My Synology luckily was never pwned, but there were millions of attempts. Noticed higher than usual traffic one day, opened the access logs and found someone attempting to brute-force the SSH credentials... unfortunately for them I don't use passwords, only certs for authentication.
This is why I love old cars. And especially the "moderately expensive" cars of their era, like the Bertone-designed Alfa Romeo GTV from the early 1970s. A well kept specimen just feels so nice to drive and it is so easy to drive as well because there's nothing that needs fiddling with and nothing that is trying to meddle with your driving.

I wish they'd make simpler cars. With physical knobs that have proper tactile feedback.

(I'd wish for normally aspirated engines as well since they are nicer to drive, but turbos are the price we have to pay for 270-300hp 1.8 liter engines. sigh)
Except that Renault has actually very good controls, with separate physical wheels and buttons, for controlling the heater / ariflow, which is essential for driving.

Nothing that is important during driving should be controlled through the touch screen. Here Renault is better than Tesla.
I had a rotator cuff injury that went on for about two years before I went to a doctor. Their medical advice consisted of "Check Youtube" and they handed me two meters of resistance band.

I was skeptical, but two weeks of rather easy exercises and everything was fixed. It's taken me significantly longer to train myself to remember to use my left arm for anything overhead.
Its almost as if capitalism was made to extract as much surplus value from the worker to the capitalist as possible! (shareholder I mean I forgot its the 21th century)
>There is the right to say and think whatever you want. That does not imply the right to have your message amplified to millions.

Very easy to say when your message isn't being censored. After all, how could this ever turn around on YOU? Surely you'll always have the correct opinion on things!
Where are the actual income brackets? I clicked through the NPR article to the study itself and still can't find them.

I also don't understand how self-reported health can be objectively valid for a study like this.

E.g. if you believe you are healthy and never visit the doctor because you don't see a need to do so, but you have an undiscovered heart condition that causes your death a year after participating in the study.

It also seems like the headline is somewhat deceiving given that the study does not differentiate between mental and physical health. I don't assign the same weight to missing work because you are sick or injured to missing work because you feel depressed that day(I have admittedly had plenty of the latter at my old job).
Do you have a link where this is documented? Reports on this seem quite polarized.
It's just a simple tab completion in the REPL and usual editors, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20346931
I think either would be appropriate but I suggested specious because it rhymes with facetious and I often mix up rhyming words myself.
Yeah, quote the guy who's arguably the most responsible for California's mental health and homelessness problems.
Given that gut flora is connected to everything and involved in many common conditions and more to come, I think that's pretty significant.

It's also further proof that Monsanto is full of shit, always deceiving and lying as much as they can get away with. How much is it going to take before we make them stop?

Yes. I'm not sure this is so true for full thickness tears, but in general I think your point stands.

That said, patients also want surgery. I can't tell you how many patients I have referred to physical therapy for conditions which we know are improved by physical therapy (like routine lower back pain, minor muscle strains, etc) and they look at me like I'm crazy. I've seen it work in my patients that actually went and participated, but most go through the motions and stop going after a session or two because 'it wasn't helping'. I think part of american culture is that we want instant fixes, even for problems that have been brewing for decades like heart disease and diabetes... /endRant
Is $3.5k per engineer really any cheaper than hiring a bunch of guys to throw up drywall and a prehung door? I suppose ventilation ductwork (even in a drop-ceiling) will probably put you over, but we are still working in the same order-of-magnitude of a high-end workstation.

A few years ago we converted a large area to offices and drywall was actually cheaper than 70"+ height cubes (nobody wanted the "gopher" effect of the 4-5 foot cubes).

The final pricing of the drywall ended up slightly higher than the initial cube estimate, but only because network/phone/electricity was run into the walls for convenience.
This has little to do with music, but as an example of how a program has a "random" setting that doesn't make much sense, my KDE rotating background I've found has a really annoying implementation: Suppose I give it 2 directories full of photos, one of those containing 1000 photos, and the other containing only 1. It'll show that 1 photo half the time, because it's randomly selecting between the directories first, and then selecting among the photos in that directory. It should be selecting randomly between all 1001 photos, but that's not how it works.
And that's why I drive a Subaru.
Very interesting. From the second to last paragraph:

> They found that the higher the volume of new regulation in an industry -- measured by analyzing the text of the Code of Federal Regulation -- the less new entry is driven by high Q.

I'm unfortunately in the market for a new car, and I'm having to look into work vehicles like small cargo vans to avoid all this nonsense.

Touchscreens, radars, special Android apps, automatic climate control, buttons on the steering wheel...

Enough already, I just want a fucking car!

Airbags and antilock brakes save lives. A/C is useful in summer. Radio is nice. The rest is garbage.
Doesn't the conclusion of the actual experiment contradict the message being conveyed in the comment, though? It certainly does not clearly support it.

Yeah I was thinking cubicles as well. What's the end goal of this trend anyway? Let's take it to its logical conclusion: stacked anechoic cubicles 4 or 5 deep and 2 or 3 high, like a server farm.

And is there an app or service in existence currently using OTPs "properly", as you say?

