Citation for knowing it isn't true for ionizing radiation? LNT is supported by the US NRC, the EPA, and UNSCEAR. Not saying that it supports the papers on EM radiation, but it's definitely not crazy to assume LNT in your research (and given we don't know much about the effects of low radiation doses, it's definitely the more precautionary option).

> Unless you're going out of your way to run your browser in a container or dedicated VM on Linux, there are substantial risks associated with browsing the web in terms of exposing all of your information in /home, which might include ssh and pgp private keys, basically everything your user can access.

You're saying that there's this particular substantial risk in this particular OS, in this particular scenario. When I ask for any details that can back it up, you reply "All it takes is a browser exploit".

I would hope it would be self-evident that that is no reason to think that the particular risk you mentioned is real, or at least any more real than it is for any other OS, for any other app, or in any other circumstance.

My only interest in the comment was determining if the particular risk is real, but now it seems it was just FUD.

WeWork had so many excesses, like paying 100% commission to real estate agents. Softbank can cut out such nonsense, not just the tequila and private jets.

Softbank also has full access to the company’s financials and will be in a position to restructure. It’s safe to say they are a lot better informed than we are.

You may not use Amazon Lightsail in a manner intended to avoid incurring data fees from other Services (e.g., proxying network traffic from Services to the public Internet or other destinations or excessive data processing through load balancing Services as described in the Documentation), and if you do, we may throttle or suspend your data services or suspend your account.

Assuming your parent meant "not a small minority". I don't have numbers in front of me, but having lived in and near Vancouver most of my life, I wouldn't be surprised if close to that percentage had Chinese origins. Regardless, it's enough people that it's certainly worth candidates' time to consider them.
I'm pretty sure that my cat has absolutely no need (nor even desire) for a digital web presence. The only use it has for a computer is as an object that is warmer than the floor.
Change control and service delivery time-frames are two different things. When I left BOA in 2017, you could get most production changes implemented with only two days of lead time from a formal change control perspective. But, requesting a new Virtual IP on a load-balancer could easily take two weeks, just for every layer of bureaucracy to wet its beak. And it was impossible to request something so basic without an online service request, and then follow-up emails because the standard service offerings left all kinds of details undetermined and no structured way to provide the information.
My God, me, too! I swear to God, I thought I was just confused or something, 'when did I open this?' - and it had only seemed to happen past the upgrade - this is certainly bizarre, if not just a strange coincidence.
Replication is not usually a role for the peer review process, hence the "replication crisis" of the past decade.
One argument might be that /pol/ might arguably be able to radicalise one or two people a year into a mass shooting, but that's not as bad as a worldwide technological panopticon. (It's not really a dichotomy, of course.)
My take is that next step is to bring virtual back to reality again. We should have new media (social networks) associated with old media to do this, similar to the transition that music did but for news and virtual communities.
I'm not intending to complain, just presenting a viewpoint that minimum requirements are okay when it comes to regulation of shared resources, like the road. I don't believe that the requirements should be lowered beyond a reasonable level to cater to the incapable. I'd prefer a society which invested more in training and education as a form of harm prevention than implementing rules which reduce harm at the expense of the trained individual.

Specifically related to driving: I believe that the licensing requirements should be slightly higher and that more should be done to guard against bad driving and not just illegal driving. E.g. I've never seen anyone get a ticket for getting on the highway going a third of the speed of traffic, but that's certainly dangerous. Instead, people get tickets for exceeding a limit set by the capabilities of the lowest common denominator by a small percentage regardless of conditions (often not particularly dangerous - not an excuse for reckless driving, of course).

I simply think that there are better solutions. For one, public transportation.
But do you have to drive at the posted limit? Even if the yellow time was 4 seconds, 55 mph (90 kmh) gives you almost no margin of error.
Windows is the wild west. There seems to be no underlying design philosophy tying together the UI elements and interactions of applications built on top of it. Funny because Microsoft actually has huge teams of UX researchers. What are they all doing?
Softbank's model won't be proven for decades. It invests in brands that they believe will dominant their industry and still be around in 50 years time.

And as Gitlab and others have found many people simply don't like working at home and want to be around other people. And also need infrastructure like meeting rooms on the odd occasion. WeWork provides that in almost every city. And 500,000+ people today currently see it as a useful service.
That is precisely what is wrong with the assumption. Diversity is not just skin color as Americans think. I have people of color as neighbors who I share more cultural traits with that neighbors who are white (I am white) My wife is of Asian decent but I have more in common with her than with many other white Western Europeans.

