Well, with that numbers the top 1% produces 15x their share of emissions, the 49% produce 1.5x their share of emissions. So the top 1% produce 10x more emissions compared to the middle. Doesn't sound suspicious to me, does it to you?
That's a great point, but I get back to the root question: who's actually looking at this? If people are examining logs it's usually for a particular trigger or a problem and filtering that signal from the noise is hard.

Did he have opportunities to escape house arrest or prosecution by compromising his principles? I agree that Wikileaks has broken a lot of important stories, but many outlets break important stories - I'd push back just as hard if someone told me that A. G. Sulzberger was one of the most important journalists in history.

I'm not intimately familiar with those three particular journalists, but it's far from unheard of for American journalists to go to jail protecting their principles. And I'd point out that it's even more common for them to argue for their principles in court, which Assange is trying his hardest to avoid.
Well yes. But then it's just hiking not emergency services, SD cards also do break, so I would need dual slot etc.

And, an "accept" holds for seemingly till the end of time, while a "I don't accept" is valid not much more than the mouse button click echoes through my room before you stand before the dialog box yet again, contemplating why you don't do something more useful with your life.
Fair enough, that rationale actually makes sense in the context of that sort of VPN. The sorts of VPNs I don't trust are those like Nord VPN or one of the others with huge advertising budgets.
It is disappointing when articles like this provide only vague/ incomplete implementation details. Is this something we can mitigate? I don't think all apps are given access to this movement data which occurs in the background so it should be something we can disable for specific apps or just not turn on for any apps.
I would guess that most workloads have some sort of slow time when it’s appropriate to schedule backups. Wouldn’t having backups rotate through the day potentially cause slowness during a more active time for users?
So your argument is as follows:

1. People didn’t mind meeting with travel agencies.

2. Actually people hated meeting with travel agencies. Never mind number 1.

3. Automatic head scratchers are a waste of time.

4. Therefore online travel websites are a waste of time.
You can still do that. There is no need to use a complicated stack when the problem is simple.
True. I've learned to resist the urge to rewrite code just because it feels too ugly/complex to me - except in the cases where I know I can get tangible benefits (performance, better API) and the scope of rewrite is limited and guarded by extensive tests. It's true that some of the cruft accrues because of changing requirements and the ongoing process of learning that is a good chunk of our work.

And yet accepting that, I still can't shake the feeling that things are more complex than they should be. That also applies to the code I'm writing myself (which is immune from the "rewrite because I could do it better" urge)!
This post explicitly assumes that port scanning is “costly”. By all accounts, this is not true anymore.

>>culture eats strategy for breakfast!

I'm sure you know this but this phrase simply means that it is better to have a good culture than a good strategy, broadly speaking. Mind you, I'm not saying this is true or not.

Your phrase:
>>so without strategy, culture starves?

Seems to be argumentative for argument's sake without taking into account the intended meaning of the original phrase. Not surprised you pissed them off.
What are some of the better tools for generating timeline data from text (I hate all the gui tools).

Hey, at least we've got that RBG news last week so, not everything has been bad this year.
From one POV:

I wake at 430a and work-out first thing. I start working around 730a. I'm usually in bed around 9. If I'm in a creative mode, I can shorten the workout a bit and grab an extra hour in the mornings to write, etc.

I am usually done with job-work around 4p. My family and I, if we go out go out early. We joke we have an "early empty restaurant" habit. We usually watch a show or two each night (or Youtube playlists, movies). Our family things are running, hiking, working out, dog outings.

I see "friends" maybe once/month. That's all I need (should be said -- most people have a cancellation rate on "plans" -- so I'll make plans, but only have to show up periodically because people end up with conflicts; don't know how other people manage this, but it does make me reluctant to increase the "planning" requests from other people).

I do stuff with my son most days (gym, disc golf, pickle/raquetball, tennis), but he also goes to his mother's half-time. My partner goes out of her way to see her friends a few times/month (book club, girls group, happy hours).

Thing is, we don't drink. Not never-ever, but almost-never. One night out.. a few drinks.. upends our flow for a few days. I don't wake up wanting to get at things. Weekends we tend to do MORE of the list above (gym workout in the morning, disc golf in the afternoon, pickle ball in the evening, etc).

Video games? I've never played them. My son plays Minecraft/KSP 60-90 minutes/night, before bed.

And yes, I'm old enough to have a teenage son and I WFH.
Honestly I wonder why there is no brain drain from the US to other parts of the world. Why would anyone want to live in that hellhole.
That depends on your definition of free market, but I think everyone likes the golden-years of a free market. The long tail of unhindered capitalism has some rough edges, we have some laws to help but they're not much use if no-one uses them.
>or is it something much more boring like OSHA rules or something?

I think it's more like if you understand the tech well enough that you are willing to risk it you likely understand how not to stick your hand in a saw in the first place, don't see the value add and don't wind up working for these people.

Also there's probably a pretty big social aspect of it. The guy willing to stick his hand in the saw for the demo video is gonna get shunned by most of the kind of people who want to work on tech like this.
It has worth, only not the way you mean. It may (or may not) lead to better sales through ads, but it leads to more and more expensive ad sales and some very wealthy companies.

