You should definitely use SELinux or AppArmor. For any production workload I do.

But for any production workload I don't allow SSH over the public internet. I require a VPN connection to a subnet that only has jumphost(s), the jumphost access logs are shipped to an ELK stack, SSH requires both a key + MFA to login to the jumphost, and SSH between production servers is blocked and alarmed on.
My hunch the roads aren't super suitable for modern machinery either.

> The US is claiming that the reason the statute of limitations doesn't apply is "terrorism".

The US AG is currently classifying 3 cities where protests are occurring as 'anarchist jurisdictions' so it's a fair bet that the truth of words hold no water to this administration.
Thats not how any of this works. The problem with a market is you have a rate that if something is below it its not profitable for people to live in a place. Idk why people blame the building owners.

And people who do this are always people with perfectly good couches in their living rooms but would never let a homeless person sleep there, but want others to give up a entire building.

Pretty dubious about those in this thread running the "Oh, goodness those poor banks having to enforce these laws ... how does anyone expect them to do that ?". A fundamental skill of banks is assessing risk and reacting to it, I would have thought reacting to money laundering falls within that.

The part of this story (scroll to "What was the Ponzi scheme") https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-54225572 that mentions a scam targetting US citizens which HSBC "sort of noticed" but didn't do anything about until it was too late is suggestive of priorities.

Why is it in kg if it’s in the US?
Bad businesses need to fail. Especially the ones who break the law and an enable crime.

I’m simply suggesting making the fines more expensive than it’s worth to do the crime in the first place. Why should we let the banks profit off their crimes? Take the profit out and they would start following the law.
Rock on - so true - the web used to be a safe place to express oneself; now, saying the wrong thing results in hundreds of negative comments and F/J-finger wagging.

It would be great to get back to more individualism on the web.
It's a lot more than theoretical that he was blowing smoke. It's almost certain that he was. Assange is personally aware of how to crack NTLM hashes. If there was any actual intent to crack that hash I'd expect to see a lot more follow up in the conversation... like "ok I'm running john/hashcat with the common word list... how about you upload the SAM/try mimikatz? What do you know about the local password complexity policy?", and stuff like that.. but there's none of it.

If "I'll ask a guy" is all that's required to make something into a conspiracy that is incredibly, mindblowingly flimsy.
Would you also bail out those who bet on black and got red?

When you bail out something like Ford you keep it running and collect tax revenue. If you don't, factories stop and the business essentially disappears.

When a landlord goes bust nothing happens, other the financial loss for the landlord.
The more pressure banks are under to stop all money laundering, the worse banking will be. It'll only force them to be more invasive, and increase the false-positives for money laundering.

When transferring a large amount of money to Mexico as part of a business deal my bank flagged it as suspicious (fair enough!) and froze my entire account. But getting unfrozen wasn't a quick call, it was a painful 3 month process that cost me a both immense amount of stress and financial hardship.

I don't really understand why people would think banks should play the role of law-enforcement, when it's something they are so clearly not equipped to do (in resources, legal powers and incentives).
What's the definition of success? I spend far too much time on the Fediverse (mastodon) and if success is measured by the amount of time I spend there, it's the most successful service I use.

Of course, there are few if any political leaders or CEO's posting there, but that's not a definition of success to me.

I have thought about what would happen if someone like, say, Musk would proclaim that they're quitting Twitter and setting up a Mastodon instance instead. I'm not sure the Fediverse would be better off if that happened.
Only related because NY, but NY state covid 19 new cases have been incredibly flat since June. I would think they'd trend closer to zero, up some, or just bounce around more. Normally, new cases are driven up by complacency and down by fear or policy, but there doesn't seem to be either happening quickly and subtly enough to keep new cases between 500 and 1000 for so long, and r0 should be metastable, so keeping it in that range for so long is unexpected.
It would be much more akin to saying you generated a revenue or cash flow of a million in exchange for a liability of a million. It would require an extreme feat of verbal and mental gymnastics to call that savings.

If creating debt == savings we would not limit ourselves to merely 135% because there is no downside to savings.

The US is not immortal at least it is certainly not guaranteed to be.

And as much as it hides the uglier realities of having to think through the mechanics of actually running a government, the assumption that the US has an unlimited capacity to monetize debt, even given it's current (and deteriorating) defacto reserve currency status, has never been a meaningful framework for thinking about monetary policy

Which would make sense except there are plenty of metropolitan areas which are not physically constrained or suffering horrendous zoning issues which also have the issue.

My last role was for an awesome team building a product that ended up making no money , which lead to most of us getting the sack once Covid came along (that and half the board defrauding the company to the tune of billions). We all knew that the product would flop, but no one at a level to change the strategy wanted to hear it. Perhaps that was a cultural problem, but I'd say that culture and strategy are inherently interconnected.

