A lot of Christian democratic ideals basically fits into the description "market socialism without the red", usually sprinkled with socially conservative views.

It's notable that in a lot of Europe, the welfare systems we have today, for example, while they happened under pressure or fear of socialism, were pushed through with the help of Christian democrats.

E.g. Bismarcks pension and healthcare bills that effectively formed the first large-scale welfare system were blatant attempts at stemming the growing support for what he saw as dangerous socialist parties becoming a threat to the established order - while stealing some of their social policies he proceeded to ban dozens of groups and newspapers and arrest their leaders. But he passed those bills with the help of the conservative Christian "Zentrum", the forerunner of Merkel's CDU, by appealing to Christian values.
'Regime shift' is a fairly common term when talking in the context of time series.
Union, yes!

This is an old complaint going back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution at least. The US once had an 8-hour day and a 40-hour week. Now those are only memories.

You provide a valid point, but where's the hacker factor in choosing something readily available? 100k views for under $1 seems like the true hacker spirit, utilizing whatever AWS offers without breaking the bank.
A single round of SHA256 used as a master password is definitely NOT what you "should" do.

(I apologize in advance. I don't typically make comments like this on HN but I feel it really is warranted here.)

Key Derivative Functions (KDFs) have already been mentioned here in the comments.

By not using one -- and, perhaps more importantly, by 1) not even understanding why you should use one and 2) thinking that one round of SHA256 is what you "should" do -- well, to be blunt, your project just screams out "hacked together piece of shit made by someone who has absolutely zero business whatsoever making a password manager".

"Show HN"'s are to get feedback. As it stands, your project should not be used -- by pretty much anyone! It doesn't have to stay that way, though. Please take some of the good advice you've gotten in the comments here and improve your project so that it can safely be used.

The author says that he doesn't need a majority of the features Google Analytics has:

> I also realised that I wasn’t even using up to 10% of the features provided by the service. For the most part, all I cared about is the number of visitors, page views, and where visitors are coming from (search engines, social media e.t.c.) so all the other metrics that Google collects are not important for me.

But I agree, not everyone shares that thought. I believe that Matomo is the only real self-hosted alternative for more advanced analytics.

Are Intel just delaying the inevitable? Is it safe to say (even today) that a slow GPU will crunch big matrices faster than a fast CPU? And that's before we get to price/performance. So all that's left is the bottleneck around PCIe which, in theory, leaves the CPU with an advantage only for small datasets - which we don't really care about anyway (because they happen quickly).

Maybe the tradeoff is somewhere interesting from a latency perspective - SDR or similar. I dunno, am I barking up the wrong tree?
This is why we cant have nice things, you make a nice service with a direct download link that is static and shitty hackers use it because they don't want to host their own bins. smh.
Thinking about it, I think you're right: He felt invested, he felt in control. It was illusory. Perhaps his title hints at it, but the "how to give it up" is the falsity in the title. The illusory control needs to be recognised as never having existed.

The illusion of control and how to recognise you never had it

Maybe it was also my misreading: what he gave up was the illusion.

Sony's ANC isn't anywhere nearly as good as Bose's. I'm not a fan of Bose for anything other than aircraft headsets but the QC35 I is as good as consumer ANC gets.
It depends who you mean by "they". VPN services certainly have access to users' data. But it'd be commercial suicide to cooperate with authorities. HideMyAss lost considerable market share after it came it that they had pwned someone from LulzSec.

Still, it's prudent to assume that any VPN provider will give you up. And that's why I recommend using nested VPN chains. With three different VPN services, it'd be nontrvial for adversaries to obtain enough data.

Simple: C++ is a much more expressive language than either Rust or C. That is to say, you can write libraries in C++ that are wholly impossible in Rust or C, that encapulate semantics and optimizations that cannot be done in any other language.

There are sound reasons why the highest-paying development in all fields is done exclusively in C++: finance, aerospace, CAE, HPC, telecomms -- all are exclusively C++. Rust is not a blip there, and C is entirely dead (except some aerospace and telecomms).

Safety is not the driving force in systems development: capability is. C++ is simply more capable than C or Rust, and Rust is very far from mature. Given competent modern C++ coding practice, safety is just not a problem, in practice.

This is also true for software production: we have made writing and deploying software so easy to do that the rate at which training of software developers to produce PRs has outpaced the ability for systems either human or automated to handle managing the introduction of risk in all this new code.

This talk [1] by by Mark Sherman of the Software Engineering Institute at CMU is about as dark as the summary of injuries Tim presents in his post. He mentions there are on the order of hundreds of thousands of CVE reports that there are neither time nor money to triage.