There’s this growing reputation that’s Europe has broadly lost the tech race to the US and Asia and so now it’s seeking to be the de facto world regulator of tech as some sort of consolation prize to gain global influence. Not entirely fair, but also not entirely inaccurate either.
I once asked a Virgin Media sales-droid about IPv6 on a leased line, and was told they could give us IPv6 if we handed back our IPv4 addressing... somewhat special.
I'll add my anecdata to this. The lab I got my Masters in was, well, saddening. So were all the other labs. My SO has a higher degree in another field from another location. My SO's lab was ok, well maybe okay-ish, but all the other labs were similarly saddening.

I remember one student who just couldn't laugh. Sure a chuckle here and there, but not real laughter. When we'd go grab lunch with a prospective new student, he's warn them off academia altogether. Such lunch meetings weren't all that uncommon with people in other labs.

Maybe our experiences were unique and rare, but they felt more common than not.

A link to this poem, since I was curious:

http://www.yourdailypoem.com/listpoem.jsp?poem_id=648
The comment wasn't "the barrier of entry to selling a thing on the internet" the comment was in a thread where the context was competitors on the scale they could be replacements for Amazon.

The barrier for that is not a Shopify page... that's not going to get you a fleet of Boeing 767s that shore up your nation-wide logistics chain able to deliver a 3 dollar dog toy 200 miles in less than 24 hours.

Even Walmart is struggling to compete with that, how can someone say that there's a low barrier of entry there with a straight face?

In fact you seem to be aware of this because literally the next line down you say... Competing against Amazon's scale is tough

-

This is just another typical HN contextomy. People need to learn read a comment in the context it's given, rather than going "well technically, if you just ignore the context given, it's actually this totally unrelated thing."

It gets exhausting having to constantly point out context that's literally right there.
Speaking of Frostpunk, I would love to see more games set in that world. I would love a Frostpunk RPG for example, something a bit like Divinity Original Sin, or maybe Disco Elysium, but in the Frostpunk world. Or maybe a Life is Strange style story game.
I feel the same about the movie business. Indie films can be awesome, but some kinds of movies are hard to do without a large budget.
I don't think this is true. The presence of a qualified import of "Data.Set as Set" does not change how the following is parsed.

import Data.Set (fromList)
import qualified Data.Set as Set

data Set a = Set (Set.Set a)

f :: Ord a => [a] -> Set a
f = Set . fromList

g :: Ord a => [a] -> Set a
g = Set .fromList

h :: Ord a => [a] -> Set a
h = Set. fromList

i :: Ord a => [a] -> Set.Set a
i = Set.fromList

In other words, the . is interpreted as a "module dot" if and only if there is no whitespace either preceding or following the dot.
Dang. The conversation here is toxic.
From my former university and high school colleagues, about a third are already too obese. 50lb+ over healthy weight.

Another third is not yet as far gone, but still lead very sedentary lives, home to car to office to car to home.

Only the last third are people who could summit a 5000ft mountain without totally finishing themselves off.
this is so confusing.

Right but the fact that a bytes can be decoded as a message doesn't mean that's how it's declared in the proto. Sometimes a message will have `bytes opaquemsg = 42;` when an application wants to proxy through a nested protocol message, but without caring about the contents. What I'm getting at is the article has arrived at one of many possible proto files that could be the one the app actually uses.

Ireland’s data watchdog slammed for ‘biggest breach of all time’
Examining my own behavior, I do see a lot of the last part of your comment. Even as someone who recognizes the potential for abuse when you have incredibly detailed models of people and can use them to manipulate behavior, it's not as obvious as another subscription fee.

I have a strong bias against any sort of automatically recurring charge. In some ways I'm very illogical about it--yearly subscriptions like Amazon Prime or my VPN aren't too bad because I can see the cost and not worry about it for a while. But I've just been trained through experience to see anything monthly (or less) as a way to disguise the real cost through stretching it out (even if I can easily do the arithmetic and see the annual cost.

Regardless, knowing about the potential for abusing the data compiled on my behavior is enough to make me feel a bit "icky" or mildly uneasy. It's enough to make me avoid using anything from Facebook, for example. But it's not enough to keep me from checking my subs on YouTube or using Google navigation when I drive somewhere new.

If it was as simple as paying $100/year to use Google services without data collection it would be easy, but then what stuff would stop working? A good bit of the usefulness of Google nav or whatever comes from how it collects usage data or ties in with my calendar to remind me when I need to leave to make it to an appointment on time.

And then what about all of the other things I interact with that collect data? Do I need to figure out what they all are and pay them a yearly fee as well? What about the ones who decide it's still easier and more profitable to skip the whole thing and keep making their money by profiling my behavior?

Instead, I end up avoiding Facebook properties, blocking ads, never using rewards cards, trying to ignore the OG offenders (credit card companies), and still feeling uneasy about all the info being analyzed about me daily.
Thanks for that. I based my estimate, looking at the code for SOAPEngine[0], which is the library I use. It's pretty complete, and that guy knows his stuff.

