It bothers me when people use the phrase living paycheck to paycheck to describe both someone who literally doesn’t make enough money to cover the essential bills of living as well as someone making $200k+. These people are not in the same boat whatsoever.

The doctor, or any professional making that much, simply needs to turn in the lease on the luxury car, or downsize their house, or cancel their vacation to materially change their financial circumstance.

A person truly living paycheck to paycheck has to choose between eating or paying rent and there’s no luxury car to sell or turn in to free up cash flow to make that decision easier. They are very much resource constrained.

This isn’t to say I don’t believe there are professionals in this boat. I just believe we need a different term for it as it’s not fair to lump these two very separate groups into the same definition. Perhaps describing them as living beyond their means.
Yes, Certbot.

I suppose I could have made that known in my post.
GDS are excellent: they are the "internal consultant" organization aiming to bring up the standard of computing in UK public services without handing huge amounts of money to exploitative external firms.

The Home Office handles immigration in the same way that America's "ICE" does, with all that implies.
Funny you should mention the door to door thing. I literally just got this email from a merchant that shipped via FedEx. The package went from being delivered on the 13th to lost in limbo at the regional hub. Yay me.

> In the meantime, I would recommend checking around neighbors and with any other potential members of your household to ensure the package was not incorrectly delivered.
They don't give a shit because the news they read, the entertainment they watch all tell them not to. The narrative has been set by private interests for decades - perhaps hundreds of years. So now these opinions look like they are coming from the grass roots.
The single most effective parameter in this simulation is Carbon price. Sliding it all the way to the right lowers the temperature increase from 4.1 to 3.0. Most of the other parameters do little or nothing.

Of course setting a high price for carbon is different from actually making people/companies pay for it.
Hey Kyle! Been a long time paying user. 1Password has helped me help my family use better passwords. We all have local vaults, but I often recommend and help onboard companies I consult with to the hosted service. Thanks for building an awesome app!
Problem is that while there's a limit to how much you can spend on (I guess student, not mortgage) debt, groceries, and restaurants, the amount you can spend on holidays, houses and philanthropy vary on a much larger scales.

You can go on a holiday flight to another country for a few hundred dollars. Or you can rent a private jet to tour the world, staying at a 5-star hotel each place. That could easily be the difference between a 3 figure price and a 6 figure price.

Houses, you can get them for a few annual average salaries, or a few hundred. Depends on where you want to live.

And donations can vary as much as you like, a dollar or 100M.

For software devs, I would think the real ladder is not whether you can buy the groceries you want. My guess is most of us in the West can buy the truffles every week if we really felt like it, and likewise with restaurants.

What you perhaps want to consider is whether you have the resources to not work for a while, whether to educate yourself, travel, or do your own startup. This comes down to the opportunity cost of lost income being worthwhile to do those things.

>why didn't anybody sue them?

What exactly would they sue them for? Defamation and libel claims don't just require the defendant to be wrong, they have to have known or ought to have known that the claims were false. If Bloomberg could point to some outside source, anonymous or not, I don't see a way that Supermicro could meet the standard of proof necessary to sue them over it.
I really wish they would use a numbering scheme that used points for the non-LTS releases: 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0...

Virginia had. Lot of success with limiting the number of purhases per month to cut back on strawman purchases. It made a statistical drop in gun violence. To truly combat that or mass shootings we need to address the why, not the how. And that isn't better psych car and red flag laws. Psychologists admit freely they can't distinguish between those who will harm people in mass shootings and the multitude of others with similar personalities. It has to be about asking what in our society prompts people to harm themselves or others and reducing those stressors. Again, why, not how or who.
A situation where the remote datastore is compromised and now with it, all of my passwords.

Or if I was to buy into 1Password's worldview, all of my credit cards, bank accounts, ID cards, everything I want to keep a secure digital copy of, is at risk.

Having a sense of control is a huge part of the way we think. Despite the greater risk of death in a car compared to an aeroplane, there's less concerns about car travel because there's a sense of control. Similarly, having the data under my control may be less secure, but that's still within my control rather than dependent on someone else doing the right thing.
> AWS certificates are free.

"Free", but you can only use them on AWS stuff. AWS makes it nice and easy (and does a bunch behind the scenes for you). Part of that behind-the-scenes is that they have control of the private key on their side. You want to use the AWS generated cert locally, or on another provider, too bad.
I very quickly adopted a habit of typing gmake for downloaded sources. Can’t see any pain at all and why it is relevant. Make(1) is basically gnu make today and when it’s not, you’re aware of its alias.

