Extraordinary amounts of work are done without DNS. And even if it weren't, this is nothing like DNS because you can choose your own DNS servers and most people have a primary and a fallback.

Where can I set trustd to use a different OCSP server? What is Apple's recommended secondary OCSP server?
An important notion is that this is an in vitro study, people who appear to 'like' chili peppers are associated with
"a 26% relative reduction in cardiovascular mortality;
a 23% relative reduction in cancer mortality; and
a 25% relative reduction in all-cause mortality."

which is absolutely massive. so either chili peppers are the new superfood which trumps all others or the more likely boring explanation is that chili pepper eaters had the best health outcome of all N foods studied. Suffice to say that chili pepper fans are different to the populace in more ways than one. these kinds of broad studies seem to be a waste of time in my honest opinion. Studies seem to be attempting to crown one particular ingredient or lifestyle and apply that over the whole population thereby destroying the effects of certain diets on the individual. I'm positive that more imformation could be gained by trialling small dietary changes with a control group and measuring the mentioned health markers.

It goes without saying that its easy for me to criticise but I still appreciate all the studies
At that point what’s the difference between this and Android

How many major phones can you buy with AOSP installed by default today?

How much development gets done on AOSP that isn't at least heavily influenced by the direction Google takes?

Does AOSP provide comprehensive privacy and security options for users but still freely connect with other devices and services using open standards?

Obviously if you're going to be Linux-based and if we're assuming some degree of compatibility with Android APIs to make porting apps easy then there is going to be common ground with AOSP, but I don't think that makes it the only or necessarily the best option.
App Idea: Gitpoddable
It shows a filtered list of Github Repositories which work without further configuration on Gitpod, so that new developments can be quickly added without making the project Gitpod-compatible.

Could be a manually concierged site at first.
Presumably because they promised the service in return for the purchase of a Pixel device, not its continued use.
I find many of these companies the opposite of prestigious.

They are shameful.

It's a symptom of how screwed up this world is that people would actually want to work for them and consider it an honor to do so.
I've been fiddling with ublock on how to disable this. would've never guessed about the settings in google account. this should've been disabled by default or an option on the pop-up to permanently disable it.

AnandTech's analysis corroborates what DeRock is saying here about the x86 variable length instructions being the limiting factor on how wide the decode stage can be.

The other factor is Apple is using a "better" process node (TSMC 5nm). I put it in quotes because Intel's 10nm and upcoming nodes may be competitive, but Intel's 14nm is what Apple gets to compete against today, right now.

Intel has been defeated in detail.
99.9% is far too unreliable for something so fundamental as whether you can run programs on your own computer, especially when the downtime is unscheduled and occurs in the middle of the day.

It should be at least five nines, preferably six nines. Anything less than that is absolutely inexcusable.
That doesn't sound like a terrible idea if you can make the torpedo go fast enough.
I don't think they (employers/government) should end maternity or paternity leave. What I DO think they should do is give a similar one- or two-time leave period to single people also, and that would come with societal resources so they can do something like content creation or another project such as go back to school and learn something.

For example, I blog, write scientific papers, and create video content. I'm not interested in being a parent. I think it would be a great contribution to society if I got 'maternity leave' time to just create content. I give most of it away for free and so far thousands of people have enjoyed my creations.

I think society would benefit from encouraging those who might not want to have children to choose a different path that is also distinguished and comes with societal support.
This is an extremely reasonable criticism.

Quite unlike most of the critiques we saw on the original post.
As a whole, people with mental health issues are more likely to be abused and harmed than those who don't. The rate of violence in those with mental health issues is the same as the general population.

Suicide rates are a separate issue.
I enjoyed reading this article, it makes me think of a farside comic or the like.

The troll in me wants to say, they wasted 70 euros and a weeks worth of work when a two euro pillow case, a couple of rocks and a trip to the river would have been easier and more effective.

The truth is I could never do that and I really like cats, so instead I would say, if the designer built on their concept and trapped then caged the cat, kept it in their house for a week or so, their cats would become accustomed to it. Chances are if it was a stray the owners would post flyers then they could return it whilst informing them of it's miscreant behavior. If it was truly feral, a week in a cage would be enough to keep it away for quite a while and if it returned just rinse and repeat, it will get the message soon enough.

