Many graduate programs are funded either completely or partially by research fellowships and/or TAships. Med school loans iirc are pretty low interest and aren't as much of a burden given you can do things like moonlight to generate a lot of instant income as a doctor (most docs pay for a month of childcare by taking a night shift or two).

The real stick is law school. If you don't end up in a top program, you better end up at the top of your class unless you like starting salaries of 45k after a >200k education.
I will be the first to jump on Apple but why would you turn off updates entirely?
This isn't privatizing or restricting usage of a public space.
Reactive versus proactive, which where I believe the Senator is speaking to. If Facebook were proactively monitoring for this the way most organizations monitor PII they would be more accountable.
> Go processes do not typically have 1M or 10M active goroutines at once.

It depends on domain, but in my domain of high-RPS network servers, they absolutely do.

> 10M goroutines would mean 20GB just for stacks.

When I deploy to metal, the average host has ~512GB of RAM, and not much cotenancy.

> The 2kB minimum stack size is on the same order of magnitude as the 10kB POSIX thread stack size.

There's also a question of cost to create and destroy; it's very common for goroutines to live for O(µs). I don't know how POSIX threads compare here.
You’re probably right, but we can probably all agree there is a line somewhere that we don’t want police crossing with regard to baiting criminal activity.

I’d just rather us not have to debate where the line should be and be ever vigilant as police push the boundaries.
It would be theoretically possible to gain volume while losing mass.
Remember when Google got in trouble for helping advertisers sell illegal drugs and even Larry Page knew a what was going on? I doubt Facebook cares.

Usually it's mutually agreed upon when there's a conflict. For example Disney CEO Bob Iger was on Apple's board up until Apple announced they were creating a streaming service. Disney was planning a streaming service that would compete with Apple TV+. Iger announced his resignation from Apple's board on September 10.

All the ex-employees of three letter agencies who now have nice jobs in the news media are downplaying this because it is probably standard procedure to lie to the FISA court. We get to find out because they went after the President instead of Joe Bloggs.
Really? I always have to go hunt to Settings to trigger my updates. Got a screenshot? Maybe I’m pwnd by the man...
All the more reason to get into a field that hires you for your head, not your hands. Usually that means grad school.
The radiation does concern me as well, especially since the vit-d and bpc-157 are proangiogenic. That said, I have completely removed sugar and carbs from my dietary intake and I use AGE+curcumin to break down biofilm from senescent cells and use Sulforaphane plus Myrosinase to up-regulate NRF2 which in turn increases cellular autophagy and apoptosis of senescent cells. I suppose time will tell if my actions are beneficial.
High frequency trading requires a rapid connection.

However, that is only one strategy and there are numerous trading strategies which work on the minutes or hours scale and are very achievable by a single person.
I keep thinking of trying a tile tracker except that seriously misplacing my keys or wallet is such an unusual event that it seems like sort of an expensive insurance policy given that (I think?) they all have a finite life with embedded battery.
Yeah and I want to get my car fixed while it’s still running!
They look at your income too. If you are a high earner with zero in the bank you aren't getting any aid.
The simple answer is that there's a far greater number of people who saw the product but didn't buy then those who did. Conversions are a tiny percentage that scales with price, so showing ads to everyone who saw it raises that conversion rate.

It doesn't really affect the people who already bought it since the conversion is complete, and the wasted impressions are trivial compared to the cost of implementing more complex tech to keep things in sync.

Perhaps there's a secondary effect of negative reputation from seeing ads for stuff you bought but the data doesn't bear it out.
Also surprised. I've been involved with designing and implementing "customer service portal" functionality for a couple of services that were quite small, and yet this is something we very much considered. For example we added rate limiting such that even though a CSR could override user account state via the portal, they couldn't do it that much without triggering a block on their ability to do it again.
Great idea but Figma is not the best...Build for sketch!
The problem isn't government regulation, it's bad regulation.
Calling someone a scrooge or cheap for finding a hole in a technical limitation device that is sloppy in its implementation as it is click-bait in it's dark patterns of pretending the page is an open page/free page so it can compete in the search engines but in reality it presents a paid-gate that only appears after leading content is very unhackernews like.

NYT one of the largest most profitable companies pretends to show you an article baits you and demands money and you are a scrooge for not paying? In that context they are the rich entity and should give the content away (the way Scrooge should have). No where in the story does it mention Tiny Tim finding coal in Scroogle's garbage and someone stopping him and calling him cheap for not paying full price because Scrooge employes so many people.
This morning I saw somebody riding their bicycle without a helmet. They could die like that, and for what? A moderate sensation of comfort?

