The history of Stern is a little crazy. Sam Stern founded Stern Electronics with the assets from Chicago Coin and Seeburg. Seeburg had previously owned Williams, but spun it off into its own company when Seeburg went bust. Sam Stern had manged the Williams division, but didnt get the assets to it when Seeburg went under.

Stern Electronics went under in the 80s and folks ended up at Data East, then Sega. Eventually Sega got out of pinball and sold the assets to Gary Stern, Sam's son, to form Stern Pinball. This was about the same time Williams got out of pinball, and I think their assets ended up at a German company.
DNS-over-HTTPS in Firefox? Yes, it does, at the moment. See https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/dd7e27f4a805e4115d... -- 0 means it's off.
Where do you stand on falsely claiming "fire" in a crowded movie theater?
Funny how exactly EU follows the path Russia has recently taken. After Russia passed the law that banned online material promoting terrorist content, suicide, drug information and harm to children, and so on, there was an avalanche of false takedown requests and misidentifications, including attempting to block Wikipedia, ban Bhagavad Gita commentary (yes, really) and many more anecdotes that sound funny unless you live there. Now Russia has progressed to banning "insulting" the government publicly, i.e. direct ban on political dissent. I wonder how long it would be until EU does the same.

I see a number of comments celebrating the choice to live in a bubble uninformed and blissfully unaware of local and global events. Admittedly, a number of news sources are quite bad at actually reporting the news. But there still are quite a number of news organizations and news reporters that take their roles seriously. You can find them, that is if you are actually interested in being informed.

I'm sure there's some virtue signalling going on here, similar to the "I don't watch TV" from years ago. It just strikes me as odd that people will gloat about their ignorance, on HN of all places.
M87's black hole is currently eating something big, which makes it brighter. The black hole at the center of the milky way doesn't seem to have eaten anything lately, so it's accretion disk may be small or nonexistent.
Actually, cmos input stages are high impedance, i.e. high resistance, and therefore have close to no current flowing between state changes. The output stage should be very low impedance if driving loads, or very high impedance if turned of. Indeed, switching between states, saturating the gates with enough electrons is the problem that generates heat, when there is voltage and resistance visible for the following node. At that scale, the small resistance of the connections plays a role, too, sure.

The black hole itself is spherical, but the light we're seeing around it isn't projected by the event horizon; rather, it's light from behind/around the black hole that isn't blocked. This video explains in much more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUyH3XhpLTo
Amazon has offered them subdomains based on their country code, so .br.amazon for example. But they want to share access on the root domain, but that's not really how domain name systems were designed. They are designed to be hierarchical, so it makes sense for Amazon to grant full control of a subdomain to them rather than share.

Sharing would be a security nightmare also. Imagine any cookies set for .amazon ? How would the browser share between amazon subdomains vs non if they shared the root?
Easy to deal with by not applying privileges until the parent is done tinkering and hits start.
I guess the same reason why police and government is allowed to lie to you, but if you lie to police or government you're a felon. Because they can. As long as people vote for such situation to continue, it continues.
Pedestrians and heavy vehicles shouldn't be routed on the same level (/altitude/z-layer) in the first place.
It’s really hopeless each time one realizes how French and German politicians perceive the internet. For them the internet is not synonymous with the freedom of creativity and expression, but with the freedom to restrain and to control.
There is a difference between the AF 447 situation and what is recommended in the article.

What is suggested is that the aircraft refrain from performing risky manoeuvres based on such wildly out-or-range sensor outputs.

This does not mean that aircraft should suppress warnings of such sensor readings from the pilots.

It seems to me it is more like something bad happened what could have prevented it? Then find out multiple things that could have prevented it. Then figure out which of those ways would be most economically feasible and also would avoid many other similar problems.

But in general it is good to ask questions, and it's good to allow multiple answers to the same question.
Regardless of EU membership the UK is very much not on a track to "do better" when it comes to anything freedom related.
I totally agree with you, except the UK are the ones with the cookie banners. At least if each country comes up with their own draconian set of internet laws, it will be easier to ignore them all since there will be less "juice" behind each version of the law.
Constitutionally amend the EU, revert it to being more of an economic body than a judicial body.
Decades into the future I will be an old man screaming that wireless will never replace wired networking while some insane people have come up with real-world 10 Gbps wi-fi connections. The realities of wireless communications don't seem to have changed much since the early days of wi-fi at 802.11b and prior and while wired networking has somewhat hit a wall for consumers in the datacenter it's still kicking ass and taking names at 400 Gbps and software is among the bigger limitations than the hardware.
The concept of "fork aware" didn't exist until threads. You could argue it's a thread problem. Remember, every library and OS functionality aso needs to be "thread aware" when threads are introduced. The pthread_atfork function can be thought about as "what do we do about thread and thread paraphernalia when we fork" rather than "what do we do about fork when we have threads".

