>You'll never hear about this in the news of course.

Why I heard that very sentiment this morning on the news.
Very interesting, I was thinking something like that might be the case. Thank you.
So... this is basically fragrouter? [1]

If so, this is a very old idea (I, uh, co-invented it?). A lot of DPI gear isn't built for serious security, but rather best effort, and I'm sure basic TCP tricks like this will bypass those. But you should be aware that serious, modern middleboxes were very definitely built with knowledge of fragrouter-type tricks (and of evasion more generally), and you're better off using a VPN than relying on stuff like this if your evasion actually matters from an opsec perspective.

>Prior to this work, the strongest evidence for a link between testosterone exposure and reduced cognitive empathy came in 2011 in a study that found administering testosterone to healthy women reduced their performance on a test of reading emotions. The results suggested the testosterone impaired their performance.

That's interesting. Adult males typically have 7-8 times the levels that females do, and females are more sensitive to it. I'd hypothesize that injecting females with extra testosterone was just plain mentally disorienting. I know a trans man who, after a few months of testosterone, claimed it was "night and day" in how they felt about and processed the world. Female biology isn't adapted to high levels of testosterone like a males biology is.
Hang on though, you can be not an overnight success and still an overnight millionaire (even ignoring the pedantic 'at some point you tick into the 7th figure') - you can certainly spend years living off beans on toast while you work hard at building something that you then suddenly sell (at least a piece of) for >1M. The success took years, but the money came quickly.
RPI 2s have a BMC (binary-only) driver for entropy generation.

They do both diminish your income, but only if you insist on doing things society doesn't want you to do. Driving is optional, smoking is optional, drinking is optional. You can opt out by changing your lifestyle to be healthier and more sustainable -- in which case you'd not pay that tax in either country. Income tax isn't optional.
> But I have no idea how society decides salaries.

I think your confusion stems from the fact that society does not decide salaries. In the private sector, salaries are based on how much one's involvement in some endeavor causes that endeavor to generate more revenue (or how much you can convince someone your involvement generates more revenue), combined with how easy it would be to find someone willing to do the same job with the same impact at a lower rate. If the value add is high and there is no one able or willing to do what you do for cheaper, you will have a high salary. If you add little value, and no one is willing to do what you do, you will be fired and likely not replaced -- they'll do without. If you add lots of value, but someone else is willing to do your job for less, you will be kept around if you accept a lower salary. If you add little value and someone else is willing to do your work, they will be hired for a lower salary. This isn't rocket science.
> Why is a trigger any more surprising than any callback style interface?

A procedure call is explicit, a trigger is implicit. You don't call a trigger, it just happens as a side effect of something else. People tend to forget implicit things. Suddenly you notice that something is acting strangely or slowly in your application. You can look at your functions and procedures and try to find the problem. But if your application is full of triggers, how do you know what is going on? A trigger can change a dozen rows, which in turn can change other rows, so changing a single row can trigger thousands or millions of triggers. Also, triggers are not fired in a particular order, the database is free to change the query plan according to what it thinks is best at the moment, so triggers are not deterministic. Triggers can sometimes work and sometimes not.

In summary, triggers are implicit, have side effects and are not deterministic. They are confusing and surprising. Almost everything that can be done with a trigger can be done with a procedure, but explicitly, deterministically and in most cases even without side effects.
Ask HN: Hired to do one thing and one thing only around tech?
For years I would ask myself; has anyone got hired to work on one thing and one thing only, around technology?

Especially now with web development that expects you to know a dozen of technologies...is it even possible?

If yes, can someone hire me please? :D

I am quite good at working on one thing at a time.
all but one of those have wheels that would shed the same microplastics.

> It's an adjective: the level of technology of an item. This e-bike has improved technology compared to last year's model.

'Technology' is used as a noun in both of those sentences.
I'm sure it wasn't the the intent - but the company logos feel dishonest and suggests that they or at least a number at those companies uss your site for their OKRs... which I know is not the case.
My wife's about to hit a wall on pay increases at right at $40k if she doesn't get a master's degree. Never get another real raise, just sub-inflation bumps every year. With quite a damn while left until retirement.

