Drupal has worked for me for many years, the modules are usually all free to use and to modify... There are very specific ways of doing things to ensure updates can happen without flaws, it has quite a learning curve, but the security benefits outweigh all of that.

Drupal's abstraction layer is what keeps it secure. You also can restrict permissions granularity, and it's core functionality does most of what you need to create a simple site.

Administration menus don't change with themes chosen (unless you specify it to). If you have a high traffic site, you can simply use cloud flare, or system caching, or pay for higher tier services like Akamai.

I'm not an evangelist for Drupal though, it's not meant to fit every case, so I'll just leave it at that.

Ask HN: Is Thinkpad X1 Carbon an Alternative to MacBook Pro?

I've had months where I used over 100 gigs on Salt's unlimited plan. I also have a co-worker who does the same with their Sunrise subscription, all without a problem.

Within Switzerland all major carriers (Swisscom, Sunrise & Salt) have no data cap on their unlimited subscriptions.

On their Unlimited Europe subscriptions both Swisscom & Sunrise are capped at 40gb/month (while still being advertised as "unlimited"). Only Salt is truely unlimited there.
I agree that computing confined to a rectangle is limiting and stifling. The long-term solution in my mind is everyone having an AR headset. I would love to be able to project code and objects all over the room and be able to code any place anywhere. The technology clearly isn’t there yet though, so I understand dynamicland’s paper and projector model.

My very very long-term dream about computing is something like nexus in the Nexus Trilogy[1]. Written by an ex-Microsoft dev, it’s a really great hard sci-fi cyberpunk take on the future of computing. Highly recommended!

tl; dr:

- Neurological studies show actual damage to the same region of the brain for these diplomats

- Pesticides (organophosphates) are put out as a candidate theory.

- Research shows people whose residences were sprayed MORE with pesticide had greater symptoms, adding strong evidence

- Mass Hysteria is dismissed as a theory, as the group of people experiencing it is highly vetted and because the diagnosis is only applicable when no underlying cause is present. In this case, the actual measurement of the brain show there is damage, ruling out the theory.
Where I live UPS trucks have been plug-in hybrid for years now. They are powered entirely by battery when driving slowly through neighborhoods. So I'm not sure how much difference this would _really_ make.
Seriously, this is dumb. NYC alone gets 60M visitors.

NYPD has a well integrated and pervasive intelligence system. I’m sure Atlanta is no slouch, but the money spent by NYC just dwarfs anyone who isn’t the Feds.
That's why there is such a thing as 'leading edge tape', 'prop tape' and more. This is not a mistake but a simple fact of life for anything that rapidly slices through the air, the point of first contact is where any contamination in the air will hit your prop/wing/blade.
A lot of judgement on a semantic that is generally accepted to be the exact opposite of what you are declaring.
First given the context of the root of the word "cide", patricide, regicide, matricide, a majority of people still believe that the word predicates physical/biological harm in the form of death. If you want to expand the definition, fine but it isn't truth or the majority. If anything you should find a better word.

Quite impressive hardware. The fact that 5G is integrated in the SoC is a first, display looks great too.

Yes that's probably it. As a techie I'd probably even be fine with buying a bluray and ripping it but I don't even know if their copy protection has been defeated for good or whether it's a cat and mouse game like with modern console piracy. So I watched exactly one movie at home this year on a laptop with a friends Netflix account. A DRM free download service would have made that maybe two or three.
Wow, 100k is no small change. Hoping this accelerates the "tipping point" for electric vehicles - in my mind that's when the infrastructure for EVs (e.g. charging stations, or something in the future like battery swaps) actually makes it easier to own than a gas vehicle.
Because dirty diesel has no ill effects?
Carbon footprint is one thing to be critical about, but a bigger advantage with electric vehicles is removing point source pollution and moving the ghg production to powerplants. Powerplants are usually farther away from people (not idling under their windows) and often have more stringent emission standards than vehicles. There's also the opportunity to make electric vehicles with renewable energy barring the petroleum products that compose the vehicle itself.
That's kind of a weird attitude. You get on your high horse about a country which you claim is more ruled by it's people.. yet you eagerly consume the content which is produced by a country apparently ruled by it's corporations?

Maybe you should consider that the reason the US is able to produce so much of everything- whether it be tv/movies/social media/technologies such as apple/android/windows is, well, because it is a little bit controlled by the corporations? Yet because it's basically all digital, you are able to sit in your bubble and condemn the US while reaping all the benefits.

I don't disagree that the US has a lot of problems, and I would love for this country to move WAY more toward socialist politics that actually HELP everyone. So go ahead and condemn the US, but the whole world is way better off technologically at the expense of our fairly extreme capitalistic system. If nothing was digital and everything was physical, and we had extreme advances only physically because of a country ruled more by corporations than people, somehow I think you would have a different attitude. I think people would be lining up to get into the country, even though there would be a lot of downsides. But because this is all digital, you can just take it all and then laugh at how backwards things are.