Obviously they perceived the risk as low.
Intel is also the most used processor in the market at the moment, once that balance shifts, more attention will be paid to AMD processor so we'll potentially have more vulns uncovered.
I'm writing the comment from outside the US. The fact that they referenced Georgia and "nation" seperately is part of what made me think they were referencing a Georgia that was part of a nation not a Georgia that was a nation. The language is confusing.

Also the GDP of the state of Georgia is 30x larger than the country of Georgia and it has 300% of the population. The state is a drastically more important world player than the country (IE it would be drastically bigger news if this was true of the state than the country). There is nothing US centric about this.
Do you happen to know that link?
Do you assume all HN users would reach the paywalls' read-limits through organic everyday use?

I felt forced to disable cookies and javascript on the following sites just after exclusively clicking on links submitted to HN: NYT, Medium, Washington Post, Bloomberg, MIT Technology Review and Harvard Business Review.

I'd prefer if submitters choose more user-respecting sources, but until then I refuse to feel guilty over stopping these intrusive sites and their dark patterns.
IIRC intel stopped doing as much validation like 10ish years ago (so, 2009/2010). it would be nice to see then publish a paper about how those decisions lead into these problems...
Oh yes, certainly no University would dream of actually paying for the research that goes on within their walls.

Even better, if a professor actually gets a grant, the university will “tax” the grant at around 50% to pay for the overhead of providing office space for your post docs.
I’m just amazed at how many people dig the Z80 as much as I do. It’s so cool seeing all these projects on my favourite CPU.

I mean this stuff would have seemed absolutely incredible to my 18 year old self. And so very cool to see a reference to MP/M. Though I seem to recall needing to use 8080 mnemonics to work on MP/M?
It can absolutely do near-real-time pitch detection of singing or humming or even better whistling. We may want to tweak the parameters a little bit for that specific domain but it probably does reasonably well right now.

If you want you can test out how well it does as-is right now. Within the app go to "Settings" then "Audio Analysis Settings" then click the "Test Settings" button. That will show you the same pitch and note-onset detection as used during game-play.

I'd be happy to talk more -- you can reach me as rod@ the domain I linked to -- but to be candid monochromatic pitch detection of the human voice is not a hard problem. I'm not sure FATpick is as special at this as you seem to think, but I'm not quite sure what you have in mind. And I certainly don't want to talk you out of thinking that :) I'd love to hear more about it.
>but it lacks a powerful desktop processor

That's what I mean by a more beefy model.

>And when you are done, your desk is covered by your Mac cluster

It seems like it would be straightforward to make it so a bunch of stuff could go in a single stack with the same footprint.
Options in major cities are much more limiting. The nice places like that are absurdly expensive. Rover helps make it more affordable to board your pup for longer trips.
I don't think they should work for free. I'm not under the impression that they do work for free, or that blocking ads or paywalls will cause them to work for free.
I love all of the weird computers that got built by academics in the 1980s! That sounds like such a cool machine.
Ask yourself: is caring for my 2-3 kids at home, cleaning the house, cooking, laundry, ... Really the most interesting way I want to spend my life?

There are some (mostly women) who choose this. There are many many more (mostly women) who do this because they don't see any other choice, either due to cultural pressure or due to financials.

There are also studies that show it's good for the kids to be with other kids and in a more structured learning environment than a home can offer.

It's not that childcare is undervalued it's that most women want to see themselves as more than just responsible for bearing and rearing children.

What you are defending is the classical conservative relationship model. Nothing wrong with that. Indeed it can be pleasant for many people. For many more it is not a satisfactory way to live their life. It's also often not satisfactory for the working partner that rarely gets to see their kids.

Now, where it gets interesting would be more flexible models like they are common in the Nordics, e.g. both parents working 60-80% and alternating childcare and household duties on different days/weeks. THAT is a progressive and for all sides positive model.
Yes, this needs a "what is the catch?" section in readme.
I agree with your point. I'm high income in the midwest and dealing with the same thing. Rent and Healthcare go up and up and up.
> worker mobility is at historic lows

Perhaps the disappearing ladder rungs of housing, occur in transportation too? Some years back, Boston-NYC intercity buses had a couple of inexpensive "light gray"-market companies go mainstream. They were attacked by incumbents, federal and local politicians and law enforcement, and press. Leaving now gray-market buses for "illegals" pushed to the city periphery, and a (now somewhat more competitive) middle-class mainstream. With a gap in between, where working poor might commute, bridging the two labor markets. It seemed that price point and use case was too socio-politically vulnerable to be viable.
No need for personal attacks.
It is different, yes.