Mind, the master's degrees most teachers get aren't exactly hard—there's a giant market for easy-as-pie degrees for teachers for exactly this reason, and that's what most universities deliver and what most teachers go for since it's not like you get paid more if you do study in a real program—but you still have to pay for it, and it's not cheap on a teacher's salary.
> And that 4 years computer science education is both expensive and difficult?

Exactly. As a point in favor of this worldview, I'll use my mother. She completed her economics and English degree in India (undergrad). She also completed her liberal studies undergrad and a graduate teaching credential again in the United States (they would not accept her foreign undergrad, so she had to repeat). She said that the teaching education was mostly a joke and her classmates absolute dunces. This was at a public university -- cal state fullerton, to be specific.

Ultimately, teaching education, even graduate education, is not difficult and mostly a joke, which is what is reflected in their salaries.
> People supported the anti-straw movement because it has zero impact on their life.

My impression was the exact opposite. A plastic straw ban is invasive and annoying, which makes it a good way to prove commitment to the environmental movement.

I just want to enjoy an occasional unplanned fountain drink without having to use a straw that dissolves in my mouth. I never litter, and would happily cut out some other use of plastic from my life to compensate.

> So, maybe it's plastic straws today, but tomorrow a politician will have a real shot with a platform against waste wrt TFA.

Plastic straw bans are not a prerequisite for fishing reforms. Regulating the commercial fishing industry to fix this problem will be difficult to coordinate internationally, but the end result is not going to have a noticeable effect on most people's lives.

Those sort of reforms are the easiest policy wins and the most impactful, so the focus should be on campaigning for them directly.
> That is why they don't need a second job. Because they have a support network.

If an alien visitor to Earth was looking at this sorry situation, they could make some interesting assumptions about the priorities of this society and culture, as a whole, with regards to education.
Just like how we know that pushups work, we know that eating moderate amounts of whole foods works. But arguments don't start over that so our attentions shift to the zany opinionated bullshit.

Kind of like how it's more fun to argue about min/max exercise equipment and routines than actually do the damn exercise.
> Or it's paid propaganda by whoever

I was curious about the site's owner (American Enterprise Institute) and looked them up on Wikipedia to give me context for reading the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Enterprise_Institute

Half my family are teachers, at least. They spent a huge amount of time outside of a "standard" 40-hour work week preparing lessons, grading, etc. It's a tough profession if you don't love it.
10/ It's not just vultures at stake: the collection, transportation and disposal of dead animals is costly and polluting.

Maybe Tibetan Buddhists, who feed their dead to vultures as a form of burial, are on to something.

It's not fair to hurt people just because you think others have been hurt. You're just furthering the abuse. Many white people have been denied housing, education, and jobs because of their skin. You can't solve ignorance with more ignorance. You're literally talking about ruining peoples' lives because of your racism.
Teaching doesn't require patience or ability?

And where I went to college the 4 year CS degree was the same price as a 4 year education degree (aside from books/misc expenses). They both required the same number of credits, and class costs were largely normalized (with a few exceptions). Plus then teachers have to take the licensing exams and pay for your own background check/license.

If people really believe teachers have it made I strongly encourage them to give it a shot. We could always use more teachers. Plus then it might give a perspective on what it is like being a teacher (workload, hours, pay, conditions, stress, etc) and why the turnover rate is so high.
This shouldn't be overlooked either:

"son of Lebanese American parents whose families were both in the juice business. His father’s family supplied ingredients, his mother’s sold consumer juice brands, and they met at the funeral of an industry executive. His father worked in the family juice business, too, and Rahal shaped himself after his father’s work ethic"

Upbringing and a significant degree of business and industry "in" couldn't have hurt. Nobody exists in a vacuum and I'm not saying this to take away from individual merit, but it often takes more than just hard work and talent to succeed like that.
Definitely. In order for WW style tablets, I think the biggest hurdles would be material science.