Diversity is also language, culture, language, identity etc.
Grafana and BigQuery: Together at Last
I can see why Netflix would try to block it, but I haven't run into any issues with it myself (OpenIKEd on OpenBSD on a $3.50/mo Vultr server as detailed here: https://www.snazz.xyz/how-to/2019/09/13/vpn.html). A lot of websites seem aggressive towards Tor users, but my VPS IP address was treated the same as my home, work, and LTE addresses. Are there any other documented cases I should be aware of?
What was your query ?
Sure, if you don't use location on your phone, and have a need to always know exactly how to describe where you are, you might not get as much a benefit from using Uber vs a taxi... but most people use their phone location and often don't know how to direct someone to where they are.

I always find these sorts of threads interesting, because it is often someone arguing against some popular service by describing how they do things... but the way they do things is vastly different than 99% of people.

Maybe taxis work better for you, but that is because you are pretty unique in how you operate.
I wear jeans and a black T-shirt to work almost every single day. My wife makes fun of me and says I dress like a cartoon character, but for some reason it just removes a huge mental load knowing there is one less decision to make in the day.

Agroindustrial farming practices have led to most of our produce in stores becoming more caloric but less nutritionally dense. Interesting idea that perhaps our food plants are becoming more "obese-yet-malnourished" and this change in food plants could be at the root of a number of health risks.
All that tells us is that cloudflare has a different revenue stream. Amazon is a business and they are in the business of making money. If they weren't charging for egress bandwidth they'd just charge for something else.
No, that is not true. We run our own infrastructure for ProtonVPN and also own the hardware for our core servers: https://protonvpn.com/support/secure-core-vpn/ This can be verified by inspecting our VPN endpoints which are all public.

We have no connection with Nord or any other VPN. ProtonVPN is however owned and operated by ProtonMail, with some support from the European Union.

Look again - that tight loop in RtlFindNextForwardRunClear isn't spinning on a lock - it's scanning forward through memory, 4 bytes at a time, looking for 4 bytes not equal to the pattern in %ebp.

So it looks more like "process is holding lock A while doing a very long scan through memory". That would fit with the name of the function, too.
It's definitely a smart device. But to me a smart home has a central system that can monitor a variety of inputs and, in response, control a set of things to accomplish some goal.

We have a robot vacuum and robot mopper. Me going over and pressing the robot vacuum button, then once its done, placing the robot mopper in position and pressing the start button, is using smart devices but isn't a smart home. If I can tell a central system to "clean the kitchen" and it starts the vacuum, and when that's done dispatches the mopper, that's a smart home.

I know higher end iRobots can do this sort of thing in their dedicated app. And if you can control that via a smart home hub then that would be smart home functionality to me.

How do you consider Boston Dynamics successful? They are continually sold to new owners because nobody knows how they can generate a profit.

SpaceX likewise is also in a somewhat murky financial position, although I suspect they will come out doing great in the future. My limited understanding is they are avoiding an IPO because their financials are not up to snuff.

AirBnB was heavily derisked before serious investors took notice - YC loves talking about them as an example because they had so much trouble raising a seed round before they skyrocketed into their A round shortly thereafter. Also I suspect AirBnB is actually going to IPO at a lower valuation than their last round, but I realize I am very much an outlier with that assessment.

I understand high risk high reward, but sometimes investors are just being dumb. I feel like you chose terrible examples to make your point. And since all of your examples are private companies it is impossible for us to analyze their finances.

I got hit with the "not enough space" endless reboot loop during installation. Booting into Recovery Mode and reverting to a previous local Time Machine backup fixed everything in about 5 minutes. However, discovering that 5 minute fix took about 24 hours hours of frustration and command line experimentation. I didn't even know Mojave created local snapshots.

Then I hit the "configuring macOS" forever bug after the second install attempt (just force reboot).

I think both of these installer bugs have been addressed in the recent supplemental update to 10.15.0 for any downloads going forward. Despite all these issues, things have been fine actually running Catalina, but I'd wait a few point releases if I did it again. The whole thing 'feels' very fragile, for lack of a better word — mostly due to the online conversation about it.

I'm definitely leaving my home theater Mac Mini on 10.14 for the foreseeable future after reading about the HDMI issues.
What they are doing is continuing their decades-long commitment to backward compatibility, which makes it much harder to remove old code from the OS.
So it's not an option for you, me or your mom, but that doesn't mean it's not an option for the billions of other people in the world. (again, not saying it's a good idea considering the cost and storage requirements for a general user -- but again, not everyone is the same user)
As a side note, 99% of the times I have called a taxi, I end up with a very poor connection, having to repeat myself multiple times, talking to someone who makes it seem like helping me get a taxi is the last thing they want to be doing. They don't understand what I want, can't figure out where I am, and get angry at me when I have trouble hearing them on the crappy phone line.
Is Amazon (e-commerce not AWS) down?
That's a good tip. Presumably fewer folks know about startpage. But even reducing the number of searches that you send to Google is a privacy improvement.
Your ability to tweak, customize and rice your setup is not what standard users want.

