Lol same idea... except that the morning commute was getting coffee. There were 2-3 places near me, and a 4th that is kinda far, so I'd throw in an extra around-the-block if I went to a closer one.

I think you're proving GP's point. The very thought of conceding that there may be a positive side to Christianity (anything! no matter how small!) has you going on about its "unarguable ethical and social flaws." These may indeed be grave. But this don't even begin to justify your implicit contention that there is no positive side to Christianity.

I think the truth is actually pretty obvious: Christianity had both good sides and unarguable ethical and social flaws.
Any example ? or an idiom name I can google ?
I think a good liar is just exceptionally good at convincing themselves that what they're saying is the truth. I think that even better liars are so narcissistic that they basically believe what they say as it's coming out of their mouth, on account of it being them that is the one saying it.

I say all of this as a horrible liar.
Something I've been thinking about, after seeing enough "older than we thought" pieces, is how our incomplete fossil record has an inherent asymmetry in it - new discoveries can never give us a later date for when something appeared, but they can give us an older date, so our "present" understanding of the past has an inherent bias towards assigning too late of dates for things. I don't know what implications this has for the nuances of our understanding of the history of our planet (I'm sure scientists are aware of this and generally take this into account), but it's kind of intriguing.
Funnily enough so must have Kim Lyons, the author of this piece, because five paragraphs in we have:

It seems Canon did not have a backup, they had replication of data. If you are storing data for money, then this is a professionally negligent behavior. Not being able to prepare for everything is not an valid excuse to not prepare for what you reasonably can.

There is a difference between being critical of something and hating it. And if you want to change a system, there are not many ways to do so without interacting with it.

Say you happen to be born into a communist regime but dislike communism. Getting out of it might not be feasible for any reason ranging from not being allowed to, not having the means, to not wanting to leave your community behind. No matter if you now want to completely tear down the predominant social-economical systems or just tweak them, either way you going to have to interact with them.

If you want to destroy capitalism, hacker news is probably not the most promising place to start. If your goal is to tweak it I actually think it is.
Show HN: A branching, text-based game hidden in the cloud
You stumble down a forest path. Above you, trees blot out the sun. The trees have craggy branches and ugly names: impostor syndrome, production outage, technical debt. You're searching for Cloud Castle, but it's nowhere to be found.

Far down the path, you glimpse an ancient wizard approaching. Multicolored symbols cover his robe. Many are foreign to you, but you do recognize the Kubernetes logo. Instinctively, you cower in fear.

The wizard hands you a priceless EMERALD. "Do not be afraid. You control your destiny," he intones. "But to escape this wilderness and reach the cloud, you must collect a few more gems of wisdom."

He gestures toward a fork in the path. "Compute or storage? Which will you learn?"

"I...I don't know," you whisper. "But I can't stay here any longer."

The wizard lifts his hand in farewell. You don't notice that his fingers are crossed.

If you choose the storage path, use your AWS CLI to examine the S3 bucket cloud-adventure-bucket for further clues.

If you choose compute, create an Amazon EC2 instance from the public AMI ami-03e669e72372a5691 in the us-east-1 region and explore the root volume.
Polygraphs are there to create a high-stakes stress/interrogation situation to see if someone cracks or reacts. It's more of an art form than a science -- and that's why it's not admissible as evidence in a criminal investigation (and shouldn't be)

The rationale for continued use in clearance screenings is that it's not scientific, but it's better than nothing.
I really wish I could write Zig for DOS, but LLVM can't seem to handle putting out 16-bit segmented memory binaries. There is some hope as Zig introduces more support for alternative backends at least, but the point is that modern languages with cross compilers sadly eschew these historic platforms even while supporting esoteric embedded architectures.
Competence (IMO) plays a role for a short while. Netflix may have been especially competent early on, but that doesn't matter anymore. Streaming is a commodity. Now they have to compete in other spheres. Hence the exclusive content strategies.

I'm sure there was a time when printing newspapers was technically hard. You needed chemistry, mechanical engineering... Some people/companies probably succeeded by being good at it. Eventually though, printing becomes a commodity. Being competent doesn't matter anymore. You buy a machine. The machine is competent.

I agree on the competition point. We know the game at this point. The difference between owning 25% and 5% is not 5-to-1. It's 100-to-1. All the returns are tied to centralisation, bottlenecks.