It's also sci-fi and the rule of cool. If someone wanted to parody WW, then a fun scene would be the tech support at HQ. Imagine seeing main characters treating them as disposable and regularly having to pick up new ones.

*for what its worth, deactivation and deletion are mostly semantics if the point is to send a message to a company that their mismanagement erodes trust with users. "churn" is a metric that very much matters to executives and "deactivation" impacts that.
I understand your sentiment, but this plot twist was much less clever than the 500 mile email issue. My immediate thought was this was due to geography (natural or man-made) or laws/regulations that protect their habitat or food sources.
Right, but what's the constitutional basis for those laws, regulations, and executive orders?
My partner is a teacher. She does indeed work 40 hours per week on average, has extensive time off for holidays, has the full summer off (she doesn't work at all during it), has a pension that when she retires will easily fund her lifestyle and more, and is paid the median household income for the city. It's not an easy job, but it could be a lot worse. She was also given a signing bonus and scholarship that together meant she graduated with $0 of student loan debt.
Yeah, typically the details of high-quality manufacturing processes are considered trade secrets and so there aren't videos of them.

I use ceramics around the house all the time, but I was trying to limit my comments to storage and transportation.

Of course I have a friend who found some ceramic food storage containers with lids. They're lighter than glasslock but I already have more than I use, and they have better seals.
I love stories like this one. It gives me sooo much motivation to dig deeper into CS (I'm in college, studying CS while working as a developer).

Often I feel CS isolates me from the world around me which stops me from digging deeper in CS. But articles like this reinforce the thought that this might just be a question of the right environment.

It has always been a childhood dream of mine to work on (or in) space. I won't make it to NASA (they only take Americans) unfortunately. But hopefully I'll make it to ESA or one of the other private companies that are going to exist in the EU in the future.

Thanks for posting this <3

20H1 of Windows 10 is essentially a different operating system than Windows 10X. My understanding is that the 20H1 focus is around standardizing what's running on Azure with what's running on desktops.
Probably more poignantly, it's not usable for open source projects that want to distribute their stuff under a license that's more permissive than the AGPL.

Which I'm guessing is intentional.
Interestingly, this is something that pirates (yes, maritime pirates) actually figured out several hundred years ago. They had the problem of trying to run fairly large organizations in a particularly extralegal environment. (It's hard to sue your manager for not paying you when the legal system would frankly rather see all of you hanged.)

For pirates, the solution was multifaceted, but the most critical components were:
* Profit sharing - The riches captured by a pirate vessel were split amongst the pirates in a remarkably egalitarian model.
* Democracy - The Captain and Quartermaster of a pirate ship were elected democratically by the crew.

The result was pirate ships were able to outfox the established navies of the time and manage ships with crews upwards of 100 all without the support of established judicial systems.

>[...] for instance retreating to game preserves on the first day of the hunting season [...]

I doubt that animals can tie obesrable phenomna (eg. lunar cycles or solar azimuth) to a human calendar date with day level accuracy, because of how small the differences between each day is and how arbitrary the human calendar can be. It's much more likely it's due to human activity such as increased traffic noises/gun shots on the start of the hunting season.
In order:

Public land will be permanently dedicated to rails and stations and things, if you want to cover the same area with transit access, you'll need similar, if not the same public land.

Parking minimums are not about being pro-car so much as being about anti-poor. This is a subsidy to entrenched interests, not to cars.

Police make money from traffic enforcement. Many departments get their whole budget from that. Many towns get their whole budget, above and beyond the PD, from it. Eliminate cars tomorrow and you bankrupt a huge percentage of non-major cities and all small towns.

Wars of aggression over oil are likely over due to fracking and oil sands, but I'll grant that they were bad while they were happening. Now, how are your predominantly diesel trains going to be powered without oil?

Oil subsidies are a problem. I would love to see congestion pricing and an end to all subsidies for transit, trains, buses, cars, bikes and pedestrian behaviors. We do not and never will again live in that world.

