Is security not an illusion with the current computer architectures? Sometimes it feels like we have to go back to architectures that separate code from data (Harvard) to really be secure.

The problem is that he engaged in pretty blatant stock manipulation before (Funding secured!) which did change the stock price and part of his settlement was getting his tweets cleared.

He flagrantly violated that condition of his settlement. That's what makes it a big deal.
Good.

He's someone that actually accomplishes and builds things, let him express himself.

All these journos are just spectators by comparison with no real accomplishments.

But there are people though who love when you give them that problem. There are businesses out there that specialize in keeping those servers running. Do you all of a sudden have loads of traffic? Wow, you must really be popular.

If you are not popular, some will host your servers for free until you are.

You know. Because there is money in traffic. So if you generate it, they'll sell it. On the market.
I’m not saying they know better. I’m saying that what Uber and Lyft are doing is extracting a margin at the cost of drivers and taxpayers without having built any real competitive moat. Cities could do the same thing, leverage their control over airports, streets, and other public infrastructure to build a distinct advantage over Uber and Lyft, and reinvest the earnings from this capital light business model back into the capital intensive but ultimately better for society public transit system.

Also - why instantly criticize government for “knowing better”? Any entrepreneur starting a business in an existing space is doing the same thing, and they’d likely be celebrated.
A lot can happen before age 65, and cancer doesn't wait!
Yeah, kudos on you for thinking this through.

I really like Private VLANs over vanilla separate LANs(Physical or via VLAN) because it prevents each client from talking to each other even when they're on the same LAN. From the IoT device's perspective all they can reach is your gateway(192.168.1.1 or whatever) and no other device. So their ability to pivot/snoop on other devices in the network is curtailed.

Sadly it requires hardware support to do right since it's essentially disabling all the switching that exists at the ARP/Switching layer and forcing the device to route through the gateway.

On the UniFi gear this is literally just a checkbox when you're setting up the LAN(guest network vs LAN/corp network) and they handle the rest.
I like this pedagogical structure. Why do you think so many people recommend Linear Algebra Done Right as a first exposure to the subject?
No we wouldn't.

Microsoft was legally prevented from doing that, remember?

Why Google has been allowed to get away with it I have no idea.
There are many avenues to exploitability, which makes most of this about surface area, and what types of threats you need to protect from.

Just a few potential weaknesses off hand:
- Devices that have internal web servers, can be exploited through loading a bad web page, that makes requests forgeries to the device
- Many smart home products use non wifi wireless (or even wifi) that when in range of your home network can be exploited.
- The non wifi network can leak information. For example if you're detected as home or not. If I want to break into your home, it's much safer to know if someone is home.
- While devices with automatic updates are badly needed, if the mechanism to provide updates can be spoofed, it can pull in a bad image (this require compounded exploits of course). Also think about a company hat goes out of business, and someone buy's up the update domains??
- If you invite a guest to your network, or a device that has been compromised before purchase (think store employee's), that can be a window into exploiting additional devices.
- Some devices may use dynamic port forwarding (sorry can't remember the protocol name off hand), that may create dynamic forwarding rules in the model if the modem feature is enabled. I'm not saying this is common, but I could see people mistakenly believe that the device is protected behind a firewall when it isn't.

Anyways, I think my message is, while allowing inbound connections to a smart home device significantly increases the risk, there are still many risks that exist even within your own network, that depending on the vulnerability does leave certain risks.

According to the article, I don't think it's India who is portrayed to be the rogue state -- it's Pakistan.

>> Among the most audacious were the 2001 attacks on India’s parliament and the 2008 siege of Mumbai, which killed over 150 people. Had such an attack occurred in the United States, Narang said, America would have ended a nation-state.

The reason why India didn’t respond to force, according to Narang, is that—despite its alleged Cold Start doctrine—Indian leaders were unsure exactly where Pakistan’s nuclear threshold stood. That is, even if Indian leaders believed they were launching a limited attack, they couldn’t be sure that Pakistani leaders wouldn’t view it as expansive enough to justify using nuclear weapons. This is no accident: as Khan said, Pakistani leaders intentionally leave their nuclear threshold ambiguous.
There's nothing stopping the government and individual hospitals from boosting funding for residency spots. The AMA isn't doing anything to prevent it.
It's kind of an obvious implication to there being more CO2 in the atmosphere. Plants like it. If it gets warmer at higher latitudes, there will also be more plants able to grow there.