There is no socialist philosophy that objects to centralization of power as long as it is kept in check and limited to it's usefulness

Even Anarchism doesn't say that no one should have outsized decision-making power. Just that it shouldn't be the same people every time, that there should be a good reason for it and that it should be kept in check. The old anarchist example was that of the pirate ship :)

Also, decentralized systems are not always less efficient than centralized systems. Sometimes they are much more efficient, it depends on what you are optimizing for exactly.

Indeed, centralized decision-making, while viable sometimes, need not be pluripotent, and it can be limited enough that it doesn't actually create a power imbalance. Many human societies actually operated in such a way.

If you actually wish to read up a bit more on that, I'd suggest in the extreme of reading up on anarchism. If you use debian, you should be able to apt-get install anarchism :)
Actually I just noticed this on Facebook too, especially comments on ads it will say "16 comments", but even when I select from the dropdown "All Comments" instead of "Most Relevant" I can count 10 comments.

So it's querying an API to ask how many comments there are, and getting a different result when it actually fetches the comments. So there's two different SQL queries somewhere I get that, but how can they diverge so much, is there a team assigned to "Queries that count comments before showing them" and a different team assigned to "queries that show comments" ?

It's just so frustrating as a developer to see the same broken behavior all over the largest web properties.
I guess a big part of it is that Scott just took the name from the Ginsberg poem and probably only did a quick lookup on who Moloch actually was (as he was more interested in Ginsberg's Moloch than in the Canaanite Moloch)?
A supermaneuverable U-2 would be... interesting. I wonder if that would reduce pilot workload or increase it? The engineer in me would suggest a robust automatic flight control system system instead, although considering how insane the procurement process can be, I'm admittedly not all that confident it would save money in the long run.

I meant that it's dubious whether we can reproduce a brain-like machine until we'll understand the matter well enough to either prove it possible or impossible.

Anyway, I feel like you. If it's been done once, it can't be impossible in any meaningful sense.

Further, the argument from lack of understanding would work only if knowledge (and science) could not advance any further; but that's tough to prove -- not to say that it's used over and over in faith vs. reason debates to the point it's become annoying -- so the argument is quite weak.

The difference is small in theory.

But in practice, the availability of postal voting is limited. For instance, in my country you can only vote via mail in country-wide elections that do not have the second round. The reason is that it would be impractical to print the ballots for the second round and send them out all around the world in the time between the rounds, which is typically 2 weeks. Also, the destination at which you can receive the ballots must be abroad. There is no support for in-country postal voting. As a result, the potential for larger-scale influence-based misuse is significantly reduced.

I don't see how it's possible to win ANC against loud, booming, tiny reproductive bits car stereos driving by wannabe cholos because the speaker size to produce phase-canceling mirror sound would have to be 10-12" / 25-30cm and placed probably on 3 sides minimum... say 12 speakers or 24 for all 6 sides. And the SPL of the ANC would need to be sized proportional to the most powerful car stereo one wished to block.
Lots of parents leave their kids home alone, even if they are underaged. Largely it works, but up to a year?

Lots of parents are willing for their kids to backslide a little, especially since most kids backslide together, rather than an emerging narrative of kids spending their summers cramming for placement tests. But a year? Some kids will be racing ahead because they're still experiencing personal math tutoring.

And what have Americans been doing in the time during lockdown? Have they purchased time? For example, in what ways is TX more prepared for the year ahead?

I guess we'll see which kids deserve to place into the best seats.

Does he? It doesn't seem like he's arguing they're really doing anything "wrong", other than being caught up in a larger societal process and doing what society is saying is good and rewarding:

> It’s important to realize that Amazon isn’t violating any rules, nor even (on the surface) societal norms. Waste is bad, efficiency is good, right? They’re doing what’s taught in every business school; maximizing efficiency is one of the greatest gifts of the free market. Amazon is really extremely good at it.

This idea that capitalist efficiency is not something to blame the capitalist for, but is an effect of the mode of production of society overall is really very much a Marxist idea, and yet like your assumption that Bray is berating Amazon, people tend to similarly believe Marx hated capitalists.

But like Marx praised capitalism into the skies for its efficiency yet criticised its bad sides, Bray is also pointing out that this efficiency has good sides. It's just that it also has bad sides, and we should worry that we blindly keep accepting the bad sides even as the toll it takes rises:

> It’s hard to think of a position more radical than being “against efficiency”. And I’m not. Efficiency is a good, and like most good things, has to be bought somehow, and paid for. There is a point where the price is too high, and we’ve passed it.
Well, kind of. cycle.travel runs on my fork of OSRM which does allow multiple profiles. But it still needs a separate hierarchy for each one, which would be another 14GB RAM.
Low-level work can often be measured in some way, and that's the kind of "efficiency" one can improve most easily. Whereas the whole point of having middle management in a firm is to deal with the many things that can't be measured easily,

As a society, "injury" (defined broadly to include software bugs as well as knee damage) has always been accepted for certain benefits. At some point we decide that the injuries are worth the cost of progress.

