If I’m reading between the lines accurately (and sans sarcasm, inform me if I’m mistaken), you presuppose any individual of color (a bit of a loaded term, but you get the idea) has a debt owed to them of land and wealth separate from other people.

I vaguely say “other people” because this notion is what entices racial sentiments. It’s no different than changing the adjective for a different skin tone, and saying they too deserve their “own self rule”

This implies “blacks” don’t have self rule as it stands today, which I disagree with. In 2020, there exists no legislature that disfavors someone based on their skin color or ethnic background. We do however have the inverse, policies that give advantages to those who have specific skin color.

This predilection for a specific kind of racism, a one-way street attitude, is what fuels our current divide. I need not say more.
> it could be COVID-related

This was certainly an issue with BT-OR in the UK for a short while when lock-down first properly started and there was a combination of OR people not being able to work and home users discovering issues (or reporting those that until now had been to minor to care about) as they tried to work from home. That caused quite a back-log of work in some areas.
Being somewhat savvy here probably saved the Comcast tech from severe injury I could imagine them poking around and getting a shocking result.

Hi HN, this is a quick website I made this weekend. It was super fun reading about older projects and digging up links in the Internet Archive! The list is far from complete (I still have a long list of services I stumbled across to add), please let me know if you have any feedback, or find anything I missed or got wrong. It was difficult to find info on the older items on the list!
Not a lawyer. Is it illegal to donate directly to Snowden?
Yes, I agree, this is a more appropriate angle. Someone who invokes their right of publicity is generally making a claim that someone has violated trademark law. This is NOT a modification to copyright law, though -- both rights exist concurrently. A photographer who takes a photo of a trademark retains the copyright to the photo, and the owner of the mark concurrently owns the trade rights to the mark.

To my point -- this idea is entirely a separate concept from copyright law. It is not a modification to copyright law.
I that you're right that it's just IntelliJ doing too much. Similar to how the Slack app's formerly astonishing memory consumption was because it was trying to retain all of Giphy in memory for all time.

Somewhat related, back when I was a C# developer, I spent a long time being confused over the community's somewhat polar opinions on whether Visual Studio is slow and bloated, or lean and snappy. Eventually I realized that the difference of opinions was because some people's employers buy them copies of ReSharper, and others don't.

I can absolutely see Netflix making a smash hit docudrama about this trial. I'm not being facetious; miscarriages of justice really do capture the public's imagination, if they're able to hear the story told in an interesting way. Add in to the fact that this is a political thriller, and it's a recipe for success.

And you 100% know Assange will have 0 qualms with selling the rights, and extensive phone calls from prison.
I am currently very pleased with my Motorola One Vision, which I intend to keep using for as long as possible, as I did with my Moto X Play before it and my Galaxy S4 Mini before that (my first smartphone, I held out for a long time).

When my X Play died, I did look into getting a Fairphone, but they weren't selling at the time, and I needed a new phone that wasn't be another 2-3 months away.

Hopefully it will be a long time before I buy another phone, but I am keeping an eye on Fairphone, Pinepone and the Purism phone. Especially Fairphone has really come a long way and have a really compelling product now.

I do need some apps from the Play Store, most can be worked around in a decent web browser with somewhat reduced comfort (FB Messenger for instance), but others demand the app (mobile payments and short-term car rental/sharing here in Denmark), so for the moment I have to stick with the Android ecosystem.

Maybe I just need to cold turkey the whole thing.
Surely Biden will do it
Because they have no incentive to? Not sure what that question has to do with my response.

I'll try making my point in a different way. You seem to have some kind of resentment for undocumented immigrants because you went through a long immigration process and they didn't, and now you both work in the US. My point is that the facts that you're both immigrants and work in the US are the only similarities. They have to work hard jobs for little pay, and look over their shoulders for their whole lives knowing they could be locked up at any moment. They're not getting the same reward that you did for going through the immigration process. You don't have anything to be resentful towards them about.
You had me hook, line and sinker at "cable in my cable modem melted". Great story and great writing, thanks!
A good way to write better code is to read good code. Go find some open source projects you like and skim read the code!