Even the close-on-exec flag race condition is a result of threads. duplicating a file descriptor and setting its close-on-exec flag is a two step process during which a fork can happen, causing a child to inherit the descriptor without close-on-exec flag being yet set. But that can only happen if there are threads. (Or something crazy, like fork being called out of an async signal handler).
Um, how does watching news help anyone’s plight, precisely?
Okay. I’m not being completely honest - I’m leaving out some details that changed the equation for me.

I did graduate from a no name school with a horrible CS program in the mid 90s and it didn’t affect my career.

That could have been a horrible mistake. Especially seeing that I was accepted to Georgia Tech (still a state school) but I went to my school for free and they gave me room and board even though I stayed at home.

However, the few others that graduated with me from the CS department weren’t so lucky. I had the advantage of having a computer growing up and a lot of them didn’t have one growing up or in college. By the time I got to college, I had already been programming in assembly for 6 years on an Apple //e and in college I had an (expensive) Mac running Soft PC (x86 emulator). I also released a shareware program in college that caught the attention of another college to give me my first freelance contract.

That led to me being able to impress another company in Atlanta they offered me an internship with free lodging. Which led to my first job and the rest is history.

There was no GitHub back then or an easy way for most people to publish software. I happened to know how to hack around a dialup gopher server (showing my age) to get to Nyx (http://nyx.net/) that offered a Unix shell to publish to the ftp Info Mac archives.

Today, I have a relative who was thinking about getting a CS degree from the same college I went to. I discouraged him and his mom from him going there. He actually needed the exposure, the education increased opportunities for internships, etc.

I still said that he should do his first two years st home and then transfer to a college in Atlanta.

But, if he was going to enter a low paying, non competitive field like teaching, social work, etc. I would have suggested he stay in the no name state school.
It's bad for business. You do have to remember that a lot of movers n' shakers (Cisco, Juniper, Alcatel, Ericsson, Qualcomm, Broadcom, IBM, and a slew of other companies that have a product other than advertising/user data and need hardware and support to keep expanding to stay afloat) see net neutrality as a large threat, so politicians that are opposed to it are in good company in terms of corporate donors.
Why are they all wearing suits?
The root cause may be something outside your team, but that doesn't mean you're saying you'll sit on your hands. "The service we depend on failed" can still mean, "and we need to implement better retries or redundancy" as a remedy.
This is amazing, well done!
DX has poor documented features. Ask DXVK developers about it.
Nope. The view of our own galaxy's supermassive black hole is completely obstructed by matter within our own galaxy. You can't see to the core of our galaxy; it's too dense. You'd have to send a rocket quite some distance outside of the galactic plane to get a good view of it.
> Do you have any reason to insult Microsoft researchers?

Yes: they are pompous wankers who want to dictate not only what features people should include in their operating system, but what we should be teaching CS students.
Maybe we should have some anonymous (preferably distributed) internet archive which is only available through tor?
I agree with you that the supply of those workers is low (I am one of them! And hiring more is extremely hard!) ... but it doesn’t mean Google / FB / etc have meaningful work for them. A friend of mine was hired as a senior ML person at Facebook and ended up working solely on cartoon avatars and page responsiveness / latency optimization (not using ML).

When he raised the issue to managers that he wasn’t working on anything related to his specialization (deep learning for NLP) and this made him unhappy, the response was essentially, “Get in line.” I’ve heard similar stories about Google from a former boss who had been a long time manager in Google.

You essentially get paid super well to be put out to pasture so that your skill isn’t being used by other companies (leading to more demand for Google’s managed AI solutions).

In order to get career-developing work, you have to play political games or get hired in a non-standard way, like acqui-hire or poached, where you can negotiate your projects as part of your hiring conditions. Eventhen it will probably only be respected for a short time while it’s convenient for Google, and they’ll find a way to manage you out of that situation when they want to.

There are some tremendously talented AI engineers in places like Google. Some of them create awesome products and tools. A bunch of others sit around and atrophy working on dumb shit locked in golden handcuffs just to ensure they’re not on the market and able to help a company build things in-house more cheaply / more optimally than if they needed to buy it through some managed services through Google.
I just don't like the spacing with DejaVu... it's awkward is about all I can say about it. I do like Roboto a lot myself, and it's generally my default these days.
Very well coded and documented.
This is so frustrating because it describes my family...

