> WW1 was a total war. Fascism was a response to total war which conscripted every civilian into the military.

WWI was a contributing factor to the rise of fascism, which is a complex phenomenon whose roots date back at least to the late 1800s with the rise of nationalism throughout Europe, the unification of Germany, the growing distrust of liberal democracies at the turn of the century, etc. It was not a "direct result" of WWI.

> Italy did not have an army of 500,000 soliders before WW1, no country did. The british empire's armed force was 80,000 -- and was one of the largest in the world. Where do you think 500,000 "soliders" came from? They were drafted from the population.

WWI was unparalleled in magnitude with respect to previous wars, but, as far as Italy is concerned, it did not involve directly the vast majority of the civilian population (around 34M at the time), which was never in a war zone or at risk of atrocities from the opposing force. The fighting was confined to the northeastern Alpine regions of Trentino, Veneto and Friuli. The Austrians made a small advance into the Italian territory before being decisively defeated on the Piave river. The industrial and agricultural heartlands of the country were largely intact at the end of the war, no major urban centres were captured or destroyed, and important land gains were made in the form of new territories formerly under Austrian control.

WWI was hell on Earth in the trenches, but no, Italy was not in disarray and did not experience mass death or poverty as a result of WWI.

(There were of course serious economic issues in the interwar period, but their genesis is in the great depression, not WWI)

> I'm British and I know my own history very well. Read any book of the time, "Road to Wigan Peer" will give you the quality of poverty.

Life has been shit for most people for millenia, in Europe and elsewhere. But just take a look at any graph of the life expectancy over time in Europe and you will see that is has been steadily improving throughout the 20th century (with a couple of big temporary down spikes for the flu and WW2 - not WW1).

EDIT: I associated the name Cloudflare with the main product. I forgot the context of this being about DNS and therefore my comment is about Cloudflare CDN not 1.1.1.1

> Cloudflare is harmful to independent CDN's.

Cloudflare is a competitor to CDNs. You don't need to use a CDN with Cloudflare, they proxy your content fully and do caching along the way as needed.

> Their privacy claim is a lie because your webserver is going to be exposed to the end user i.p. address anyways after resolving from the nameserver.

It's not a lie. Cloudflare is the nameserver, and the CDN. So after resolution the end user still has just a Cloudflare IP.
Supreme Court Says Rejected Asylum Seekers Have No Right to Object in Court
The only reason public figures don't reasonably have that expectation is because so many people are willing to break the law to leak their personal data. That this happens so often is not a valid justification for it happening.
It is still possible to disable secure boot using csrutil. Apple has never officially supported booting Linux on a Mac.

There's no reason to believe that Windows will run in a VM on a Mac with Apple silicon anyway. I don't believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Apple has said anything about Rosetta 2 emulation applying to an entire VM. I have to believe that would be dog slow in any case.

And lacking that, standard x86 Windows isn't going to run. And even if there were a version of Windows which worked--by no means a given even if there's an Arm version for the Surface--none of the standard Windows apps would run. So I'm not sure what use running Windows on a Mac is doing to be to anyone in that case.
No. I mean if you spill Uncle Sam secrets and make a high ranking politician lose face - make sure you are in a country where USA cannot reach you.
Apple has been pretty consistent with where their priorities are. Simple, controlled and high margin. They hope you as a user aligns with those but they have enough money and iPhone sales not to care - you will buy one if you need everything integrated and have to make money developing iOS and Mac store apps.

If I had money I would buy Apple stock - they got it down good strategy wise.
Show HN: Single binary memory usage plotter
Shame. I have installed Linux Mint on my MB Air and it does works quite well. It boots very quickly and even fails to come back from sleep no less infrequently than High Sierra itself.
From the linked blog, an example of how to copy a 4-letter string from a constant string into a new heap-allocated string:

HBufC* heapbasedFred=HBufC::NewL(4);
TPtr fredPtr(heapbasedFred->Des());
_LIT(KFred, “fred”);
fredPtr.Copy(KFred);

I had forgot it was this bad.