There was a 200 page report on global warming from the 1980s on HN a few days ago which had several sections on this as upsides to global warming. I only read 50 pages of it, but it is a remarkably clear and level headed document.

That's the weak link they knew about. It is very unlikely to be the actual weak link.
Workout after IF isn't an issue for me anymore. But I definitely felt some nausea when I first started while doing some of heavier lifts like squats and deadlifts. I think it's just about giving your body time to adapt.
Agreed. Aside from some vague intimations that Google is using Chrome as a business tool, it really didn't present much of an argument to switch to something else.

Furthermore I'd argue that if the author hasn't used Chrome since 2014, he's not well positioned to comment on its usability today.
>"with completely different conventions on where everything is"

...what?
Personally I'd rather see the people in charge of transit tell him to fuck off with his stupid tunnels, unless he comes up with a proposal actually worth listening to.
I don't think most average web users do a comparison of browsers. They pick one (or get told to use one) and stick with it because for their use cases, there isn't much differences between the browser anyway.
> I call BS. To me this is just weak management. It's actually not that difficult to fire someone. If you're in doubt, put an explicit probation period in the contract. I think being able to effectively fire is management 101 but looks like it's becoming a lost art. I'm not sure if this is because people are afraid of confrontation or they're just cargo culting the story they've heard about bad hires.

It has little to do with confrontation, and a hell of a lot to do with potential legal issues. Maybe this fear is unfounded, but I doubt it.

If you are a small company, you might get away with it on pure luck. If you are a big company, you can average out the cost of "bad firings" with the rest, and see how expensive it is. I'm guessing it's a lot.
Debugging into Unity's Internals
> Further, it is absolutely not up to par on Linux

I am sitting on Arch here, Firefox Wayland and it's absolutely up to par, in fact Chromium seems less responsive these days. Granted, I have a very tuned, minimalist install, maybe on the likes of Ubuntu it's a different story.
> bake your own bread!

It really is incredibly easy to bake your own bread, and everything about it, from the smell, to the texture, to the taste, is just wonderful! I think a common reason people don't is because of the time commitment, but the secret is to break it up into several days, and keep the dough in the fridge/freezer. The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day really changed my perspective on bread baking, and now we always have fresh bread. Even if I'm not eating it (probable gluten sensitivity and mainly low-carb adherent) I enjoy making it for my wife as much as she enjoys eating it!
Firefox still feels non-native on OS X as a result of its reliance on XUL. My main issues are around UI. The menu bar only fully populates once the browser is almost loaded, not when the browser is first opened. The other thing is that UI elements exist in an uncanny valley, where they are not quite native, but not quite foreign.

Camino meant to fix that, but it has moved onto greener pastures.
I agree, they would definitely have to find a new progression system.

They could make it a "Team Rocket" based game. Instead of focusing on Gyms, you're trying to stop Team Rocket from liquifying the environment for example.

I like Gyms, and I don't think "on-rails" Pokemon games should go away (there's obviously a large market for them). I just want a game where I can go explore and be surprised/find hard to locate Pokemon.

Just feel like the whole theme of Pokemon just naturally flows into that style of game.
I wonder if people also get better at math if they don't notice it's math.
Urgent care doesn't exist in some jurisdictions.
Beyond even that, Firefox was already stripping market share away from IE at the time. Around 2010 or so it was really a 3-way split, which was really nice in terms of getting a lot of things worked out between the three (relatively speaking). A lot of people would have migrated away from IE, it just would have been more Firefox, less Chrome.

And we can postpone updates forever on macOS, or disable them completely.
It is, although replacing forests with pastures should not be indicative of CO2 sequestration, but the opposite.

In Brazil there's a biome called cerrado[0], characterized by low trees and shrubs, from the sky might seem brown but there's a lot of biodiversity and flora. Replacing it with soy fields should not be a net gain in my book.

Well glass tastes better, so sure.

But the benefits are not obvious. If we assume diesel as a substitute good for plastic [1] then the additional weight of transporting glass could cause more waste (by burning additional diesel)

So, if a commmunity doesn’t have a local wash and refill center, it’s not obvious that plastic wins.

