> It's always got to be someone else who has to "sacrifice".

No that is bullshit. I am personally willing to pay the price to reduce my carbon impact. Indeed I already do with flights, etc. I couldn't care less if my electricity price doubled or tripled to deal with the problem.

The problem is NOT these upper middle classes as you say, but the lower classes who would be absolutely wiped out by these changes - not to mention losing their cars. That's the insidious part. Low carbon prices actually benefits those lowest on the food chain. It pits the rich against the poor - and how does that go these days?

There should be a startup that uses machine learning to convert arbitrary fluff from the internet to BLUF format as a service.
The question is then how do you source those 17 elements at scale. With traditional farming, they are naturally replenished with the lifecycle of soil and its surrounding fauna. In the case of hydroponics, they will be extracted in some form of industrial process that is most likely not sustainable.
I was involved in some GPS SDR research in university, and this is one of those conversations where I have reservations about participating both because of potential exporting of technology (hey guys, here are some GPS jamming tips!) and simply making doing nefarious things easier for people who found my comment. On another level it is unfortunate to feel and act suspicious and mistrusting.

In addition to the Path of Exile suggestions, I'd recommend Grim Dawn as an alternative. An extremely fun and interesting Diablo clone. Coincidentally, the prequel / same engine was used for 2006's Titan Quest, which is now available on iOS and Android. Although I haven't actually played the mobile versions, I think as per the original, there won't be any microtransactions, or multi level marketing schemes to "win", just dozens of hours of campaign. Both games are highly recommended in general, the class systems offer such interesting and unique combinations.
That prince Salman is a serious politician?

Of course he's a serious politician, and a skilled one at that. He has managed to greatly strengthen ties with the US, outmaneuver most of his political 'enemies', keep the flow of western weapons coming into his country and get the entire western world to kind of shrug and forget that he had a journalist murdered and cut up with a bone saw.
Your proposal seems like it doesn't really change anything? Users are still left to "do their own reconnaissance".

Too many Bloomberg articles make it to the front page of Hacker News and that is unfortunate because Bloomberg is corporate media at its most diabolical. Bloomberg has a long history of publishing articles to earn moral credit and then cashing out on that credit from time to time with articles that clearly favor a small group of special corporate interests. Today, the story is that generics are harmful and cause cancer -- we better pay 20x for those name brands. Before, there were unsubstantiated claims about microprocessors used by Apple that were spiked with surveillance hardware: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-h...

Don't be a Bloomberg shill. Ask yourself when you see an article published by Bloomberg who they are really serving with these stories.

This comment was downvoted in about 5 seconds from when it was published. This was a comment at the bottom of a comment thread. There is no way for that to have happened other than by a bot. Bloomberg uses third party-controlled bots on HN to control the discussion. Sad.

What does this accomplish? Calling people hypocrites for "crying" about climate change just makes them deny that their lifestyle is a problem in the first place. That is strictly worse than "hypocrisy": It reduces the prominence of climate change in public discourse and moves public opinion even further away from "let's not destroy our livelihoods" to "muh jobs". In addition, someone who does take their carbon footprint into account but is a flawed human being rather than Jesus still has a lower footprint than someone who ignores it to avoid being a hypocrite.

No, nested chroots do not change anything here.

In your example, you would always need to acquire a file descriptor outside the current chroot first. Then such a file descriptor has to be passed over some mechanism into the process running in the chroot. For that, you would definitely need help from some other process running outside the chroot. Breaking out a chroot on Linux is not as trivial as you present it.
> Then buy a Linux laptop. Problem(s) solved.

I use Linux on the notebooks since around 2003. The problems are far from being solved, from my experience:

- There was constantly some piece of hardware that wasn't supported.

- There were constantly pieces of operating system and user space that were simply broken until a lot of manual work is applied.

- The brokenness increases with every update. At the start I didn't use LTS (I don't even remember if the LTS versions even existed for the distro I've used) -- it was a major pain. Six months go by, new upgrade, everything's broken. Search the internet, ask: "oh you upgrade an existing installation? It's not tested, you should installed blank and copied your data, we do that" -- oh thanks.

- The brokenness of power saving is amazingly persistent. Linux notebooks typically worked acceptable only when plugged in.

- Even worse, the brokenness of the possibility of playing the stutter free videos: https://xkcd.com/619/ I have still that problem (it was not only "flash" that was and is the problem!) and discovered that the "lighter" compositors that are advertised as supposedly needing less resources made even worse results. I still have computers that in 2019 with the latest Linuxes can't play videos normally, whereas on the same computer videos in Windows play perfectly.

In short, if you need a computer only for a very reduced set of tasks and are ready to spend the time "fixing" the remaining issues, Linux can work for you. But don't expect "problems solved."

On another side using Windows brings its own crazy pains: if you keep even the Windows provided "antivirus" solution on, even file copying can be orders of magnitude slower than what the machine would be able to do.

Plus the crapware. And the exposure to many more viruses trojans etc. Or even the ads built in in the OS.

So what's then left? Apple. Also not perfect, of course, but some problems are actually "solved" from the start. But using Apple computers brings its own issues and, of course, prices.