Finaly, my cat is an inside cat so I wont ever have this problem. I know it's hard and almost impossible to turn an outside cat into an inside one, but there is no issues if you raise them as inside cats in the beginning.
Serious studies are being done all the time. The "anti military history" positions expressed in the blog post are not reflective of the position some monolithic "board of academics" who control all the funding and classes. They are opinions that are sometimes held by some individuals in a diverse field, who sometimes are in positions to deny or attempt to deny funding in local situations.

Serious research is being done, serious books and papers published, serious courses and lessons are taught.

If you want a technologist analogy, there are some parallels to what I assume PHP or Perl communities might be like. Whenever you go out into the broader world, you need to acknowledge how everyone else likes to take potshots at your language, and then move on to explain why your language meets certain needs anyways. And in the end, all the pot shots taken at PHP or Perl don't remove any of the immediate needs.
> It just feels weird to take a short-term loan (whatever the interest rate) when I have the cash to cover the loan. And if I don’t have the cash to cover the margin loan, I should be working on increasing my emergency fund instead.

I see. Would your thinking change if your emergency fund was sufficiently large but much smaller than your investable cash?

For example, let's say your rainy day fund was $10, and you have $100. You have $90 to invest. In this case, the short-term loan you're taking out could range from $0-270 (the majority of cases would not be covered by your rainy day fund).
"You probably shouldn't inject Ketamine into someone who has suffered cardiac arrest or brain death after being forcibly restrained."

Pretty sure the ketamine was before cardiac arrest and brain death. Isn't that the claim - the ketamine caused those issues...

"Instead you suggest the only plausible alternatives to forced Ketamine injection is him getting his bones broken or 9mm bullet in his body. That mindset is exactly the problem."

What mindset is that? What are you suggesting as an alternative once someone has started fighting, (reportedly) grabbing for a weapon, and continuing to struggle once restrained?

It would be great if we had video to confirm that the injection was justified in this specific case. I would have also liked to see what the actions were leading up to the encounter.
I set up a rule on my router to drop any DNS traffic and DoH traffic to well known DNS providers unless it comes from the server running pihole. Otherwise it was proving very hard to find out how to force applications / mobile devices to use my DNS server.
The internet is a malicious place, filled with the non-technical and uninformed.

I guess we’ll wait for you to design a better trust-based system that allows you to stop malicious software from executing on N different machines without needing N users to do anything.

Yup. I'm still bundling libgit2, it took a lot of effort to get it to work.

I've been working on dart-git https://github.com/GitJournal/dart-git and it's been slowly replacing most of libgit2. Eventually I would like to remove libgit2 completely and only have libssh2.

I would love to know more about your workflow.
> Guns in NYC are fairly rare

What, are you kidding? This is a crazy statement to make. Guns are everywhere here in NYC and everyone who lives in an actual NYC neighborhood knows this.

I've lived in NYC my whole life. I always knew kids that had handguns, I knew people that sold them, I knew people that would buy them every chance one came on their radar.

I was at my local deli today and heard a 45 year old gentleman telling another older person about the new Smith & Wesson they had for sale.

> that crime rate is dropping lower and lower

That's not really the "crime rate" that is dropping lower, but rather the number of crimes booked by police officers. Police spent months not responding to, nor intervening in, basically any crimes committed in NYC in 2020. The incidence of crimes committed against innocent citizens in NYC - as well as the gun crimes - all are rising dramatically, as anyone who lives here would be quick to tell you.

I am impressed with the amount of disinformation in this post, given how few words you actually wrote.
My understanding is that there were a lots of bugs in the current processors. It was quality issues.
Yeah I remember Xserve! But if anything it seems like it was evidence that Apple wasn't really able to "get" the server market, where hardware is a commodity and price and compatibility are basically the only concern. Not to say that couldn't change, especially if their own processors had a big advantage in price/performance, but there hasn't been a whole lot of evidence that they have what it takes to succeed in this space.
> Can you empathize with genius beyond your comrehension

Dogs have empathy for humans even though basically every human is an incomprehensible genius to a dog.
It only takes one to kill you? I think that's op's point.
I agree that app signing is good, but I disagree that we have to give in and accept the potential risks of fully trusting Apple. I think there is a practical middle way that protects non-technical users without usurping their privacy, and also a way to give same extra control to power users. I think it's fairly straightforward:

- instead of OCSP use CRLs or a better technique that allows MacOS to verify locally if a certificate is valid. This would preserve user privacy and wouldn't risk slowing down the user's computer in case things go wrong. It would also introduce slightly bigger risk because of the increase in the validity window, but I think that's a price worth paying. Regarding the size of the CRL's, there should be some cryptographic techniques like accumulators, bloom filters etc. that could improve the size.