They understand empathy and the concept of a carbon footprint, but don't consider them when it comes to decision making. In my experience, it is as if it isn't a variable in the equation.
Why don't you suggest some accurate news sources that have a net-positive effect on the reader's life and mood, rather than shaming?
What they're saying is that we had to send a camera away from the Earth (in a rocket) in order to photograph it properly, and similarly you'd need to send a camera away from our galaxy (in a biiiig rocket) in order to be able to photograph it properly.
I'm not prepared to dox myself for this, so ... whenever I see a drug story where they state numbers I calculate the yearly 'wage' they're getting for their prison sentence and often it's more than £30k. AFAICT they're getting much more, because they often get out early.

First from the list in my local paper for "drug gang 'ordered to repay'" (censored):

>A Proceeds of Crime Act hearing was told K and E had benefitted to the tune of £55k each.

>The pair appeared in $place Crown Court from custody and were told by Judge $judge to repay <£1k ea. within 30 days or face an extra 7 days in prison.

>$Y members of the gang who made nearly £200,000 were forced to hand over just over <<£10k between them. //

The next story is headlined about paying back £6k from £180k taking; these are both stories from the last 6 months.

The drugs in the stories are mostly cocaine and heroin in my UK location.
Sometimes, sort of. If you think about the things you read on the news, you'll notice that 99%+ ends up being of no consequence for anything. A lot of what people get outraged about daily is total bullshit, and it gets forgotten the very next day, but even the more important-seeming issues really average out to zero impact on the community. In terms of information, the news is a channel with absurdly low signal/noise ratio. If you want to positively impact people, your first job should be finding a channel with higher SNR.

There's a secondary value to news (or rather primary, in terms of value delivered) - social objects. Most people know what's currently on the news, so even though the raw information value is near-zero, it becomes a great conversation starter.
Biggest democratic election ever in human history is happeing
The best thing I have seen today!
Google educates the market for a solution like theirs (or yours). Then, for everyone who thinks they don't wanna rely on Google due to their history of product abandonment or can't send their data to Google, they look for open source solutions that they can self-host. You want to be there for those people as the best open source solution. This may not be a death-knell. This may be your biggest opportunity to get traction in this space!
That's great, but that doesn't actually guarantee that this new feature requires that the phone is using the hardware security module, just that you'd be able to prove if it it was.

Don't get me wrong, it's still better than TOTP in many ways, but having the actual security coprocessor is a big distinction.
Given tech workers complete inability to form a union or guild I wouldn't bet on it.
I don't agree. Why are you so sure that you know what is obviously right and obviously wrong? That is a viewpoint which is both arrogant, and also has no objective grounding to talk about.
Careful with the staple gun. Some of them are more powerful than you might think, and are potentially capable of pushing the staple through the insulation and providing a nice conductor to connect the wires. It has happened to me.
It is difficult to be sure from the flight data chart that was published in the Seattle Times, but it looks possible that the faulty AofA reading was below 25 degrees for most of the Lion Air flight.

Reading between the lines, Greenspun has presented these crashes as "the first mass killings by software". That claim looks clearer if you present it as wholly due to the absence of a few common-sense lines of code, and downplay the other systems design issues, such as the lack of triple redundancy, the failure to use the dual redundancy to detect sensor error, and the fact that the system was unnecessarily powerful, being able to drive the trim all the way forward.
Using an TLS only port doesn't solve the problem. Since MTA's will be required to also offer the normal unencrypted interface there would still be no way to tell an other MTA that it should use TLS with you. An mitm attack can then simply block access to your dedicated TLS port and force use of unencrypted protocols.
I had to stop following him on other media due to the broken record nature of his complaints against dnssec :-/

It sucks to have to start tuning out useful bits because they're so often accompanied by tired rants.
>Not really. Once trademarks become "things", that trademark ceases to be effective and can rarely be enforced. TLD's are not for trademarks. This isn't complicated.

Amazon (the company) has a very (probably the most) legitimate claim to the gTLD as the word is most often used to refer to the company. I'm not really sure that there's any need to bring trademarks into this.

>This should be your sign that you're just grasping at straws and you're not here to learn or make any kind of substantial argument.

It's literally the exact argument you made. I suppose this would mean that you're also grasping at straws, maybe we should start some kind of a club?
Depends on how false false is. If someone actually believes there to be a fire that's one thing. If someone is clearly doing it with intent to cause harm to others, then that's a crime and they should be charged with such; after the fact.