Personally, I like to go back in the git history to when things were simpler and see the changes to the codebase that solved specific problems they had, e.g; scaling, reusability...

That's exactly my point of view as well. I'm not in the higher risk age ranges, so at this point I feel it's almost a civic duty for me to vote in person so that others who must vote by mail can do so and have their votes count.
I like that cloud access is free, and Alexa integration works for me, although I prefer to keep my automation stuff relatively simple.

For me, I like the OpenHAB scripting, I personally found HomeAssistant to be too complicated to do some things because it was focused on being easy to use. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to get HomeAssistant to do what I wanted with my zwave smart locks, and it was much easier to do it on OpenHAB. So obviously, YMMV based on your preferences and requirements.

I see a lot of people using NodeRed also, which I guess is cool, but I found NodeRed incredibly frustrating compared to writing a script from scratch.
I’m not sure “killed” is the correct term as most of Mozilla’s offerings have been free and often open source. I think “discontinued” or something like “stopped internal development of” would be more sensible, but I guess that wouldn’t make a good domain name or get the clicks.
Extreme social compliance and social comparison, two things that are also built into the hardware.
Chasing short-term profits at the expense of long-term losses is a popular pastime of management/C-suite executives who are motivated more by "what's good for me" than by "what's good for my company/employees/customers". It creates a culture where everyone is acting more out of self-interest than they ought to.

Eventually, the company pays for it, but it can take a while.

The culture at Boeing has changed, and it seems to me that the quarterly numbers are more important now than previously.
Well it is still developed. It will get better over the years to come.

I was addressing the c# refactoring s. They were delivered with roslyn to VS and exposed to VS Code via OmniSharp. The gap of C# refactoring in the VS 2008/2010 era is due to the Roslyn project blocking all other efforts. So C# refactoring are only realized via Roslyn Analyzers and with that available to VS Code.

And VS Code is executing them nicely. There is no gap.

I think this is a great comaprison of the wrong things - i do not believe RAM used is what matters, not if it's under 4 Gb.
I think it's CPU, and VS code consistently takes more CPU to achoeve the same job, and for longer.
This isn't a "named AWS service" in the same vein of typical services like S3, EC2, etc. This is a "AWS Solution Implementation" which is a list of community created "solutions" built using AWS.

My strong suspicion is that this "AWS Perspective" is something that one of AWS's customers insisted on being built customized for their environment, and then the Solution Architects who designed it for the customer also wanted to get some "external credit" (AWS employees have to create a certain number of externally-facing blog posts/GitHub contributions/etc) so they uploaded it here.
I think the one that surprises people the most is that they have no idea how most huge systems are frighteningly, perpetually in peril of going down or becoming breached.

People like to joke about software engineers all being smart 20-somethings building extremely high-impact stuff. When you take a step back and think about that, that means that Bob Smith who was just doing a keg stand in a basement 18 months ago is now adding a security feature to a fintech service that processes hundreds of millions of dollars per month. People don't realize how much of their well-being hinges upon clueless idiots (like me).

And, nobody - not one person - knows or agrees on the "right" way to write software.

I have an account with eNom and have had good experiences over the past ~10 years with them. Price wise it isn't the cheapest (~$14/year retail for .com) but it is still inexpensive overall and also covers a pretty large variety of TLDs, plus offers an API.

I generally point my domains to AWS which is where I manage everything, so I have not used eNom's other features extensively but they offer a number of related services.

What is Conscription then? Or compulsory National Service?
The motor cortex is the easiest thing to read via eeg that is consciously accessible. Any time you move or think of moving, it's activated. It's very easy to distinguish left side activation from right side activation, but much harder to determine whether you moved your left arm or leg. They use finger as a demonstration of sensitivity, but unless something has radically changed, finger discrimination from outside the skull is probably impossible, which is probably the reason it's a dress and not, say, a robotic exoskeleton.

Is it a sign of internal struggles that China is trying to foment foreign relations 'situations' to divert attention?

I really wish the world would rescue Tibet from China.
Thanks. I chose "so-called" for that very reason.