It's kind of weird that Symbian calls these descriptors, but the actual types and macros don't use that word at all — they are HBufC, TPtr and _LIT.

I think you might be reading too much into what's a tiny snippet of video - he's asked about Boot Camp and says something like "we're not direct booting an alternate operating system".

It seems a stretch to hear that as "Apple will not allow (or will ban) booting to other OS". I hear it as "there is no Apple software for booting other OSes on ARM".

It remains to be seen whether Apple will take advantage of this change to introduce some tighter, secure boot type controls that might impact the ability to boot other OSes. I can see that happening, but more as a side-effect rather than an insidious plan to mess with all 0.003% (or whatever) of their user base that currently dual boots Linux.

>> where we are censoring completely benign words

Are you saying in any context? That's not the proposal as i read it.

>> >> Could you just say

>> censoring

For censoring to be the case, it must be that you can't use particular words.

I read the case as

1. the GP's post expressing a desire to show heightened care to a reader
2. your parent posting a possible solution

Taking this to an extreme, if both behaviours above were to become a social norm then some words in some contexts would become extremely frowned upon to the point that you would personally choose not to use them.

They'd still not be censored though. Documents would continue to be written with the offensive terms by those who seek to offend. The words would be used in the socially unacceptable way in service of making a stronger point.
Correct, its a horticulture driven innovation (makes it more cool IMO).
This is awesome news. Every architect I know uses Macs with dual boot since cad software isn't supported by Macs. Now they won't bother with the MacBook at all. Given how Orwellian Apple has become, I'm excited for their downfall.
Really well thought system level engineering.

I was thinking to shift to Surface Book 3 but i think i should wait until end of this year.
We need an archive for the archive.

Was thinking about this when dwelling over archive.is's habit of blocking Cloudflare DNS users due to Cloudflare not sharing specific types of identifying info on user traffic. I like archive.is but that practice smells so funny it makes me believe the entire site will go dark or paywalled/private in time.

In contrast to the greasy nature of archive.is the owner of archive.org is a data nerd in the purest form. This guy archives, he makes other people want to archive. Archive.org has been such a smashing success that its now too large for it's own good.

We need more alternatives, in the same vein and spirit as archive.org. Please keep all venture capitalist/disruption/innovation agitators away from making the issue over complex or stilted towards a commercialized end game. Just archive.
What judgement? This is an indictment. If the government can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and he is convicted, then that would be a judgment. These are simply charges that Assange would face if he is ever extradited to the US.
Trend Micro is really good, we had to use it and i was quite impressed on Linux and Windows (for a Antivirus), for the MS-Antivirus, just disable 'Automatic sample submission'

EDIT: But to be honest, Antivirus is just Old-school protection, it never detected anything outside 'already known viruses', Snort/Suricata on the other hand detected quite often that something is going on.

EDIT2: With "quite impressed" i mean, the performance was not much worse
For hobbyists, a big blocker is that one needs a Mac just to export for it. This probably isn't an issue for profitable companies, but $400+ for a MacOS device is a big ask for indie devs making games in their free time.
If you read the replies, that only loosens secure boot enough to allow downgrading to older Apple-signed versions of their OS. It doesn't let you run unsigned code.
So that implies no support for VMWare ESXi on ARM macs, too, I guess?
> I welcome this move. PaX/grsec had an option to block MSR accesses for years.

On recent kernels, MSRs writes are disabled by default even by the upstream kernel when the kernel is in lockdown mode (like when using Secure Boot).

> If tools like this come to Linux, it'll make it significantly easier for many organizations to start complying with these mandates.

You said a lot more than you probably intended. Microsoft created the Microsoft-loving, Linux-hating trade press in the 90's. Consultancies fell into line, and started pushing the theory to uncritical IT management that if you had a computer connected to the corporate network, it had to run a virus scanner. Period; full stop. Regardless of operating system.

