> All the accusations Bush 43 made against the democrats for being Russian-leaning communists

I don't recall Bush 43 accusing Democrats of being "Russian-leaning communists" even one single time, let alone so often you could talk about "all" the times he did it. I loathed nearly everything about Bush 43 and his administration, but can you cite an example or two (more would be better) where this actually happened?

I don't know if it's my memory that's faulty or yours, but you're the one lamenting our poor memory of recent events and I don't believe these particular recent events even happened.
I think the extreme opposite equally applies on social media, people who would moderate themselves in real life seem to let it all out on social media. So instead of pretending to be something they are not, they reveal their truest opinions and thoughts.

For example extreme political and religious opinions. I've seen long term real life friendships broken because someone said something extreme about Brexit on facebook. I have a very religious friend who berates me constantly on facebook for being an ex-Catholic, she tells me I need to save myself etc - but she would never say that to me in real life.

Social media is so good at making people say stupid things.
The phones from 2012 would still be perfectly functional if the software didn't come with increasingly ridiculous performance requirements. What's the reason for the upgrade? Camera?

With the ability to easily swap batteries, and more efficiently written software, nobody would have to really update their phones. Which is why I guess most batteries are now integrated.

It's a terribly waste just for corporate profits and peoples vanity's sake.
Facebook's is compounded by the mysterious newsfeed algorithm - if you're infinite scrolling a limited set of items in chronological order it wouldn't be as bad. But I've seen things in my newsfeed and then not been able to find them again if I accidentally closed or reloaded my tab.

If you noted who posted/shared it you can find it on their profile, but if all you noticed was the headline or image on a shared item it might as well be gone forever once you lose your place in the feed.

I wouldn't say that's the main reason I don't check my Facebook feed anymore, but it's one of them.
> DNS requests are routinely ... monitored by ISPs

DoH doesn't prevent ISP monitoring. Even if they cannot see the DNS request, the browser sends the ISP the returned A/AAAA record in the header of a TCP SYN packet. The ISP necessarily sees the hosts you are connecting to; they don't need to see the DNS traffic. DoH to Cloudflare allows both Cloudflare and the ISP to monitor your pattern-of-life.

> DoH is vital to protect users around the world from censorship and worse.

Yes, it would be a useful tool to fight censorship, but don't conflate that with monitoring traffic. The ISP still sees the addresses and ports in the IP+TCP headers.

I’m surprised that the work on the glymphatic system still isn’t widely known, but pretty clear it solves the why. We sleep because the glymphatic process cleans the brain of the damage caused by waking life.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25947369/

Seems likely the process is more efficient for some people versus others, just as it’s active during waking life but much less so. Less/more clearance/cleaning is mechanistically explained by the need for less/more sleep.

> These days, if you want civil political discussion, you either need to keep out people with very different opinions

That's called an echo chamber. That isn't discussion, it's just playing with yourself.

> these discussions usually do tend to devolve to incivility

This the internet, anyone is free to comment, and some amount of those comments will be in-civil. Don't reply to them, flag/report/downvote as appropriate. However - if a comment is one you disagree with, and you think it's uncivil, it's probably best to just take a step back because human bias (whether it's me, or you, or any other random HNer) is strong.

> you need to have an extremely involved and active full-time moderation team to keep things civil

In my experience, while a moderation team can do a lot of good, they can also simply turn a given community into an echo chamber of the moderation staff's views. See /r/politics on reddit for an example of this.

Next time you find yourself headed down the path of what seems like a disagreement turning into a real argument, take a moment to restate the points of your opponent you agree with. I usually use something like "So here are the points I think we agree on..."

Then, I usually like to highlight what seems to be the fundamental difference between the two statements, "It seems like we're in disagreement over X".

Don't assign value statements or qualifiers here. Your goal isn't to help or hinder any side of the argument when you do this, it's just to re-align the participants.

Often when people get upset in a discussion, it's because they feel like they're not being heard. They're making a case, and you're arguing something else, which causes frustration and anger. Taking a moment to re-align indicates you are listening to your discussion partner (or if you aren't being a good listener, will help find where you went off track).
I find it so weird that society equates news consumption with being informed. In this era especially, news seems to be mostly opinion pieces about trivial events. I'd wager that those actively abstaining from the news have a better grip on the events impacting them and the world in general than those who are trying to stay up-to-date 24/7 on Twitter, or cable news, or any information fire-hose of your choice.

I'm hesitant to agree since Google is infamous for sunsetting programs.

Regardless, it is still better than any SIM solution.
Twitter uses SMS as a single factor, because you can reset the password with only access to the text message. If Twitter was using SMS only as a 2nd factor, this attack would not have worked without also knowing Jack’s password or having access to his email. Twitter’s password reset function could require an SMS code and then send a password reset email to complete the process.

Number porting should require an SMS to the existing SIM with the ability to respond NO to cancel the process and flag the request as fraud (e.g. whoever made the request on the carrier side should be flagged, to fish out compromised support reps).

A mandatory time delay (12 or 24 hours) could be imposed. This would slightly inconvenience people who lost their SIM and need to setup a new one. This seems like a reasonable cost/security trade-off for losing a SIM card. Mission critical numbers should be implemented as forwarding services that separately route to the cell phone anyway, so “this number must be live right now” is not a reasonable excuse to compromise everyone’s security.

You could also mandate a short delay (4 business hours) and high value targets that sometimes take international flights could opt-in to longer (24/48 hour) waiting periods. The expectation should be that 99% of users keep the default.

Using SMS as a second factor has trade-offs. This isn’t news because every single authentication mechanism presents a unique set of trade-offs in terms of cost of provisioning, ease of use, possibility of loss, possibility of spoofing, replay, etc.