> A renter signs a contract promising to pay rent.

They should use the force majeure clause to terminate their contracts and the landlords could sue if they don't like that. A pandemic is not unlike a flood or earthquake. This is exactly why such a clause exists in contracts.

My boss negotiates a lower rent during a crisis. It’s fair enough. Would the landlord prefer a smaller amount to none at all?

Ask HN: How do I start building an underground community
Consider this a thought experiment:

1. Community of 200 people.
2. All dwellings underground or in half sunken earth bermed homes.
3. If the terrain is mountains, they building partly on the facade.
4. Underground greenhouses for aquaponics or hydroponics to capture.
5. Orchards and grain/livestock above ground
6. Entertainment and recreational facilities above ground
7. For the underground dwellings, capturing earths geo thermal energy for passive heat.
8. Light tubes and massive windows to let in a lot of light.

Challenges:

Waste management
Humidity control
Air flow/ventilation

The idea is to exploit subterranean housing just like we did with vertical sky scrapers. Perhaps it makes more sense to go below than to build above.

Thoughts?
And then you want to give them my money, taken from me by force by the government.
Yeah, I had a job where only certain teams had on call rotations. Anyone in those rotations got an extra half day off per week on call.

I've also seen folks spotted extra time off for really gnarly oncall shifts. Folks should push to have such accommodations standardized.
These multiple people were professor and their students. The main value for that particular project wasn’t coconuts nor product development, it was education. In that light the project is awesome, pretty sure the students learned tons of valuable things about hardware design debugging and testing, embedded software, coconut farming, and many others.

From product development point of view, I think a team of 3-5 smart and experienced people is likely to deliver better result in a couple of months, given reasonable amount of funding to purchase commercially available components.
This ignores the fact that if there were such obvious financial incentives, then restaurant owners would simply just buy said properties.

'Property management' is a real thing and businesses don't want to necessarily own property.

Managing property is a service like any other - and rates for their goods are market based - just like any other market.

"If a landlord is rendered insolvent, they aren't even rendered destitute;" - ? why do you assume that? Property owners are often leveraged like many other businesses. If x% of their portfolio goes bust - they go bust.

There might be opportunities to make things a little bit more fair one way or another, but it's not rational to single out one form of business as being 'better or worse' than another.

What could be reformed is the fact that economic rent is not really valuable for society at large. 'Trading playing cards' benefits nobody, we should be investing in value creating operations.
What's really crazy is that movie theaters in this state aren't allowed to open, but still have to pay their property taxes (which will likely bankrupt them).

I have no love for some of them, but bullshit is bullshit.
That's awesome...what a massive productivity jump from manual pruning. Requires a pretty expensive and modern tractor though.
Well most people use one of a few big email providers, not small individual mail servers run by tech-savvy friends or family.

I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing, but I think for federated services to catch on, you need big players that provide reliable service and a recognizable brand. The average person is not going to want to search through thousands of small federated servers to try and find one that works for them. And running a single server might be simple and inexpensive, but making it reliable and secure is not.
Why? Engineers switch jobs all the time.
I don’t want restaurants with good locations to lose their spot, even if it means bailing out landlords.

Subsidizing the restaurants without getting anything in return seems like a misallocation of capital.

Allowing 'creative destruction' on a massive scale is harmful to social stability and frankly just cruel. People didn't plan for it, because it is implied in our various social contracts that they don't need to(and that may be wrong, but this is not the time to fix that).

We should consider subsidizing the restaurants to continue to do what they do best: provide food. We need to meet in the middle and provide some assistance while still getting 'wealth'(desired goods and services in this case) but not fully subsidizing empty buildings and idle employees. The delivery or pick-up models work in a pandemic, but they fail to provide enough profit to keep businesses open. Let's bridge that gap.

This isn't the time to test out your ideologically pure political/economic/social theories. We need to be pragmatic and get our people and economy through this crisis.
That would work in a normal market but the realestate market hasn't been allowed to correct because we keep bailing it out by having the fed buy up all the debt. This raises rent because it decreases the supply (people can just hold onto buildings as investments and not bother renting them out or wait for someone willing to pay something that should be above market value) and also raises inflation.

Let me explain it to you simply: The landlords made a bad investment, bailing them out forces everyone else to pay for it. In the "it's my property" sense it's identical to forcing someone to house homeless people (although the comparison still isn't the same because the landlords generally don't live in the buildings they're renting out.)

I think only olives are harvested like that. Table (i.e. non-juice) apples are too fragile to knock to the ground. For berries, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt73GOk4JRY. Strawberries are different because they're practically on the ground.