I've never met anyone in corporate IT who actually does the math, and determines whether a particular threat vector is worth the cost of the preventative measure. The philosophy in the 3 Fortune 250's I've worked for has been: if it exists, it must be purchased/used/applied. In the 90's, yes, every WINDOWS computer connected to the corporate network needed the corporate AV running on it. Linux? Mac? Not so much. Even if they managed to get compromised, the chance that they would infect a neighboring computer were very small. These odds didn't justify the expense or the hassle of needing them to slaved into the corporate AV solution, no matter how much Microsoft diverted attention away from the very special problem that Windows has always posed from a security standpoint, how much they paid the trade press to paper over it, and how much they partnered with consultancies to push that line. They didn't care about the mainframe, did they? They didn't care about the Unix workstations, either. But Linux? It was the devil.

We have come full circle. Microsoft is trying their hardest to astroturf the message that WSL enables a lot of development workflows for which Windows has been a poor choice of late, and this requires them to "love Linux." So now Microsoft MUST release their Defender product for Linux, in order to be taken seriously BY THE VERY CULTURE THEY CREATED. As a guy who run Linux on the desktop for 19 years, and got my corporate IT (in the 90's) to consider Linux all the way to the point of them looking into a virus scanner for it (finding that Symantec didn't support it, and dropping the idea), the irony here is both delicious and sickening at the same time.

As I keep saying, I'll believe Microsoft "loves" Linux they day they create Office and an AD client for it.
My son and I were both long time Windows Phone users. It never gained the public acceptance required to survive, but I don't know anyone that used it for any length of time, that does not miss it. The UI was very intuitive and it just worked for me. My brother is still running it on his Nokia phone, that seems to be lasting forever. I am not sure which model it is, but the camera on it is fabulous. I wish I had picked one of those up.
Yea how are they even flying? Haven't read the article but I guess it's one of those things where the operator had the skills but isn't getting official stamp from some institution because of some agenda of creating artificial shortage or asking for money for stamp?

These guys probably know how to fly right? Is flying very small part of overall pilot certification?
Also important to remember: the supposed "rape charges" turned out to have been fabricated by the swedish police. There never was an actual rape accusation against him.
Security through obscurity (or security by obscurity) is the reliance in security engineering on design or implementation secrecy as the main method of providing security to a system or component. Security experts have rejected this view as far back as 1851, and advise that obscurity should never be the only security mechanism.

A couple of my favorites in this line of thought: David Bull of Mokuhankan (Japanese woodblock printing), Leo of Sampson Boat Co (rebuild 110 year old gaff cutter). They are both very knowledgeable in their field and take efforts to produce good content at their own pace as part of a long running objective.

Regarding your point of there being a sea of trash, check out David Bulls video "Its not garbage" where he argues that out of all the garbage in our society, woodblock printing is something special.

Sorry to say, but even in Australia the combination of SC, AR, TN leaves me worrying. There's a lot of dark history associated with those states that the world has known about for years. That's without taking the "R" into account.

Sometimes I think the USA should have it's own history A/B compared against it's own history as recorded by the rest of the world.

Not saying it's Tiananmen level yet, but it seems some people haven't read their own history.

Disclaimer: I live in NSW, Australia. Some evil stuff happened here that is rarely acknowledged.
> It's also very visible in games. For example in Dungeons and Dragons each character has 2-axis "alignement" - you can be any combination of lawful/neutral/chaotic and good/neutral/evil.

Note that D&D got this from Michael Moorcock [1], who is a British sword and sorcery author, and in whose works being Chaotic or Lawful is much less clear-cut, morally speaking. So I m not sure that D&D is a good example of "American thinking".

Love it when I could swipe the cards from the deck with headlines I don't care about.
I work at a similar cybersecurity company and I can almost guarantee this is the case. Company policy will be to put an AV on everything, and the CSO/procurement always prefer a one size fits all solution so they only have to deal with one vendor. How well it works on Linux is secondary to the fact that it makes it easy for them to hit all the checkboxes in compliance reports.
His short story “Sort by Controversial” was also quite excellent.
Yeah but, 1/ not a journalist, 2/ member of a huge killers club, 3/ propagandist of religious numbness contrary to the diffusing of facts and contrary to the useful understanding of the world's mechanics.

