I'll be honest... that seems like a pretty tough sell to me. You could be looking at anything from a speech disorder to a learning disability to a perfectly healthy normal child with idiosyncrasies and those things are usually left to professionals with graduate degrees. The liability seems high, you've got both the potential stigma associated with incorrectly flagging a child, or worse, missing an otherwise obvious issue that means treatment is delayed during critical years.
Why not even let people decide if they want page size and loading speed into acocunt, or if they want their search query to be second-guessed or literal, etc.

It's just easy to implement constant rate, hence why it's best practice. But adaptive rate might be ok, like, for example, if you only pick from 4 different rates and adapt exactly every second, you only leak 2 bits of information per second. The question then becomes which leaking rate is safe enough in practice?
You can forgo the beef.

To quote The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals:

… was reviled by some male colleagues for what they described as her aggression.

… Coworkers said she had no reason to be present during {Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s} interrogation. She was not an interrogator. “She thought it would be cool to be in the room” a former colleague said. But ironically her presence during Mohammed’s ordeal, sources said, seemed to anger and strengthen his resolve, helping him to hold out longer against the harsh tactics used against him.
There are a zillion phones that come to be refurbished because they originally had corporate owners. The IT department issues new phones and ends up with a giant pile of old phones, many of which are damaged, which aren't worth their time to sort out and resell, so they get thrown on a pallet and go in bulk to an electronics recycler.

The recycler sorts the phones from the PCs from the laser printers and the phones go to a company that refurbishes phones. Now they've got a thousand iPhones from a dozen companies, legally-obtained, which are locked to the personal Apple account of some salesman three deep in the supply chain and they don't even know which specific company they're from, much less which salesman.

So none of those phones can be refurbished, that person can't buy them, and the remaining phones they could buy -- which necessarily can't go to as many people as the larger number of phones -- cost more as a result of supply and demand.

All of the books above cover some aspect of what you want but don’t seem to cover the whole picture. Further, a lot of it comes down to shared mental models. If you are coming from the perspective of action taking then the other person also assumes that you will take the action. I think Leader Eat Last explains this brilliantly and actually significantly changed the way I am trying to approach leadership as well as how I work with other people in general.

> Because in the wake of 9-11, you would have been very pressed to find any US adult who didnt support torturing terrorists in custody to prevent more attacks

That's quite a bold statement. Even among my conservative leaning co-workers in the mid-west at the time, quite a number continued to be against torture, though only a few of us were also against the (second) war in Iraq.

And, as others have said, it's pretty easy to find people standing against torture in the public discourse at the time.

There is no question that the climate is changing. But what is the crisis here ?
Are the apocalyptic warnings anywhere close to reality?
And lets look at the proposed solutions:
- Going meatless. There is more and more evidence that the methane/CO2 emissions of meat industry is not very significant, atleast when you compare it to construction, cement and other industrial pollutants.
The more important question is, what is the alternative ? Insects protein ? GMO crop fueled veganism? Jurassic park is all about how unintended consequences can arise out of stupid interventions ? Meatless burgers etc are full of junk nutrition and full of stuff like sunflower and vegetable oils, oils a century ago were considered industrial oils and used as paint thinners.
- Green energy. Germany reversed their decision on Nuclear reactors to go green and the energy costs are 2x that of France. How do you expect to be competitive with other industries then ? It was the freeing up of stored chemical energy by James Watt that powered the greatest poverty lifting experiment in the history of Manking. There is no way Germany would get to 100% green energy by 2050 unless fusion, or everyone lives like they did in th 18th century or you kill off half the population.
- People consume less ? Pray why is that virtue-signaling dipshits like Lenardo Di Fraudio, Attenborough fly around in private jets whereas we plebs have to give up on our tiny cars and electronics ? A single virtue signaling Hollywood nincompoop consumes 100x more than any average person would in an entire lifetime.
- More taxes so people consume less ?
Aren't we taxed enough ?
- Tax the rich ?
Gates and Bezos dont have a 100 billion sitting around in cash. Most of it is locked up as assets in Stock or another form. Besides, whatever millions they have paid so far is more than what 100,000 people would pay in a lifetime.

>Chrome did a lot of good things in the beginning. It brought web standards to the forefront.