SMS is an extremely powerful authentication factor due to its availability, cost, and accessibility. It’s worth it to shore up protection against SIM swaps not in the least because it would improve the security posture of SMS as an authentication factor. It would still not make SMS perfect. Nothing is.
Well there is whole article linked explaining just that.

In Europe we have laws that make it atomic in effect. The money the contract is signed, the deal is closed, the ownership transfer is made and the money is owed and can be demanded through the justice system if the other party doesn't pay up.

You need to be more specific. Beef is more expensive to produce than grains. But leafy greens are way more expensive to produce than beef. Non-meat food has a 50x range in cost to produce a calorie. You have to be specific about which non-meat foods you’re replacing meat consumption with. If you’re eating a bunch of kale and avocado instead of meat, then your change probably has no net environmental benefit. If you switch to mostly grains and legumes, then that’s a different story.
> There's significantly more attention provided to things like Wasm than there is to things like embedded use cases for example.

The largest battery farm on earth is 100MWh and it cost about 90 million dollars. For a 25GWh battery installation, you'd be looking at 22~23 billion dollars using basic linear extrapolation, and I still question if this is enough reserve capacity for our summer peak demand.

Well, really, it's a result of selective enforcement and interpretation of law. One administration decides it doesn't care for a rule and decides not to enforce, or instead tailoring their interpretation to meet their desired outcome as to not appear asleep at the wheel. The next one comes along and decides it wishes to enforce based on another interpretation.

This is a consequence of human systems, ultimately.
Most of the software contractors I know easily meet (A) and (B). In these cases, they bid on the job based on its requirements, have multiple customers, define how they will implement the software, and sometimes even have employees.

When I personally worked as a contractor, the other contractors I worked with mostly bounced from short gig to short gig. That would probably meet (B). (A) was a bit more subjective.

If you're a long-time contractor for a single customer, and that single customer has a high level of direction over your day-to-day work, you are at risk of being defined a W2 employee by a legal entity like the IRS. (Or the state of CA.) In such a case, it's important that you clearly understand the legal difference between a contractor and an employee; and have some frank discussions with your "customer." It's important to point out that your "customer" bears the risk of you being redefined as an employee, so it's in their best interest to make sure that your contractor relationship follows the law as best as possible.
>taxing global income only hurts law abiding expats

If you want to maintain your citizenship and have a safe-haven to run to if SHTF, then you should contribute to the tax system. I truly don't understand why this is controversial. An American passport is powerful.

Edit: I suppose I shouldn't be shocked that the tax avoiding leeches in Silicon Valley don't feel obligated to contribute to the societies from which they extract their wealth. I'm glad the system is catching up.
If we could go back in time and redesign everything from a clean slate, we really should just have different formats and client apps for “run portable apps with rich GUIs over the Internet” and “view text with clickable links embedded.”
It’s a nice theory, but the real world has the problem of component obsolescence. Basically the company must start redesigning parts with new components for old product while developing a new product. It’s ok in industrial settings, but I doubt anybody will do this in consumer space. DDR2 memory is already gone. Plus cellphone market cycles are extremely short.
Interesting, thanks.

I guess if these use normal DNS requests first to determine if it should be allowed, then it will work.

This is a model of the real social cost of carbon. Which means someone will pay it, maybe not you or me though, and maybe not right now. And that cost may go up.

I love the advice and idea, but this reminded me of an excerpt from The Third Door by Alex Banayan.

“Mr. Buffett, I’ve heard that one of your ways of focusing your energy is that you write down the 25 things you want to achieve, choose the top five and then avoid the bottom 20. I’m really curious how you came up with this and what other methods you use for prioritizing your desires?”

Buffett chuckled, responding, “Well, I’m actually more curious about how you came up with it.” The audience erupted in laughter.

Buffett proceeded to explain that both he and Munger live very simple lives, and are not disciplined enough to approach decision-making in that way. “I can’t recall making a list in my life,” said Buffett.

To my understanding (not a lawyer / accountant) if you hire someone part time like that you're not obligated to pay for their insurance or anything like that.

You just write off what you paid them as a business expense and send them a 1099 at the end of the year (this is the official document stating how much money you gave them during the year -- your accountant will generate the form for you).

Then it's up to them to file their taxes for that income, but this is out of scope for you. As long as you've sent them their 1099 you've done your job.
Agreed, I'd prefer setting up the DNS-over-HTTPS config at the gateway level (and either push the config over DHCP, or have the gateway act as a local resolver, which forwards the new requests over DoH), but we're not there yet.
Yeah... So, this is a South African independent online-only publication for news. They also have an investigative arm. Investigative journalism is in the dumps in South Africa at the moment; on the one hand it's due to simple lack of anyone buying hard copies anymore, and on the other due to the powers that be (owners of publications) discouraging investigative journalism because it can get a bit close to home sometimes. I'm sure they're sorry about the ads, but they have to something. I donate a couple bucks to them every month.
> Languages are typically judged by their defaults. If rust can produce small binaries, then it must produce small binaries.

Code size isn't the only axes that can be used to measure the quality of a binary, there are many others: like run-time performance, portability, debuggability, etc.

No C compiler I know optimizes for size by default, in fact, I don't know of any C compiler that, by default, optimizes anything at all. Clang, GCC, MSVC, and all other mainstream compilers require users to enable optimizations (O1, O2, O3, Ofast, etc.) and none of these are code-size optimizations. Only relatively recently have compilers grown the ability to optimize for size, and you have to go way out of your way to do it (enable Oz, disable debug information -g0, enable LTO -flto, ...).

Optimizing for size over anything else by default is one of the worst trade-offs a compiler can make. It's a bad trade-offs for most programs, and it is a bad-tradeoff for most compiler users.
