> Adopting this perspective isn't great unless you want to accept the status quo

Adopting this perspective is the only way you're going to change the status quo. Change isn't created by endlessly scrolling or complaining on twitter; recognizing that you must be hardworking and focus your energy where it's most effective is a precondition to creating it.
If you're worried about grade inflation, introduce university-provided exams instead.

How is that any better than SAT or ACT?

Any industry that pays for its externalities is more expensive in production. My mother told me the river changed color based on what color the towns factory used that day, when she was young. That did not change because people were guild tripped into not buying from them, or because someone found a way to be both more ecological and more profitable. The state changed the rules: your factory poisons the river, we close the factory and take your money.

Economic profit does not favor ecology. No one would have invested into the R&D of wastewater processing unless the state threatens them with an economic equivalence of a death-sentence. Nowadays waste-water processing might be a boom market where profits can be made, but that is not some free market force that is independent from decades of lobbying.

That's what various networks have reported.

It kind of makes it hard to route around an upstream, if they keep announcing your routes even when there isn't a path to you!
From the other (Cloudflare) thread (post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24322603), the outages list (https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages).

https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/outages/2020-August/thread...

Not a network engineer, but based on the comments there it looks like it's a BGP blackhole incident.

Edit: removed details about the similarity to a 1997 incident based in input from commenters.
HN is not the worst place, honestly.
It’s a mailing list for network operations/engineering folks. The emails are the status updates. You’ll have to look to each network’s own site if you want connectivity, peering, and IXP red/green/ up/down status.
We're not facing extinction yet and this sort-of alarmism is actually unhelpful. I too thought for a while that we're facing extinction but we're not there yet, I found this helpful to read: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2020/08/denial...

I do think, however, that we're living in a "golden age" and that it will come to an end somewhat abruptly. Many people will probably die but we're not going to go extinct.

I share your concern regarding the inability of so many people (at least in the USA) to perform the simple task of wearing a mask for communal good. It does not bode well for community engagement on totally revamping people's lifestyles to help mitigate climate change (I can imagine the foaming at the mouth that would occur with many people around where I live - Austin - if the government instituted a gasoline car buyback program in exchange for hybrids, as a simple example.)
Reminds me of this anecdote[0], where the person 'lived' an entirely different life while he was lying unconscious on the ground.

'if' is a separate instruction from 'block' in wasm, though - the conditional having a return value makes sense given that there are two paths it can take and a value might want to flow out. the logic behind applying that to all basic blocks is confusing to me.
That's what ansible PR material would have you believe. In reality only very simple things can be translated into ansible/salt and even then you may hit one of their many bugs. If you try to do complex things even bash would be a better choice (although obviously the best).

There's one thing ansible/salt are good at: make it easy for cheap replaceable devops to write tons of repetitive boilerplate yaml. Harder for them to shoot themselves in the foot than with a real programming language. But once you descend into jinja hell that's not very true either.

Also: newer isn't always better and all that.
Try Forklift.
With respect, no. This lens misunderstands both the "admissions" process, the larger goals a given Uni has, and charter they operate under. In practice at the Uni level a much more significant amount of filtering is done through aid packages.
This explains a lot. Initially thought my mobile phone Internet connectivity was flakey because I couldn't access HN here in Australia, whilst it's fine over wi-fi (wired Internet).
What could cause this? I wonder what the technical problem is.
Thank you!

This sounds a lot like what I had in mind. I will def try this out.

There are 269 definitions for CIS on Acronym Finder. The first one is "Computer Information Systems" there is also "Contact Image Sensor" before we get to "CMOS Image Sensor".

Even among specialists acronyms may cause confusion.
Guessing the traceroute looks a bit messy because of multiple paths being available.

You can use `-q 1` to send a single traceroute probe/query instead of the default 3, it might make your traceroute look a little cleaner.

This works too, I'm guessing having some sort of data aggregation environment that pulls out data into it via defined procs that converts raw data into named, meaningful tables ?

Works OK in Paris via SFR (home fiber) and Sipartech (Business fiber).

Doesn't work via Bouygues 4G.

My SFR fiber doesn't seem affected all that much. I've been following this for a while on the other HN post [0] and all services people have noted seem to work here.

Both SFR and Sipartech seem to have direct peerings with Cogentco.

The amount of vegetation growing nearby is really interesting.

Maybe the herbivores avoid the leaking gas area or the methane bubble warms or fertilizes the soil (providing nitrogen somehow)
It doesn't seem consumer friendly to me. Aside from laptop, phone is five years old, replaced (consumer serviceable) battery twice (<$20), re-soldered USB connector once because of worn-out charging ($5, bought on ebay, don't have a solder, friend did it), replaced screen once due to a crack on screen and heavy rain. SD card of course so 8GB phone boosted by very affordable 64GB. Phone was less than $300, upfront no plan, when new.

Very consumer friendly phone.
Ranger is fantastic, if you're used to vim keys you should definitely check it out. It do all those things you mentioned, but honestly my favorite use of it is as a replacement for `cd`. If you run it with `. ranger` (which I have alias'ed to `rd` in in my terminal), you end up cd'd to whatever directory you left off ranger at. Combined with the "f" command in ranger (as well as bookmarking folders with "m"), you can zip around your filesystem incredibly quickly.
People finding it useful, for whatever purposes.
I hope these kind of “ipv4” only outages encourages more and more websites to upgrade to ipv6.

