Legacy baggage also comes at the cost of performance, which in the case of mobile devices, means reduced battery life.

As an app developer, it's immensely frustrating to have to keep updating apps to stay on top of the latest SDK.

As a mobile user, I delete apps that get flagged up as battery hogs.

So that leaves me with a fairly simple choice, and I keep stuff updated if I expect anyone to keep using it, and if I abandon it, I shouldn't be surprised when my users do the same.
Sharing with allies for cost and geopolitical reasons is good for the contractors designing and building th plane.

You spread around the tax dollars spent on jobs between many different US states and counties, and voila, immunity from politicians. Kick that up to a nation scale, and you really have something good going.

Taking advantage of people’s interest in only their immediate future and their immediate surroundings, and people’s willingness to ignore long term and worldwide costs is a path to success and a downside of “democracy”.
No, I'm talking about the fact that "noon" has no cultural or practical significance if the solar day changes wildly during the year.

The _protocol_ can be arranged to help you do this, but yes just asking a challenge question inline doesn't protect against a MITM.

If Alice and Bob know a good secret (say a 128-bit AES key) then they can definitely just use that secret to protect their communications against the MITM. This only requires updating the protocol to allow such a secret to be introduced. Mallory can continue to relay messages, but they are now passive and don't learn anything beyond traffic analysis or have any ability to tamper with the messages.

But chances are Alice and Bob don't have such a secret (and of course they can't use the potentially MITM'd channel to agree one)

I _think_ if Alice and Bob know a weak human secret they can do something here with a Balanced PAKE. A PAKE lets two parties agree a key based on knowing some relatively weak secret, Mallory can try to guess but only gets one chance each time this is done and failure is detectable by Alice and/or Bob. Again this requires support in the chat protocol itself.

>Your second paragraph sounds to me like i live. But i am not "rich".

If you're not "rich" I'm not sure how you have dispensed with preparing breakfast, taking the kids to school, clothes, cooking, cleaning the house, driving to work, and so on I've described the rich as having dispensed with.

At worse, if you have achieved all of the above, you're better off than 90% of the global population, and probably have no kids, eat out whenever you want, and pay some domestic helper. So, not Bezos rich, but not common folk either...

My experience mirrors that of dagw who also replied. I have experience of accessing the internet via hospital and military systems and there is little sophistication to what they block. On the other hand, access via my university accounts seems completely unrestricted (although I'm sure it's monitored).

An example I read the other day was of a woman who had a new phone account locked down for 'adult content' as per new rules. She was complaining that it was flagging things like mumsnet as adult content.

Systemic weakness or systemic vulnerability is redefined to not include anything that the notice can require however, rendering that particular exception pointless.

> systemic vulnerability means a vulnerability that affects a whole class of technology, but does not include a vulnerability that is selectively introduced to one or more target technologies that are connected with a particular person. For this purpose, it is immaterial whether the person can be identified.

The words "systemic weakness" means something completely different to how the industry would use it.
> It is clear to me that 2020 or later there will be a more socialist America, whether the Americans like it or not. And that could be good for America.

I'm not entirely sure. We (I'm American) have an attitude of what befalls a person is because of the decisions they made. We have a very "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" and anything that costs one person money to help another is a non-starter. Look at the Affordable Care Act right now. America is an individualistic society.
I've not heard of this particular novel before, but presume it is about Hereward the Wake[1], which is indeed listed on the Wikipedia page. His story is fascinating and a couple of years ago I read a number of different books about him[2], with half an idea to write something myself. I'm really pleased someone else has written a new work about Hereward.

The disparity between the (very) rich few and the many poor would result in the share of people above and below the hypothetical "average" person not being 50/50.
Even a world where everyone can be defined by one of 75+ genders wouldn't be preferable, as the concept would lose all meaning and be just as bland in it's amorphousness. Gender is fundamentally tied to the expression and perception of biological sex, which allows it to have a meaning that goes beyond the self; genderlessness, and gender a la carte, are all about the self, not the greater society around it which depends on sexual signaling.

I have been a sort of outsider all of my life, but I don't think the extreme catering to the undefined individual is the best thing for humans as a group. If anything, it makes us more atomized, and I have yet to be convinced that individuals tend to happier when they have been maximally individualized.