I'm against installing verbal filters on everyone just in case someone might shout 'fire' in a crowded place with intent to cause harm.
I think if you mentioned which organizations you actually thought were credible people would disagree. Personally I’m constantly looking for a decent news source but haven’t found any. I settle for multiple bad ones on different sides of the issues.
I believe Banksy authorizes their artwork. But they do not authorize the display of it in the museums?
Been doing this a few years, after seeing lots of apps and devices using 8.8.8.8 despite being given my resolver back via DHCP (so obviously hard-coded into them and they’re ignoring os dns.)

No practical drawbacks so far, although I have found many “open resolvers” online from my home, only to realize it’s the redirection messing things up.
Another interesting thing about that iopscience paper is that you can turn MathJax on/off with a link at the top. Mathjax is off by default, but when you turn it on, you get a nicely rendered equation instead of a gif image.
Really awesome link, thanks for that! It's always interesting to see theory that is decades out in front of experimental confirmation, and then proves to be dead right.
No; what's "wrong" -- to keep up with your phraseology -- is to treat sex as the be all and end all of living an awesome life (see the root comment of this thread).
How are the loans paid back? Easy, more borrowing!
Dont forget about powerline-to-ethernet adapters, esp if you only have a small number of devices or dont need full gigabit bandwidth. experience varies, but if the two endpoints are on the same breaker, you can get > 100mbps, and if it has to cross breakers, you can (potentially) still get over 1mbs, which is enough for streaming and basic surfing. Much easier than running wire or messing with drywall if you're not handiman-inclined.
Or maybe they forgot to add the flying unicorns to power it.

I'm not sure why you think boeing would lie about it. Or how they'd convince the regulators in two different countries to cover it up since you can see the behaviour by reading the graphs in the preliminary report.
fork is pretty much always going to be cheaper than starting a new process in scratch over the same executable image (and library images) and then re-playing everything inside that process so that it gets into exactly the same state as the creator to be a de facto clone of it.
If you weren't talking about userland crashes, then your crack about "an OS on which crashing is expected behavior" makes no sense.
They could easily do it for communications between gmail users... they just don't want to do it.

> FWIW: As long as the email does not leave Google (i.e. an email between 2 gmail inboxes) it is actually already encrypted end-to-end (AFIAK).

no, end-to-end means from user1-to-user2, not from user1-to-gmail and then from gmail-to-user2 (ie: gmail should never be able to see the content of your communications if it was truly end-to-end)
Nobody was even thinking about TLDs when these were being decided.

I would imagine that only a few, if any, countries really cared very much about this at the time.
> Their legal team review the local statutes

In the US, local statutes and AUPs don't enter into it. This is federal law. You're right, there have been a number of organizations that have done this -- and enough of them have been fined for it that the number is much smaller than it used to be.
Thanks for posting, Have been following the recent updates but's it's been tricky to visualise the actions taken within the cockpit.

As someone without much aviation knowledge, but with and interest in the engineering/process side of the 737 Max news, I've found Juan Browne's videos [1] to be very informative and well-condensed.

So now to send email over SMTP it is required to host policy on.. HTTPS server? (or else all your mail will end up in spam?)
Why it isn't just extra TXT DNS record indicating that TLS is required?

EDIT: I think DANE TLSA records are already doing that.
Where Is Confluent Going?
Actually there's been an Elisp function posted to the Org mailing list to calculate Easter dates that has made it into the Org FAQ [1].

However, I'd prefer if all these things were merged into mainline.

I disagree with that on a personal experience, and I have read plenty of research from suggesting that while pressure is part of the equation it isn’t necessarily corporate pressure. It is more often related to lack of purpose, lack of guidance, personal conflict with a superior.

All these can go un-identified, stress accumulates, productivity decreases, and that’s when corporate pressure can kick in.

In my case there was no corporate pressure, although there was clear decrease in performance.

As soon as I figured out (actually a LICSW, over the phone and one face-to-face visit) that I was doing a burnout, I was able to get back on my feet make a plan and I liked my job and my environment again.

This was a few years ago, and now I’m feeling going down a bit, and I blame the lack of direction, lack on continuity, lack of a mission. I could literally stop doing any meaningful work for a year before anyone would acknowledge any form of poor performance.

I am obviously not going this route, I have a plan, but corporate pressure isn’t what is triggering me, the lack thereof might be
I'm surprise the solutions section didn't include the most obvious solution of all: require the hypothesis, procedures, and expected results to be published before beginning the experiment. This would force them to publish their results if they fail, and also publish if they changed their methods and why. It still wouldn't be 100% reliable but it would help.

The other solutions presented were also good though. Making the data cleaner for other to analyze is always a good thing, especially in the "machine learning" age.