One important limitation is that TiDB only offers snapshot isolation, not serializability.
It would appear from the limited info so far, to be an issue in the v4 routing configuration - I haven’t seen anything that says this couldn’t have been the other way around.
We had this once with one of our former ISPs configuring static routes towards us and announcing them to a couple of IXPs.
I have no idea why they did it, but it caused a major downtime once for us and basically signed the termination.
I first heard about e-ink in a Newsweek article ~1999 featuring IDEOs technologies of the future. I’ve waited years for a full-size display.

The RP1 was something like 1.5k when it came out. Thankfully the RP1 was half that. Never regretted the purchase.

I’m imagining some MBA dips#it at Remarkable doing some kind of regression analysis on cost of device, screen size compared to competitors in the market—and missing the point. Full size paper is everywhere.

As far as the Sony’s UE. finding files seems unrefined. You only notice if you store a lot of files on the device or have deep folders. Annoying but not a deal breaker.

FWIW, I posted here at HN some of my ideas for improvement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17220073

There are so many pdf tools to merge/split/rearrange pages. Most of them are crap, shareware or hardly usable. This one is open source and can even be used to stitch images to a pdf!

It works on linux and windows.

Usually, open source/linux tools are not bullshit, so it is a good advice to not search for "some-tool", but rather for "some-tool open source" or "some-tool linux" (I got this advice from a friend).
Because networks are connected to others via different paths, it's not unusual that one method of connectivity would work and one doesn't.

Also the Internet has lots of asymmetric traffic, just because a forward path towards a destination may look the same from different networks, it doesn't mean the reverse path will be similar.

You might consider reading the original paper. Because the experiment doesn't rely on conscious observers at all. (Unless you think photons are conscious, which I'm assuming you don't.)

Nice video. Now I wonder if God uses structurally shared data structures in his implementation of the world. I also wonder if there can be a kind of continuous description of branching that is more amenable to calculus than the discrete tree-like branching.
I'm confused about what you're asking about. What was the solution to what? The stdlib being crap? Annex K being crap as well? C existing?
A good way of dealing with this kind of thing in the future would be to include some clarifying words in the post title to HN. Like "TSMC Builds a Dedicated 28nm Fab for Sony CMOS image sensors".

HN gathers all kinds of people from the technology world. We can't all be expected to know all of of the acronyms from all of the various sectors.

The parent comment received 15 upvotes in a few hours, so I'm guessing most people on here don't know what "CIS" means in this context.

It's just CSS with a little JS. Define your colours in some css variables, use the variables in your styling, then update the variables based on which selection was chosen.

Duckduckgo has themes and they're pretty privacy oriented. I don't think it will contribute to fingerprinting. The media prefers-color-scheme browser setting might contribute to that though, which let's you have different theme defaults depending on browser preference

You're sending the OTP in plaintext. This is the age-old key distribution problem, and that's not magically solved by using a separate channel.

It doesn't seem to be anything special. On the wider shot closer to the ground (5th picture, with a bunch of people standing next to the crater) you can see that the mix of shrubs and more bare / grassy ground spreads to the horizon.

Linux systems are more than just a kernel. Does every program across the system now understand that direct comparison of strings doesn't work on filenames? Does every regex touching or analyzing filenames know that they must now be case insensitive? How long until people stop getting bitten by this issue?

That aside, inferring semantic meaning based on a few cultures at this moment in time is a dumb choice. There are tons of such language-specific semantics that could be implemented and the result is needing to memorize all those rules about when it does and doesn't actually matter (and arguing that only certain cultures and languages should have their own semantics encoded in the OS is its own problem).

Why would it be useless for non-Emacs users? It's an integrated tool, just like any other tool which you learn to use. You can use it for this purpose while you use some other editor for other tasks.

There is absolutely nothing 1984-esque about products in a store not being allowed completely free speech about the store without the store owner being allowed to decide to not carry the product. Imagine if Coca Cola started putting “Walmart is a horrible business” on their cans and the law limited Walmart’s ability to say “ok then we won’t sell Coca Cola”.

Mhtml tends to not have JavaScript run with it because there is no origin attached to it. That's one of the benefits of web bundles, they can run with an origin attached so they have access to the correct storage and other sandboxing primitives.
Interesting.. how’d you get the (.now.sh) domain?
Well, that's the point. The experiment shows that one of three assumptions has to be false. But one of these (AOE) being false is not surprising or concerning at all, when dealing with non-conscious observers (such as photons, indeed). With conscious observers it would be concerning to some (not to me, but to Wigner and presumably the authors), because of the supposition that there's something special about conscious observers (i.e., magical thinking, IMHO). So what has this paper really shown? Absoluteness of Observed Events is false when the observers are photons, which (my layman's assumption) should surprise exactly nobody. And then they propose to repeat the experiment with an AI in a quantum computer as the observer. Lol.
For a situation like this, the various tools hosted by RIPE are likely your best bet. You won't get a pretty green/red picture, but you'll get a more than enough data to work with.

Sadly, in my experience, ipv4 is generally more reliable than ipv6 still.

Set up two hosts, host A and host B in two different data centers. Make them send HTTP requests to each other over ipv4 and over ipv6. You'll see that latency spikes, packet loss is more frequent over ipv6.
> Why does HN have so many conspiracy theorists?

Reflexive cynicism is easy, and makes you appear smart to a large number of commenters.

Of course, it doesn't help that often times, the automatic cynicism is entirely accurate, especially when contrasted against empty PR statements.
They're pretty obviously designed to do both.
a lot of people feel that the outsourcing was unnecessary for a lot of low-traffic sites, and was mainly the result of marketing pushing cloudflare to everyone. It doesn't make sense that some tiny blogs go down when there's a cloudflare outage. And it creates side effects too: e.g. cloudflare's anti-spam checks make it nearly impossible to create a functioning link fetcher/previewer unless you re a big enough site to ask for a manual exception.