People should have the freedom to not identify with gender, or want a gender neutral voice assistant, but I don't see how a genderless society is preferable.

>Waking up early and getting things done is a matter of self discipline.

Anything a person can do is a matter of self-discipline. I could not have slept for 36 days because of working 2-shifts and still "have the discipline" to go for a run. Slim chances, but it happens.

But self-discipline is much easier to muster in "easy mode", when your other duties are taken care of by an army of servants.

Talk of self-discipline without talk of environmental factors making people less tired, less stressed, and less concerned with basic life matters to focus on that discipline is moot.

And talk of self-discipline should take into account aggregates, to discover what's the baseline for most people under certain conditions, not point at some outliers that did it against all odds and say "Here, anyone can do it" (as if difficulty doesn't matter). That's like pointing out Usain Bolt and saying "here, anyone can run sub-10 secs and if you don't you just lack the discipline".

Do you think e.g. a-list actors who trivially lose amazing amounts of weight for roles have "more discipline" that the average folks who statistically fail much worse in their diets?

Or that they have personal chefs, trainers, massagers, cleaners, and so on, plus a 5-10 million dollar incentive (to get the next "action" part), siding with their "self-discipline).
Isn't the phrase intentionally self selected by these groups? Then what makes it dishonest to use it to refer to their beliefs?

> The skills required to drive a cab were never worthy of credentials beyond a driver's license and and a background check

In some cities, taxi drivers were expected to know the vast majority of the streets, such that a passenger could get in, say where they wanted to go, and the driver would know where to go and how to to get there. No looking up in maps, or using an A-Z, just go. They would be tested and certified in this too.

Ride sharing companies + navigation/route planning apps have reduced the barrier to entry tremendously, but they have also reduced the quality of the drive, as drivers no longer actually know where they're going. They have also reduced the ability for abuse, thanks to being permanently tracked.

Agreed. I do not have a very strong understanding or experience with stoicism, but I never really considered stoicism to be some kind of resignation to your fate just because you can't control it. It is to actively embrace it and remind yourself that when you have successes or failures, those things were sort of "part of the plan" and you know the best thing is to trek on. I don't necessarily even think that an "unsuccessful" person would accept themselves as an unsuccessful person, but just know that they are on a path they cannot see, but trust that what they are going through is net positive for society, the world, etc.
I'd guess you're noticing voices a lot more because of your efforts. I don't really notice at all, possibly because I'm not paying attention. I wonder if I heard the Q voice in normal usage (like on a phone system) I'd notice?

Ask HN: Is this a proper security issue
Our company uses office365 for email among other things. Wordpress for www. Part of this is to insulate our office from attack.

In O365 we use all availabile security offerings such as spam filtering and safe links. One of the features of this service is quarantining suspicious email. In this quarantine, you can review emails and delete or release them and mark sender as safe. In this quarantine, one of the tools is a “preview” where you can see the original email.
I noticed that despite lack of warnings about dangers of doing this, this preview was rendering images that are embedded in the emails. So I set up a test to send myself and email designed to get caught and quarantined with an embedded image referring an image on a server I have in the cloud. I monitored the http logs as I opened the quarantined email preview and sure enough my local IP address appeared in the http log.

We are a small firm in the financial services industry and was concerned that my local ip could be leaked this way. A determined attacker could theoretically use this avenue to find our local office ip to start attacking directly.

I reported to Microsoft and they replied that ip addresses aren’t private info and as such no action to fix would be made.

Am I just paranoid here or is this a legitimate concern?

Chile has a separate currency called UF that is inflation adjusted. The UF is used to denominate almost all loans to middle class. While they are earning generally in pesos but their debts are in UF and hence not reduced by inflation. The poorest members do not have access to loans at all.

It is a family tradition in my house to pore through the Economist every week looking for the worst visualization. So, props to them for admitting they have a problem.
The interest rates on their debt is generally higher than inflation, so they're still losing, just losing fractionally less than they were before.

Those without without debt are also losing, less than those with debt, but still losing.

No, because what changes is how far you move the yoke not necessarily how hard you have to pull (on the penultimate Lion Air flight the elevator feel system was non-op which meant that the yokes were probably extremely light for the whole flight). There will also come a point where you cannot overcome the stabilizer with the elevator.
> The problem Boeing face is that with MCAS disabled when this occurs, the plane no longer flies like an older 737.