[1] you can make diesel from plastic (not easy, but probably easier than recycling mixed plastic). Assuming the plastic will go to the oceans otherwise, that’s a pretty good thing to do since diesel will get burned anyway and plastic is diverted from the seas.
This is true. Fage needs 4 liters of milk to make 1 kg of yogurt. This is pretty much standard for all Greek type yogurts, at least the ones sold here.
That’s true. I didn’t consider that. I’d be interested love to see a solution to it though. Maybe there’s some sort of OS-level solution, like how you can set the priority of processes.
Probably because many people loved BOTW and it was wildly successful, both critically and financially. So there's clearly a market for that style of game among Switch users.
Is there perhaps a better way to use resources to fight the obesity epidemic, and massively impact "health outcomes", than a ~$40 trillion complete overhaul of the medical system and hoping that the epidemic is solved by proxy?

I think a distinction to be made here is the difference between being "nice" and being "kind". The former is someone who would bend over backwards and not enforce or consider their own boundaries. The latter is someone who has the same intention but is mindful of what their own personal values are and having self-respect.

It's tough because they both have the same intention, but the execution of it is different. I feel somewhat shameful of not learning the distinction until very recently, but am still grateful for learning it at all.
> He was a president who ruled by executive order.

Do you hold this opinion due to the nature of his orders? His rate of orders issued doesn't make this look plausible, on its own. Lowest per-year average since well before WWI, by the look of things.
Great concept to reduce the losses in transmitting and converting energy, and reducing the weight, complexity, and cost of the wind system. But there are issues.

1) It takes a rather large system and stiff breeze, "a rotor diameter of 5 meters and a height of 9 meters – produced 3.5 kilowatt of heat at a wind speed of 11 m/s", ~25mph wind, to produce a modest heating output. that is the equivalent of two small 1750 watt heaters, which would barely heat a decent size room in cold weather.

2) The system is completely dedicated to heat production, and will be a waste of space over half the year. In the summer, most of the wind will be of essentially no use except for warm tap water. In contrast, you can use electrical generation any time.

The best system I've seen of this was at a remote boarding school in Florida. On the roof, they had black serpentine pipes in flat black boxes with glass lids, so mini-greenhouses. In the utility area, they had large insulated water storage tanks. They could get the water to 180F, and had to warn people to be careful when using the tap or taking showers. Pretty impressive, and this was decades ago.
Why stop at 30GB? IIRC with gif encoding you can just keep sending frames forever, something like https://github.com/jbochi/gifstreaming
Honestly, I hate the term "bloat". Most of the times when I've seen bloat blamed, the real cause has been a bad algorithm somewhere. Just as was the case with Chrome, its often the case that using more RAM (and maybe more "bloat") can make things faster.
There was a time my business relied on a Windows-only browser app for several banking operations. The thing I liked most about the VM is that it was immutable - the moment I rebooted, it went back to its previous state.

For updates, I made it mutable, applied only the updates and made it immutable again.
Are you using mostly Google pages or services? That might explain why Firefox runs worse.

Anecdotally, of the three browsers I have on my dev machine Chrome is the biggest resource hog.
I think the point is handling peak loads and knowing you can get all your users (whatever that number might be) back online quickly. To quote the article "what happens if Call of Duty goes offline for maintenance and then six million users try to log back in at the same time"?
I'm really disappointed that they're re-introducing the random encounters system. Let's Go was such a breath of fresh air with being able to see them walking about. I would often find myself hurrying off somewhere but stopping because I saw a pokemon running about that I hadn't caught yet.
Same here on Arch Linux for me.
Based on the video here [1] and some of the links on that page, plus assorted diagrams of other bulk acoustic wave resonators, I don't think there will be any problem.

Helium can interfere with devices that either depend having a vacuum in a volume or depend on having that volume contain a gas mixture with specific properties. Helium getting in messes that up.

The BAW on-die-oscillators do not appear to have any places that are supposed to be vacuum or supposed to contain gas. The have two piezoelectric thin films, with acoustic reflectors behind them. The gap between them appears to be solidly filled. All the relevant acoustic waves are carried in that solid stuff, not in air. (This also means, I think, that these things should be OK in vacuum).

