Middle majority among those who pursue STEM in college. Not everyone is or should be in STEM, after all.
This is from the Guardian, not some right wing newspaper:

"Most recently, postal workers said they were so frightened delivering in Eastwood after being mugged for their parcels that they no longer went out alone. “They are terrified because of the level of intimidation,’” said Champion. She went out on a round with two postal workers: “If I wasn’t with two post people, I would have been running away. I was really shocked how bad it was.”"

This is because of poverty, lack of schooling, a culture of mistrust of the outsider (on the Roma side too), etc. But it doesn't disappear if people close their eyes because they have some idea that all groups of people behave statistically the same.
The target doesn't have to be a sub. The sensors could detect a surface vessel, and the sub could be the way of attacking it.
I disagree. At the end of the day, they are still vanity domain names. Adding more paperwork and process doesn't change that.

For example, pitch a solution that doesn't just make squatters upload some bare bones index.html. Or check a registrar's checkbox to park the domain somewhere with content. Or, well, upload the minimum amount of substance that you think is necessary.
Software developer for a financial services company. Employee at first, went freelance for unrelated reasons.

This thread points to a few Gopher clients. I like:

http://runtimeterror.com/tools/gopher/

It's cross-platform: I use the statically linked Linux binary. Loads very quickly, like Dillo. Author commented on HN once on something unrelated and I stumbled across it on his site. Doesn't do images (yet) and I just discovered that it doesn't let me highlight text (bummer) but overall... nice client to have.

Hopefully the author (runtimeterror) continues to work on 'Little Gopher'.

This is what OP's linked gopher page looks like:

As a customer, I can't be expected to have a mental model of which Google services come with actual support, and which ones come with Google-it-yourself support.

Comparing Google products to Google products should not be comparing apples to oranges. If Google is frustrated with customers assuming they don't support their products, maybe they should support all of their products, not just a select few.
Are the balkans not part of what has traditionally been considered Europe? I seem to recall a little conflict involving ethnic cleansing back in the late 90's...

Also, I understand that Russia is considered less and less "European" with each passing year but the Ukraine and Russia (or at least all of its centers of power) are located within the European continent by definition. There's also the issue of the IRA's war against Northern Ireland and the UK as a whole, while that conflict doesn't meet the commonly agreed definition of "traditional warfare", it was the very template every modern insurgency bases itself upon. In a sense that was a war by any modern definition since traditional warfare seems to have become a relic of the past.

You can make a much wider gamut display (while still avoiding severe observer metamerism) if you have more primaries. You could even do proper multispectral imaging.

It would be awesome if display manufacturers would try to make a display with e.g. 7 primaries in hexagonal pixels.

Pretty well every image that currently shows up on smartphone screens already has to be resampled, so there shouldn’t be any inherent reason why you couldn’t have more sophisticated displays requiring slightly more signal processing to target. It would take a bunch of engineering effort, but nothing extraordinary or out of reach of current technology.

The big problem is that every other stage of the image processing pipeline from cameras and GPUs to software is built on an existing square-grid-of-RGB-pixels model.
I have a design wish for people who make things like this: “row modules”

Basically, as an example - i wouldnt be fond of the size of that spacebar, and would like other modules.

What if each horizontal row of the standard length on a qwerty were its own module, and you can snap several together to make the board you want.

Want a touchpad? Snap it to the base or side. Want a touchbar oled strip: snap it to the top. 9-key? No problem - gamer config wsad side module? Yep.

Want to just pull out the small qwerty section for some reason - just unsnap whatever you need.

Also, from a connection perspective, they should be little round rare earth magnet cylendars in dowl posts and you just mate the pieces this way.

My dad was quite into collecting wild fungi and we ate quite a lot of them and had a number of field guides around the house. My memory is that "edible" was reserved (quite sensibly) for varieties that could be eaten in quantity with no special preparation with no known ill effects. Poisonous was not the only other category, there was inedible for not known to be harmful but not considered pleasant to eat, deadly poisonous for the really scary stuff and then sometimes more details on varieties that had some reported ill effects, required special preparation, etc. some of which could be eaten safely, at least by some people, but were not listed simply as edible.
> Isn't the problem in SF that the wages have gone up hugely for a small subset of the population?

