Congratulations. Nicely done.

There's a droll quote from a political to the effect "I have to find out where my voters are going, so that I can lead them."

As you know, waterdowned legislation is sometimes passed to blunt or diffuse a competitor's initiative. And the rest of Seattle absolutely does not want Sawant's name in headlines.

Other Councilmembers may not like Sawant, but they absolutely respect her as a politician, especially noting that she does a great job representing her constituents. (Source: served on local Dems e-board, have had many sidebar convos.)

For my part, I'm really uncomfortable with the notion of backseat drivers. I expect the person I vote for to do the work. But given her successes, I need to reassess Sawant's decision making process. Thanks for nudging me.
It would be cool to see a diagram of of they work.
Sorry to be unclear, and thanks for alerting me to it. I was talking about ongoing energy prices, not just initial infrastructure investment. According to the US Department of Energy, our reactors are expected to last for 80+ years.¹ But solar panels and wind turbines can wear out in 20. So I expect France’s energy to stay cheaper in the future, even if it takes a while to convert the last 25% to nuclear, and for Germany’s costs to continue rising, like California’s. Not to mention France’s 7 times lower CO₂ emissions per capita, or nuclear’s 400 times lower land use.

But in reality what happens is that it recommends the same shows over and over. So pretty soon the 50 or so shows fall into two categories. Things you have no desire to watch or things you've already watched. Making it feel like the catalog is _EVEN_ smaller than it already is. Why it puts things you have already watched into the normal categories when they are already in the "watch it again" category I will never know. Plus, if you happen to watch say horror/scifi/action movies, you will find a movie sitting in three+ different rows reducing the overall selection even further.

I sometimes scroll around on the wifes account to see if there is anything interesting there, because that is about the only place I ever see anything new on netflix. My account never shows me anything that isn't really bad b-movie fiction and documentaries. Where as my wife only gets the comedy and romance, the kids get all the "family" movies and animation. <sigh>

There is probably more there, but the only way to find it is 3rd party sites. If I happen to type something into the search bar there is pretty much a 99% chance netflix won't have it. At least on prime they seem to have a fairly deep catalog of older movies, even if 3/4 of them are pay per view.
There's a recurring argument on social media censorship that goes: "you wouldn't want the telephone company censoring phone conversations would you?" And the response is along the lines: "these are hardly private conversations, any tweet can go viral and be seen by millions".

This story breaks that mold in that it involves social media censoring private conversations via DM. If you think that's OK for Twitter on its platform, is it also OK for AT&T on its phone network? For Google on Gmail?

Signature -

The Suricata signature for this vulnerability is located in cve-2020-16898.rules and contains the following logic:

alert icmp any any -> any any (msg:"Potential CVE-2020-16898 Exploit"; lua:cve-2020-16898.lua; sid:202016898; rev:1;)

The corresponding Lua script may be found in cve-2020-16898.lua. It contains the logic necessary to properly parse the ICMPv6 layer and identify potential exploitation of Bad Neighbor, as follows:

Once we've located the start of the ICMPv6 layer, we test the first byte of the layer to ensure that it's a Router Advertisement ICMPv6 packet (Type = 134) - if it isn't, we exit.

Since Suricata primitives have not been updated to parse the ICMPv6 options, we simply jump to the 17th byte of the ICMPv6 layer, since that's where the Options should start, if present (the first 16 bytes are static-length fields, per RFC 4443). From there, we loop over every Option until we run out of bytes in the packet. For each Option, we're only interested in the first two bytes: the Option Type and Length fields, respectively. While we ignore all Options that aren't RDNSS, for Option Type = 25 (RDNSS), we check to see if the Length (second byte in the Option) is an even number. If it is, we flag it. If not, we continue. Since the Length is counted in increments of 8 bytes, we multiply the Length by 8 and jump ahead that many bytes to get to the start of the next Option (subtracting 1 to account for the length byte we've already consumed).

With this rule, we also check to make sure that the Length is at least 3, since RFC 8106 requires it, but ultimately this check may be superfluous, since we're only concerned with whether the Length is even or not.

Same re university nightmares! I still occasionally get nightmares that I'm deep into a class, and I realize I haven't been doing any homework or even going to the class and I start wondering how I'm going to fix that mess and how the heck I let it happen.