- allow power users to add separate trust anchors in cases where they deem appropriate. The same way you go to Control Center to allow an app that was downloaded from the Internet to run, you could also be allowed to add another certificate from a developer you trust.

I think these 2 improvements could go a long way in restoring goodwill for Apple.
Do people take stuff out of their perf reviews and put them into the resume sometimes? I imagine most perf reviews are fairly focused on numbers as well, curious if there's an overlap of content that could go on a resume as well, my intuition says most probably there is.
I think that's a typo - the Apple Silicon M1 has a "ROB is in the 630 instruction range" - https://www.anandtech.com/show/16226/apple-silicon-m1-a14-de...

"ROB" and "OOO" might have gotten mixed together here.

OOO = Out-of-order. Refers to the fact that the M1 can decode instructions in parallel.

ROB = Re-Order Buffer. Refers to the stage where the parallel instructions get put back "in-order" and "retired."
We’ll Need More Than One Vaccine to Beat the Pandemic
Your tone here does not seem proportionally appropriate to the level of discourse this article is attempting.

The fact of the matter is that computers offer myriad ways to compromise your life and behave maliciously, and avoiding that is a tall challenge for any company. Apple is trying it their way, and you can try it yours. But to call it Stockholm Syndrome is an unfortunate take on these efforts.
Still asynchronous threaded conversations, just with video instead of text.

Definitely increases storage/processing/bandwidth costs. The question at hand is what is the value of the additional information that is retained. Text has the potential to alleviate a lot of bias around looks/gender/age/race, so it could even be a net negative, just seems interesting.
yeah, it's not sufficient for accessibility, ran lighthouse and outside of the title it's not ok
HN has always seemed to me to be a community that is moved by data-driven approaches, and this topic has a pretty clear motivation to reduce police violence. As a result, I think some people may be interested in reading up on Comapign Zero's[1] 8Can'tWait initiative (https://8cantwait.org/), which has identified, tracked [2], and advocated for 8 policy implementations across municipalities in the U.S. which meaningfully reduce instances of police violence.

The policies include a Use of Force Continuum, Comprehensive Reporting requirements, De-escalation Requirements (which, here, in the context of mental health response is particularly valuable), and more. There are links at the bottom of their website which can help you dig more into their methods, if you're interested.

I actually have a somewhat controversial opinion (that shouldn’t be controversial because it’s all math, but it still is regardless) that, after you save 5-6x your emergency fund, you don’t need an emergency fund at all and you’re better off investing it all in a total market index fund. The reason being that even if there is a market crash, you’ll still be able to afford the emergency since you’ve saved multiples of it already, and in general in the long run having stocks instead of cash or T-bonds in an EF will be better. Various blogs have done the math and it all checks out, but people still push back at me for this. Having an EF if your net worth is a few multiples of your emergency fund, is entirely psychological. Which is fine. But people should just be aware that it’s a bias they have.

Perhaps investing on margin is the same. I have personally taken the leap and got rid of my emergency fund. But I haven’t looked at investing long-term on margin yet. I did see a test from HEDGEFUNDFIE on bogleheads forums about this. But I haven’t looked into it. I definitely think taking out a margin loan while simultaneously having an EF in cash makes no sense though.
Can you please share more details. I would like to replicate.
Because they have control of the money. How do we cut them out?
I have a theory about why turf wars like this happens: the more successful and wealthy an entity, the greater opportunity there is for a manager to take wealth instead of make it. When you’re scrappy and broke, the only path to success is to make the company successful. When the company is rich and multitudinous, an individual can gain more from politics and turf wars rather than actually trying to push an already high enterprise value higher. The “maker:taker” opportunity ratio changes, and so does the type of personality the organization attracts.
exactly, there are a lot of different ways to contribute positively to society and it shouldn't be that only some ways are valued and rewarded.
I'm sympathetic to that viewpoint, but also there is the example of the Great Northern Railway, so it's not impossible to get working public transport without significant public investment.
The article is kind of fluffy. Not everyone should save and invest the same way. Someone who's closer to retirement shouldn't necessarily be investing like an "optimist" (i.e. more risky long-term portfolio), and they'll probably want more liquid assets than someone who's in their 20s with very limited obligations.