OTPs are extremely onerous, if not impossible to implement properly in real life in a way that scales. Hence why nobody uses them (instead people use RSA/ECC/AES/etc).
Moving the cruise control on/off buttons off the steering wheel doesn't seem like the worst decision -- that's something that I usually press once per drive, and never touch it again, so in the interest of reducing the number of buttons on the steering wheel, putting the buttons elsewhere makes some sense. The center console seems like an unusual place to put it, the dashboard itself would seem to be a better place.

Though I don't understand how he hits it accidentally with his elbow, the only way I could hit a button on the center console would be if I lean down and do it intentionally. In the photo with his hand on the shifter, his elbow is on the armrest and couldn't touch the red buttons accidentally

The 'Double dipping' is referring to the average US citizen having to contribute just as much as western europeans from taxes towards healthcare, and then on top of that having to spend just as much privately from personal or employers insurance, and cash. US healthcare costs are about double that of other nations and tax contributions at the same level.

Are you saying that taxes in the US don't vary by income?
"Only shareholders matter" has been gospel for about a generation. And I do think that attitude is responsible for a lot that is wrong with the US.

But it is, I think, fair to note that corporations are not responsible for making sure the rules under which they function work for everyone. That particular failure belongs to government, or in the alternative, all of us for allowing such a shitty government.
"Customers are complaining they can't access a thing"

"OK, we have databases up, load balancers responding, DNS records check out, last change/deployment was at this time, all these services are up, and the latest test suite is running all green, this narrows down the places where a failure might be with some useful differential diagnosis, now we can move attention to.."

"I DON'T CARE THAT YOU THINK THINGS ARE WORKING, IF THE CUSTOMER CANNOT GET TO IT, IT'S DOWN"

"Thanks for that helpful input, let's divert troubleshooting attention from this P1 incident, and have a discussion about what "DOWN" means. You want me to treat the working databases as down because the customer can't get to them? Even though they're working?

It's like the hatred for "works on my machine". "WELL I'M NOT RUNNING ON YOUR MACHINE". No you aren't, but this demonstrates the current build works, the commands you're using are coherent and sensible, excludes many possible causes of failure, and adds useful information to the situation.
I marvel at those charts that show everything companies like Proctor and Gamble own - I cant believe it’s allowed. But yes you’re right too comment is already about how it’s unfair to criticize. So many apologists. Our economy is broken. It’s so dismaying.
Well we have 2 feet but 3 foot pedals sometimes. The point of the picture was to get an idea of how one could elbow that button: by slumping forward and to the right in a position that no driver should have while driving.

All I can say is try this in your own car.
I am in the camp of having systemd or your service manager of choice restart any killed service or service failing health check and emitting an ERROR or higher log message.

I want my systems to heal themselves. More often than not these memory problems end up being slow leaks which can be effectively permanently resolved with periodic restarts, and the engineering time to fix them is appropriately not prioritized.

I want to know that there has been a problem but I would rather not be forced to do anything about it unless absolutely necessary.
I'm sure if you tried building your own livestreaming or VOD service, you'd come up with similar solutions and insights. Peering problems are fairly obvious - put up a gigabit server in Germany and try livestreaming high bitrate video to a highspeed connection in San Francisco (or vice-versa), and watch as you run into problems despite having more than enough theoretical bandwidth.

When your users start to complain, you tend to develop the domain knowledge necessary to solve their problems pretty quickly.
And except pure anarchy this mythical free market has never existed and probably never will.
I agree that corporations taking bigger share of GDP is a good point (possibly because of technology / automation / information economy?), but “stock valuations have increased faster than either profits or the economy” is a red herring.

The fair value of a company is the net present value of future profits. To calculate NPV, you take some profit in the future, and discount it to the present by dividing it with the discount rate (usually inflation or risk-free rate), and repeat. Due to FED’s quantitative easing, the discount rate has been historically low for the past decade!
Bingo! One reason why Campaign Finance Reform is so important. But even that’s probably not enough.

For highway driving, having all the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel is a godsend. Guess it depends on the driver's usage of the car, but I'm a big fan of not having to fully take my hands of the wheel to enable/disable CC or alter the cruising speed/etc. :)
The strongly pro-capitalist portion of America is really of two minds on this topic - half believe what you stated above (which I think is a correct interpretation), the other half believe that companies should be patriotic and providing social benefits through charity or other forms of their own volition. I think that half-n-half mind settling is the source of a number of our ills. In a correctly running society: Companies are in it for themselves - the government is in it for the people. To that proper regulation can support the growth of the economy while regulatory capture is slowly choking out small business ventures.

I think the less pro-capitalist portion of America is mostly aligned with viewing companies as being driven by profit, with varying amounts of support - judging, indifferent, endorsing - for their pursuit of profit depending on where that individual falls on the spectrum. The economic and political situation is getting pretty dire IMO.

Thank you for teaching me something new, had never heard of panpsychism before - fascinating.