267Gpa isn't unreasonable to achieve 'in the home'.

For example, if you had a rod of the superconducting material 1mm in diameter, and you wrapped it tightly with a strand of Kevlar (tensile strength 3.6GPa) until it became 100mm diameter, then the center would have a suitable pressure...
> teachers and staff monitor halls

I mean, my school tried that - they implemented a hall sweeping program where teachers locked their doors and security would try to catch all the students in the halls. It didn't really prevent it because they couldn't constantly hall sweep all of the halls during the entire school day (and it increased the number of students entering other classrooms randomly to try to hide from the security guards) and it was also super racially biased in its enforcement.

> It can't be that many kids doing it every class and having teachers and staff monitor halls

No, it is quite a few students. You underestimate the dysfunction in the typical inner city school.

> Simple enough to take report that to whoever in the school handles discipline

And do what to discipline them? Kick them out of school?

> not worry so much about attendance so long as they hand in their work and get decent enough grades.

In an urban environment, "not worrying about attendance" translates to a. to very upset parents (esp. among working-class parents who are not at home and view education as a route to success), b. failing low-income students, c. more crime.

Urban schools are hard to fix!

Is the NY Post considered a serious newspaper over there?
This fits the 'novel, unexpected, and unusual' byline that provide the perfect butter for things to go viral. Pseudo-science often has these features sadly (not to assume he's wrong here, even clocks strikes right, etc).

From a 1995 NYTimers article about the author George Elby

> MORE than 10 years ago, George A. Eby, a city planner turned self-educated pharmacologist, made headlines with a study showing that zinc lozenges could cut down the average length of a cold to about 4 days from nearly 11. [...] Although several studies have subsequently supported Mr. Eby's initial findings, others have found no such link between zinc and the common cold.

I'd keep my bullshit meter slightly higher on this one.

It sounds good though
This is why I prefer mini-series to full on series. It's a complete self-contained story.

There weren't that many multi-season shows that I loved and had a decent ending - usually it gets milked to death that main actors quit and then either show cancelled (Castle) or get a new actor and suck (x-files).

Some shows have awful resurrection - 24, I loved the entire thing except for "reboot" and last season.

Some shows have honest writers, BSG reboot was clearly getting too convoluted and had to be ended before it cancelled.

Some shows try to pivot to tumbler fanfics for content - Supernatural. Which was dumb because people were interested in such stories were already watching it.

> If you have a new series, all potential viewers are potential viewers. If you have a season 3, the only potential viewers are season 2 watchers.

That doesn't always top factor. Some shows can generate money outside of screen - merch. That's how supernatural stayed so long.
So you're saying the cost of the iPhone 11 and 12 is the same? Also, why does it matter? These devices were never sold anywhere near their real cost and people still bought them, and still will.
That might give you fondness. Or disgust. In his case, I have no data about which one won.
that's a fair point, just if its not true its pretty easy to say "not true, fake news" instead, what the answer that's provided is "we checked the schedule and didn't see it there" which is kinda suspicious.

Like the censorship of "misinformation" would be more persuasive then I think.
Thank you! That's definitely a good one; just wanted to flesh out a little what each slide in the deck is meant to accomplish -- and how to knit it all together into a coherent narrative.
The scarier part is that Facebook is censoring the post from being sent between private messages. This is dangerous territory.
The problem is a lazy media. The headline becomes “$699.”
Hasn't it always been this way?

The emperor has been naked for a very long time but most people seem to care just enough to attack the messengers.
I find it deeply fascinating that a certain percentage of Internet commenters feel compelled to make unprompted public predictions, rather than waiting for reality to unfold.
School is tough for sure, but it can be seen as a place to learn coping strategies against shitty people. In remote learning (or homeschooling), kids are sheltered from these problems until later in life, where they have to compete against much higher baseline level of competency and in situations where stakes are higher. So, maybe school is bad, but no school is worse?
the stranglehold of the two party system buoyed by corporate cash means that they only have to seem a tiny bit less bad than the other party.

for better representation and a better society, we need election and campaign finance reform asap. unfortunately that doesn't serve the desires of the politicians or the entrenched parties, so we need to get creative about how to realign those incentives.
I disagree. Despite what you may think about the NY Post, this is a big story about a current presidential candidate's son, in regards to major corruption that involves his father directly.

