Entertainment is a key component in my theory as well. For me, I called the last election after seeing Trump's behavior in the first republican debate. After he won the election, I predicted him winning in 2020 and shooting for 2024.

The other major factor I see is how Trump handles scandal: brag about getting away with it, and accuse everybody else of doing the same thing. It's certainly dramatic -- I'm loath to call it entertaining... but it's hard to tear oneself away from this news cycle

At least he's doing the honest thing and giving away the money that he's earned by creating something of great value to society. That's far more honest than what other Democratic candidates like Bernie, Warren and Yang want to do which is trying to buy the election by promising to take money from Americans that earned it and give it to those that have not earned it.

Make no mistake, promising wealth transfers using taxpayer money to buy an election is still buying an election.
Actually I do agree with your statement, your statement is a much more nuanced PC way of getting to the point of my original comment.

I tend to far more blunt with my comments probably because I just get a kick out working up the zealots on both sides.
If you had just omitted your last sentence that would have been so much better.

(It's a general heuristic on HN: Omit your last sentence. Most of our comments would be improved, as we are not as good at rhetoric as our passions would guide us to imagine.)
It's pretty normal for open source projects to refuse contributions from anyone who hasn't signed a CLA or something similar. The alternative is a legal nightmare.
Your initial comment is on-point, except I don't think any of these people are identifying with or as nihilists.

They are invariably politically leftists. Which is where contemporary "bad words and cancel culture" come from.

The irony of being ostensibly "leftist" while flashing a 0.1% lifestyle of "knowing the room service menu at the Ritz by heart" and getting high in first class.

You may be referring to a particular brand of "excuse me for being a degenerate occasionally, but you know my heart is in the right place and I'm a friend of the proletariat" sort of leftism, but it's definitely not a nihilism and they'll definitely parrot the right leftist lines at parties or they'll lose their little perch in a heartbeat.

Throwing out the "perk" of providing free performance enhancing drugs to their employees means their average employee will become less effective, either because they won't be on performance enhancing drugs or because they will be spending time walking around to get performance enhancing drugs instead of working. So the average employee is making less money for the company, so they are payed less, not more.

In numbers it goes something like they can pay you and extra buck a day for not having the coffee machine, but they simultaneously have to cut your pay 10 bucks a day for the loss in productive work being done. Your 9 bucks a day and free coffee down in the exchange.
And this is why IT Audit and IT Security came forward, because IT staff (1st line) will do IT stuff and won't take into account design effectiveness, operating effectiveness for controls/processes.

IT Risk (2nd line) is mostly non-IT people that try to convince IT people "what is right". That never works. One of the advantages I have when I work for the 2nd line, is that I've been the 1st line and I know the shit the IT staff have to deal with, and I don't pretent I know better, I do know (((EDIT: I do know exactly what they go through because I've gone through that myself))). And my "risk mitigation advice" is actual, tangible, and with real examples.

There is also the 3rd line (internal audit) that in most orgs they completely miss the mark. ZERO IT knowledge, probably former Big4 that have never seen a console in their lives, wearing a police hat barking orders.

No wonder that the IT landscape is suffering.

I also understand that COO/CEOs don't allow CIO-CTOs the time to have a freeze period, STOP running forward and give them the time to pause, breathe, think, repair. You can't be making and perfecting at the same time. Nobody has the resources for that, so it's all accidents waiting to happen.

I'm not fearmongering, I've just seen enough crap on IT systems (mainly on LARGE corporations) that have made my skin crawl..

I agree. There is no way a guy like Trump could have won without being independently wealthy. Will Trump spend one moment reflecting on the moral way to spend his enormous reelection campaign budget?

Heterogeneous Compute: The new semi paradigm
The interesting parts are those 25KHz transducers which seem identical to the 40KHz used since likely forever in ultrasound remotes and more recently in collision avoidance sensors for robotics. I did a small search and found mostly high powered ones at that frequency, probably ultrasound cleaners spares, or smaller but a lot more expensive transducers compared to 40 KHz ones.
Does anyone know of a source for these transducers?

