There’s literally no distinction.
Many countries do this, because in those countries, the government actually represents the interests of people. If there was ever a clear case of the US government putting the needs of businesses before the needs of the people, it's this: keep taxes as complex as possible in order to create business opportunities to sell products to make it easier again. It's a complete bullshit business that shouldn't be necessary at all. It exists only by the grace of an incomprehensible tax code.
And Ford's wage increase has been famously and misleadingly mythologized as a favor he did to his employees so they could afford to buy his cars. Matthew Crawford's takedown of this bullshit in Shop Class as Soulcraft is delicious.
Palo Alto firewalls do decryption on the fly should you want to look at this. It can all be logged with short or long logging.

Worked in your arena for 5 years. Kids are creative and crafty. We had kids getting around the MDM/DNS blocks by changing the DNS/Proxy settings in their iPads. This is not easily overcome with existing MDM solutions AND letting the iPad be usable. BYoD is a whole different animal since you cannot legally "touch" their devices, you have to implement the federally-mandated blocks at the infrastructure level. Kids can use VPNs all day and there is nothing that can be done in reality.

At a previous job, believe it or not, I worked with a client with almost a zero budget who was having massive issues with malware/ads in their public space that offered free computer use. Being the budget was minimal (less and $100 to fix), I deployed two Pi-holes and taught the "admin" how to manage it. Cheap, effective, works. I set the whole thing up to fail back to the network's DNS should the Pi-holes fail. Still running almost two years later.

The Pi-hole can block about any content you would like it to block with almost zero-configuration. Easy to block a single domain or with a new rule set subscription.
>> Also I'd be interested to read how they got around scintallation of the Interstellar Medium.

One of the reasons they've imaged M87* rather than a black hole in our own galaxy was to avoid dealing with ISM scattering - we don't have to look through our edge-on disk, so it's easier to image another galaxy's center somehow. But the Sgr A* image might be in the works already, it was mentioned in both the press-conference and one of the paper's future work section.
This would probably require new equipment (or just an update) but at that point, you could use an SNI whitelist, then drop port 443 traffic that isn't TLS. You could even drop the request when SNI is not present, in the case of encrypted SNI (if the network box has this feature).
It doesn't look anything like Gargantua in Interstellar, but it's not really supposed to, except for the most prominent features. Interstellar showed what a black hole might look like in visible light while in orbit around it. This is a radio telescope image from a far away galaxy.
For a Model 3 even with readily available charging that still means ~1 hour waiting on a supercharger per charge, and you've gotta do that 2-3x to get from, say, Amsterdam to Kitzbuhel for a skiing road trip. Figure 15 Euro minimum to use the charger during that time? (I'm using range numbers and charging costs available on the web to run this calculation)

I know it's _possible_ to get somewhere without range anxiety but 20% added time plus 30-45 Euro for the privilege to do that is a serious downside.

If you only do this a couple times a year and the rest of your driving is local then this makes sense, but I don't know that for regular long-range drivers this argument works.

Monarch, like Borg, is configured by RPC. You can use python if that suits you but you can also use C++ or Java or Go or any language capable of putting an encoded protobuf on the wire. This is a mistake people also make about Borg: there is borgcfg but borgcfg is not Borg's API. You can use the Borg RPC interface from any language and borgcfg is optional.

Compare to borgmon where use of the DSL is obligatory.

>It's fair enough to say that American auto unions (and very importantly, auto company management and ownership) would do well to model themselves after Germany's system.

You could say that about many different things: if we just did it like the Germans, everything would be better, right? But how exactly do you actually do that? We're not Germany. You could go to Zimbabwe or El Salvador and tell them the same thing ("just be like the Germans or Japanese and you won't have all these social problems!"), but that isn't realistic; if it was that easy, every country would be copying the Germans and Japanese.

As for a universal truth, I haven't seen any evidence yet that unions in America actually work well. In Germany, yes, but this isn't Germany.
I have a Model 3 and have gone on multiple long-distance road trips (>1,000 mile) with it. It's an absolute pleasure to drive with AutoPilot. Plus, most people already stop every 3-4 hours for bathroom/food breaks anyway, so if you use the in-car nav system (Google Maps), it will make it so those stops are at superchargers. The supercharger stops are almost always in high-density places with plenty of restaurants and usually are ~30minutes which I've found is the perfect time to do all the bathroom/food purchases you would need for the next leg of the trip. Plus with Supercharger V3 rolling out in the next few months, those stops will shrink to just 15 minutes for 80% battery.