You can say they're lying, that's one thing. But to prevent the story from a major news publication from going out entirely .. that's narrative building. Big tech is shaping narrative. This story, even to refute it, is no where on CNN's front page.

This belongs on HackerNews because it's about big tech and big censorship. We are seeing unprecedented steps being taken to mark and judge stories by social media companies, and yet they're still trying to claim they're not publishers for the purposes of section 203.
Exactly. What happened in the 1990s was a major consolidation of all retailers, including bookstores.

This created limited shelf space, which, in turn, put pressure on publishers to consolidate their authors into a few mega best-sellers, whom they then were completely reliant on. One Stephen King or James Patterson was enough to pay for 9 underperforming titles.

Major publishers also consolidated, from many into the so-called Big Six, which then became the Big Five. Five major publishers own the whole industry. Most publishers you've heard of are an imprint of one of those, or else it's a small press with very limited distribution.

All that consolidation has an effect. It narrows the gates, and gives rise to an industry that grows reliant on gatekeepers.

Why did the great consolidations happen? Why is everything trending towards a multi-national mega-conglomerate? I think I know, but that's a story for another day.
Thanks, the megadrive actually has the master system hardware in it. I've got an everdrive and I can play master system ROMs on it. It's actually a Japanese megadrive that I own, I want to dig it out and see if the sound is better!
Zoom offers a service to record meetings in the cloud, as almost all providers do. So they can intercept, and can probably be compelled to do so by court order.

E2E is something nerds complain about.
>Wouldnt that be the first thing you'd do if this wasnt true?

If i was Joe Biden and the yellow press came after me honestly I'd do exactly what Joe Biden does and ignore them rather than giving them oxygen.

If people like Biden or Clinton responded every time someone tries to capitalise on some bullshit attached to their name they'd not be doing anything else
The key test to me is - can the thing actually be purchased at the listed price or not. In the case of hotels, for example, the resort fee often isn't optional.
So you think just because other people disagree with you they shouldn't have a voice? What if Guido really like the macro proposal and wanted to fast track it?
Well, he co-authored a compiler. From what your link says, he wasn't part of the committee that created the language.
I think you may be talking past each other. @petergeoghegan referenced pg_stat_activity which is a system view; now his response to you is definitely a non-sequitur, but he's right.

Now of course your statement about pg_stat_monitor is correct, too. But you missed when you questioned Peter since he was talking about something different.

Fun fact: Peter Geoghegan is a PostgreSQL major contributor per https://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/, pretty sure he's a committer as well.
Sports can sometimes show a lot of character, in a different way than things like band or school play do. Think about the amount of hard training it takes to become, for example, a state champion distance runner, or wrestler. It takes more internal strength to run 10 miles every day than to practice the flute.
I used to do it before discovering Taskwarrior. See my most recent reply on another thread[0].

Hey Mitchell, congrats on the new announcements, great stuff! Out of curiosity, how are you building and operate HCP? Are you running it on top of Kubernetes or Nomad, or you're doing some other custom stuff?
Is it Tesla fault that other manufactures are dumb? Every company plays with the same regulatory framework. People here want more regulation to force companies to go green but then relentlessly clown companies that play well within these regulation.

Tesla was well on its way to profitability, and would have easily been without Corona. They managed to make a little profit anyway because the used credit sales. Even without Credits they would have had impressive results given the global situation.

In Q3 Tesla will make a profit way beyond credits and then this 'lets distract from reality' story-line can die too. And in Q4 people who made this argument will really start to look incredibly dumb.

Tesla is making money because they have really fantastic margin on their cars and have really good ROI but instead of talking about that everybody deflected and made fun of them that they made profit 'only' because of credits.
Very true - simplicity is probably the #1 thing I emphasize. Often founders are so in the weeds that they forget investors are learning about their company for the very first time, and information overload is real.
We use OPA for use cases ranging from kubernetes admission control, to microservice authorization and CI/CD pipeline policies. It's one of those tools you can't realize you could have lived without once you start using it.
Proving my point here thank you :). It's not really great for kids either, given the crazy level of anxiety I see in my peers who attended those schools because of all the pressure from their childhood.
Ask HN: A story-telling intro to Probability and Stats?
Is there a book that introduces probability and/or stats through means of story telling and puzzles? I love math books such as "To Mock A Mocking Bird" and "Calculus Made Easy" and even though they're very different in nature I still didn't find anything like them for probability theory, but would love to read one if it exists
Delaying the story in today's fast moving news environment is effectively censoring it. Who is fact checking this? Who fact checks the fact checkers? This is classic Orwellian bullshit and its getting worse by the day.

