This isn't about racism anymore (and I doubt it ever was).

It's about imposing draconian penalties on anyone that doesn't yield.

They're interested in power - it's a naked power grab, and they shield it with their claims of vulnerability and powerlessness.
Who cares? It could be anything. Random descriptions add flavor. Bitcoin is also popular in China anyway.
The article touched on the discrepancy between internalized and externalized costs: The stores invested in securing their buildings’ air conditioners, but not in security systems that would improve the physical safety of their customers or employees.

This is pretty much completely anecdotal, and not very useful, to be honest.

The informal stuff doesn't work well. I'm guessing they went to buy their furniture off the informal buses during off peak hours. So they didn't have to deal with the crowds the majority of people have to deal with during regular rush hours, where you will find people hanging off the buses, and others struggling to get in. Sure, the bus may come every 5 minutes, but you may have to wait a few buses to get in.

Further, these are private buses. In the US you can get a cab exactly where you want that takes you exactly where you want. You could also "rideshare". The reason you dont have buses to do that in the US is because people can afford single occupancy cabs. What the person is really complaining about is the fact that the US is richer and things are more expensive.

A cab is a proper analogy to the private transport that is being compared to. And the real complaint is that earning dollars and then paying in dollars in the US is more expensive than earning dollars and then paying in local currency in the 3rd world.
I always assumed that the relatively high price of the Yubikey had more to do with it being a relatively niche product than the cost of production, after all it's not much more than a cheap microcontroller underneath all that.

Was I wrong to make this assumption? Why would FIDO tokens be significantly cheaper and/or more popular?

If anything it seems like at first it's going to fragment the market even more.
In the US, the truck and strong men exist, one just has to know where the local "day labour" hangout may be.
The open-source platform Crust releases version 2020.06 and removes paywall
We are lucky that we have the Internet Archive to capture and serve content for the public and give us access to some of these old sites that have gone dark. I wish that I had done these things with some of the private forums that I belonged to as a kid. Many important articles and conversations are gone now that I didn't care to think to save them at those times.

It is nice to see that old monikers of mine aren't indexed and easy to find, and yet it's also sad because I realize that much of that content I perceive as reflections of my younger self and thoughts which I know I cannot imagine again today. When I recall those memories I only recall my perception of events: words that were said; actions taken by others; the consequences of my actions. Yet, I can't repeat those exact thoughts because my identity has changed since then.

I identify with the Zillenial[0] term. I also grew up on Linux and Windows due to my dad's interests. That is one of the acts that I am so grateful of my dad for, because it led me to where I am today.

For me, the web has been an important pillar of my life as it's given me so many sources of information that have granted me knowledge, given opportunities to read deep thoughts and niche content, and improved my principles and views on life. I'm sure many people on HN can relate to that statement, young and old alike.

> macOS privacy protections are mainly security theater and only harm legitimate Mac developers while allowing malware apps to bypass them through many existing holes such as the one I'm disclosing

So this is just another abuse of the term "security theatre." Door locks, for example, are legitimate security. There are plenty of lock picking sets on the market. But that does not mean door locks do not work. TCC works because a casual user isn't trying to override it. But if it didn't exist then users would have no protection at all. It still comes down to the person sitting behind the computer is in complete command of it. And security knowledge is the best security you can buy.

Right, I meant “deep code signature” rather than “executable code signature”, thanks for the correction. I think macOS has a thing where it only checks the former the first time you launch an app and not after that, so you can scribble all over the resources and the system won’t care. Presumably this was thought to not be a big deal, but you showed a pretty good example of how you could launch a data-only attack on the privileges associated with the program :)

That’s not the entire story. If you value your health over that of all others, you will want to crush the car the others are driving in over its full length before the crushing of the parts of your own car where you are sitting starts.

That’s where having the sturdier car can help.

You also will want to be in the car that decelerates less briskly. That’s where, in collisions with movable objects, having the heavier car helps.

A heavy car without crumple zones from the 1950s that could kill you when hitting a wall at 20 km/hour might still be the safer car in a head-on collision with a much smaller car with a few meters of crumple zone (cars from the 1950s were incredibly unsafe, so I think this would require extra-ordinary circumstances)
Should've written Israeli
Another option is to measure the compression of the suspension springs and then use the spring rates and the suspension motion ratios to calculate the corner weights.

If course that would only give you the sprung weight, but you could jack up a corner and then weigh just the unsprung components with a single bathroom scale. (Subtracting any contribution from the spring, if it's still compressed at all.) Either that or remove and weigh a wheel and then estimate the rest.
"We've disabled old TLS connections and insecure cipher-schemes, so websites which used to work will now display an error" doesn't really sound like an improvement for the user. I'd rather see a warning detailing the situation and asking me if I want to proceed (maybe I don't care about encryption when visiting the particular site).
> It is an awful lot of registers for a feature that few programs may use

I was just wondering what you could do with 8KiB of register memory, if you ignored the intent of the registers outright (assuming you can load/store to the classical registers from these registers).
Do we really expect this to make a difference to China which has a long history with IP theft?

