> your distro would have an update out in a day, and you'd be completely safe

If you do not restart your services after updating the package, your services continue to run against the exact libs they were started with, even though the library is updated on disk and anything new that starts will use the fixed version. For something like the libc, that is pretty much every service bringing it in and still running the unpatched version of the library.

Updating distro packages is of course usually a good thing, but alone it does not make you "completely safe".

Also they have a patched version "in a day" because they embargoed public release of the vuln details usually for months, creating a gap where a (growing...) set of people know a secret that can compromise your system and you don't. When I get that update I don't feel "completely safe".
Thanks for pointing that out! Obviously I should have read the spreadsheet/link beforehand, but I hope linking the Twitter thread here directly also helped some people as well.
The vast majority of important OpenSSL bugs _are_ security bugs, no?
Radio, whether local or via LEO satellites, absolutely can beat fiber. Routinely. That is much of the value proposition of SpaceX's product.

Microwave links from Chicago to New York claimed hundreds of millions in investment exactly on the prospect of selling reduced transit time at a premium. Similar gains on the New York - London channel, via Starlink, would be much more valuable.

The reason fiber is slow is that the signal does not propagate in a vacuum. It loses 30+% of the speed of signals propagated through air or vacuum.

Where fiber wins is on bulk bandwidth. A radio link has limited capacity, but it can get the first few packets through soonest. Starlink might start out with some pretty draconian tradffic caps.

I have heard of hollow-core fiber, where the beam travels in what amounts to a tube in the middle of the fiber, but I don't know of any deployed.
Please note that I did not even say anything about taking the leverage, only a about signing up.

Power tools have safety feature; the leverage tool should, too. AFAIK Robinhood won't allow you to make a naked call, you have to show that you have enough to pay. Either their safety feature failed (very bad, needs fixing and constant checking), or the poor trader used something else as a collateral, and that could be an important part of the tragic outcome.

> It’s not obvious to me that enforceable copyleft licences have increased the availability of free software to such an extent as to outweigh the loss of freedom effected by normal copyrights.

I think this was probably more of a critical mass sort of thing. Historically, it seems like copyleft licenses (and perhaps even GCC's horribly byzantine internal architecture) probably played a key role in getting free software off the ground. Once you have sufficient mind share though it no longer seems to be as necessary.
And there you have it. When drugs were affecting the inner city it was all about “lack of morality” and being “tough on crime”. But when it started affecting “rural America” it was “let’s blame the drug companies” and “treat it like a disease”.

I doubt people in the inner city or the people who “fit the description” wouldn’t feel the same way about the “War on Drugs”.
This isn’t technically correct when Flatpak is installed via your distribution. Then it is managed by your packaging system and it’s data should live in a /var/lib.

/opt is for software that doesn’t adhere to the FHS and can’t/shouldn’t be installed in a prefix. Red Hat and Arch install software to /opt via their official package managers. /opt isn’t safe to stick arbitrary software even though it’s commonly used for that — /opt/local is the non-FHS equivalent of /usr/local.
>Because speculative trading is a zero sum game, it creates no wealth.

Speculative trading is a key component of markets. People speculate that X is undervalued, so they invest in X, this gives X more resources, so resources are allocated based on what people think has most potential for growth. People who continuously make bad predictions get filtered out of the market, so "what people think has most potential for growth" comes to approximate "what has most potential for growth", and we get efficient resource allocation.
It's worth noting hundreds of police officers lose their life a year in the line of duty: https://www.odmp.org/search/year and many more than that receive serious injuries, even permanent spinal damage:

One cop was paralyzed from the neck down in Vegas protests: https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/06/14/police-officer-shot-...

Retired police chief killed at 77 by looters in St. Louis: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/500839-retired-st-l...

A federal agent was killed in Oakland in connection with the protests: https://patch.com/california/alameda/fbi-ids-federal-agent-4...