I also wonder if a simpler approach could be used since the purpose appears to be (can't understand the math) generating noise by driving randomly a number of oscillators around the transducers resonance frequency then induce subharmonic vibrations into the MEMS mics through etherodyne operations between these sounds. If that's how it works, then the DDS chips, the Arduino and the code might be swapped with a less random but likely equally functional set of dissonating oscillators modulated by LFOs (all doable with plain old logic gates); not unlike the old school way of generating cymbals metallic sound in analog drum machines. Here's the Boss DR110 relevant schematic as an example.

Their “education” is piss poor, they say that you must have essentially achieved 100% attendance to be able to make any claim that their training was no good and they failed to meet their claimed effectiveness.

Then they garnish your wages from any job subsequent claiming that they got that job for you.

Part of their employment “success” is them hiring graduates from the school to teach (poorly), this maintaining their high employment rates.

Now it turns out they’re bundling and reselling the ISAs to arbitrary investors/collection agencies (who are known for behaving legally and ethically w.r.t to collections laws).

Essentially they’re frauds.
Well in the case I'm remembering a lot of setuid system utilities were written in Perl and had to be re-written in C before the interpreter and libraries could be excised. I don't know to what extent Python 2 exhibits that problem for most *nix systems.

Your points are not 'wrong' but I think you are being overly broad in the conclusion you are drawing.

Imperative programming is the dominant programming model that 99.99% of all real world code for the last 60 years has been programmed in. It very well may be due to be replaced, but certainly cant just be hand-waved away
If you want TB+, you are talking about multiple computers (in context of indefinite scaling).

For most who browse HN that immediately means you reach for Postgres (and you would be wise to do so), but I would argue you can continue to use SQLite indefinitely (one instance per node) if you manage replication and transactions between nodes at your application layer.

I realize this is probably beyond what most developers want to screw with, but I have seen some extremely promising results in experimental implementations of this scheme. Being able to replicate items conditionally based directly on business needs is a very powerful capability on paper - E.g. User session data must be synchronously replicated to all nodes, while other entities can by asynchronously replicated based on their use cases. You could handle replication and transactions based upon any business factor or state if you go down this path.

If Bloomberg gets elected the US is done. It's not longer anything resembling democracy and the only thing that will save us from the new order will be revolution.
> Does buying support like this work?

Definitely. When a voter is in the booth, and has to make their decision for once and for all, name recognition and the opinion of your community matters a ton. Further, the type of social media content that is being produced is painting him as sort of a benevolent, rich, goofy guy. It's intentionally anti-establishment, but not in the radical way or the thoughtful way... it's a safe type of rebellion and that is endearing to a massive amount of people.

> Does that open the door for his opponents to pretend to be Bloomberg's supporters but say ridiculous stuff to make people dislike him.

This has happened for a while and will continue to happen, although this kind of stuff is mainly isolated to niche Twitter... as we run up to election time, I think you will see more of this Clickhole/Onion type posting of anti-support-support.

There actually is a process of beeing interrupted while working on a plane, which consists of retreat ( you carefully undo the last step you remember doing before beeing interrupted, checking you have all parts in the location they started out, protected against dust etc.).
Then you make a note on the step you expected to do.

You start out three step before your last step.

You repeat/check those steps.

I work in the space, and your experience is accurate to mine as well.

I think it's important to keep in mind that the hard part of OAuth/OIDC has nothing to do with the core federated authentication flow. The complexity comes from several other known hard problems: federated trust, AKA how do you on-board federated trust between business entities using short-lived, easily rotated certificates? And federated authorization, AKA how do you codify the taxonomies of user roles and application permissions as an API contract between diverse businesses and apps? Both are known hard problems.

Well, there’s a lot of regulation around campaign finance: spending limits, disclosure requirements, etc. As far as I know, Bloomberg doesn’t haven’t to adhere to any of that, because it’s not campaign finances, it’s his own personal (massive) wealth.
Swift and C++ Interop Manifesto
"Completely open" is not the only useful property to discuss about a system. Email itself is still fundamentally terrible for secure messaging.