They want it to just work and be secure. iOS has this figured out hands down.
This is one of the biggest reasons I hate doing Mac updates.

I will usually wait almost 6 months to do the upgrade because of that, and then usually over a weekend/holiday so I don't lose work time trying to deal with the troubles that can arise.
Data centers and the contracting companies’ overhead of managing them. If they’re not that great at it, you lose a lot in terms of availability, business agility, etc. Like, imagine using Softlayer as your provider except even worse. You have to manage ticketing systems for these folks specifically, you need to handle leases for colocation, ad infinitum when you have to manage an enterprise class datacenter and even then it doesn’t mean you get enterprise results.
Which is still to my point: Softbanks Vision Fund model is not proven yet. It is just as probable it is more a vehicle to find a place for Middle Eastern money to sit than a true 10x fund strategy, which is becoming more evident since they're already working on Vision Fund 2.

Requiring Gitlab doesn't translate into requiring office space either.
Your reply doesn't make sense since Samsung can simple relax its SELinux if this were actually the issue (they did this in the past, btw, to implement some features in the past). Remember that SELinux is simple a set of rules that can be overridden or removed, you just need privileged access, that you know, Samsung completely does in their devices.

More likely: Linux on DeX had much less adoption than Samsung thought it would have, so after Android 10 they simple decided it wasn't worth continuing development.
Ask HN: Is “claim your profile” a good strategy?
I wanted to get an idea on what the community thinks of the claim your profile strategy for a way to gain user-base. What's good or bad about it?
You should want those merges so that you can later bisect where a problem was introduced. If you start/end each day with a merge and leave the merge commits in, and you notice something goes wrong later, it's much easier to trace where the problem is.

Rebase definitely satisfies my OCD and makes everything look pretty, but it's actually worse.
There's a lot of stuff that changed:

- Past: fewer people online, mostly curious and quirky ones; now: everyone's online

- Past: fewer creators; now: everyone's a creator with an FB/Instagram

- Past: doing stuff for fun; now: doing stuff for $$$ (maybe not all but definitely lots). Thousands of thousands of YouTubers. We're flooded with content every day.

- With so much content to consume, the desire for creation vanishes.

- I also feel like the societies getting more well-off kills the innovation. When I was a student I couldn't really afford many things, so I had to be creative to get around that. Now you just pay a few bucks to some internet giant and all your problems are solved.

- I feel like facebookization killed many online communities. What used to be an independent phpbb board with a logical structure, room for customization and some tools for admins to manage it, became an FB group that is impossible to navigate and manage sensibly, with posts ordered by an algorithm, and which spams me with notifications at the least convenient times.

- Other downside of power grab by FB: I hate when all my real-life friends get spammed by every little post on every shitty FB group I make. This totally killed the anonymity of the net and separation between various communities.

- Societal radicalization means there's more trolls and aggressive people than before, which makes me less keen to engage in discussions with strangers (apart from HN, one of few places that keeps the level).

- I used to read news on the internet to save time (among other reasons). Now with all the heavy ads-bloated, video-bloated, SEO-optimized gibberish content split in 15-pages slideshow, and clickbaity headlines, I think it might be actually more informative and time efficient to read and oldschool newspaper or watch evening news.

- Having said that, maybe it's just the old guard getting old, and having less time to explore -- getting busy with work, families etc.? On Reddit, there are lots of very weird subcommunities I'd never think of. My younger brother still plays Deluxe Ski Jump like it's early 2000s, and hangs out with the other guys who do the same.
You probably live in NYC or LA?
I think we'd see much greater reduction of serious injury and death by implementing stricter requirements and better training than simply doing our best after the fact to make sure everything is idiot-proof. A proactive approach rather than a reactive one.
It is more misleading to count somebody as different who is second or third generation American and who has fully adapted American culture values and norms but count that person as more different to the host country due to different skin color or remote country of origin than a Spanish person whom just settled in Switzerland.

The slightly racist assumption in America is that if I as a white Norwegian settle in America I contribute less to diversity than a black American who has lived his whole life in America.

In America diversity is all about what you see on the outside.

We used Elm for our web client and loved it. None of us in our company are "web people" -- we're low-level C++/CUDA folks (and Erlang for network code) -- but we needed to have a public facing web interface.

Elm worked great, and we had no problem having several developers contribute to the same project without stepping on each other, with everyone able to read each other's code.

It's been 100% stable, predictable, and reliable. And, yes, we're calling JavaScript via ports. Works well.