I don't know, just take a moment to look at what you use on a day-to-day basis and think if you used nothing but what was produced in your country how your life would be different. I'm not sitting here saying the US has done everything- so please don't take it like that. But since we are talking about media and technology, and you even saying you can't legally subscribe to HBO etc.. well, HBO is a US company and everything produced here. Why should you be able to access it? Do you sit there and say "this is so unfair US didn't setup a Disney World here!". Yet, because it's digital you are automatically entitled to it apparently.

I know I went a bit extreme, and I'm playing more devils advocate here. I just think the US is looked at very unfairly these days because you can use everything we do but you get the benefits of a more socialist culture.
This should not be underestimated. The ISP cannot be trusted and DNS poisoning is easily done through their box.
If this is true, is it Coalfire's fault for not verifying and are the two testers SOL with the burglary charge?

Then is it also the fault of the two testers in this case that they too did not verify that all the correct stakeholders were brought in?

It would suck to be in the position of the testers having little or no recourse.
>To be clear, fossil fuels are already insufficient to power a modern day economy without trillions of artificial subsidies.

The subsidies are part of the economy too, so clearly fossil fuels are capable to power a modern day economy. Else the economy would have gone down (due to the subsidies cost).

The problem with solar/wind is that even with the same or larger subsidies we haven't yet solved many problems for powering a modern economy with them. Even if we had a huge budget to do so with just the proviso that no fossil/nuclear is used.

And that doesn't even include the problem of replacing the fossil fuel based infrastructure itself. We don't even have enough electric battery making capacity for double the insignificant amount of electric cars sold now for example, much less for replacing every gas based car with an electric equivalent...

> What a typical back-ender would wip up in a couple of days using ES/Solr you now need a proper Math Dev to do and for the MD's model to become useful you need them to hand it over to a distributed systems expert.

This in itself is a good enough reason to be a sufficient argument to refute your main claim that FTS is dead. It will not be dead until an alternative is sufficiently commoditized so that regular backenders can set it up. It may be edged out of certain use cases where it is mission critical to get fantastic results, but there are MANY places of use where good old boring FTS is plenty good enough. Otherwise it wouldn't have been used in the first place.
Considering Amazon history I would not be surprised that this leads to "Amazon Delivery" which does exactly what you think. "Amazon Delivery" would slowly be responsible for an increasing portion of "Amazon Retail" parcels then generate money by opening to a wider audience.
This should not be downvoted, dx87 is correct. "Genocide" means "the killing of a people", where that group can be ethnic, religious, national, or something else. Mass murder is one way to achieve genocide, but it is not the only way: exterminating a group identity through detention, mass sterilization, forced re-education, etc. are all also genocide.
TL;DR: the DMCA takedown provisions apply only to third-party service providers identified as a Designated Agent, and can be avoided by self-provisioning online services. Or finding a provider with balls.

The specific mechanism of the DMCA is that:

1. It is a protection afforded online service providers, specifically, against infringement liability. (17 USC 512(c))

2. Against copyright infringement (17 USC 512(c)(1)).

3. For third-party content (17 USC 512(c)(1)).

4. Of which the provider does not have specific knowledge that the content is infringing (17 USC 512(c)(1)(A)(i)). (More on this below.) And does not directly benefit monetarily (17 USC 512(c)(2), and acts to disable access expediciously (17 USC 512(c)(3)).

5. Where the provider has a designated agent. (17 USC 512(c)(2)

6. A valid notification request is received, (17 USC 512(c)(3)

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512

A consequence of all of this is that a self-serving online service provider does does not qualify for the relief as the content is not third-party. By designating itself as the Designated Party, it can choose to receive DMCA requests directly, and assume the risks of infringment claims itself.

There is nothing in the DMCA that says a service provider must act on a claim. Only that the liability protections offered apply only if it does. Linode, here, absolutely could have taken the principled stance that the content was not infringing, and refused to act on the notice it had received. Yes, this would incur a liability, but the overall legal risks of a patently false and malicious claim would be slight. I believe there are cases of this occurring.

NB: A longstanding criticism of the DMCA 512 provisions was that there was no liability for misrepresentations. That's now addressed in 17 USC 512(f), though I don't recall when this was added:

Misrepresentations.—Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section— (1)that material or activity is infringing, or (2)that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification,
shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

Mail & Guardian would seem to have some remedy here, if they can successfully bring suit and collect judgement.

It's also possible that M&G could bring suit against Linode under 17 USC 512(g)(1) ("good faith" actions), though that's weakened by subsequent paragraphs. Informed legal opinion would be helpful here.

I saw a "best cities for public transit" list recently that had Reno, NV up near the top. Which was obviously baffling, and sent me to find out why. I eventually found that one of the major factors was "miles of transit line per capita and another was something like "annual mileage per transit vehicle" (possibly per-capita?).

The goal was to evaluate density of coverage and frequency of arrivals. But that completely neglected population density, so it ended up rewarding cities for urban sprawl.