The bigger problem is the MCAS was only added to fix a major design fault, where by the aircraft would automatically pitch up when accelerating.

So with the MCAS disabled, the aircraft then runs the risk of stalling when accelerating.

I don't understand how design engineers would ever think a software workaround would be a suitable fix for what appears to be a major aerodynamic design flaw.

This describes how to summarize a language in a computer system.

I think the storage requirements for the semantics is in particular questionable. If you can refer to a particular concept somewhere in the brain you only need a pointer to it. However, single pointers might not be sufficient

The apparatus to learn a language might also not so easily distinguished from the structure to store the language or the structure to quickly recall the language. In that case taking about storage is like talking about compressing Plato's world of concepts.

You can load one of those puppies up with 22 air to air missiles, have a forward F-35 pass along target information, and light them up from the F-15. One team. F-15 is a missile truck that can go Mach 2.2.

Most people who are rich say they aren't.

In Germany, you are in the top 10% of people with the most income by "just" making 50k€.

Just imagine, in one of the richest countries on earth, there are around 70 million people who don't make 50k€ a year.

Question is, what is the definition of rich?

Having more money than more than half the people on earth? In your country? Around you?

Having enough money that you can live of interest?
+1 for clang-format. I have been using it as a beautifier on generated code in a TypeScript to C++ compiler.

There are some other features I wish it did for me in cleaning up my generated code. For example it doesn't remove superfluous parenthesis. It doesn't remove unused labels. It doesn't remove superfluous semi-colons (a single line of just a semi-colon). And so on. (I should, of course, just be building up an AST and pretty-printing the AST instead.)

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but I really enjoy 'The Daily Stoic' by Ryan Holiday [0].

There's a page for each day of the year (so ideally you would read a page per day). Each page has a short quote from Seneca, Marcus Aurelius and others, together with an interpretation of Ryan Holiday. For me, this wa an easy way to get started with the whole topic of Stoicism and some of Senecas and Aurelius ideas.

It’s a catch 22, only the most stoic can read about stoicism. Probably explains the fervor of its practitioners, actually.
I read the Meditations in secondary school, high school, but it was the Penguin Classic edition I think. I am reading it for a fourth time, a new translation by Gregory Hays that is wonderful. I grew up poor, but went to a Jesuit high school, took Latin for two years, and I've found Stoicism appealing, because it tied in with my family's spartan lifestyle. We didn't have a phone until I was 12 or 13, and a TV until I was 8 or 10 I think. Minimal furniture, hanging clothes out the window, etc. I can see how it appeals to those say in Silicon Valley, as an alternative or contrast to their materialistic, high-tech world, a refuge. I am not discounting that it appeals to them or anyone for that matter, simply because it has a lot of truth or substance to it. I consider part of my life as stoic, and part of it along the lines of romanticism. I've considered learning Koine Greek to read it, and others, in their original language.

As a side note, my second reading was provoked by the movie "Silence of the Lambs", where Hannibal Lecter coaches Clarice to, "“First principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius." ;)
I’m surprised by the way people are choosing to respond to you. Waking up early is obviously not the point of your comment, but many replies seem to take you literally and act like merely waking up early would be some sort of refutation of the idea you’re describing.

One pathology that wealthy people (on a global scale) sometimes fall into is using their wealth and privilege to access behaviors that make them feel more like they’ve personally “worked hard” for what they have, like behavioral status symbols that are far less accessible to people without privilege.

Waking up early for purposes of pure self-maintenance, like meditation or high-end exercise, and getting to work very early, are often examples of this. It superficially feels like an accomplishment, like a justifying act of endorsing that you, as a wealthy person, are somehow exceptional and “deserving” (rather that just lucky to have money that buys the freedom to use recreational time like that) and allows you to focus on how your behavior differs from the masses to create a false sense that wealth is “earned” by “working” for it because of these photo-op-like engineered segments of “self-sacrifice.”

Less privileged folks may have to get up early just to barely make it to a shit job because of a 90 minute commute or a bunch of child care (or elder care) duties they have to perform. They may eat poorly or miss exercising because of all the obligations they cannot financially afford to offload.

I don’t see why anyone is reading a different idea into your comment.