Wages of the renting population is irrelevant to the 'fair economic price1' of an apartment. The equilibrium/fair cost of a latte doesn't go up because a few millionaires move into a neighborhood, it might go up because of a barista labor-shortage, a coffee bean-tariff, or other supply-side effect.

You're not wrong that the rent prices are being driven up because there is an influx of wealth to a subset, but the core problem is that the supply is artificially constrained. If you put a quota on lattes sold in our hypothetical neighborhood, only the rich will be able to drink them - and will pay 'rich people prices' to ensure they can (or if you prefer, Starbucks will maximize its profit in the latte constrained environment. Let Starbucks serve all the lattes it wants, and prices will stay more or less constant.

1 to be specific, the fair economic price is the breakeven + opportunity cost (profit!) to build an operate an apartment building, which can be amortized to a monthly rent per unit that would be required in order to make building the apartment worth while to the builder, architect, et al. In SF, and much of the Bay Area, monthly rents far exceed this value - which if SF was a functioning market would drive the construction of more apartments driving rents down towards their fair economic price.

Actually, no, that's just an article diving into the contents of the book. I figured might be helpful in case people didn't want to read the full book.
There are a lot of people who 3D print keycaps I believe. I skipped that and bought DSA blanks from Signature Plastics.
That's a funny cartoon, and _very_ fitting to the discussion.

I'm a physicist and its true phsycist's don't always tell the whole truth when talking about quantum mechanics. I understand the different perspective between a person doing quantum computing and physicist thinking about the real world. In a quantum computer there are maybe 32 objects each with 2 states. In the real world something like an electric field has an infinite number of possibly values for each of an inifinte numbers of points in space. And then there are interactions between different objects which we can't hope to mathematcially solve but only approximate. And, on top of that, we have to relate the mathematcis to what people see around us.

So generally we have to create a straw man for a specific scenario, hence the line in the comic where phsycists don't tell the whole truth. And that's why all these people can look at the straw man example I gave and then say "No, that's not right. It's not "OR".

So, you can say a particle is in two places (AND) at the same time wihtin a given context. So that is fair. In the context of describing the connection of a field to its originating particle, that strawman is not useful. The elctric field is correclated with the position of the particle so the "OR" idea is helpful there, but if you try to take that example too far, sooner or later that strawman breaks down.

So you could look at the statement in the comic instead about wave functions. Does that provide an clarity to how a field relates to the particle from which it originates? Probably not unless you already know the answer.

Admitedly, I guess what I wrote didn't provide much clarity either. Any disucssion of quantum mechanics in a place like this usually devolves into everyone talking past each other.
Consider that there are 168 hours in a week, and even accounting for 8 hours of sleep a day that's 112, subtracting 40 for work and you get 72. Lets call it an hour commute each way, that brings it to 62.

So you actually have 62 hours of personal time every week to the 40 you spend at work. In other words, you could be getting 22 more hours of productive work done in your free time than you get done at work every week.

This suggests that it isn't really a time problem.

> The small army of women who had worked as so-called computers during the first half of the 20th century were leaving the tech industry in droves, as computing went from being perceived as a form of menial labor to a more cerebral, masculine pursuit.

Isn't this rather misleading? Obviously there were women in early computing who were very influential. But weren't the "human computers" in fact performing tedious and repetitive calculations, and not merely "perceived" as such?
Keycaps are fairly straightforward to 3d print.

If that's not DIY enough you can make a mold and cast them from silicone (the method used by most artisan keycaps) or make them out of wood.

Still too many features to make a difference - all we end up doing is shifting one distribution for another, and the net result is the same number of unsatisfied customers but just for different reasons. Neck & shoulders, length of waist vs. legs, arm length or face shape. All of the tech I've seen in this space does great work for improving conversion rate - which I take advantage of myself - but overall there has been no noticeable impact on net sales.
Ah yes, you have correctly identified the chief drivers of my political viewpoints: fear and stupidity. Very well then, it looks like our work here is done.

You are describing an outlier of an outlier. To follow your advice our developer has to have well above average skills (250k salary would be relatively senior even at FAANG), be single and live in a share house for 15 years (50k would cover rent for a family in areas with high tech salaries, nothing else) and the tech sector has to remain strong for 15 years (looking back 2004 was 4 years before the financial crisis and generally not a great time to be staring a career in a big tech company).
The secret is to go out and make friends who work in different industries that are totally unrelated to your experience.