To be fair to Google, I think it is important to acknowledge the good things Chrome did in the beginning. I remember when it came out, and most (non - Mac users) were still using IE, it was fantastic! I remember jumping on board immediately. But for me at this point, it has become too much to bear.

At this point they are making so much money from tracking users and selling to advertisers.. who could blame them for continuing to do so? I sure can't, haha.

But after a while, I started realizing all the intrusive & creepy advertisements I was seeing were simply a result of the browser software I chose, and the website I chose do do my searches on, so I started looking for alternatives.
Your aunt has committed a Reification fallacy [1] because she doesn't understand the recursive/self-referential (e.g computational!) nature of the human mind.

You aren't going to change her mind by Philosophising her, trying to explain the fallacy to her; or throwing evidence at her, but you may be able to reach her on a human level if you learn to talk to her in her language.

The need to believe in a greater power (than the self) is rooted in a fear of the unknown - she can't cope with uncertainty. Most humans can't - don't holt it against them.

> You can't just shut off 80% of the grid without European civilization as we know it coming to an end for the foreseeable future.

Good thing the Swedish energy grid is not made out of 80% coal and other fossil fuels. It is a strawman argument to talk about shutting down 80% of the whole European energy grid in the context of the Swedish energy grid.

> As an example, I live in Amsterdam

Netherlands power grid only utilize 5% nuclear power. It has no hydro. If you made fossil fuels illegal than that would indeed make civilization as you know it coming to an end. Your power grid is wholly depended on fossil fuels for keeping the light on. Even if more wind farms and solar plants was built the coal would continue to burn during still nights.

It would not however be very hard to change that. A nuclear plant, or if you prefer an experimental battery dam would solve the issue quite fast. Just a simple matter of money and political will. Given the knowledge and experience in flood control it would even be quite suitable placement batteries, pumping in water when wind production are high and the price is cheap, and producing energy when the wind is still. At most 10-20 years, and faster if the incentives were right.

Putting pollution in the sky is not morally defenseable just because you paid a higher markup on the power bill. The markup should only exist to incentivize people to invest, and the cost should be increased until it accomplish this. Since people like to claim that nuclear is currently unprofitable, the solution then is pretty simple. Raise the tax on coal energy so that even just buying coal energy during still winter nights is still more expensive than building the nuclear plant. At that point it is no longer unprofitable to run the nuclear plant. If wind+solar+battery is cheaper then go with that, just as long as the coal stay in the ground.

But for Sweden it would just be easier to ban fossil fueled energy as we have enough hydro and nuclear to get us through still winter nights. It would however force a choice between wind+solar+battery vs nuclear, rather than the current wind+solar+coal vs nuclear. The later is unacceptable from an environmental perspective.

(I will note that a law banning fossil fuel is indistinguishable from a carbon tax that is high enough to make it more profitable to build non-polluting alternative to burning fossil fuels. The fact that people still burn fossil fuel is thus a proof that the tax is not high enough).

sysctl.d: switch net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter from 1 to 2

This switches the RFC3704 Reverse Path filtering from Strict mode to Loose
mode. The Strict mode breaks some pretty common and reasonable use cases,
such as keeping connections via one default route alive after another one
appears (e.g. plugging an Ethernet cable when connected via Wi-Fi).

The strict filter also makes it impossible for NetworkManager to do
connectivity check on a newly arriving default route (it starts with a
higher metric and is bumped lower if there's connectivity).

Kernel's default is 0 (no filter), but a Loose filter is good enough. The
few use cases where a Strict mode could make sense can easily override
this.

The distributions that don't care about the client use cases and prefer a
strict filter could just ship a custom configuration in
/usr/lib/sysctl.d/ to override this.

Not at all, these are products that I paid for. They were made for me in order to take my money, I have all the rights for strong opinions because of these transactions.

The repair shops are 3rd parties that are trying to inject themselves in the transaction pretending to be on my side when they are actually irrelevant. They advocate for thicker less secure products so that their margins increase if they win my business.