It looks like Netflix and the old studios will meet in the middle. A cluster of content generation & platforms. They'll eventually find an equilibrium where the major compete more modestly, focusing mostly on keeping out newcomers.
What’s the difference between replication and backups? Is the distinction that backups must be stored on separate infrastructure, whereas replication might still be 1 or 2 points of failure?

I think JetBrains thinks too much of themselves, fueled with Google wind, they are now trying to turn Kotlin into a platform of their own, and as proven by Kotlin/Native, their expertise is really just making IDEs.

Too many recurring memories from Borland of yore with Delphi, when I see how JetBrains is trying to push Kotlin.
the easiest thing would obviously be to comply with the rules even if they seem completely unfair. However in the long run, i think most developers understand what is at stake here, and support the decision.

Maybe the reason Apple customers don't care is because their machines give them less trouble? And they have more disposable income?

Not defending Apple here (my next computer is definitely not going to be Apple), just trying to understand how Apple users think.

The thing that sucks is other industries/companies copying Apple. Lenovo computers are increasingly becoming harder to repair. Expensive, big machines like tractors are being locked down etc. Samsung made fun of apple when they removed the headphone jack but now Samsung and everyone else is doing the same, trying to squeeze more money out of the customer, airpods style.

Maybe we should make a list of repair friendly, environment friendly and customer friendly hardware and stick only to those.

What a game dev learnt after he tried blogging for two months straight
I don't think wanting to teach your kids to be racist, and keeping them away from ideas that might challenge that, is a very good reason to homeschool.

It's important that kids grow up knowing that there are different people out there, with different backgrounds, different ideas, different skin colours, and indeed that some people have been treated differently in the past, and often still are. A too sheltered upbringing is not doing your kid any favours.
> At this point it just looks as a random wish that Apple implements your ideas. Sorry, no one is obliged to implement your wishes as you see them fit.

You don't understand what I'm saying, and I don't know how to say it any more clearly.

I'm not asking Apple to do anything. I want to be able to do things myself without Apple using the government to attack my business.

This is worse than the Right to Repair debates -- people accuse us of trying to force Apple to fix our phones for free when in reality we just want to stop Apple from suing everyone who imports a 3rd-party battery.

Just let people compete, that's all I'm asking. Apple doesn't need to lift a finger. Let other people build emulators, port apps, display content, and make compatible phones. Apple doesn't need to fix my problems, but they shouldn't be able to use the government to stop other people from fixing my problems.

> Apple won't be able to interfere.

Again, I don't know if this is on purpose or not, but I just listed a few of the ways that Apple can interfere with Open standards, including suing competitors that use adversarial operability to get around network effects in an entrenched market.

> I've never mentioned web experience on iOS [...] Everyone is free to choose any other platform

We're talking in circles, but just to repeat -- when you say "any other platforms", that means Android or iOS. Those are the only two viable mobile platforms that exist right now. And good luck building a third when users have invested hundreds of dollars into closed app ecosystems that it will be illegal for you to interoperate with.

If you know a way to get around the problems listed at https://whatwebcando.today/, by all means let me know, I'd love to build some offline webapps for my phone. If you know a way to get reliable disk storage from a website on any mobile platform, please let me know, it would open up a world of possibilities for me as a developer.

But don't pretend the web is an escape hatch when its mobile support depends entirely on the two companies who have the most to gain from keeping its capabilities behind those of native apps.

> Just read how commerce existed prior 1913.

You keep trying to phrase this like I'm secretly being pro-regulation in this conversation. I'm willing to concede literally every single antitrust point I've raised in the comments above, and my only condition is that we get rid of all of the regulations including copyright.

At this point, you're arguing that market regulation is bad to someone who's proposing that an alternative to antitrust might be... to get rid of all market regulation.

What is your position? Do you think market regulation is bad or good? If you don't like regulation, then what do you disagree with me on? What do you oppose about the idea of stopping the government from using copyright to interfere with the free market?

Unsqare Dance will be forever associated with "Baby Driver".
If you do it as separate static pages, though (per the upstream comment: "I wonder if there's a better way than having everything on a single page with very little compartmentalization...") then you're no longer pushing all the content to the client at once. That limits the scope of the browser's built-in search to the current page, and thus necessitates the additional complexity to regain support for searching over all the docs.
It works the other way around: polygraphs need to show that they work in replicated, controlled experiments.