We send astronauts to space knowing that we will kill about 1 in 30 of them. We let thousands die on roads so we can move around cities quickly.

Everything we enjoy about modern society has a certain amount of injury risk.

We are constantly saying skew the bugs, let's see what happens.
The part about Amazon reminded me of one of the best quotes from Frank Herbert's Dune:

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

Yes, because the time and effort spent on the creation of the dishwasher is less than the total time and effort required to hand wash dishes, which means there's now a savings in resources when using the dishwasher, and that savings could be used for more productivity elsewhere (and perhaps producing an even more labour/resource saving device). This eventually avalanches into a state where the absolute minimum resources required are spent for a task, thus allowing more tasks to be done with the finite resources available. This translates to more wealth and quality of life.
On MacOS there is. I've remove teams from my mac so can't verify the exact setup, but in the notification settings (in teams) you can disable the banners but not the notifications altogether. I think the badge in the dock icon will be the number of new items in the activity panel.

But yeah, notification management is basically a pain in Teams. Not sure if it's still the case, but even on Windows 10 it would use its own notification window instead of the system one...
I have been considering giving up Google Analytics for my websites too, but the thing that stops me is that GA integrates really well with Google search engine, providing detailed info about which keywords were used to find your site.

Do other analytics services also provide this feature? If so, I'm curious of how the manage to do it without being integrated with Google.

Quoting Ernest Becker from his The Denial of Death:

"In man a working level of narcissism is inseparable from self-esteem, from a basic sense of self-worth. His sense of self-worth is constituted symbolically, his cherished narcissism feeds on symbols, on an abstract idea of his own worth, an idea composed of words, sounds and images, in the air, in the mind, on paper."

"It is natural for a man to strive to be a hero, it goes deeply in his evolutionary and organismic constitution, and yet the society gets chills when someone admits the honesty of it."
There is a broader point here: maximizing local efficiency in systems leads to greater fragility overall. The current COVID crisis highlights this very well with shortages due to global supply chains.
I'm pretty sure Moses was not in a union.
The article start with the example of to cleaners that takes a break at their job and that is seen as inefficient in today's society. But I say this is most a misuse of the word and understanding of efficiency. Taking a break is a stop in productivity short term(cleaning in this example). Efficiency can actually be better by a break, by boosting productivity long term and thus reaching the goal (clean streets) with higher quality.
Most management try to think scenarios in closed simplified systems with in- and outputs at a certain time, but by doing this the bigger picture is missed. For example: By neglecting the cleaners wellbeing (physically and mentally) the output may be good cleaning for a while but as times go with no break the wellbeing decrease and so the output.
I work in an environment where everything can be measured: emails sent, calls answered, CRM cases resolved, SMS sent and so on. I can even see if anyone went to the toilet at a particular time. And I simply ignore half of it. The jobs that are being monitored are already bad enough: monotonous, repetitive,and etc. And tbh, by ignoring half of all these metrics,I somehow have almost issue free workforce, as opposed to the other department that follows it by letter. Let's be efficient but let's not go completely crazy either.
Totally! And often, they're PDFs!
I feel like the idea that society has accepted software bugs for some other benefit is questionable, given that software has only had an impact on most people's lives for a relatively small period of time in relation to the amount of time humans have studied philosophy and ethics.

Edit: also I'm discussing security bugs where there are asymmetries in the risk profiles and threat models of actors and agents.
Unfortunately it's a cultural trait in Italy that people prefer to have been right all the time rather than working together for a common goal.

The MOSE project was heavily criticized from the beginning for a variety of reasons, ranging from the basic physics principles on which it works, to the engineering details, to the effects on the lagoon's ecosystem. It is generally claimed that there are cheaper "other methods" to achieve the goal of protecting the city from high tides, but it's not clear which they would be, how effective they would be, and what would be their environmental and visual impact.

In any case, a protest from the group opposing the construction of the MOSE on the day of its general test is absolutely ridiculous. These people cannot possibly be asking for anything concrete, they just hope that something will go wrong so they'll be able to say that they've been right all the time, Venice be screwed.

Illusion of the degree of control. Giving up agency and going towards external locus-of-control like people who say everything is "God's will" rather than proactively mitigating risks is another form of learned helplessness.