This feels like the same type of mistake, where per-capita count neglects both population density and total coverage. There's a massive difference between every shop having its own camera (even if police access them) and something like London's Ring of Steel, where the camera layout and even streets have been designed to maximize coverage and identification rate in the most populous areas.
One thing that does bother me about the Bechdel test is that it is represented as "passing is good enough". The Bechdel test intentionally sets a laughably low bar. Just because a piece of media passes, doesn't automatically mean that it is good representation for women, just that it is not so horrendously obviously unbalanced.
Not requiring a company pay, in some form, the cost of their externality costs is an active policy decision. It's perhaps not a frequent point of policy discussion, but it's still a decision - particularly when we know the cost of climate crisis mitigation is so high.

> Advanced economies have grown their GDPs, but have also reduced their emissions since about 1990.

Isn't there an element of offloading their emissions to the 'less advanced' economies who make all of the new energy efficient nuggets?

It's the basis of the concept of "brand awareness", on which many billions of dollars are spent every year.

I'll give you a single data point as an example, and I'm sure you'll be able to relate. There's a certain on-line currency exchange operating in Poland that has a tendency to run really cringy, annoying ads in cinemas, and those ads somehow get played 3 or 4 times in a row in the span of 5 minutes. After sitting through them a couple times I got really, really sick of them, and had pretty negative feelings associated with the brand. Fast-forward three years, I have my own business now and foreign customers, so I find myself needing an on-line currency exchange. Guess which service I checked out first?
Good point. I guess both are reasons people are blocked, and the age of content is one that does apply to OP's point.

But now that I've thought upon it, I do wonder how people feel about the age of viewer issue, especially since people can easily lie about their age or otherwise pirate the content.
I have a pretty dumb TV with no apps or internet features, but I'll admit that the one "smart-ish" feature I do kind of appreciate is support for CEC controls over HDMI.

It makes it a bit more convenient to switch between my Roku/Switch/PC when I can push a button on the remote to have the devices ping the TV themselves.

I do prefer a dumb TV, but it doesn't have to be completely brainless.
You have to wonder how many beloved chick flicks pass this test and what that says about its capability to disentangle some form of bias against female characters from the types of stories people generally like to watch. No doubt most straight romance movies will fail this test, but lesbian romance movies will pass easily. This probably isn't a coincidence given that Bechdel is a lesbian.

> Then you add power-to-gas facilities that produce Methane from electricity and use the existing infrastructure for strategic NG reserves to store it. For long periods of low production (e.g. winter) you turn the gas back into electricity.

The efficiency of this process is like 35%. (power to gas to power with methane).

If you're making a bunch of methane anyways, it might be OK to fill in a little with this, but this does not sound like a great overall strategy.

Why not just throw in a little nuclear for base load, and then everything looks a lot better/easier?

I said autopilot is useful for people with disabilities and also added Tesla hasn't added any feature for disability assist. I didn't imply disabled should go buy a Tesla.

Diability can be of various nature, affecting accessbility in various manner. Iam myself disabled, Tesla is not available in my country; I hope to drive one when available and so I keep track of experience of disabled people with Tesla.

That said you can find numerous videos of disabled people testifying Tesla autopilot is easier to use[1].

The DMCA takedown provisions don't introduce liability for actions, they remove it, under a specific set of circumstances, given specific responses to infringement claims.

You don't "violate the DMCA takedown law" by failing to take down content. You simply lose protections offered by it.

The federal law in question that might be violated would be exclusive rights under copyright, 17 USC 106

For these there are both civil and (in certain cases) criminal remedies possible.

I think this argument is more true for personal vehicles that sit idle for 99% of the time -- they don't consume gas when they don't move.

For commercial vehicle that spend most of their life on the road, energy savings from running a more efficient vehicle recoup the energy used in making that vehicle pretty quickly.

If the county is correct, the Information Security Officer for the Iowa state department payed someone to break into someone else's property. Why isn't there an arrest warrant out for them? If I payed someone to break into a 7/11, I strongly suspect I would get a visit from the police.

Yes, the two employees could be liable for accepting a request from someone who obviously didn't have the authority to give it. But they wouldn't be the only people liable, and it seems silly to claim that they would be the first people liable.

Why is it that the only two people arrested are those who had the least amount of responsibility and ability to check on the authority of the State department?

> imply that it's broader than that

Are you sure you're not just projecting your own impressions onto the article? Where do you see that being implied? The GIF literally asks if you were in a car crash. I'm curious where you and the GP get the impression this feature extends to physical assaults.

> our technology can detect possible crashes or if a trip goes unusually off course.

> When a RideCheck is initiated, both a rider and driver will receive a notification asking if everything is OK. They can let us know through the app that all is well, or take other actions like using the emergency button or reporting the issue to Uber’s Safety Line. Our safety team may also follow up by phone to inquire about the RideCheck. In the event of a crash, we can also help expedite the insurance claims process.

To me this reads like a feature to deal with scenarios involving injury due to car accidents. The only thing that remotely sounds related to assaults is the presence of a 911 link, but that's something you also want to have in case of a medical emergency; it's not exclusive to only scenarios when you're explicitly being attacked by someone.
> The question here is not whether they were contracted to do the pen test, I think everyone agrees they were. The question is whether those who contracted them had the authority to authorize it.

No, the question is whether the prosecutor believes beyond a shadow of a doubt that the accused had the requisite intent to be committing burglary. If not, the they have an ethical obligation to drop the prosecution.