Your argument seems to boil down to: "bitcoin is open", "bitcoin can $X", "email is like bitcoin", therefore "email can $X". There are a few flaws in that argument. Firstly, Bitcoin is pseudonymous, it makes no attempt to hide transaction details, which obviously message security would need. Secondly, even if the properties of bitcoin were relevant to messaging, at best you've made the argument that "a system with public transaction records can still do what you need for safe messaging", but not "email specifically can do what you need".

There are two ways I could see your argument working out and both are pathological examples. We can do secure comms over TCP, so just design a secure comms system and then all the way at the end choose a blockchain or email as your transport. That sounds true, but also doesn't seem like a useful thought tool that results in improving anyone's communication security tomorrow.

Overnight flights from east coast to EU are late enough that they don't impact productive time, and largely get in early enough for a full day of work.

Making that flight shorter - as anyone who's done a DEN-NYC redeye will tell you - doesn't actually help productivity.

Sure, on the return flight, it would be great to shave a couple hours off, but on the way there, with the time changes required, faster doesn't so much help with productivity. Especially with inflight internet these days.

I think the author may have made a mistake in some of the math. The frame size distribution plots are likely based on the number of frames, not the amount of data contained in said frames. The 1500 byte and other large frames should therefore account for the lion's share of the actual data transferred. Correcting this error will totally change the final two graphs.
That's a nice theory, but what if your ML encoder uses textures to encode perceptual equivalence efficiently that's actually got very high errors measured by pixel? It seems to me the best ML-driven encoders would work by inferring higher abstraction details from the image in ways which are hard to get back to lossless - that there's an intrinsic tension there.
TL;dr - can this be fixed by updating to the latest certbot package?

For any of these multi-billion dollar organizations you have worked at or have sufficient trustworthy information about, do you think any of them would be able to withstand a competent pentesting organization with a $1 Million contract to breach their systems? As a corollary, if they implemented all of the suggestions of a type 2, technical CTO/CIO, do you believe they would be able to withstand such a pentest, and if so what would you estimate the cost to totally compromise their systems be?

All of my outsider knowledge indicates that none of the multi-billion dollar organizations can protect themselves from adversaries 1/1000th their size, and I would like to know if this is consistent with the knowledge of people with more direct firsthand experience. Thanks.

- Fight against sanctuary cities, including now support for a bill that would allow relatives of murdered US citizens who were victims of aliens protected by Sanctuary laws, to sue those sanctuary cities.

- Travel ban, which for me is a litmus test as to whether you are a "crazy leftist" by whether or not you actually think it's a "muslim ban."

- Stronger economy through less regulation

- Bring back jobs to US

- Rational trade deals that prioritize US, not sacrifice it. (China, USMCA, etc.)

- A general aversion to taking other first-world countries' shit, who simultaneously exploit us for money and protection, and say how horrible we are.

- Reversal of Iran deal

- Efforts to remove US from middle east

- Prison reform

- Drug price transparency

- "Drain the swamp" / exposure of the "deep state" / revelation that this concept is real and simple: the natural bias that occurs within government when there is a 90%/10% political imbalance. (Currently 90% democrat/10% republican.) This manifests as things like the Mueller report: based on a lie, started by hostile government actors, causes a shit-ton of political casualties who would not even be considered if they were on the other side, wastes everybody's time and money. And it is only possible for it to happen one way: against Republicans. This is transparent and obvious.

- 5 year foreign lobbying ban

- Repeal and replace Obamacare. (As an anecdote, my mom said that out of the whole 8 years of Obama as president, the only thing that really changed for her is that she paid more for insurance while receiving less, a direct result of Obamacare.)

- Space Force

- Supreme court justice

Totally agree. The locking mechanism provided by having a bicameral house with different representation criteria and the electoral college are definitely features since they require a far higher level of consensus (and different forms of consensus, both in number of people and number of places) to make changes than a simple majority of people.