Sometimes OS upgrades delete your mail:

So that's the world we live in. However I think you have a very good point and silent updates are an okay end-game, as they are with browsers. The stakes are very high, as they are with browsers.

With browsers, here are the table stakes with auto updates: a silent update without a prompt could introduce a security issue to all users - web sites are untrusted and can send any html they want to browsers. Users browse websites they don't trust all the time. They click links willy nilly. I could put in any URL into this comment and you would click it, since you know you are on latest Chrome or Firefox and you know any zero day would be patched.
You view HTML across a very hard security sandbox. So browser security issues could be instant p0wnage, and keeping everyone always updated introduces a huge baddie incentive on each latest update. There's no chance to fix it if everyone gets it. The update mechanism also needs to be harder than Fort Knox. I imagine the infrastructure for Chrome's update role outs has 10,000 human hours of security hours spent on it.

The stakes are even higher with operating systems, though: people run local applications they may rely on and which could break. Here it is not so much security as functionality.

The software was written against and tested against a certain version. A new version can behave differently. Software can't adapt to that, it's not live.

With web sites, at least it's always being served. If it renders weird in latest chrome or firefox, there's a good chance it will get fixed. (The main reason for this would be if it wasn't compliant to begin with.) Web sites are always actively being served. If they're "dead" they're offline.

Software running locally is already there. It may or may not be updated. It could be dead but people still use it.

So the models are different but with very high stakes in each case.
I never understood why firing is seen as sufficient punishment for bad actors inside a company. There are so many situations where the payoff is still much higher even if you get fired.
Windows Phone 10 support officially ends today, here's a 2018 overview of the OS
Cities are zoned for different densities. There will be R-1, 2, 3 etc. Meaning 1st density residential, 2nd, etc. My city, for example, requires a 60 ft wide lot and at least 7 ft of setbacks on each side for R-2 zoning. Row-house is out of the question.
That's brilliant! I could recognize Abu Simbel Profanation, and maybe Elite? My first steps learning programming were Basic and then Z80 assembly language on a ZX Spectrum...
Individual computers got cheaper but the numbers increased dramatically. Few collages had high speed networking to every dorm in 1980. WiFi is a similar new expense that they suddenly ‘needed’ to pay for and staff people to maintain. My point was not that computers where the only issue just that they where a specific example that grew much faster than inflation. IT was really expensive.

Many schools lack donors and actually needed to pay for new facilities. 12.1m students in 1980 vs 21.2m in 2010 means quite a few new buildings across the full range of collages.
Typically, "slower" updates in Debian testing are due to the fact that the new package version has known breakage that makes it unsuitable for release, or requires dependencies to be updated and this in turn breaks existing packages (either the build, or the package itself). These situations have to be managed via a "transitions" mechanism. When in doubt, there is a tracker at https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php that reports on why a newer version of the package has yet to enter the testing channel.
True, but above a certain income threshold, one which many of the visitors to this site exceed, you won't be getting any aid anyway. It sucks to be "punished" for doing the "right" thing and planning your your kid's future but what's the alternative, assuming a college education is the end goal?

> tablets, laptops, cameras, speakers, and phones—basically, most things a thief may want to steal, except for your keys and cold hard cash. (Although if you use a Tile or similar locater dongle on your key chain or in your wallet, then those are discoverable using a Bluetooth scanner, too.)

As in most security-related articles there's a lot of speculation and an overall fear-mongering tone here. Laptops don't propagate Bluetooth advertisements while closed and hibernating. The author's friend MacBook was stolen because it was close to the iPad that wasn't hibernating and had its Bluetooth on.

Also, almost all cameras don't advertise Bluetooth (it is too slow to transmit video and images), most BtLe speakers are too cheap to interest thieves and most people keep their cellphones with them.

Also, Tile trackers are mostly kept in things that people want to keep with them, one of their functionalities is precisely to warn the user when they're left behind.

At the end, all the author has is just a theory and a suspicion from a police officer.
I'd am perfectly comfortable with all ad based internet content disappearing from the internet. A much better internet will take its place.
Plundervolt
That's really not at all true; there are lots of searches that deeply invade privacy and don't require a search warrant, including border searches, administrative searches at airports and courthouses, and searches incident to arrest.
You just spelled out the difference.
This is silly. If you click anywhere on the notification it brings you to the "Software Update" preferences dialog where "Advanced..." lets you uncheck "Check for updates". There are a bunch of options, actually, for very granular control, like whether to download in advance or not.

And here's the thing... this is good UI, because...