Hope they manage to fix their operations. Udacity is hands down the best MOOC. Their courses are professionally produced, with great visualizations, animations, and superb projects. I've already completed courses in Udemy, Coursera, PluralSight, and edX. Udacity is a level above everybody else.
For comparison, 186 Audi e-tron are listed there: https://www.autoscout24.de/lst/audi/e-tron?sort=standard&des... - with total sales in Germany being 571 in March.

That's very interesting, thank you.

I have the cat5e throughout the house but in a ring topology as it was wired for phones only. RIght now I just have two points connected end to end. Next step is to think of a clever way to use the 2 unused pairs to support another 100BaseT and create a fake hub and spoke topology. This G.hn standard might be a good way to get even more performance out of this setup.

And Cloudflare already does expose DoH on all addresses, as long as SNI/Host header is one of the vhost hostnames. You can currently make DoH requests to cloudflare-dns.com , the "mozilla" subdomain, one.one.one.one, 1.1.1.1, and 1.0.0.1 (there may be others that i'm not aware of ).

Quanergy's CEO: We Still Will Rule Lidar
I think the medium, data collection, and scale matter. It's never been so affective or efficient as it is now (and will become).

Gathering data from a million people on which shade of red makes them more likely to click a button is entirely different today due to the scale, how cheap it is to setup, and how cheap it is to tweak. This data can then be used to "nudge" people towards a direction that you benefit from (and they may or may not benefit from, and society at large may or may not benefit from). At scale, these very small nudges can have an impact. The unregulated methods we use for this keep improving (AI).

Not to throw shade, but there's a reason why Amazon has been hiring behavioural psychologists. We should be aware and thinking about this.

If you only have $1000 and your rent alone is $1450, then obviously you are in a very bad spot.

Try to save more money, because it's very difficult to change jobs if you can't even cover 3-6 months of expenses from your savings. Consider moving to cheaper apartment. If your wife is able to work, even part time, you should ask her to.

Keep doing the minimum required work to get you through your day job and spend all the time looking for new job. Go to tech conferences to try to network with other tech people in your area.

Try rewriting your CV. Do not offer to work for half your rate! That is very desperate and from the point of game theory will make you even less likely to find a job. Ask for at least your current salary or little bit more during interviews.
It's life, read things, make up your opinions and implement the details yourself.

To add to this issue from a personal level: for those who use a Pihole or operate other internal services from within their own home network will now have to change the settings for _every application_ using DoH on that network.

This could become a major hassle if the number of devices and owners become large. There's not even a work around for this because I do not directly manage family members' devices (nor would they want me to).

I really like Firefox for they are the only real option these days. I use it and I encourage all those around me to use it. This change will require me to do a lot more manual work and likely lead to confusion over whether a service is down or not.
The fact that I don't have to exert ANY energy to decide on where to go for lunch vs. working downtown and having to decide between the same 5 places or spending 20 minutes pulling out and back into parking garages is very nice, and I'm nowhere near a recent college grad. Dinners also nice for those of us without anyone to go home to eat with.

I absolutely hate the "Whats for lunch today?" shuffle.
Not only that but APs usually have more antennas, which makes a huge difference. The antennas can also be spaced out more (for better diversity) and be physically larger (typically you get more gain the closer your antenna length is to the wavelength of the signal).

You can also have better analog RF components with more space (filters, LNAs, PAs, etc).

It's not necessarily true that the "advantage" of the AP is symmetric as well. The tx power is limited by FCC part 15 so the difference in tx power between AP and client is probably less than the difference in Rx sensitivity between the AP and client.

Even if the uplink and dowlink are symmetric, the traffic profiles are probably not - there's probably a lot more data going to the client.
This feels like as much an attempt to typo-squat on the existing tld. I don't know why else they wouldn't go with the Spanish equivalent. Also, if they want it for tourism (the other possibility), I don't see why they have any more of a right to it than Amazon, Inc. First-come, First-served.
> You can drive a manual in stop and go traffic. That doesn't make it not obviously worse for the task than an automatic.

It's weird, I've never actually thought of changing gear as a hassle or something that makes driving un-fun. Stop and go traffic is a game, where the goal is to not brake. Gears give me an additional way to achieve that goal. For me it's way more engaging and helps me pay more attention to the road...
Then someone builds a new router called a smart router and the cycle repeats itself .
It's more complicated than that.

First, this isn't an island, it's a shoal. The only dry land to speak of is 2 skerrys (32 square feet of land in total). They are uninhabited.