It's just the question which kinds of problems you want to be exposed to.

I personally can't stand not being able to reasonably easy replace a hard disk in my notebook. I don't even know what I can buy the next time.
> I'm all for high speed rail, but why is it so expensive and why does it take so long to build?

Both have the same answer: because there's a whole lot of lobbyists that don't want it built. And it's not a secret - even the first segment they're building is just a screaming indicator of how little they want this thing to come to life.

Neither the airlines nor the car manufacturers nor the petrochemical companies nor billionaires like the Kochs want the thing to happen, so they're happy to shut it down at every possible turn - just look at every propaganda piece the "Reason Foundation" keeps pumping out against the project.

France and Italy are covered in high speed rail projects that make this one seem almost trivial by comparison, but we can't do it because politicians are too happy to take a few campaign dollars and enjoy some free filet mignon medallions and expensive red wine than represent the people who elected them.
This is one part of the distinction. Work usually involves locking oneself up on a sterile, isolating work environment. This is good for the menial parts of scientific work. But there is a creative side to science. This is the seemingly lazy part where you need relax and let your mind wander. If you enjoy the problem you are trying to solve, your thoughts just naturally revolve around it even when you are not technically at work. And it is a different, probably less structured process from focussing on a certain path to a solution. And that is why it is so important.

I feel this comment is unnecessarily combative.

Setting aside security. I have owned laptops from every major brand. IBM ThinkPads, Toshibas, Lenevos, Dells, Macs and ASUS. So far, other than ASUS, I've run into more hardware issues with these laptops with fewer repair options available. They've also had bad battery lives compared to the Macs at the time.

I've bought laptops and flashed Linux on them. I've used Ubuntu since Hardy Heron. But none of the laptops worked as seamlessly and as well as my Macs. The touchpad wouldn't work. The WiFi would fail. Sometimes updates broke the machine if they worked at all. Printers weren't plug and play. A few times the system crashed because of a configuration error that was unintentional. All in all, it was a poor experience.

The difference in the experience is summed up by what happens when you open the box. A new Linux laptop would require an install, then hunting down the files, copying it over, doing updates, changing settings, changing the configuration etc etc. A new Mac is simple. I bring it home. Turn it on. It goes on my WiFi, finds my Time Machine and does the rest. I have perfect continuity from my old machine to the new. I have settings and programs here from 3 machines ago.

I like to use my computer to work rather than working on the computer.

Moreover, from a security perspective, I trust a company like Toshiba less. Mostly because the Toshiba comes with a ton of bloatware installed; https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&hl=en&ei=hsR8XZmLF... and you never know what they might install. As of writing, my Mac just doesn't.

Wow, I wonder if this is why I thought the food was so bad in San Francisco after I moved there from New Zealand. We went to a lot great restaurants, but I remember thinking that the restaurants in New Zealand was 100x better. We have an amazing cafe/restaurant scene in NZ, and I never found anything in San Francisco that could come close to a nice brunch in Auckland. (I was trying almost every place that had a good Yelp review over a period of ~2 years.) Maybe this was mostly a subconscious thing related to the mineral content of the ingredients.
You shouldn't see it like this (competition) at all.

There are enough people in the world which do not get diagnosed at all (third world, poor Americans, etc.).

Your SO makes mistakes as every doctor does.

If the time of your SO is expensive then it means there is a high demand or and high skill required. So we already don't have enough where your SO works.

Imagine your SO being able to save, help even more people.

This type of large scale medical optimization will help so many people around the world, let's hope together Google can make leaps quickly.
Interesting. I know some places require yellow fever but think that’s the only one commonly required. Seems common for South America. I think a world cruise be fun if ever rich enough so sounds like would need to get it.

Personally not a fan of vaccines for multiple reasons, but I got a feeling at some places if you just wanted only what was required they’d try to convince or guilt you into getting the others. Maybe though if knowing you are going to go on a trip where you need it, get it elsewhere... say you go vacation in Europe, probably cheap enough to self pay even without being covered by their insurance. Plus the ingredients can vary by country too. I guess the one approved for Canada and the one approved for the US are different yellow fever wise.

This is an interesting comment

>> However, many observers consider that the Iranian role has been exaggerated, taking a fairly distant supporting role at most, with the Houthis acting very much on their own agenda, rather than as an Iranian proxy. Overall, the evidence from SIPRI data, the UN panel, and other sources, appears to support the idea that, while Iranian arms supplies have not been trivial, the primary sources of arms from the Houthis has been local, from those sections of the Yemeni army that supported them, from their former pro-Saleh allies, captured weapons, and the sort of locally assembled equipment discussed above.

Thanks to earlier post for the link

The implication from tufts is that this is not rebels firing missiles made elsewhere but assembling parts from global (dual use?) supply chains - which does rather imply drone / UAv manufacturing is within reach of any state and most groupings.
It's not a mathematical or in any way strict thing. It's just a number chosen to exemplify any number. Just like "foo", "bar", "baz", "qux", etc, a sequence of numbers could be e.g. 17, 42, 4711. I grew up with it, and googling it seems that at least 4711 is a German thing.
I’m saying it’s more nuanced. Anecdotally, I spent a decade keeping weight off by exercising 10+ hours a week as a part time fitness instructor and training for runs. Even now I lose weight by exercising. But most people aren’t going to work out at the consistency and intensity that I do. It takes more discipline for me not to workout too much.