I agree with this, but I'd add one more point. In addition to face-to-face time with these people (which can be hard to come by, either on your end or on theirs), you can try to learn about other industries by reading their books, whitepapers, journals, etc., watching their videos, documentaries, etc., and following industry trade magazines, analyst reports, and the like. This stuff you can at least do on your own time, late at night or on the weekends, whenever you have time to spare.

Given this kind of research, you can put together a tentative "value hypothesis" regarding a potential solution in some other space. Then you can maximize the value of your face-to-face time with other people by talking through a specific hypothesis, instead of just an open-ended fishing expedition.

Of course, if somebody is willing to give you a half day of their time, and you have that half day free, then go for it. But generally, people are more open to sharing their time if you can make it clear that you respect their time and that the interaction will be somewhat directed / focused.
The malls going under aren't in the places where real estate is super-scarce. High-end urban malls are actually doing quite well. To a first approximation, no one in a suburb/exurb/small city wants to live (or can afford to) live in some corporate arcology.
Perhaps you meant to reply to the same comment I did, and not mine.
Doesn't this just exacerbate the issue? It means instead of a 5/2, you're restricted to 5/1. I definitely feel that more people should take the time to rest and reflect, but I don't believe that taking 1/7 of my life and devoting it to neutrality would have a positive impact on me, my relationships or even the world!

This is the part that doesn't make sense. They basically chose one type from each vendor, before benchmarking. If there are clearly instance types at twice the cost and still lower than types from other vendors, the results were stacked. How can you see this any other way?

Many of the new TLDs do their own domain squatting. Short, pronounceable domain names are flagged as "premium", and sold at a higher price.

It's a nifty business hack actually, as unlike a 3rd party squatter, the TLD itself has no financial risk in upmarking domains.

"Honestly, one would think that 'less stress' and a more peaceable mindset give one more resilience in dealing with such things, but just the opposite."

That's one thing that stuck with me when I attended a class with a Buddhist teacher. He said meditation shouldn't make you more stress resilient but more aware of the damage stress causes so you avoid it.
Are there other routes to entry, more accessible to you and I?
That is good advice. And I would get behind Brad promoting that as a design pattern.

The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire (Documentary)
More than "for what it's worth", that's an important difference. The full quote puts a very different spin on Churchill's position.

The article:
"When some British officials objected to his proposal for “the use of gas against natives,” he found their objections “unreasonable.” In fact he argued that poison gas was more humane than outright extermination: “The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum.”"

The full quote:
"I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas.

I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes. The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum. It is not necessary to use only the most deadly gasses: gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected."

While Churchill's use of "poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes" certainly sounds abominable, he does primarily seem to be advocating for the use of non-deadly tear gas rather than something deadly. On the other hand, he also seems to be saying that he'd be OK with escalating to a more deadly gas if for some reason the non-deadly approach wasn't effective.
Think about how you could possibly design such a program to ensure use, and how you'd prevent parking site services from cropping up that would make a site just meet the requirements for continuing registration. And if it's not a purely automated process, then the base registration price would have to go way up to pay for all the human work going into validations.

And now imagine the public outcry that can happen every time people have their domains taken from them (rightly or wrongly).

No, no registry wants to be in the business of doing that. You continue to pay for the name, it's yours.

if your primary goal just is to hide SSH then you could have it on a none-standard port and enable port-knocking. Then you’re reducing your visibility to network traces.

Ultimately though, many would argue that’s just security through obscurity so you’d still want something like fail2ban or denyhosts running - namely a tool that monitors your log files for failed log in attempts (or other suspicious activity) and then auto blacklist that IP in your filewall. I’d personally recommend fail2ban over denyhosts for a variety of reasons but ultimately either is better than none.

What I also like to do is have the public SSH box a bastion server with its own unique credentials so you effectively have the same multi-tiered authentication as you would for VPN.

You can also add MFA for SSH too if you wanted. In fact there are a few PAM modules you can use; from captchya’s (to reduce bot effectiveness) to Google Authenticator.

Even enhanced SSH tools like the file server protocol (SFTP / scp / etc) and port forwarding can be enabled or disabled for specific logins / groups or everybody if you wanted.

So it’s entirely possible to harden SSH in the same way you would VPN.