Second, the shoal is 400 miles from mainland China. It's only about a 100 miles from the Philippines, who have a claim on the shoal.

Third, UN arbitration has sided with the Philippines. China rejected such arbitration, but of course they would, since they have no real claim here.

This isn't just "muscle flexing" it's the US helping out an ally, one that happens to be in the right.

Valid reasons to work for a startup:

- You are a cofounder.

- You have little experience and you are using this to break into the industry, and get experience on many different technologies ("wear many hats").

- They are working on a very specific problem or using a specific technology that you strongly desire to work on and it's difficult to do it anywhere else.

- You want to work a certain way (remote, on the beach, whatever) and they are willing to go this route.

Invalid reasons for working at a startup:

- Getting rich off stock options.

- Making a lot of money in salary.

- Work / life balance.

- Stability.

Both ESO and the NFS hosts the images, don't know what gave you any other impression.

And while the EC stream was pretty bad, at least they let you skip back in the stream and left it up after the presentation ended. The NFS stream wouldn't allow you to go back (useful if you joined late) while it was up.

Personally I liked the ALMA stream best, but it's down now :(

Yes, localhost IS the exception. There is a lot of code that treats "localhost" specially. IIRC Chrome will let you do things on localhost:XXXX that are normally only possible for sites over HTTPS (Think geolocating and some other privacy-related things).
With MU-MIMO, it technically changes from a hub to a switch - MU-MIMO prevents spatial collisions, allowing the router to transmit to multiple stations simultaneously.

I do use the car outside the long trips. Looking at my mileage graph over the past 5 years[1] my usage is short trips in the winter/spring then much longer road trips in the summer/autumn. The spikes you see on it (2,000km plus) are generally single road trips.

GitHub Has Become a Haven for China's Censored Internet Users
Unfortunately we're using PSKs with NBD[1] as it's considerably easier to set up than certificates. The idea is the keys are shared securely over an existing TLS connection (secured using certificates), eg. over an existing REST API, granting one time or short period access to an NBD resource.

I believe we're not vulnerable to this specific one because we're not acting as both a client and server. Hopefully they'll find a way to fix this without deprecating or reducing the security/ease-of-use of PSK.

kqr, there are a lot of usability problems that come from stretching columns across the screen. There's a thread talking around some of them here on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19621284

My thinking is that most programmers love information-dense displays. But designers have shown that empty space is vital to creating a truly usable design.

If a website used some minor CSS to add a bit more line-height and slightly-larger font than most browsers ship with, then fills 3840 pixels with wall-to-wall-text, you'll successfully achieve the most information-dense possible site, but utterly sacrifice readability.

Again, I don't think it's accidental that books don't use multiple columns of 66 characters in a landscape-style aspect ratio.

In true HN fashion, commenters are searching for a local maximum (use more of my big monitor) that defies how ordinary people interact with the written word. :)
> To be sure, a filer's prior-year AGI would serve the purpose almost[3] as well. It doesn't even matter what "code" is actually required of the filer, only that one is required at all for the convenience of e-filing.

It matters to your statement, which is wrong as you made it.

It matters whether the "code" needed is something the taxpayer made up for this one specific purpose or is a number readily available on the form they are supposed to print and file, and can thus easily retrieve.

> maintaining record of prior-year AGI has utility beyond just tax returns

Everyone should be retaining at least three prior years of tax returns, so anything that helps prod them in that direction is a good thing.

> but the self-select PIN is truly arbitrary and serves no other purpose, so my gut feeling is it's a more effective mechanism

More effective mechanism for what? I personally think they should just ditch the PIN entirely and rely solely on AGI, for the reason I stated above.
Hardin was concerned primarily with overpopulation and the welfare state. His intention was to demonstrate that the welfare state contributes to overpopulation, which will doom us all. The more general concept of "tragedy of the commons" outgrew his incorrect assumption, and so his original theory and its criticisms are of little consequence outside of a historical curiosity.
DNSCrypt and other solutions typically involve changes to the DNS resolver in the underlying operating system. That's a lot harder to get changed and deployment can take a long time.

DOH can be implemented directly inside of the web browser application, since those browsers are obviously already doing everything over HTTPS. So the browser developers just have to build in a DNS client. From their perspective, I would see that being much simpler. And deployment is as easy as the next browser application update.
Good explanation of TF-IDF. Now I can verify if my colleagues have implemented it in the same way.
You can currently customize the trr address in firefox, so assuming you trust a network box's single HTTPS certificate, it can also run a DoH server.
