, the top exporting province https://sinoinsider.com/2018/10/risk-watch-declining-export-..., potential tariff on all of China's import into US, the great military alliance between US, Japan, Australia, India and several other Southeast Asian countries against China in South Asia Sea, western ambassadors demanding answers to China's imprisonment of Muslim minority https://www.businessinsider.com/china-slams-western-ambassad..., and last, how private companies which drove the innovations in china are dying out to state enterprises https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-24/china-s-s....

EDIT: clarified author
This thread touched off an idea for a journalism piece that I think could work in something like The Atlantic.

I bounced it off of my new writing partner[0] and she's interested in collaborating on it. If you're in software and you know a blind person that's working on something difficult, high impact, or otherwise noteworthy please reach out to me. It would be great to chat with them. The more that society appreciates the blind and understands their day-to-day the better it will be accommodated.

[0] She's the former Sr Editor of The Walrus (essentially Canada's The New Yorker), so she's quite good.
I didn't really understand meditation other than thinking of it as some mystical thing or just relaxing until I read a simple description in I believe Waking Up by Sam Harris. In the past I always heard meditation as clearing your mind, and maybe for some that is possible, but in reality what is most common is focus on something repeating in your senses to stop thinking about other things. The most common one seems to be breath. Close your eyes, breath in slowly through your nose and feel the breath coming in... the tingle in your nose as they air comes in and "look" at that feeling, breath out and focus on the feeling of the air going out, repeat... focus your mind and really eyes on the feeling of each breath. By focusing on this feeling you are filling your mind with this thought and not leaving room for others. Another situation I have had success with was walking. Each step you take is a little different. If you are on a rocky/gravel trail this is even better. Focus of the feeling of your steps and each pressure point coming through your shoes and any other sensations for each step, visualize where on your foot each sensation is occurring. It is very relaxing.

Oh come on. Chinese are known for stealing IP from everyone including other Chinese. They consider this an achievment.

They would have stolen the tech from anyone else, Japanese or not.

I think that's a fair assessment. Perhaps no-one wants to be the first to move.
Isn't that because of the new generation of CVT and DSG automatics?
Doesn't that lead to a lot of error handling code?

Another nice feature of the Erlang model is that, often, you can code the happy path and forget the error checking. Makes for much tighter/cleaner/easier-to-read code.

They mostly try to protect hardware implementation details. Another example was how hard it is to get data needed for writing good drivers, another firmware. Even that most companies don't want to share for fear it leaks some aspect of the design. Finally, for Intel ME backdooring all CPU's, there's a decent chance they're paid a fortune by one partner in particular to keep it there with buggy, obfuscated code. That's on top of ordinary reasons.

> it doesn't reduce the global rate of car theft, so you are merely shifting the burden to other car owners.

Article's anecdote aside, there'd be no reason to believe it wouldn't also reduce global theft rate. Theft requires opportunity, and if the club means that global opportunity goes down, the global theft rate would follow. e.g. at the very least there might be some occasions where the car with the Club is the only car available to steal at the time.
And how would you assess the skills of a technical founder when you're not technical yourself? IMAO luck is the factor here.

I took it to mean that it’s more akin to organized religion than it is to the isolated idea of meditation and its benefits. I could be wrong.
I find the real benefits of meditation are evident when it is done consistently. Sadly, it is easy to stay consistent with checking phone several times a day than meditating few minutes a day. Any tips on how to make it a habit?
In Yoga, it's called 'Drishti' -- a point of focus (typically something a good distance in front of you) while you move during poses, which helps to develop a deep meditative state.

The 'imaginary object' is something you imagine in front of your eyes whilst meditating. It can be anything, a candle or a colorful ball. The goal is to maintain full focus, which in return, develops a strong ability to concentrate.

It sounds easy on paper, but in practice is one of the hardest meditation techniques. The mind loves to wander and get lost in tiny little trains of thought. With practice, you can see how thoughts arise, but also how your eyes wander everywhere but on your chosen object.
Here's another anecdote about using freelancers for this: When I wanted a logo for studyswami.com, I went to fiverr (or something similar) and asked several different designers for a logo. With all of these logos in hand, I brought them to a group of people who shared what they liked and didn't like about each one.

After a bit I had a decent idea, and hired an expensive designer and gave her a clear idea of what I wanted. She then did a brilliant job, producing three or four outstanding logos. I think the logo I chose is one of the best out there anywhere.

The problem with the expensive designers is that they are hampered by the limitations of creative brainstorming as much as anybody, yet is a big part of your cost. They usually give you a limited number of designs- like 3 or 4- to choose from, and you're 'stuck' in that circle of thinking.

So if you can clarify what you want for cheap you'll better use the talent of the experts, IMHO.
This is starting to sound more fiddly than is reasonable for inside security on a corporate office. The real failure here is just that someone left the door propped open. That's easily addressable, and as it turned out, they caught the attacker anyway.
i would like to see a source on this. i often see DCT or CVT versions of a car that are more efficient, but afaik, traditional fluid coupling automatics still have a hard time beating a manual transmission in the same car.