And I agree to adding "journalism" or "news content provider" to more accurately reflect what's going on.
I fear it already is too late. China was brave enough to take Hong Kong in one swift motion. The international response has been so weak that China is already eyeing Taiwan. Just yesterday they flew with 18 fighter jets and a bomber across the unofficial but mutually agreed border between Taiwan and China. This is unprecedented.

If the situation doesn't deescalate quickly, we might see a war soon and if push comes to shove, the US could be in the middle of it.
Attacking the bias and faith of Zenz instead of his argument is poor form. Doing so while linking to "The Gray Zone" is ironic.
Not to say anything about your point about drawing out an election is perhaps not optimal. But this is standard for the U.S is it not?

States have until before December 14th to certify and choose electors. Then congress will make the final certification and make the result official in January.
What do you mean by "actual 'oppression'" ?
> I don’t see why it should have to take longer than a few days to count ballots.

To snap back with an equally uniformed answer, I don't see why anyone could think something as complicated as certifying the vote of a country the size of the USA could only take a few days!

But, in seriousness, this is how the system has always worked and just saying that you, an outsider, doesn't understand it and wants to make demands on the timescale doesn't invalidate it. There's like a bazillion moving parts behind the scenes and stuff like waiting on mail in ballots takes time. That's the cost of having an election with integrity. Read more on it here [1].

> Refereing to chinese character as Kanji is inaccurate.

"Kanji" is often translated into English as "Chinese character", so the two terms tend to be used interchangeably even when someone is referring to text written in Japanese.
Shameless plug: I wrote AWSets[1], which can be used to do some of this (although the graphs aren't as pretty). It was written because at work we regularly interact with hundreds of AWS accounts and wanted something to quickly scan/catalog all of the resources (launch blog post explains more [2]).

It's free to run locally (doesn't use or require Config), the data is normalized & output as JSON for you to do whatever you want with it. It has better coverage than similar tools (>250 resources & growing), and provides relationship mapping between them as well. It's still a work in progress and might have rough edges, so feel free to file issues to help make it better.

Reuters explicitly says that it has "corroborated Zenz’s findings and found additional policy documents, company reports, procurement filings and state media reports that describe the program". I understand that Zenz may be controversial, but are you suggesting that Reuters in general is suspect because it's speaking out about this?
A 555 and a Lighter Make High Voltage
18 months? Wouldn't you use the "monitoring device" earlier to diagnose such issues?

Interference can happen from many other devices and it is not uncommon for the providers and state to find these devices and sometimes fine the individual for using/installing them. People install all kinds of stuff without knowing it can cause problems. Cell repeaters and devices that are not in spec or not even FCC approved etc.
I got comfortable with gaskets and gasket-making while working on cars. If the tech repair youtube still hasn't mastered this art I'd suggest looking at automotive youtube.

Prepare the substrate, use the right silicone for your materials, use gap-preventing technique, and you can make it happen with high reliability even if you don't have an ultrasound to check your work. Your grandpa didn't have an ultrasound and his automotive gaskets had to put up with a lot more abuse than your phone ever will. There was no magic then and there's no magic now. You can do it too.
I find the built-in PDF reader in Firefox to be bloat. It's OK, it works 95% of the time, but really I want to use a native PDF viewer.

A big part of the Max’s sales proposition was that it shared a type certification with the old 737. This meant that pilots would need minimal retraining, and could easily swap back and forth between the two easily. This requirement is why the MCAS software wasn’t properly documented; to avoid expensive retraining requirements that would be unattractive to buyers.

Ignoring the training issue (which is already long gone), the inability to take the Max abroad would be a serious hindrance for sales. It means that it would require that airlines track them separately for routes, making sure to never take the Max 8 outside of America, which is exactly what Boeing was hoping not to do with the Max 8.
I don’t think the US alone has any appetite for a land war in China, nor does the rest of the world. They have such a huge population, it would be very, very hard to win a war like that.

