Pizza has really good margins
I think this is actually easy to explain.

To lose weight you need to be in energy deficit.

When one is in deficit, the body starts to use stored fat.

Body prefers certain types of stores to others.

One of the first and most dangerous stores is fat in the liver, which is common for high fructose eating humans.

This fat is the primary reason for being in metabolic disease aka pre diabetes state.

So once body burns off fat from liver, your pre diabetes vanishes.
The device that can be damaged is a DJ controller with haptic feedback. So it has motors in it, and some kind of audio outputs. If the audio levels get turned to maximum or the motors get sent invalid commands, it could cause the device to damage itself. I’d call it a firmware problem if the motors can be commanded to move too fast, but anyway it may be reason for them to warn their customers. The editorialized hacker news headline makes it look like Big Sur is to blame, but it could easily be written as “Native Instruments Hardware does not fully support Big Sur and could be damaged if run on Big Sur.”

I'm an ancient IT guy (35+ years). I used Linux on desktop/laptop/server from 1995 onwards. I got a Mac Pro laptop 5 years ago (before the keyboard debacle) because I wanted quality hardware.

I'm running Big Sur and have been since the public beta. I also run iTerm2 and Macports and Firefox and Thunderbird. My editor is Neovim.

MacOS is still a BSD Unix underneath. I can't think of anything I want to run on Linux that I can't run on MacOS.

I also get a nice UI, native first class apps for all my various WFH chat/video clients, MS Office for work etc.

Why exactly would I want to dual boot into Linux? What runs on Linux that doesn't on MacOS?
No idea but it apparently has motors. Firmware should protect against damage this way but perhaps they didn’t account for the way Big Sur would end up communicating with it.

> I’m not so sure whether manufacturers should be allowed direct OTA updates without recalls or heavy regulatory oversights.

I think there probably should be some oversight, but not all ECU updates are serious enough to warrant an official recall. Sometimes they're just cosmetic changes or improvements to the head unit's user interface. Sometimes they're bug fixes for convenience features that are not a risk to the operation of the vehicle. Sometimes they're compliance related (ex. Volvo updated my headunit so that the 360 surround camera view couldn't be the default view when shifting into reverse (a US law requires that the backup camera is seen when shifting into reverse).
>> A recent survey of more than 1,000 Brits found that that the average person says ‘sorry’ around eight times per day – and that one in eight people apologise up to 20 times a day.

I've been running Big Sur since it went into public beta. There were a few issues, VPNs were disabled for a bit, they didn't load the SMB drivers, a few of my apps had to release updates (Karabiner, Bartender), but otherwise everything works.
It's sad to see such write ups since it's these that give people who don't mean the apology look like they do since they follow this template/algorithm.

Let it be original when you apologize, let it come from you with all your perfections and imperfections. Let the world come to term with the real you and your explanation on _your actions_.
I believe it's measles that is nearly fatal in the unborn and infants, causing organ damage and blindness.

There's a story of a US Marine escaping from measles quarantine in the US to visit Gene Tierney, a Hollywood starlet, in town who was pregnant, and the infant being born with severe life-long complications.

That is the argument for people to get vaccinated - to protect via herd-immunity those that cannot get vaccinated.

It's definitely a buggy device/firmware. There is no way an OS update can cause this (barring some massive Apple bug which is unlikely); more likely the device firmware mishandles some valid standard USB commands that older OSes didn't issue.

In general, it's quite common for USB device firmware to be of extremely poor quality; it'll be tested and bugs fixed until it works with the target OSes and drivers, but no comprehensive testing of whether it can deal with all possible standard request patterns is done.
For running/jogging, a good trick for when you really don't feel like it is to put running clothes on, go outside, and then just start walking. If you still don't feel like running, you can just go for a walk instead, but many people will actually want to run after a bit--the bottleneck is getting out the door.

It's the same for other kinds of exercise. If you're dreading lifting weights, start by just doing some sets of really light reps. If you still feel bad, you can just stop after that, but you'll probably often find at that point that you actually feel like doing more.

Weirdly, I seem to often have my best runs/workouts with this approach, when I started out feeling like crap. Motivation is a strange thing.
Susceptible - yes, all platforms could fall to this.