Stop calling them Fact Checkers and call them by what they are: The Ministers of Truth.
Lightning ports are not more durable than USB-C. They are extremely prone to the device-side conductor corroding. USB mini made the mistake of making the device side contain a friction wear item, but USB micro fixed that but had other endurance issues due to its flimsiness. USB C doesn’t suffer from any of those drawbacks.
Maximum interoperability is always a good thing.

I don't think Freaks and Geeks is a great example, because it's one of the classic cases where people really wish there had been more than one season. It's clear that it was not out of steam after one season.

There's a difference between stories told with a self-contained timeline on their own terms (a la Fleabag), and having the rug pulled out from under something that isn't resolved.
A body count of 4 hardly puts him in the running for "greatest villain". But it's an important observation that he's rather a horrible person.

His treatment of Ophelia is dreadful. Laying her death at his feet is an overstatement, but "misogyny, gaslighting and open sexual harassment" isn't. The deaths of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are undeserved: they don't know that they're bringing Hamlet to his death.

He could perhaps be forgiven (in the violent context of the setting) the death of Polonius, but he's being deliberately obtuse in his fake justification of "How now, a rat!" That's not madness or heat of the moment: he knew it was murder. He might not be lying that he thought it was Claudius, though he'd just seen Claudius and decided not to kill him.

That switch, at least, drives some interesting choices for the actor and director. Hamlet's nowhere near the greatest villain, but he's not a good person, either. The play gives performers a great opportunity to find a base for him and picking that through his many inconsistencies: being able to play that strong commitment at every moment can yield a great performance. But it's a challenge to find something you can commit to.

Good point about producing "content".

"Content" is to series, movies and films what "grub" is to good food and fine dining. When creators say "content", they in a way degrade the quality of their own work (they should sell it as the equivalent of good food or fine dining, not as "grub"); when those that watch just call it "content" they probably don't have a very deep connection to it: So much better when the viewers come away from something and think of it as a story, and experience, a show, rather than "content".
Here is what the paper says:

Phase 1.

(a) A proposer selects a proposal number n and sends a prepare request with number n to a majority of acceptors.

(b) If an acceptor receives a prepare request with number n greater than that of any prepare request to which it has already responded, then it responds to the request with a promise not to accept any more proposals numbered less than n and with the highest-numbered proposal (if any) that it has accepted.

Important part of the statement is

...with a promise not to accept any more proposals numbered less than n...

So, Phase-1 promise is not on the proposer-identity, but on the proposal-number.
Do social networks frequently censor the NY Post?
Honestly I'd like to not have a NAS at all anymore. I moved from a 4k sqft house to an 800 sqft apartment with a ton of hard drives (I've had this reliable 14 disc tower for years so it has a mix of HD's that could be consolidated if I wanted), so having a NAS sitting in my small closet already is a bit annoying. I'd rather not have anything like that around anymore and just be able to stream from s3 would be great, especially if I want to move across the country / world again and don't have to worry about hardware.
I had the same thought. There’s a particular interview about that where the writer confessed that after trying out the flute he fell into a serious coughing fit.

But I thought it was more for Cystic Fibrosis than Obstructive Pulmonary disease (they do have their own breathing exercises and devices to increase breathing muscles and lung capacity though).
So, so many small and medium businesses online leaking the private customer information because of poorly made plugins. Nothing can shame them enough and the easiest solution is that they should stop using Wordpress plugins, and in that case it's better to use something else entirely.
Sure not everything matches up. The Ministry of Truth was government, but in America the same type of group exists and it's private. They don't have to rewrite history. They're rewriting the present.
You're not wrong, just totally off topic. :D
I skimmed through your sample chapters and you do make good points!

But wouldn't it be a better approach for an applicant to focus on an open source project for showing off rather than reading a 200 page book?
I always describe The OA as not necessarily "good" per se, but extremely interesting and unique. I would really like to have seen where they were going with it.