The one-sided narrative against cops is getting out of hand. It's an extremely dangerous job and you cannot treat gangsters with kid gloves while they pack serious weaponry. It's a joke to talk of nerfing or defunding the police for the handful of bad incidents that occur meanwhile over 15K people a year are murdered in the country. It's completely disproportionate and not aligned with statistical reality: cops often have to make split second life or death decisions and they don't get a second shot.
I agree with you, it's just that the one that I'd question would be the obverse. That is, student loans should either be dischargeable by bankruptcy or just not extended. If a lender can't make money in that asset class, they should fold. If that means it leaves the government the lender of last resort, that's how things should be. If that means the asset class implodes and it can't prop up a mispriced commodity, then so be it.

Ironically, I get the sense that the implosion is probably going to come less from it being a previously bloated, overpriced commodity than for now being a perceivably fraudulent one -- IE, students are (justifiably) heated about having to pay the equivalent price of a home to take a glorified webinar from "Zoom University" -- and who can blame them, really?

Now, back on topic -- what happened here was tragic. At some point, Robinhood is going to get actually sued by someone who expects peer level performance (IE TD/tastyworks/etc). It'll be interesting to see what happens there. And, it'll be interesting to see if they are sued (successfully) here. But, nothing is going to bring this young person's life back. How utterly harrowing. We hear so often about deaths of despair as a coded reference to opiate deaths. I know that suicide is a really major risk for startup founders when things go sideways (as well as gamblers), so seeing a new version of that makes me (despite the desensitization of the present moment) experience a new, unique kind of sadness. I hope this poor young man's soul rests in peace.

Apologies Dan
Read a bit and wasn't sure of the exact nature of the 700k loss, but if he somehow got access to all that credit without the assets to back it it, it would seem like people can form a pact, where person A gets credit and bets X on a thing, person B bets the counterparty -X, have X be comically large, one person gets the payoff while the other declares bankrupcty, and basically "gain X/2 for enduring bankruptcy". (We can have some variation to sweeten the pot, where the losing person gains X/2+C, winner gains X/2-C, where C= some additional money to deal with bankruptcy hassles.)

Presumably this doesn't actually happen since it's doable, so I'd be curious what -700k losses practically means.

You bring up a good point: far more black people are killed by other black people than are killed by cops (white or black). But we don't hear about it, demonstrations are rare and news is non-existent.

It would be a significant improvement if black people quit killing their own. And it would save far, far more lives than were all police to never kill another black person. But it is completely the responsibility of blacks to quit killing other blacks.
This! Thank you for this 100% spot on comment!
But the possibility exists. That you can make money by simply trading stocks, without actually putting much in too much work and time (outside of research and education).

I have a hunch, just a feeling, that the powers that be prefer that we normal people not know about how they make money by simply trading around stocks with excess money they have laying around.
If you are concerned about indoor CO2 concentration, the answer is to ventilate the place.

No reasonable amount of plants will keep a house stable.

If it's just really curiosity, well, people have been scrubbing CO2 since space travel is a thing. Wikipedia was completely unhelpful to me, but I remember there is a mineral with high CO2 selectivity that you can simply push the air though it.
This is something bail funds in Philly track, and I'm guessing bails funds in other cities do too! Many cities committed to some degree at the beginning of the pandemic to reduce arrests / setting bail for minor crimes. (how well they've done that is often a matter of debate).

The situation in local jails became a big issue at the beginning of the pandemic. I would reach out to a bail fund in your city (or read more on their web page) to see if there are useful ways to help their broader mission, which will include protestors :).

It is interesting to speculate about how a technology affected the zeitgeist, and directly or indirectly influenced subsequent work. My first programming language was APL, and it profoundly influenced how I think about programming. Lately I have been using numpy, and it feels awfully familiar to me! The authors of numpy acknowledge the influence of the APL/J school of thought on numpy. Have other people noticed the deep similarities between numpy and APL? (I will admit, words attributed to C.A.R. Hoare about Algol 60 have come to mind frequently: "Here is a language so far ahead of its time, that it was not only an improvement on its predecessors, but also on nearly all its successors.")