A suggestion for naming makefiles GNUmakefile is a funny try to borderline, but it is late for around two decades and cannot have effect beyond boring. In technical terms, it is easier to rename BSDmakefiles rather than millions of projects out there.
I agree. I have around 500 computers under management, finally left them for Teamviewer after LMI's price tripled and their features halved (or worse). I ran it mostly from Linux, which they seemed to be withdrawing support for.
>probably the worst that might happen is exfiltrating code

This is far far from the worst that might (and does) happen. I think you severely underestimate the average dev's access to critical systems.

>but presumably all their remote access is 2FA protected

hahahahahaha

You also severely overestimate the security of most companies. A lot of F500s don't even use 2FA at all, let alone on something like CI/CD.

> unlikely that an attacker would find and exploit it faster than the defender would realize the box is gone and revoke keys

I have firsthand seen many cases where this isn't true at all. OTOH, I've never once heard of anyone catching a breach by using Little Snitch or anything close to it (though I'm not opposed to it at all as a good practice).

And in many cases, it has very little to do with "revoking keys" or any kind of remote access. Many people, whether they realize it or not, usually have some very valuable data just sitting in a csv file on their machine (I've encountered a large number of devs that have partial exports of customer databases stored locally on their machine that they were using for local testing). That type of stuff is easily lifted, no remote access required.
You've just linked to a bill that effectively allows the attorney general to designate any semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine an "assault weapon". There's not a barrel shroud to be found in it.

Yeah, look- I got my tests back when $99 covered everything. I got my grandparents on each side to spit in tubes for me. I was able to fill in may missing gaps in my genealogy as well as use snp-pedia to look at my own "source code". Its fun.

Guess what, my maternal granddad had Parkinson's disease. I hope to god the do something with our data. I knew that $99 was not enough to pay for the processing, storage and hosting of my data. This is the long game for 23 and me. They are a genetic research company.

I knew this was something they were going to do and I am happy they are doing it. I hope we can come up with some profitable drugs that will cure some of these more complicated disorders. Just think of what we could do if we could easily treat Alzheimer's or other age related disorders. I am not even talking about cancer or diseases like pendred syndrome that could be possible result in couples hacking nature and removing genetic illness from their kids.

I am excited. Dangers, sure. Debate, totally.
It's absolutely misinformation, as is almost everything else you read on the subject of GMOs.

As far as I'm aware the stuff used recreationally is impure enough that it's not really useful for much else so it's not terribly important to curb it's use like it might seem at first. The stuff used for Scientific, Medical, or even Industrial uses needs to be much more pure from other gasses and contaminants to work properly.

The part at the end about his new millionaire friend not having a much different life is what I think about quite a bit. Until you reach "buy my own plane without worrying too much about cost" levels of wealth your life is pretty much like everyone else...

You likely:
* commute to work every day
* work 8+ hours per day
* spend weekend hours doing choirs (laundry, grocery shopping, etc)

Sure the size and comfort (of house, car, food, etc) may vary, but you have a similar day-to-day life as a waiter, just the job and numbers are different.
If you are talking about a bunch of BSD userland, probably the only place that uses BSD extensions and other gnu incompatible non-posix stuff, I think it's pretty easy to hardwire it to only build with BSD make variants. Who even builds it manually, and how often? The OPs comment was about software in general, and for software in general gnu make is more optimal as a default in 2019, that is unless you have to be standards-compliant.

Helium is a by-product of fission, but the product of fusion. The formation from alpha-particles around fission reactions (and the amount being like 100g/year?) makes it not very worthwhile to collect.

It's a pretty blatant false equivalency, after all cars are designed for transportation and only happen to be deadly weapons, whereas guns have no other purpose but to put holes in things. That said I'm cool with banning personal automobile ownership too. Two friends have died from them. I'd take the train for the rest of my life to undo that.

> Too much carbon being released? Free carbon!

"Unlimited free mildly poisonous garbage" isn't really a great deal.

The best approach to making use of it appears to be from US Naval Research: electrically driven extraction of CO2+H2 which can then be combined into fuel. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312163311_Developme...

But that requires inputting more energy than you got from burning the fuel in the first place. So after California is fully converted to electric cars and the vast desert solar PV fields have a big surplus in the day, you could use that process to extract fuel from the ocean at prices somewhat higher than drilling it out of the ground.

+1 for this.

The only reason I ever got onto 1Password in the first place was because I didn't have to use any cloud storage, and could use wifi sync between my devices.

I was extremely disappointed as that started to change. It was an absolute nightmare having to retrain all family members in the nuanced differences in how Bitwarden works compared to 1Password. I hope I don't end up having to eat that cost a second time.
Considering that even some firearm maximalists don't appear to understand the history of the weapon they're defending or that of the FAWB, I dispute how "boring" my argument is.

> really big indictment that out of all the complex and hard to engineer systems in an aircraft it was poor software that caused the crash

While I frequently point out how bad we are as an industry at making fault tolerant code, this part is just flat wrong.