That's why a strong leadership in a community, or subcommunities, works well. Python lacked this leadership, that leads to millions of half-arsed projects that compete... without moving the whole platform forward. It feels like NIH syndrome has permeated Python. Hopefully that's going to change

The trillion dollar bailouts are central planning. The fact that consumer goods are manufactured in countries by people who can't afford to buy them and sold to people in other countries who throw them away is a symptom of the vast disparity in cost of doing business in the respective countries. Subsidies are always and everywhere the product of a central planner.

In order to criticize a distributed system properly it is necessary to identify those things that are the product of the distributed system, rather than those things that are the product of centralized planning.
I'm reminded of the awesome youtube channel Pixelmusement with the "Shovelware Diggers" series that's been going on for a few years. Basically they're exploring the contents of a 2 disk CD Shareware set and more or less trying to run/play/review the 2000 programs on the disks.

It's a fantastic snapshot in time of the pre-internet CD-ROM era.

This is a video and annotated summary of a talk I gave for the GitHub OCTO Speaker Series yesterday, describing how I've been building my own personal data warehouse on top of my Datasette and Dogsheep open source projects.

I feel like every nerd eventually tries to build something like this. My main contribution here is the observation that importing data from personal sources into SQLite massively reduces the amount of work needed to run further analysis, especially with a web interface that lets you run and bookmark queries.
That did happen, SARS in 2003.

Ask HN: What is the most Pythonic spoken language?
People here commonly say Python is one of the easiest languages to pick up quickly, and be able to efficiently take an idea in your head to a suitable prototype program.

My question to you: Is there a Python equivalent spoken language? For some time now I have been thinking about the idea that every philosophical problem is inherently a linguistics problem, as two people must use words to define the ideas in their heads, and words are the medium in which ideas propagate. So, is there a spoken language where two people who understand it can efficiently and accurately translate the ideas in their head to each other? Or is spoken language just too complicated for us to understand in fully?
I just feel sad for you that you felt they were too complex for you to enjoy them as logos. I don't think all. Many of them are very simple and look great as logos, but some are very complex looking, like 1025... But you never know. Maybe someone will use them as their logo in future.

As always predictability is essential: Measured and consistent regulations can be accounted for, capricious 'regulations' cannot be.
And it’s okay to do this outside of personal projects? Eg. Client defined project.

PS. I do appreciate the spirit of the comment.
As I understand it the Kontrol S4 has moving parts (essentially motors) under USB control.

Obviously you could design this sensibly so that no legal inputs result in malfunction let alone damage, but that might cost more, so, do it all in software right? And then you're at the mercy of the software and anything (such as the OS kernel) which that software depends on.

We do teach Computer Science / Software Engineering students not to do this, showing them e.g. the Therac-25 incident as an example of why software control isn't enough - but well, check out how many HN regulars are proud that they either didn't pay any attention in class or never attended and are "self-taught".

SANE (the Free Software document scanner software) has run into cases where it's just cheaper to have code that checks "Is this the end of the bed? If so, turn off the motor" than spend five cents on a limit switch or one cent adding a stop so that the scan head physically can't fall off. Somebody reverse engineering a driver sends "Move scan head" and, to their astonishment, it falls off its rail and their scanner is broken. Oops. Now, who feels comfortable shipping that to users knowing if your finished driver didn't catch every edge case you might destroy their scanner?

To be fair to the person you're replying to they say:

So it sounds like they agree with you.

Wow. Read the article. Plenty of trans people supported the book.
> The problem is ... when you don't [know you are being manipulated]

Exactly. Thus my assertion that I'm free to the extent I am aware of how my environment and society affects me. Though that's not a complete definition, as we've discussed the issue of not just soft power, but also hard constraints.

One wrinkle is that some advertisements aren't only manipulation, but information as well. They're freedom-reducing to the extent they undetectably manipulate, but freedom-increasing to the extent the provide information that allows more choices!

Further, the protagonist in our story has new choices that aren't options in our society today. It's not clear that the protagonist has a net-negative freedom experience, compared with today.
I think the title is misleading. Most ppl here would know it is a firmware issue most likely.

Tom Scott explains the situation and the solution best. Just shorten copyright to 20 years (instead of life + 70 years).