I tend to be fairly anal about testing; especially low-level stuff. It can be a bit excruciating, working with me, as I insist on pounding away at everything. That's why it's taken a week and a half to get to the place I'm at now. I'm working on the login and initial user edit stuff. Basic (but critical) stuff, and I keep encountering edge cases. I'm also debugging the backend SDK.

The bottle cap has a laser sensor that measures the water level in the bottle. When you drink all the water, there is a Bluetooth chip (also in the cap) that notifies the app on your phone, which phones home and records that you drank a bottle of water into a DB (apparently a blockchain). The company then has a deal with some other company that for every bottle of Rebo you drink, it funds the collection of plastic waste collection.

I admit they chocked it full of too many buzzwords to make it sound cooler than it is, but at least the concept sort of makes sense compared to the hot air the Nikola CEO blew.

Why would they limit there revenue to a single platform? That doesn't make sense to me. But I don't play videogames, haven't since my kids were teenagers, think Call of Duty. I have sold software to corporate, and I can say the revenue from software sales far outweigh hardware revenues.
Yes, you can get paid to build interesting things. But the work you will be doing is not going to be interesting. Working as part of a team with the 1000s of engineers on Uber or Office or Alexa is going to be tedious no matter how valuable you think the product is.
Here's interesting thought. There's UNIX security measure that dates back to old UNIXes: only root can listen on <1024 ports. That's why all old-school services listen on <1024 ports: some random user, running software on your machine can't intercept that port.

People changing ssh port to >1024 port actually reduce security of their systems.
> In other words, taking the Covid issue head-on and making decisions in spite of what the media reaction would be may be something that the same group of people could support?

I don't think they would have, though, at all. The "get Brexit done" sentiment is mostly popular amongst people who discount the chance of Brexit having any significant impact on their lives (there's polling on this; the most pro-brexit people are also, oddly, the ones most likely to think that Brexit won't actually do anything much in terms of practical impact on their everyday lives). Whereas decisive action on covid would have been, in the short to medium term, far more disruptive than what has actually been done.

> Have you tried any NES games lately? They're super hard! SNES games are better but they're still almost all very difficult.

NES games might be hard. I never really had a NES while I was young. But I do know for sure some SNES games that will be easy to play. E.g. Mario Kart & Unirally. There's some videos on YouTube that shows other games that are playable by young children [0]. Super Double Dragon isn't too complicated either I think and the Retroid Pocket 2 can be connected to a tv using HDMI cable and can use BLE to connect controllers. So that way I can play together with my daughter at the same time, to make it even easier for her.

Here's a video that suggests some NES games for children [1].

Proximus [0], the partially state-owned and largest telecom provider in Belgium, uses this pattern too.

Additionally, on mobile, scrolling through the cookie-usage options automatically selects the maximum invasive option. The 'scroll-touch' is registered as a regular touch selecting the option.

Great point! I hadn't thought of this.

It looks like the "record dot" follows the same parsing rules as the "module dot": the presence of whitespace turns the . into function composition.

I'm not far behind you in age, but I started crazy early in life.

Well, I think the big question is, are you /developing/ or /hacking/? Hacking is fun, developing is a job. Hacking is in a language and stack that's probably a bit unstable, that most shops wouldn't let you use in production. Developing is writing code at about 30% of your ability to express yourself, to avoid someone half-reading your code later from misinterpreting it.

Sometimes you can intermix the two to make the job better. Sometimes not.

Half the country seem to think the BBC is a tory mouthpiece. The other half think it's a commie plot.

Like all organisations, BBC editors have to decide where to focus their limited resources. They have covered Assange, lots. Yesterday they put a hell of a lot of coverage into the HSBC etc leaks, this morning the lead story on the website was the 'Tory donor Lubov Chernukhin linked to $8m Putin ally funding' story [0]

The BBC has been criticised for left wing bias in newsnight (indepth news program on about 2240), in the editor really digging into the current government [1], in the presenter really digging into the PM's chief advisor. The BBC's new chief used to be a local Tory Party deputy chairman [3], and the head of Radio used to be an elected Labour party minister, and was set for the top job at one point [4]

15 years ago the BBC DG resigned after the whole David Kelly affair put the corporation at loggerheads with the government [5]

Saying the BBC is biassed, one way or another, is a simplistic and wrong view. Saying it's not biassed is equally simplistic and wrong.

Hmm, I thought these prefixes a subset of the CIDR provided through RA on WAN?

I am kind of in similar situation as parent poster. My ISP supposedly provides IPv6, but from the RA announcements it looks like it is /64. My assuption was that I supposed to split it myself into smaller pieces. It's also sucks since they are providing /64 which is the smallest CIDR that SLAAC requires.

When I called my ISP they said that I only have IPv4, so it's not like I can get much help with IPv6.

Although I know IPv6 works, because when I connected a box and told it to configure itself through RA it did and I was able to ping ipv6 hosts.