Right now I have:

- A 5-node Pi 2 cluster running k3s.io (https://github.com/rcarmo/raspi-cluster), and a separate Pi 2 I use as a Docker build box and local Docker registry.

- A Pi 4 as a "lab" desktop computer with an USB oscilloscope and FTDI cables to flash ESP8266 and Arduinos

- A Lakka.tv arcade/MAME box for the kids with a PS3 controller (no room for a proper PiCade, we just use the TV)

- A Pi 3A+ with a mic array for playing around with Google Assistant

- Another one that I carry with me as a “pocket server” to SSH into from my iPad over Bluetooth

- A Pi Zero W taped to the inside of my electricity meter trying to estimate power consumption (we have a spinning disk mechanical meter)

- Another Pi Zero W with an EnviroPi HAT that I use to demo Azure IoT solutions

- An ODROID U2 (Could be a Pi) running HomeKit and Node-Red for home automation, as well as a bastion container (all dockerized).

- A 3B hooked up to my 3D printer running OctoPi

And the list goes on. I have many older Series Bs lying around, and once used one to revive a dead synth whose MIDI keyboard still worked (I set up timidity and a sound font on it and it became the kids' piano).

I also ran a Plex server on a 3B until it became obvious that I needed to think about transcoding (but it worked fine for music).

You can do a _lot_ with Raspberry Pis.
I just hope they also beef up the 3A+ RAM at some point since 512MB RAM is too tight.
The described mechanism does not affect me, because Linux kernel or any distro does not take a binary from RAM and installs it into the rootfs.

I don't claim that Linux could not be made to execute arbitray code injected by the BIOS. So far I am somewhat optimistic that no HW vendor does it, it's a bit more tricky because different from Windows Linux does not offer a specified API to do such installation. With enough dedication and effort the BIOS could install programs to be run every boot also in Linux. I have no illusions that Linux prevents that (unless you use image signing, dm_verity and whatnot), I am just somewhat optimistic PC vendors don't bother to make the effort required.
For what it's worth, the professional equipment marketed under the "Think" brand was not affected by this

That doesn't make it OK.
Thankfully VSCode behaves like how you describe Emacs too.
Could be a shared hosting platform behind the CDN where the user doesn't have the ability to ip-acl but does have https. Common among low-end users and in the particular case of a "hidden" site, easily purchased cheap VPSes which are de facto anonymous.

I haven't bought them either, but I do think there's a market.

There are some people who are in technical departments that are not necessarily software developers but due to their responsibilities have a need to understand some technical concepts. I know we have at least one in our department. For him to spend $12 on something that will help him understand what we do better would certainly be money well spent.

>I like to use my computer to work rather than working on the computer.

This is why I’m willing to pay whatever Apple asks. As far as I can tell, they have done the most to earn my trust that they might not try to shove malware or ads on me. They have had a few missteps in the past, but all the other companies are so much worse.

Plus their customer service has been leagues better than everyone else...which isn’t hard since no one else has any stores I can go and get my problem fixed at.
OK, I give you that you got some points.

No, I think his point is that you need to provide a good amount of info to get an EV certificate, but then almost none of that info is included in the certificate. Combine that with the fact that what little relevant info about the certificate is buried in a relatively hard to find (for the average user) section of their browser, and it's no wonder that EV certificates have gone from "expensive novelty that nobody notices" to "effectively pointless"

First of all, helmets dramatically reduce risk of injury[1]. Why do American football players wear them if they aren't protective?

Second, much of the bike riding done in the US is on roads shared with cars, and most of our accidents involve cars. We likely have more accidents per mile here than any place with dedicated bike infrastructure.

No need for the Python foundation to do it. It could be a commercial offering. It still might be... even just offering security maintenance for Python 2.7.

Isn't it better to fix those many well-known ways to escape chroot?
We’re living in an era of digital feudalism. Here’s how to take your data back
Many comments in this thread are bashing the article for saying that chroot is useless or shouldn't be used. However the article itself takes a more nuanced approach.

From the conclusion:

>It is not hard to consider the chroot() system call a security feature. In theory, it sounds great, but if you really take the time to understand what is going on, it is not really a security feature, it is closer to what we would call a hardening feature. It might slow down an attacker, but in most situations it is not going to stop them. We are dealing with a situation where calling this a security feature is likely more damaging than not because it creates a false sense of security. It is human nature to let our guard down if we believe we are safe. Using chroot is no safer than not using a chroot. You would be far better off investing your resources into a custom SELinux policy and ensuring your system is properly hardened. Good security has no shortcuts.

I think the point is that you shouldn't consider chroot the only or best option for securing your system. It's just one tool in the toolbox and needs to be understood properly and not trusted blindly as the solution for all security vulnerabilities.