Do you know of this concept has been incorporated into physics somehow? Are there any models in physics that consider panpsychism as fundamental? (i.e. That consider consciousness as a basic property of matter/energy, just like the 3 special dimensions or time)
The best implementation I've tried of a touchscreen-like interface was the Lexus Remote Touch, where you control a cursor on the screen with a physically-moving sliding x/y controller, with force feedback so that it physically "snaps" to buttons.
> There are things such as cellular intelligence which we know is exhibited in even the smallest of prokaryotes and eukaryotes cells

Ah, that's a biiig claim. Which may be true nonetheless. Can you be more precise in this context about 'intelligence' as distinct from action-reaction?

BTW there is a claim that plants can be conditioned a la pavlov. I'll try to dig out the ref (recently in new scientist). Amazing if verified.

> about how plants were more adaptive to radiation

Adapted in this context means adaptations so as to 'not die' I suspect. Please correct me if needed.
The fractals on this site are not "escape-time fractals" like the Mandelbrot set, but iterated function systems[1], a more discrete fractal variant that starts with an initial generating set and then replaces each element with a smaller copy of the whole set (a good example would be ferns).

This is effectively the idea behind the Ethereum blockchain model. You can make "smart contracts" (think APIs with persistent state) using languages like Solidity[1] and deploy them onto the blockchain. After that, you can invoke individual functions by paying "gas" (small amounts of ETH) that goes to the node operator's account. Smart contracts also get their own blockchain addresses, so they're capable of sending and receiving transactions. Meaning you can build financial applications with little to no barriers to entry! (whether this is a good thing or not, I will leave up to the reader).

The really cool thing about it is that nobody owns a smart contract once it's deployed. You can't edit the code or even delete the contract itself. It's a truly autonomous entity that will continue to operate the same way forever (unless there's a 51% attack or something of that nature).

The obvious benefit for this is that you can mathematically ensure trust. For example, if you hosted a lottery app on a LAMP stack, you could steal the money, hackers could get into your server, your database could get corrupted, etc. On the blockchain, nobody can access your lottery funds or business logic, not even yourself, meaning that as long as you developed the application correctly (to be fair, that is a big assumption), it is truly fair.

> getting rid of racism and gender inequality

You can't get rid of racial and gender inequality, because we're inherently inequal to each other AND between the genders. It's in our DNA for the foreseeable future. We can diminish and mute it, at best. Diminishing returns has set in, while we ignore the more impactful issues.
> the solution to having a hurt joint is to make that joint significantly stronger

This may seem like nit-picking, but I think it's important for people with joint damage to understand: you aren't actually making the joint itself stronger. The cartilage and ligaments, bones are not strengthening. Injuries to those tissues are more or less forever.

What you are doing through therapeutic exercise is strengthening the musculature around the joint. The muscles provide most of the support and restraint to keep the joint intact relieving pain and preventing (further) injury. The right muscles, strengthened in balanced form, are what make joints strong.

AV would certainly be judged with less hostility if it hadn’t built itself on the assumption that neural networks were the solution to any problem too hard to model.

It’s going to be extremely hard for AV manufacturer to explain that it’s impossible for them to guarantee that a certain abnormal autopilot behavior that caused an accident isn’t going to happen again.
I seriously wonder if there are any extreme psychopaths or serial killers, that intentionally eat as much Octopus as possible just to satisfy their urge to cause maximum harm to other beings?

I can't eat Octopus, Pigs, Dogs, or any type of Ape because they are too aware of the process.

Oddly I don't have the same aversion to Dolphins or Whales. They may have a comparable amount of intelligence to animals that I wouldn't eat, and a dolphin is even cuter than an octopus, but for some reason I don't have a problem identifying them as food. Sort of like Sheep and Goats, they are cute, but also clearly labeled as food in my head.

A lot of lobbying kills regulation in its tracks. I think there's two kinds of regulation, and it's valuable to distiguish them: regulation that places onerous barriers to entry to entrench existing players (the type you mention), but also: regulation that prevents a truly free market. For example, Medicare being unable to negotiate drug prices, by law. The latter is a regulation that does nothing to deter new companies from entering the pharmaceutical industry, but we all suffer through higher federal expenditures, and ultimately, higher taxes.
Similar but earlier story... staying up late at night or waking up early before school to login to BBS's. First with a Practical Peripherals modem that my dad acquired to dial into his business (which still used teletype). I got myself a Hayes 2400[1] and convinced my dad to get the fixed calling within your area code which I mostly paid for with my part-time work. I tried to stay within my LATA which included Sherwood Forest, Camelot, some others with doors and FIDO that can't recall. And then I made a mistake and on the advice of another BBS'er tried one in what I thought was a neighboring LATA. It was great! Active! Doors! gFiles! Warez! But was actually zones away in Texas. I had a good old time until the bill came. My Dad was purple he was so angry and I worked a lot of odd jobs to pay that off.

These types of setups have their uses! I have tried to achieve similar setups in the past using a Fedora VM running VNC server and a Chromebook running VNC client. One pain point that you might not expect is how the client handles the Crtl, Alt, and Windows key modifiers. Browser-based clients especially will not pass these through, and thust interfacing with the remote system is usually not as convenient as many newcomers expect.