The software portion of the 737, while definitely flawed in a catastrophic way, would not have came to be if the aeronautics engineers had done their job and designed a flight worthy plane without software hacks. Not to imply the aeronautics guys are the root cause either though, the 737 Max fiasco is a top to bottom completely failure of Boeing as a whole, virtually every department involved in the Max has a significant reason to share in the blame.

23andMe's executives still claim that HIPAA doesn't apply to them because in their opinion DNA is not personal medical information.

Maybe they meant 'recently' as in geologic time and not "since 2000"?

I think it's interesting that solar energy and magnetic fields and cosmic energy fluctuates from year to year. I think these primary inputs to the system not staying constant would make it impossible to model climate such that the model could be an accurate predictive tool.

This particular tool seems rigged to show a certain outcome, and I feel bad for folks here who are frustrated by its +1C floor on temperature rise by the end of the simulation. That (crude) part of the design was probably meant to frustrate and/or panic people into taking action.

I'm happy to see such obvious rigging of the game on display here and that folks are thinking about that.

“organizational approval”

Is the literal problem, which necessitated the pop-up.

The Organization Does Not Approve™

It’s like asking someone if you can kick them in the knee before doing so. What do you think they’ll say?

Y’all seem confused: the organization, Google in this case, is antognizing it’s organizing employees. Google absolutely do not, will not, can not approve of unionization efforts. Ever.
What, the fact that Hollywood highlighted a society wide problem should be counted against it? Or do you honestly think that sexual harassment by exploiting power imbalance only happens in Los Angeles?
Ask HN: How do you organize your email?
This has been asked before but I’m inspired by a recent Ask HN on notetaking as well as the trend to migrate from gmail. I also recently migrated from gmail and the exercise of migration made me realize I hadn’t followed up on some important messages.

I used to put every email into folders for projects and topics, but it’s hard to stay on top of it and easy to forget an email once it’s moved. You can set up rules or filters but it’s also a burden.

So I stopped doing any sort of organization and relying on search. One on hand, I can always find an email if needed. But on the other hand I still forgot about an important one sometimes. Maybe more often since it’s harder to check “what is open on this project?”

Finally I adopted three folders aside from my inbox:

- archive: anything which doesn’t require an action from me is archived.

- follow-up: anything I should check on later, including sent mails that I need a reply to proceed are added here

- todo: any malls that need a reply are added here.

- inbox: I only keep emails in my inbox that are high priority/ intend to resolve within the day. I move emails from “follow up” or “todo” to “inbox” if I feel I should reply within the day for whatever reason

I try to reach “inbox zero” a few times a week.

It’s simple enough to reliably keep less than 50 emails (2 days worth) in my inbox. Depending on my workload and urgency, I can decide to reply to email immediately or move to “todo” or “follow-up”. If I have some downtime, I go through each folder and move as necessary.

Still working on slack-type messages. Respond immediately or Mark as unread works for the most part. Now that I’ve typed this out I think I’ll try “send me an email and I’ll reply when I can” for the remaining messages.
Well now I have to try it
> It's a bit like the trolley problem. Allowing someone medicine that might kill them feels like pushing someone onto the tracks

Huh? Surely allowing someone to take medicine that might kill them feels like letting someone jump onto the tracks. The analogue of pushing someone onto the tracks would be forcing them to take the medicine.
It’s interesting how you described that as exactly 0.1F.

I have a very different way of looking at data. When I see a single significant digit I assume minimal precision. So, 0.1 is something like 95% chance of 0.1 +\- 0.05 would be optimistic, and 0.01 to 1 is pessimistic.

I suspect this is a common issue with both scientific and technological reporting for a general audience.

On another thread someone was talking about the possibilities of the use of big data on medical records, but people pointed out some restrictions, be it HIPAA or other legislations regarding personal medical information, that would prevent that from happening.

TBH I think we benefit from research having access to such data, if it means to open new venues for development of better and cheaper drugs. But it sure leaves me scratching my head, maybe because the way it happened, for profit company selling user DNA data to another for profit without any cashback to the customers.

I think a federal ban on semi-automatic rifles is a ridiculous, overreaching, and counterproductive goal. Hunters in Minnesota already require licenses; should Minnesota choose, those licenses should suffice to ensure access to semi-automatic rifles. I don't care what color those rifles are, but Minnesota might care about their magazine sizes. Montana might opt out of firearms regulation entirely; that also seems like a perfectly cromulent experiment to run in the laboratories of democracy.
That is a good point. In a perfect world, managers managing technology would make an effort learning it. But it is always better to assume that they did not (assume they focus on potentially harder skills needed to manage humans and teams). Instead of lamenting this imperfection, it is better for an engineer to learn how to talk effectively to non-specialists who are friendly, smart, but clueless in the topic you want to explain. This effort will pay off in spades.