If they were to confront China directly, I would guess the US and the west are much more likely to take a containment approach like they did with the USSR.
One of my favourite outages was my TV cable - I was sat in a government NOC and called them during lunch. Was lucky I had a phone that had a loudspeaker (was late 90's) and was able to share the excuse for poor intermittent reception - "Sir, your signal is poor as you live on a hill and the it has problems going up hill thru the cable".

Another one around same time same government building and was running Videoconferencing over 2Mbps circuits. Would get intermittent glitches - turned out the Q bearer for the line comming in was old and whilst other networking was fine running over that and the odd few bits messed up on networking could be retransmitted alas TCP/IP, for video, such hits stood out. Replaced that and worked lovely.

But weather related issue for networking would always be the go to, often heavy rain would mess up some microwave link or CAB unit and cause issues.

Another favourite was TZ spikes and had issue which saw call congestion around 3pm every day in the UK on these batch of modems - turned out that was when America woke up and would see a surge in calls, saturating/spiking the capacity for the telco provider and artificially capping our incoming call lines before we hit our capacity.

Then the seasonal ones like birds nesting or tree's growing or a tree ok but when the wind was north west over a certain speed it would blip between the microwave link - microwave links can be so much fun for the gotcha issues that can happen.
For a different angle on cloud infrastructure visualization, check out Abridge (https://abridge.io). I'd love to get any feedback on the idea / site and even a trial, if you're interested!

Abridge collects data across your configured set of AWS accounts & regions. It doesn't draw architecture diagrams, but instead will give you x-vs-y visualizations for a number of different relationships .. IAM users vs. groups, Lambda functions vs. runtimes, EC2 instances vs. keypair, etc.

It'll also provide inventory tables / CSV dumps of the different resource types, and simple free search across all resources.

Security-wise, Abridge collects data via cross-account trusts with the SecurityAudit role, and expires all collected data after 48 hours - more at https://abridge.io/security/.
We have to recognize the problem before we can work up the courage. And unfortunately, most people don’t recognize the problem. Worse, there is a tendency for some people to smear you as a right wing Trump supporter when you criticize China.

I have a bird feeder in my small back garden. Sometimes there is a lot of activity - mainly chickadees, finches and goldfinches competing for the feeder perches. When this happens, a hummingbird often shows up and seems to just be watching the activity. (I don't have a hummingbird feeder). I have no idea why it does this.

> I could set my f2b rules to expire after days

Why would you let the rule be shorter when the attack are more targeted? Doesn't make sense to me to lower it.

> not see any performance impact from a big iptables blocklist.

Wouldn't it be a pretty marginal performance impact? Let say you do get a performance impact significant, then the goal isn't security, it's performance. That's a new thing, performance by obscurity!

> I could also set up alerts on failed login attempts since I wasn't getting inundated with noise.

So you are looking for failed login attempts more now? I have an hard time believing this, but as I said in my previous message, if that was what made it more secure, it's a pretty important step to add, as I would ignore them whether it's 1000 an hour or 10 a week.

I'm curious, what would you even do if you were to see a failed attempt? At what point will you act and how would you act? Anything I can think of is meaningless.
Wait, this graphing tool literally requires you to deploy Neptune, Elasticsearch, ECS, various VPC's/gateways, publish various reports to S3, run Lambda functions, and then after all that the minimum cost is $500+/month?

Luckily it appears to be a "solution" instead of a core AWS product, otherwise I was about to say AWS has turned into a parody of itself.

From what I can tell, this is intraspecies competition.

In Southern Africa, we have a situation whereby not all woodpecker species can peck the holes from start to end.

The ones who start the holes look similar to the ones in the article, but they are black, white and yellow with red flecks [1]. Then there is a smaller orange, white and black one that either steals the former's nest or uses an old hole, after which it proceeds to do some interior decoration and expansion. This rather fashionable bird is also the emblem of the University of Johannesburg. [2] [3]

There are some other woodpecker species, but these two are quite common in places where I have lived and although I am not an ethologist, I believe the comment about their interaction is accurate. The Crested Barbet is somewhat bigger than the Hoopoe, so it would be interesting to know the full picture behind their symbiosis.