Forget theft, some of their IP regulations are just weird. I can file a patent in China even if there's prior IP or a patent elsewhere, just as long as I am the first one to file it in China. Good luck fighting this.
It might or might not be hard to compile for a different cpu. Intel lets you play fast and loose with mutil threaded code without as many race conditions. As a result code that works fine on Intel often randomly gives wrong results on arm. Fixing this can be very hard.

Once it is fixed you are fine. Most of the big programs you might use are already fixed. Some languages give you gaurentees that make it just work.

Isn't this a symptom of the exact testing procedure being a white box that rarely changes? Many students would score 100% on the ACT if the entire question and answer set were widely published.

Also that seems like a silly test. Couldn't you just measure the differential after mixing? TFA also mentions it, but noise is also a factor. For the water-heater example, the limited number of probes introduces a known amount of potential variance.

Rather than a straight % efficiency, a more useful number to report would include the confidence interval - Its 99% ± 3%. Consumers can't do stats but at least it's more honest. TFA touches on this but doesn't draw any conclusions other than "we need to look at the source data and do our own analysis".
You kinda get what you deserve when you spend what an iPhone costs on something that is not an iPhone.
Ditto. I've been full-time remote for a decade. This slight continual erosion of trust is something I've often observed - and commented on, including here not too long ago. Online-only interaction might work great for the constrained and voluntary tasks in an MMO, but not so much for the work we do in our careers. Even teams renowned for their prowess at remote collaboration often seem to rely on periodic in-person "summits" to maintain those connections. Even among introverts, true comfort with long-term fully-remote interaction is an outlier.
>For a long time, adult NHSTA and IIHS tests used a 1970s 50%-ile male dummy, which is 5'9" and 171lbs.
...
>For reference, in 2019, the average weight of a U.S. adult male was 198 lbs and the average weight of a U.S. adult female was 171 lbs.

So the average mass of the American male has increased 15% in 50 years! No data on whether he is taller, but I'd bet the BMI has gone up.
Indeed. We should never think that we are Intel's (or AMD's or IBM's) customers. They have a very short list - Dell, Lenovo, HP and, more recently, Google, AWS, Facebook and some of these are procuring directly from TSMC.
Rob Landley argues that a lot of the popularity was due to the fact that the FSF had a high bandwidth FTP site at a time when that was pretty rare, so people were willing to sign code to the FSF and license it GPL in order to have access to that distribution method: https://landley.net/notes-2010.html#19-07-2010

Obviously that particular advantage is no longer relevant.

Having been on the web since the beginning, I really wonder how much of this data really needs to be saved. Humans have survived until now without the need to keep a permanent journal of every little detail of every persons life. We do have historical luminaries whose works we save, but the harsh fact is that most people just aren’t special enough where we need to keep everything they generate.

We are now seeing that having old stuff resurface is largely detrimental. Back when it was just some photos in a shoebox, or a paper journal, the worst that could happen to your silly teenage ramblings was some embarrassment that you could quickly move on from. Now you face potentially losing your whole career and family because of some stupid thing you said one time when you were in a bad mood.

One of the most important functions of the brain is forgetting. If you were forced to remember everything, especially all the dumb stuff you did, your mind would be perpetually cluttered and you could never progress and grow. You only remember the significant stuff, and let everything else go.

The slow degradation of old sites is the Internet’s form of cleanup and forgetting, and it’s a natural part of the lifecycle.

>Finally, I would say that for more senior roles, jobs are not as easy coming as they are otherwise.

I went through this when my company was acquired. I led an Engineering team of about 30 people. About 6 months after we were acquired, the company moved its own people in and I got moved into an IC role after about 4-5 years of being "no code". At that point, I realized I had no interest in a) being the mentor for my new boss who was not technical and very junior and b) writing code any more. 15 years of coding was enough for me, so I moved on.
Can you give an example of a project, maybe a programming language ecosystem, that unifies some sort of publish-once, access-anywhere package system that uses those tools and works across Linux, Windows, and macOS?

I don't understand what that would look like in practice. Tools like Homebrew and MacPorts don't even do what you are asserting is the obvious, trivial way to do it. And I have a feeling it isn't just because my microbrain doesn't get it.

For example, I don't see how your post pitches something different than what I used to have to do with C/C++ deps and CMake back in the day, and those were not the hey days of dep management.

Also, enough with the animosity. When you find yourself registering a new account because you want to sneak in some venom when talking about software dep management on an internet message board, what are you doing?
yes that is one use case of digital assets like BTC: converting any international money transfer to a domestic money transfer, greatly reducing compliance flags, time and possibilities of banking errors that no bank wants to be accountable for and figure out themselves. often times leaving no record in payment networks like SWIFT, because only two local payment networks were used, one in their respective monetary union.

the cost is 100% tied to liquidity of that market. the bigger and deeper the market, the lower the transaction cost.

It is more likely that HKD's bitcoin market would be less liquid than USD's bitcoin market, so you would want your bank in Hong Kong to accept a USD deposit from a local OTC broker, and then convert to HKD at that point if you wanted or needed it.
It means that enough people flagged it, so it got flagged.