Why? I don't see any indication of that in the trailer. I just hope that it is a classical turn based pokémon game like I loved to play.
You describe the situation today accurately. The grand challenge is changing the energetics curve through biotechnology. That preselection of materials is the mindset I was referring to, so exactly the opposite is true; to make a meaningful advance you need to start with materials which are difficult and energy-cost-inneficient today and shift the work from exogenous sources to self, or nearly-self sustaining processes.
By "not technically possible," I meant specifically that no government can cause new BTC to manifest into existence. The scenario you're describing is (government mandated and legally enforced) loss insurance, which is the system I observed hasn't (to my knowledge) organically manifested yet.
Sure, but I'm interested in getting a good Pokémon game. I don't care what the market wants. Of course, the market will win, that's how all franchises get ruined.
For another great source of open source textbooks I highly recommend OpenStax (https://openstax.org/). I am currently re-learning calculus and their Calculus text is great.

Isn't there also a maximum lifetime benefit most US insurances stipulate, that isn't that hard to reach (like $1M or so ?)

My understanding is that past that point, you become mostly uninsurable, but maybe I'm wrong.
For me it was a nice UX that kept me on chrome... the performance was really nice too. There was some chrome in IE extension iirc that I pushed for around 2010, as one of our SPA applications tended to really bloat in IE7-8, and worked fine in chrome and ff. (Note this was an actual application, not a website)

Modern x86's have instruction set extensions to make VMs almost free of any overhead. The only performance hit you have is for the memory you don't allocate to the VM.
As an MBP user, it's kind of funny the most dangerous thing I can do with my crazy expensive computer is use 100% of its resources in a sandbox.
It's bizarre to see the number of comments on this thread adamantly insisting that Chrome became and stayed popular because of an ad campaign. I was a high school student when Chrome was released. I saw an ad for it, downloaded it, and found that it was much faster and much cleaner-looking that Firefox, so I stayed with it.
For the record, mlockall on Linux can lock all future allocations, including those made by shared libraries. You don’t need to manage a memory pool yourself.

This article goes in an unexpected direction after a few paragraphs.
Look at photos of shops from the late 19th century, even big ones.

Tea came in chests, sugar and potatoes in sacks, there'd be large jars for the shop owner to measure out from. Most things went to the shop in bulk.

Only a few were pre-packed right from the start, like bars of soap and bottles for instance. Those bottles would almost certainly have a deposit scheme. Most of the individual packaging, and variance of packaging, came with supermarkets.
Profiles are the only thing stopping me moving to Firefox right now. They're so easy to use on Chrome.

There are many different grades of mowers. A cheap residential mower is cheap and lasts just long enough that you don't think it was junk when you have to replace it. A commercial mower is used more in a month than most people mow in a lifetime and is built to higher quality (and price).

The neighborhood mower would cost 10x as much last just as long and serve the needs of 20 people - so a better deal in the long run. However what price are you willing to pay to not have to use the mower on your neighborhood's schedule - owning your own is probably worth it for you.
As a someone that used etcd during v1 times (CoreOS + Fleet) I can only agree. I am not that familiar with etcd3 but v1 and v2 were horrible: difficult to tune and find a working set of "timeout" parameters, picky to CPU availability, developers giving zero f*cks to bugs/docs, crappy documentation, and good luck if you lose quorum.
I think you are trying to make some point about wasting resource...but the ER is how accute injuries like this are generally treated. Sure there may be urgent care centers equipped for this, but that isn’t a guarantee and those often have more restrictive hours than an ER, especially acces to urgent care services like x-rays or mri/cat scans.

Sure in hindsight it’s a sprained thumb, but likely because of pain thought to be broken or worse...requiring x-ray and being set by a trained professional or maybe even surgery. It is a thumb so it would be less than ideal to lose feeling or mobility or the thumb itself (say there was nerve or circulatory damage).
The SEC may disagree
Oh right, that's why I switched to Chrome. At the time Firefox had that horrid memory leak that would consume gigs of RAM if you left a tab open long enough.
Good point. Skimmed that. But how often does that really happen? Don't sites and apps just handle that? Isn't that an IT job?
Because it would go bankrupt and then no one would get Medicare.