Deaths due to automobiles are at a record low per passenger mile and continuing to fall. Every time we make roads and cars and esp new cars more expensive, these rise as people limp their dangerous old clunker along a bit more. Weirdly, the requirements for safety technology cause people to drive older, less fuel efficient cars and the requirements for better emissions cause people to drive older, less safe cars all due to rising prices. Perhaps we should subsidize the removal of old cars (cash for clunkers)?

I don't think you can blame sedentary lifestyles on driving. That's a step too far -- it's a factor, but it's by no means the biggest or the most consistent. I doubt that we'd be able to attribute anywhere near enough health problem to only and specifically long commutes to even really price this externality.

Thanks, that's interesting to hear. I need to think about how to make hard mode more discoverable.

I do think you can actually get good at zen mode as well, but it takes a bit of practice. Having played a lot, I can usually set up the trickshot I intended and get it most of the way there - and when it doesn't, it's usually quite funny anyway. It's definitely a steeper learning curve than DG.

I'm definitely coming round to the idea of a ghost arrow in hard mode. Your idea about a shot and a putt is also very good - perhaps that could even be the default mode..

Great feedback!
According to the series of tweets under discussion:

Of course it can. One of the best machines for making coffee is the Technivorm Moccamaster (the thermo pot version). It's been in the market for decades, lasts for decades, it's easy to clean and together with a good grinder and fresh good beans, it produces a perfect mug of coffee every morning.
I would much prefer it if manufacturers created a multi-screen setup with screens next to each other. I can imagine some form of folding or attachment mechanism that converts a single screen laptop to dual or triple screen. Since going "laptop only" many years ago the thing I miss the most is the multi-monitor setup that I used to have and would love it if I was eventually able to recreate this with my laptop.

The idea of a second screen above the keyboard does not appeal to me. I have a Macbook Pro with a touch bar and in general I dislike it (even though I have written a custom dock for it, which allows me to reclaim some main screen real estate from the macOS Dock). I understand that this new MSFT screen is bigger and potentially more useful, but the problem of having to look down on the second screen above the keyboard would still be there.

(I am aware of macOS Sidecar.)
You can always use a hypervisor, a driver OS that re-uses Windows/Linux drivers, and the new OS in a VM using virtual drivers. That's what some L4-based setups, including commercial OKL4, did. They also let you write native drivers directly on the microkernel or in OS VM's for situations where effort was justified. I'm surprised more haven't done this.

Rump kernels are the closest trend.

$38 billion a year in sales taxes from new and used automobiles and services.

$66 billion a year in use taxes including fuel, excise, and registration.

That’s just the direct revenue. If you want to include externalities, you also have to include economic activity enabled by these investments, and the taxes on those activities.

Just the auto sector alone produces $60 billion of income tax revenue for state and Federal governments.

But that’s not even scratching the surface of total economic activity supported by the national highway infrastructure, or state and local infrastructure, which arguably holds up double digits percentages of GDP. State income taxes rise and fall based on their infrastructure investments.

Even the Big Dig (at $14 billion in cost I assume due to massive fraud) eventually not only pays for itself but is massively profitable from a combination of vehicle cost savings and in future revenue streams from increased economic activity enabled by the new infrastructure and added prime real estate. [1]

A lot of people die or are injured on the highways. Did you also attempt to measure the lives bettered and saved because of those same highways?

An informed discussion balances positives and negatives of any activity, along with the positives and negatives of a proposed substitute.

There’s a reason why infrastructure spending is one of the very few things which garners almost universal support from all political parties.

i think cliff bars have way more ingredients (not necessarily bad ones) and more sugar.

i think rxbar appeals to the "food as fuel" crowd. there is a continuum there from those who don't want to think about healthy stuff, just get quality calories in (think soylent and/or more healthier home stuff, "rations" types who cook 15 meals at once, etc.) to those who want to signal that they are willing to eat gross stuff to look good or hit fitness goals, and lots in between.

cliff bars i think are more acceptable taste but don't really have a niche - too much sugar to eat if you want low % body fat, too many carbs generally, but decent to throw in a bag if you don't want to eat some uber-processed alternative like whatever cereal bars normally have