Not to discount your point. Coconuts don't work like any of these.

I thought it was obscene for some studios to charge upwards of $30 for their movie, and then not kick back some of that to theatres. It probably wouldn't take much to tide them over. They aren't running much in the way of expenses other than rent.

Would have been a great tag to their sales pitch. But it's like they don't even think about theatres.
You can't end with "this isn't the time for ideology" after three paragraphs of YOUR ideology.

For some restaurants, takeout is easy and they can make it work! For others, it really really isn't. What about bars, where most money is made on alcohol?

You got it backward. These restaurants all presumably paid taxes and employed people, some for literally a century. Why do you expect them right now, when they're suffering the most, to "give something back" if they don't want to die?
Good!
Maybe a different, privacy-respecting social network can rise after FB’s departure.

Where I live, some of these places are still open, but restricted numbers and may-or-may-not take bookings (and are usually full anyway), that's even assuming the other person feels comfortable travelling somewhere.
The Church committee[1] in '75 did some good work to reign in the worst of the intelligence communities work. Most of that has been undone by now though.

The CIA's work on LSD wasn't the worst thing going on and - surprisingly to me - the intelligence agencies were far from the worst. Eg, there was a Sloan-Kettering Institute researcher who injected live cancer cells into unwitting humans through out the 1950s and 60s[2]. Or in 1952 a Detroit Hospital administered radioactive iodine to premature babies, and fed it via a tube to healthy non-premature babies. Or the doctor who administered 100 or more rads of radiation after forging consent forms.

I would love some SnapOns, or something of equal quality, but it’s near impossible to find for regular people. Any tips on how to acquire them, or recommendations for equal alternatives?
I'm not sure I agree completely with this. Defaulting to "on" and only rarely going to "off" would, at least in the teams I've worked, result in the "off" path being much less tested and more likely to contain regressions.

If, then, the "off" state is meant as an emergency oops-this-new-code-didnt-work-well-at-all-lets-revert-to-a-safe-state then having it be the less tested state seems like a problem waiting to happen.

In other words, by defaulting to "on", you get two states that are likely to contain bugs: the on state, because it contains new code, and the off state, because it's the less rigorously exercised configuration.

The nice thing about defaulting to off is that in that case, the off state will contain both old, known code, and be rigorously exercised. The on state will be the brittle one, but it would be anyway on account of running the new code.

I guess we can both agree defaults may seem pedantic but matter a lot.

TLDR; listen, speak, write , and read as much as possible with the curiosity and faith of a child

disclaimer I study a lot of languages, can speak Russian, and have been trying to get deeper into Japanese without losing my other skills for the past year.

For Russian I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the Cyrillic alphabet to become faster at word recognition when glancing at material. Since Russian is written fairly standard for general use (as long as it isn’t cursive) which makes an app such as duolingo perfect for beginning in the language.

Japanese on the other hand is not as standardized in writing form. You have three parts to the alphabet, if you will, hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Kanji are Chinese characters that are blended with hiragana to form sentences. Katakana is used for the plethora of foreign loan words, onomatopoeia, or words being emphasized. I have heard people start on duolingo, but I’m not sure how well it works beyond the very basic. I’ve heard the key for Japanese is to diversify and amplify input.

To break down some general rules when starting a new language:

- familiarize yourself with as many aspects of the language as possible

- Consume as much media as your brain and schedule can permit for the language of your focus

- Copying down sentences and phrases and reading them under your breath while doing so is invaluable. (You’ll notice children doing this when learning to read and write)

- Use an app to measure progress visually and to keep you diligent whether it’s duolingo, AnkiApp, memrise, etc

- Use YouTube videos, radio, films to measure your listening comprehension

-* In private* Do your best to mimic, mock, even make fun of the accent and speech patterns you’re picking up as though you’re a cartoon. You can even switch between languages but keeping the accent. This will help entrain your mind to create more authentic sounding replication of the language at hand.

- Japanese workbooks are very helpful to get reading and writing down but the same can be done by making a friend and texting or emailing back and forth, or reading/writing comments on Japanese forums, chat rooms and the like.

- Overall don’t sweat the small things like vocabulary as long as you are studying new words and noticeably understanding new phrases then you’re on the right track and you’ll realize if you’ve heard or seen something more than once it’s in your brain forever.

The point about on-call is really critical and really on-point.

If a company thinks an application is important enough to run 24x7 then it should staff for 24x7 support. Stealing wages from workers by expecting them to be available 24x7 (on-call) is an absolute abuse.

It also leads to burn out, poor performance during the day (how is a dev's development ability when they were up at 2:30am on an incident call the night before?), and clouded thinking causing mistakes or impacting recovery time during incidents.