Having an emergency fund can benefit everyone but beyond that your portfolio should ideally be driven by your goals and their timeline. If you have no goals and you're just trying to make as much money as possible in the stock market like a lot of new retail investors, this definitely should be given some thought.

I think most could be better served by learning and applying goal-based investing and modern portfolio theory to achieve what this article is clumsily trying to suggest.

Between 2003 and 2007, there were an average of 13 deaths of emergency medical workers in the line of duty. 57% were ground vehicular accidents and 31% were aircraft accidents.

Do you mean impossible burger?

I wonder if your tastes have just changed. I’m not veggie, and I love the impossible and beyond burgers. Easily the best fake-meat I’ve had, and for the cause I think that’s really important. I.e, better for the cause to match taste of carnivores than those who have been veggie for a decade.

Curious what existing meat alternatives you think are good. I’ve always been really disappointed with anything besides like picking tofu in Thai food or paneer in Indian food.
I heard simulator training on this landing was mandatory for beeing allowed to land there. Also I know smbdy who lived in downtown HK during that period. I asked how was it with the planes, respond was: it looks like you can touch them with your hands when they fly above you. I asked about the noise. Noise wasnt the problem (since it was gone fast) but the streets smelled bad of kerosine/exhaust for some time which was the real nuisance.

They don't care about the perverse incentives. In general people don't care about "society", they care about their own situation. If they can stunt on you and get some social points out of it they will do so.
Super super interesting and I'd love discuss - drop me a note (contact info in my bio) :)
do you have a picture or writeup of a crab adder?
There is still plenty of scope for tears. I had a Shimano internal hub gearing system on a bike. It had a bolt and nut with a thread that was unusually tight. More threads per mm.

It was very easy to strip and I did it numerous times. Every second time I ordered new ones the wrong ones came and I’d strip them too.

Internal hub gearing is amazing, but comes with intense pain.
This owned vs leased analogy is not a valid one.

The user is the ultimate decision maker - the user gets to decide whether they want MacOS or not.

The only people talking about constraining this freedom are the ones asking for the government to regulate software distribution.

What you are asking for is for Apple to make a design change to their software to support your use case.

That is a very reasonable thing to want, and to reject Apple for not providing, but it has nothing to do with some ideology of what it means to ‘own’ something.

My car has software problems I don’t like - the digital speedometer only reads kph, whereas I live in a place where mph is standard. There is no facility for changing the software.

Obviously I still own the car.
This is a neat little tool. Commenting to boost the algo because it doesn't deserve to get bumped off the front page and I want to see HN poke holes in it or offer support!
>"...and it works well 99.9%..."

Can I please have a reference confirming this number

>"...It's not like Apple is doing this to track users."

And you of course have reliable inside source who can confirm this.
Because their profitability is of the SOC alone, Apple, the entire product, so they are forced into certain design compromises.
For the average user, with poor password hygiene, I'd advise them to use a federated identity option that is more likely to have a decent password - they are more likely to have a good password for an account they care about.

I think the conclusion of the article is flawed. I think the risk of getting locked out is far lower than the odds of any single, or even all of, other (non-major tech co) website you might join getting breached. It's fair to argue the impact might be less also - and I'm happy to have this debate.

In my experience, typical users aren't the ones that get their google accounts banned - they are always banned for doing something significantly more sophisticated.
Agreed. I was typing late at night and over-simplified.

The important point in the big picture is that capitalists and business interests got white labor to split between the parties, and so now neither party represents labor adequately. I'd argue that laborers no more belong in the Republican Party than non-white conservatives belong in the Democratic Party.

This seems like it would introduce bugs, where the model changes before that message is handled, and your old model you put in your message overwrites those changes.
I recently got locked out of my Amazon account. While trying to get it unlocked, I faced one of the worst experiences with Amazon customer team. I even reached to Jeff's email, but no reply. Finally, I have to file an official complaint in the consumer court to get my account unlock. All of these event took around 14-15 days. During these days, I was suddenly unable to use my Echo, Prime video, Kindle books, readwise, and prime now services. I never really tried any other competitor service before, and was solely reliant on Amazon's offering. That time I realized the amount of power such single sign-in yielded. I can only imagine what happens when you use it for every service via a third party and use it daily, only to suddenly see it lock you out. I hope there's a better way to login in the future, maybe something like trusona or magic

PS: I did not do anything wrong but still suffered lot of psychological pain due to this mistake by Amazon's internal security.