Like herd immunity, I want everyone to be installing security updates as soon as convenient to prevent malware from spreading. What is shown are exactly what the easy, default options should be. But if you're an informed consumer and have specific reasons to disable updates, then "Advanced..." is exactly the place to put it.
Thanks.

I don't always reference "Guitar Pro" by name. Do you think that specific phrase would catch your eye or be more significant for you?

I.e. is "import Guitar Pro tabs" substantially more meaningful to you than, say, "import custom tabs"?
I was randomly just looking for a site to do online photoshop yesterday and abandoned this one due to the flash requirement.
No, it doesn’t empty out the middle class. That assertion is unfounded. The middle class in the US is so large that the wealth of the billionaires spread out amongst it is effectively a drop in the bucket.

> If you make 5% of that middle class rich

If you’re talking about the top 5%, you’re not just attacking billionaires, you’re hitting all successful small business owners, doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. That’s an entirely different argument.

The middle class has not been emptying at all. It just hasn’t progressed in wealth like the upper. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/06/the-america...
That market was deliberately stoked by FHA and mortgage lending restrictions. The thread itself points out that these issues are not soley the result of zoning.

> While single family zoning was reserved for homeowners (read: White), multi-family housing was seen as being for renters, (people of color).

> State, federal, and local governments all conspired to limit homebuying and lending to whites for decades.

> But from the point of view of the welfare of the child, I think it's pretty clear that having a loving, stable, attached relationship with an engaged parent is going to be better for that child's overall well-being and future success than a relationship with a parent who loves them but can really only stand being around them in small doses.

Absolutely agree! And from the outside looking in, it makes me really sad to see -- for example -- parents who'd rather be buried in their phone all day than engaging with their kid.

But I think maybe that's where there's a slight disconnect between what you and I are saying... I personally don't feel like it constitutes lack of engagement for a parent to derive no joy out of doing something like cleaning up a kid's messes. I can't imagine a context where I'd have any positive feelings about cleaning up a paint spill on a carpet, even if it had nothing to do with a kid of my own.

Some of the other things that the original poster you replied to are maybe a bit borderline questionable. If it gets to the point where you'd much rather be at work than spending time with your kid, that's really bad for the kid, and the family as a whole. Not saying that poster actually feels that way; obviously we have only a teeny tiny bit of knowledge about their life. But I think if sometimes you just get so tired and drained where you feel like you need a break from being around your kid all the time, and your job is an escape from that feeling, that's just normal human needs and behavior... as long as that's the exception, and not the norm, I don't see anything red-flag-y about that.
The Facebook app can read the messages just as you do when the app decrypts the messages locally.
Similarly, just yesterday I had to go home from the cafe I was working in because I had to push a docker image. The wifi just wasn't fast enough for that, though plenty fast for googling documentation
I'm going to go on a limb and say that the parent omitted something, like ignoring the updates for weeks prior.
I would disagree. The 16th amendment gave the goverment the power to do something like social security as it explicitly allows the taxing of income. The case you mention mainly concerns how the federal government may spend money collected via taxes.

Wickard v. Filburn in my honest opinion seems to allow the goverment even greater involvment in personsal/individual matters under the guise of interstate commerce.

Apple Pay story: We had a credit card on the account that was expired by months and thrown away. We couldn't delete the old card because it was the default[0], and we couldn't add a new card to make the default without entering the last digits of the old (which we no longer had). We also couldn't cancel a subscription without the last digits.

Ultimately found a work-around by going to the accounts website and adding the new card from a family plan member (which didn't require the last digits of the old on the main account holder's account) and then cahnging the default and deleting the old. But it wasn't documented anywhere.

Some of the people I've talked with over the years study things like nuclear weapons arms control or cyberwarfare. The most paranoid of the bunch have resorted to having Virtual Private Servers screen shot websites with headless browsers once it loads and pipe it back to their research machine. I can't remember if it's a table of PNGs or just one big one, but either way it's sent back over a SSH tunnel and when you click the server knows what you're trying to click on and preforms the action for you, and will randomly forward the click to a new VPS.

It's not perfect because the IP blocks make it obvious that it comes from DigitalOcean, AWS, etc, but it's sure better than loading untrusted PDFs or JS locally. Still vulnerable to a network attack, though.
This smacks of the No True Scotsman problem - were all the regulations good, we wouldn't have this problem. And yet, governments are by and large incompetent, and most regulations they pass are bad. Almost all have significant unintended consequences. The ways to fix this are to minimize regulation at all levels and make regulation as hyper-local as possible.
The Catalina "upgrade" breaks a lot of things, and for me the things it breaks are much more important than the new features(?) that I'd get