Yeah, that is an issue of the device IMO. It should prevent itself from being run in a destructive manner so long as the bus itself is in spec (ie no overvoltage, reverse polarity, etc). Unless it is clearly labelled as not to be connected to any system that hasn't been specifically evaluated and qualified by them, this shouldn't be the customers fault.

Also, I initially misread this as National Instruments and imagined a DJ programming in LabView, LMAO.
However, what isn't covered (and this is especially pertinent for ride sharing) is the time between ending a job and taking the next job.

While I wouldn't expect anything like full-time pay, Uber/Lyft et. al. still get a benefit of having drivers on call (lower wait times for their customers). I personally would have liked to see some compensation (within reason) for time spent on call but not on a ride. Not sure how easy it would be to make both a fair and reasonably un-cheatable system, but its something that should have been considered.
I edited my comment to contain a response to why this is actually distributed across everyone, almost to the same extent as in a planned economy.

There's a whole other conversation about the differences in representation between the two countries, and I think China's system has some points in it's favor as far as "does this government act on behalf of it's people", but I was just trying to phrase things in a way that would get through to the typical HN reader.
Oh, your first hunch was correct. I sort-of know that it means the phenomenon where Harvey Weinstein rapes a dozen women and everybody on the internet pretends that's the reason they don't want to have women on their team. Because apparently "showing up at their colleagues' hotel room doors, naked and at night" is somehow just bound to happen in the course of standard operating procedures.

Also the related phenomenon where people walk through cities being casually and formally anti-semitic, deliberately crashing cars into groups of people, but call the other side "mob", because they complain about that on Twitter.

Reprising a previous comment: this book is good, but fair warning that it's not, like, a fun read; it's like one of those books from the 1990s that explains every dialog box in Microsoft Word. It's an excellent reference, but if you're just getting started reversing, Eidad Eilam's _Reversing_ is still a good choice.

Part of the reason I keep saying this is, if you've done reversing work with IDA or Hopper, you can fumble your way to productivity with Ghidra without a book. So: if Ghidra is completely greek to you, start maybe with fundamentals.

In a group setting, it's often not that simple. They may have just successfully aligned everyone against you such that bullying you is now not only acceptable behavior but expected behavior.

When someone of that ilk works as a moderator in an online community (or is otherwise influential in a group), it tends to wind up being a really awful cesspit while many of the members will feel they have "bragging rights" for belonging if they happen to be fortunate enough to be one of the "insiders" expected to do the bullying and not get bullied.
This is for non-mandatory updates - things like navigation and updates to a slightly less crappy UI.

For safety recalls the dealer bills the manufacturer for their time, so as the customer you don't need to pay anything (other than your time to take the car to the dealer).

I have a 3rd hand Toyota, and after I bought it I noticed none of the recalls had been done. I called up my local dealer, they ordered the parts, then two weeks later they replaced airbags, fuel tank lid and updated the ECU without me having to pay anything.
I didn’t recognize myself as ADHD either. I was diagnosed at 37. If I hadn’t taken a (seemingly separate) mental health dive I probably would never have known. It turns out almost all of my anxiety and quite a bit of my depression are easily traced to dopamine deficiency and (sometimes unhealthy) coping strategies. The way I explain the laundry thing to people who don’t experience it is... almost exactly your wording: if I have a “big” task and a “small” task that have time overlap, stopping the “big” one to do even a few minutes of something else is extraordinarily stressful. I can’t interrupt one for the other. On really bad days, both block each other, like a deadlock. Recognizing that it’s happening and creating basically fictional arbitrary rewards helps.

Obviously I’m not in any way qualified to say one way or the other, but if things like this meaningfully impede your life I’d recommend reading about adult ADHD, see if things feel like they have explanations you’ve never known you needed... and if you do, seek diagnosis.

For my experience when I finally had enough confidence that there was really something to it, I had to read a lot of non-diagnostic literature to really understand how to navigate that process. The DSM criteria are almost entirely designed around diagnosing children, and almost entirely around misbehavior. Adults will not relate to most behavior descriptions and will have developed so many coping alternatives that the answers often form as “well, no, but here is how I’ve learned to compensate”.

Edit: I’d be remiss not to credit the actual human on the internet who gave me the most insight into this and ultimately prompted me to seek diagnosis. For anyone looking for someone who speaks extensively and knowledgeably about adult ADHD, I highly recommend following Erynn Brook on twitter.