Wait till they start getting religion.
Yep, but that is an analysis from a Legal viewpoint.

What - I believe - made the Pinto case memorable was not that in a given subset of accidents it was (or was not) slightly more dangerous, it is the fact that the matter was looked into by the manufacturers and that it was waved off on a mere cost/benefit basis (with a supposed cost for increased security per car of US$ 11).

Mind you this is all in all normal, any safety norm or related technical specifications is (or should be) based on the "reasonable costs for society to obtain a reasonable increase in safety".

> There is a difference between being critical of something and hating it.

The original comment said “hate” not “is bad”; probably the source of a lot of the confusion in this thread lol.

> If you want to destroy capitalism, hacker news is probably not the most promising place to start. If your goal is to tweak it I actually think it is.

Idunno, even just calling it “bad” seems to imply that there are better things, which is not really a statement about “tweaking” anything. A statement in favour of tweaking capitalism would be something like “capitalism on its own can not reliably produce moral goods”.

And meanwhile something like 20% of Bronco IIs got rolled and nobody cared. But as soon as someone puts an Explorer on it's roof or a Samurai barrel rolls through an intersection and there's a problem.

Pretty much that whole generation of midsize SUVs rolled easily. That's just one of the engineering trade-offs all those vehicles made and anyone can tell you that. If Consumer Reports was picking my SUV as the one to target I'd assemble a "get these people off our back" team too.

The media has made more than a few scandals out of pure normalcy over the years. The Frontline(?) gas cap thing comes to mind as a good example. Reality doesn't seem to matter nearly as much as the marketing team and lawyers you use to shape the public's perception is what matters. It's no wonder that corporations reaction to reported problems seems to always be to try to steamroll whomever is complaining and/or keep things on the down low.

Replication is about having data level redundancy to protect from drive failure. Backups are about having point in time snapshots of the system state, and about having them tiered from a location perspective. The 3-2-1[1] principle says to have 3 total copies, 2 of which are local but on different devices, and 1 of which is offsite. This gives you tiers of recoverability.

It’s important from a backup perspective that it’s point in time as well, otherwise as soon as you get ransomware that encrypts your file you now have replicated those changes everywhere.

Yes, but the hex address transmitted is that of DCM965, not N123AB. On the next leg out, they could be assigned to fly as DCM398, etc.

I can enter a new aircraft ID into the box for each flight. That data is then transmitted in bits 9-32 of the ADS-B downlink message (where the N-number is typically transmitted for private aircraft).

The original story spoke of the rumours of malware involvement, but in the update which forms the first half of the linked article, Canon says there was no malware involved.

(“Replication isn’t backup” still applies, of course.)
Countries envy what China has become? Maybe those countries should be reminded they had all this in 1933, with a catchy theme song, and all the spätzle they could eat. They didn’t seem so envious then, spent something like 17 trillion (adjusted) to be less like China.
The problem with such drastic measures is that it is very difficult to actually prove that the seller did that. You could record the call as proof, but then your competitor can game the system by creating fake recordings and take you down.

Classically, backups are taken then stored offline (e.g. on archive tape, on optical media, or on drives that are disconnected and put in storage between backups). Otherwise, if they are not 'cold' backups, they are still disconnected so if the main storage blows up, it won't impact the data in the backups.

Replication usually involves storage that is powered up and connected somehow to the same systems as the main storage; and any data that's corrupted on the main storage would propagate to the replicated storage.
Cook dinner, eat it away from your computer, and wash the dishes. (Or go out, or do takeout.) When you're done, do something that interests you. TV, games, hobbies, side-business, open-source project, ect.

If you're still ultra-focused on work, do a skunk project. (IE, the "work" things you want to do but your boss won't let you do.)

(And, maybe this is unrelated, but if you're on meds like Straterra or Adderal, this is something you should talk about with your 'shrink... Or maybe just find a different doctor if they've had you "trying this and that.")

I've written this multiple times on HN: democracy is a weird and temporary quirk, the natural state of mankind is totalitarism.

For the short period of time (1.5 century) we were in this state where masses were educated well enough to demand political rights for themselves, and elittes didn't have the means to fully control them, so the compromise called "democracy" was made.

Nowadays, with technical advances in many areas, like online banking, smartphones, social media, AI it again becomes possible for elittes to excercise total control over average citizen, therefore mankind will soon revert to it's natural, totalitarian state.