"each book in a library displaces more than one private sale"

There's no way to prove this. You can't just look at someone borrowing a book from a library and say they would have bought it had the library not been there, They might just have never read the book.

>If Robinhood was really about doing what it claims to do, the app would have 3 tickers, QQQ, SPY, and DIA.

Is that what robinhood is supposed to be? A conservative retirement savings portfolio? Sure, the app store tagline says "Invest. Save. Earn.", but the listing also mentions highly speculative instruments like cryptocurrency and derivatives. It also promises access to "real-time market data" and "relevant news articles" which is only needed when you're taking on an active management style. Clearly the app isn't designed as something you chuck money into now, and withdraw a few decades later.

>By it's very nature, the people who end up in Robinhood, who wouldn't be able to get "into" other brokrages

The reason why they wouldn't "get into" the other brokerages is because they transact in such small amounts that they'll lose most of their capital on trading fees. I don't see anything wrong with letting people make small trades that they wouldn't have otherwise been able to make.

>And when you put money in, it'd warn you that you should be ready to leave that money there for at least 5 years.

I think every high school student should have one day class dedicated on following topics and so many lives would be saved:

1. Folies of investments, how you can lose everything.

2. Folies of marriages, divorce laws and how you can lose everything.

3. Folies of gambling in casinos and how you can lose everything.

4. Folies of alcohol, tobacco and other soft drugs and how you can lose everything.

Each of these class should be given by 2-3 people who actually lose everything in these cases.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I wrote my reply assuming you meant DNS-over-TCP not DNS-over-TLS. Duh, sorry. Should have been obvious from context.

Yeah DNS-over-TLS is safer in this regard and provides equivalent network-path protection. DoH is kind of a garbage protocol but it's a concession to the fact that a lot of "real" networks are broken and HTTP(s) is the only thing you can rely on being able to transport.

Since DNS-over-HTTPS goes over proxies and uses port 443, it'll "work by default" in a larger variety of networks than DNS-over-TLS.

CloudFlare have made the argument that DoH "blends in" better with regular HTTPS traffic but I don't really buy that when everyone just uses the same few recursive resolvers.
Possibly. Anecdotal, of course, but I pretty much consistently don't want to communicate with anybody before 3 PM, whether in person or digitally. Now late at night, however, I'm a total social animal.
One issue with carbon fuel is air pollution, we have seen during the pandemic that getting people out of cars is a big part of solving that.

Re water, in addition to filling dams with desalinated drinking water we could also refill aquifers that are being emptied by overconsumption of water (often leading to intrusion of saline water into the water table and associated problems).
There are two appearances of the word "post-human". First is in the title and the second is in a paragraph that does not define it. I don't know what "post-human" means after reading the article. Seems like a word that could mean anything to justify whatever claim the author is making. This makes me suspicious of this author in general.

Policing is not a dangerous job.

According to the FBI, which publishes the data in the Uniform Crime Reports, from 1980–2018, an average of 85 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed per year.

It’s not roughly equivalent. I often look at the free previews on Amazon and Google Books to check print citations or read a few pages from a chapter of interest, but usually the pages I want to read are unavailable. An online equivalent to bookstores is not possible because there’s no way to glare at a customer for treating the store as a library.

Either you can embed an image and place it as an hyperlink (so clicking will open the video in a new tab) or using iframe tag. I was just wondering how was this feature implemented in your markdown.

Also, for some reason YouTube embedded markdown files when exported missed out the whole section including video link and text following it.

IMO it's quite perfect the way that is now and I would suggest keeping it categorised the way that Springer has categorised it.

But if you still decide to create your own categorisation of the books, I think you should have two different views; the Springer categorisation as the default view and your own categorisation as an alternate view.

What's your source for your claim that Trump's base does not care about warrantless spying? You can see an example of priorities in coverage and reaction to the recent defeat/delay of the FISA re-authorization in the House.