The motivation for flagging is probably something along the lines of "this surely will promote poor quality discussion".

Less visibility means less discussion.

> The very commonly given reason that DevTools are better in Chrome

I don't find that to be true. At least not anymore. I use both Chrome and Fx bout 50/50 for developing, and they each have something the other misses.

For instance, "preserve log" in Chrome's network tab throws away all the actual response data when moving to a new page. In Firefox it's there. So when debugging through our micro-frontend flow I prefer Fx.
Yes you’re right, and a big factor I didn’t think of is pollution.

The car accident death rate may be low enough that it’s really not worth mitigating against.

But also, I don’t mean Manhattan specifically. When I say “city” maybe you are thinking high rises. A neighborhood with predominately 2-4 story buildings can be incredibly walkable. You just have to stop designing everything to accommodate cars ahead of all else.
As a Chinese, I care.
I'd be more worried about the Elbonians
Thanks for providing more references. Maybe I'm dense, but where exactly is the bullying by the Chinese side? It seems to have gone from a claim that 7-8 Filipino fishermen besieged them, to them saying it was an accident and apologizing.

> Isn't that exactly what USA did to its Japanese citizens during World War II

It was, but eventually they got the dignity of an apology and a check to get their lives in the USA back on track.

The war in India also only lasted barely 2 months, to be held for 5 years seems excessive.

> But that's why nobody likes to go to war, isn't it? The first casualty of war is the truth.

Sometimes the loss of truth is placed before the lead up to war. I'm seeing a lost respect for truth (I'm not directing this at you) and I find it very concerning.

We describe our self as a unique PvE realm. You can focus on what interests you most, whether you’re a person who loves quests and want to get the Loremaster, as if you are a pve lover born and want to focus on the progression of you character. We consider it very important to complete the story of the characters, so those who are some achievement hunters will find here a perfect place to stay and accumulate the most achievements points possible or if you want, just explore the world. The PvE is one of the great qualities of WotLK you’ll enjoy it being as Casual or Hardcore Raider. If you are someone who loves the thrill of patches strictly you have the option of these kinds of challenges on our realm.
The BSicons are similar to the network tiles used in SimCity 4. The main work of transit modders there (Network Addon Mod) is to create additional tiles for different types of transit intersections.

It would be very interesting to see one of the OSS city builders pick up BSicons as a subset of their schema.
As a desktop user, my CPU tends to be mostly idle. So overall power efficiency is impacted a lot by idle power consumption; my AMD Ryzen CPU alone draws significantly more power in idle than my previous several-years-old Intel system. In fact, just the IO die alone draws almost as much power as some office PCs.

Agreed, I kept trying Chrome after it first came out and honestly it just never became my daily browser. I use it when developing but not because I think the dev tools are better, Firefox's dev tools arent that bad, I dont know what magical features people are missing, but they're all there for me.
They do not "take all the risk". In fact, they have none of the risk. If your money disappears, you can only recover $250K through FDIC insurance. For the rest you will have to get into a lengthy legal battle with the bank.

> the accept rate is about 10% after multiple rounds of review/revision

This is part of what I'm driving at here - "accepted for publication in this journal" is not the same as "peer reviewed". Broadly speaking when someone says that a paper has been peer reviewed, they only mean that a third party has examined the paper and certified that they did not find any significant issues with the methodology. The GP didn't say "this hasn't even been accepted for publication" - they said "this hasn't even been peer reviewed yet". Those are very different things!

I would see acceptance into a top-tier journal - or even a reputable journal - as a very, very strong signal.

I'm still curious what proportion of papers meet the bar for inclusion into a journal but are filtered out by the peer review process. I suspect it's vanishingly small.

> Then when you don't get accepted there you go to a 'just publish my paper' journal [...]

Right, which is why I always take the conclusions of a paper with a grain of salt inversely proportional to the prestige of the journal in which it was published. If I'm looking at a paper in Nature, I'm as confident as is reasonable that the conclusions of the paper are correct (or at least well-founded). If I'm looking at a paper that hasn't been published in a journal of any type, then I essentially discard their conclusion and consider the data and the author's analysis (with a healthy dose of skepticism).

In this case, even as someone who is definitely not a professional in the field, I identified what I believe to be glaring methodological errors: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23690529

Ciao Salvatore!! Hope to see you again soon in San Francisco! Onward and upward.

I am glad to read that you made a choice, as difficult as it might have been, and I hope it will make you happy (or happier).
I can't answer that. However, if you go to appleid.apple.com to create a new AppleID, you must use an existing email address.

When I create a new user account on the mac, it asks the new user if they want to create an AppleID. The default is to use their existing email address. You must specifically select an option to get an iCloud account. If you purchase an Apple device, you again have the option of an iCloud account or using your existing email address for your AppleID. Apple is not using some deceptive UI to get you to create an iCloud email address.

However, I guess you still feel it is somehow evil that Apple does allow you to get a free email account where the provider does NOT read your email content and use it to target ads at you. Suboptimal for Apple from a pure profit perspective.