So he was totally not helping people know the truth, as a journalist would be, and instead he was totally trying to kill or help killing people and destroy civilizations.

Also, this was the context of war, on a war field (and with a terrorist organization).

My guess is that the CPU will fault if you try to directly write them from a user mode process. You could do that via the MSR kernel driver but it'd be the kernel doing it in kernel mode.

As I understand it, Apple have specifically said that Rosetta 2 emulation will not support VMs at all.
She was trying to get a faculty member at a local university fired for saying something offensive on Twitter.

The thing with situations like this is that it's not that the crowd is reporting that a crime has been committed. It doesn't even matter what was said, it's just that thousands of people are threatening that they will boycott their product. Companies and organisations just need to realise that those people were never their customers anyway and will have forgotten about it tomorrow. A Twitter campaign to get an employee fired should be treated as no more than a DDoS attack and mitigated the same way.
War certainly destroys somethings, but in other ways it spurs invention -- radar, cyrptography, jet engines, computing were all products of world war 2.

And sometimes destroying leads to improvements - the blitz destroyed a lot of slum housing in the London east end, which was rebuilt en mass in a way that wouldn't have been possible without the widespread destruction.

Massive losses felt across the population in the UK led to a national unity and a desire for improvement of everyones lives, leading to things like the welfare state and healthcare for all.

Looking further back in history, the US war of independence is deemed to have had desirable outcomes.

You can still think war is a failure but acknowledge that it can lead to benefits as well as drawbacks.
I was under the impression that a certain GOP Presidential candidate served the same purpose, and that did not turn out well.
True, but typically it's your standard white collar sociopathy, though, not literal horror movie-level obsessive stalking and abuse. Even aside from the obviously horrendous ethics, this sort of behavior is just incomprehensibly outlandish and grotesque. It's not only psychopathic but literally psychotic.

I hold the relatively new opinion that being a fanboy, of any company, is no longer a tenable position. There are no good guys, there are no bad guys, they're just corporations.

I'm currently reading The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek, and he talks about exactly that: is your game finite or infinite? If infinite (like any business), there is no "winning" in that kind of "game" because there are so many standards by which one could say he beats the competition (win): is it market share, cashflow, valuation, innovation?...

Symbian was probably right about how it was handling of security, but it "lost" by disappearing from the game.

> “Unlike other manufacturers, Tesla doesn’t grant us permission to survey its owners in 15 states where it is required,” Doug Betts, president of the automotive division at J.D.

Exactly. Unless you already have an established connection to a potential enterprise customer with the influence to get you in, you're probably not going to be playing at that level for at least several years.

Fortunately, you also probably don't want to be, because it would mean investing many resources in a months-long sales process with no guarantee of getting anything out of it at the end. Unless you have huge amounts of funding to burn through, your money is probably better spent on activities that generate revenue more quickly and build up a sustainable cash flow in the early days.
>telling me that I'm wrong when I say it was mostly comprised of recognised far right groups

I'm not trying to tell you that you're wrong or that far right groups didn't attend and I'm sorry if it came across that way, I was hesitant to even make a reply for fear it would come across as a defence of groups I'm ideologically opposed to over protests I don't agree with. The only point I wanted to discuss really was the Nazi salutes since 'protestors defending Churchill statue perform Nazi salute' seems to be the sticking point of social commentary on the counter protests, but the supposed video where it happens is questionable. But I'm happy to be proven wrong on that, just like I was the involvement from Britain First which is why I edited the post, so again sorry if it seems like I'm trying to downplay their involvement.
I suspect it's not entirely a mistake. When Tesla offered to let workers take unpaid leave, they probably didn't mean for it to last until "when covid-19 is over" as these workers wanted.
Given that the only Macs to have ever made it onto the VMware HCL are a couple of older models of Mac mini, and ESXi isn’t even available on ARM at this stage, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