It's simply not true that the devices are not repairable, the issue is that repairing is low margin business. What they want is to have a low touch component business.
it matters a lot though, because devs are an infulential bunch. when developers start using firefox, they optimize for firefox and promote firefox (has happened repeatedly in the past). They're less effective with DDG , because it isnt a great product

Duck gives me irrelevant results to those queries. Google gives me irrelevant pop-culture results to those queries.
We already have the simple rule that if there is any reasonable doubt that they committed the crime, they shouldn’t be punished. That doesn’t seem to be working at all.

There are two reasons we can’t just have a higher standard for the death penalty. The first is that there isn’t a sensible standard stronger than proof beyond reasonable doubt. The second is that even if we impose a higher standard, that standard won’t be enforced correctly. Similar to how proof beyond reasonable doubt isn’t enforced correctly now.

Not as single country that went on torturing people can be a moral high mark.

Even if we have hard time finding countries who have not tainted themselves with torture over the last 2 decades, we should never accept torture as a norm.

Even if all major powers of the world were tainted by it, it just means that they all miss that high standard now.

Show HN: Plugd – Expedia for Hyped Sneakers
Hello HN!

Plugd takes the Expedia ideology and applies it to sneakers.

iOS (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/plugd-sneaker-deal-finder/id1486098895)

Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.getplugd.plugd)

Website (https://getplugd.com)

My roommate and I originally started working on this as a side project in August as an internal tool to help us with arbitrage sneaker trading (https://medium.com/plugd/leveraging-market-data-to-trade-sneakers-8842ee710246). We posted the prototype on the r/sneakers subreddit on a whim and were taken back by how much Redditors enjoyed our project. We got our first initial users, and with the help of the comments in that thread, were able to build out a product roadmap.

Original Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/Sneakers/comments/cz3r58/a_little_side_project_i_made_for_sneaker_price/)

Since then we’ve both quit our jobs and have been working on Plugd full-time. We’ve added more vendors, a used section, and shipping + tax info to help buyers make more informed purchasing decisions. We also launched the first iterations of our Android and iOS app!

We’re always looking for feedback, so give it a try and let us know what you think! We can be reachable at hello@getplugd.com
Hmm, that's weird. I got the exact same phrases. Are these actually bot-generated in real-time or is the app just pulling from a set?
Why Impact-Per-Dollar is a terrible way to measure NGO effectiveness
On Github I found this commit:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/230450d4e4f1f5fc9f...

The explanation in the commit message said this:

------
This switches the RFC3704 Reverse Path filtering from Strict mode to Loose mode. The Strict mode breaks some pretty common and reasonable use cases, such as keeping connections via one default route alive after another one
appears (e.g. plugging an Ethernet cable when connected via Wi-Fi).

The strict filter also makes it impossible for NetworkManager to do connectivity check on a newly arriving default route (it starts with a higher metric and is bumped lower if there's connectivity).

Kernel's default is 0 (no filter), but a Loose filter is good enough. The few use cases where a Strict mode could make sense can easily override this.

The distributions that don't care about the client use cases and prefer a strict filter could just ship a custom configuration in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/ to override this.
------

I do not know enough about NetworkManager or sysctl parameters to completely understand if this is a valid reason or not, but this sounds like an acceptable explanation for the change to me.
This so much. Handwriting quality helps me decide which paper should be tossed. If its agitated like you describe, the value of the information on it is probably trash and therefore it goes into the trash.
If you use Haskell, then I'd recommend just using ghci over bc because you can't do floating point stuff in bc:

1/3
0

Whereas ghci, or your language's REPL, will likely do better:

0.3333333333333333
> This vulnerability works against OpenVPN, WireGuard, and IKEv2/IPSec

> It should be noted, however, that the VPN technology used does not seem to matter

I was wondering which VPNs, but after reading it seems that it doesn’t matter the VPN but is instead a kernel bug? I wonder if this also affects a host that has two network interfaces, with no VPN involved whatsoever?

Also, it’s good to see Jason Donenfeld involved, which many will likely recognize as the author of Wireguard.

But if you want to fight climate change, surely any cost is worth it? Otherwise you're not serious about it. Subsidize it, do whatever it takes to save the planet. Renewables are a false solution, they're quicker to build but cannot produce energy reliably, need to be replaced often, take too much space etc. If they could replace coal, surely Germany would've done so already.
