High profile security vendors and national security officials have a real history of describing script kiddie jobs using months or years-old public exploits as "sophisticated" or "nation-state level", one instance that turned out to be a real supply chain attack that actually requires serious resources...doesn't really change the overall picture. In the Boy Who Cried Wolf fable, we don't fault the villagers for failing to expect that there would be a wolf this time.
If we're talking people...

A girl I was once crazy about in college... and we even dated for a time. Something about her still makes me ambitious. She's now working for the government and I work for the media, but unfortunately, it just didn't work out. She worked days, I worked nights... it just wasn't really going anywhere. So she was the spark that kept me going for a very long time. I'm sure it's still there, but time kind of forces you to move on a bit.

What keeps me going today, however, is the fact that I've just worked too many jobs of bosses trying to control me, not enough raises, empty promises of promotions, etc. At my latest dream job, they had me train a supervisor and when I got done and he thought he knew everything, he attempted to fire me.. and has tried at least every other month for the past 6 years. Fortunately for me, his boss hired me long before even knowing him, so he can threaten me all he wants. His boss has the final say and because I'm good at my job, I let him think he has that control -- even play the part and act like I'm scared, even though I couldn't care less if he somehow managed to pull it off. But I've been with the company for 8 years now... not sure how far he's going to get. A few months ago, I decided to call him on his bullshit, told him to write up the severance package and that I'd leave if he gave me a year salary including my 6 weeks PTO, or else he could fire me and I'd collect unemployment... surely collecting unemployment during COVID ain't too hard to do. Nothing happened. He hasn't threatened me since.

So... I'm always working on "fuck you money" (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fuck%20you%2...) and independent money which, for me, is to replace my entire salary so I can quit the job without ever worrying again. I've been working at it.. I've built up a business and all that, but I've not matched the salary quite yet, and working there for so long comes with its many benefits.

Anyways, if we're talking about what inspires my creativity for the web applications I build... I often see something that has an insane price, and I know I can make it better, so I do and sometimes undercut the competition. Other times I just want to take a single thing out of the product and I'll keep it simple and monetize that. I also love cdnjs.com and find a lot of new scripts there that inspire me to build something around those, particularly the CSS templates mixed in with the javascript files they offer. There are times where I will be working on one thing and I start to get bored, so I develop something else that actually helps me to understand a certain direction in the application I got bored with -- so that renews my interest in finishing it, during or after I finish the new application I started.

> WebTorrent has DHTs working in the browser, not sure how much more decentralized you're talking about.

Not sure about how things work now, but IIRC WebTorrent web peers could not connect to native BitTorrent peers. Instead they would connect only to WebTorrent Desktop peers and other Web peers. The WebTorrent team of course is doing incredible work, and they've been able to convince some of the native torrent clients to support Web Torrent - so it kinda works in practice.

So for a new protocol, the hard part would be to make all the non-browser peers speak WebRTC - which is nowhere as easy/robust as writing a TCP/UDP based peer [1].

That Tektronix manual is a gem. Also... a very different age. They set aside 22.5% of gross revenue for profit sharing and 7.5% for a retirement fund. They boasted about a technical library made largely of contributions from the employees. Obviously a white male-dominated roster. The explanation of the phone/paging system is baroque and sort of cryptic, taking 13 steps.

When I was young I wanted to start a company like that (not the white male-dominated part, duh). Then I was sued unjustly in two different cases under California law. I will never have an employee again.
I'd say it's one of the safer mayor citiew I've been, given that you stay in the touristy parts. Centro histórico, La Condesa, Roma, Polanco and similar.

Where did BCC go? Does anyone process payments in it?
MITM is getting harder due to TLS improvements. Most traffic is TLS encrypted over a handful of destination ports.

I don't want to oversimplify, because there is of course an uncountable number of software packages and a lot of noise on any network. However, "super simple FPGA network firewall" is not going to save us. Trustworthy logging, least-privilege account credentials and a competent SOC, among a number of other things, are critical.

Many orgs know how to be secure, they just can't or won't be due to some financial or usability constraint.

Not all major car makers will fall into the "legacy/old and busted" category - I think the ones with a long-time reputation for quality/dependability will be able to make a strong splash in the EV market once they've got a comparable product.

For example, if Honda or Toyota makes any of their mainline models with the simplified/basic interior but just with a well-made EV drivetrain compatible with the Tesla charger network, I'm probably buying instantly.

Tax advantage?

If you pay out a dividend, you force your shareholders to pay income tax rates.

But, if you can use company profits in a way that pumps the stock valuation, your shareholders can effectively take the same profits with long term cap gains tax. My understanding is that a stock buyback is basically this strategy, and MicroStrategy's CEO has said that he also considered that.

MSTR is up ~100% since they first bought bitcoin.

This is at least, my amateur understanding that could be wrong.
Yes, I participated in that ddcutil issue.

You might try anyway. Believe I use the thunderbolt connection for my monitor, the second direct hdmi connection is used only for sending ddc commands. In other words, both inputs seem to be listened to with my Dell monitor.

I really don't think so. They speak more loudly to you because you're primed to hear them (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). The opposite side is primed the opposite way and so it makes the opposite generalization.

If you stop to think about what this means, it's pretty staggering. It means that we experience ourselves as being surrounded by enemies or, as I metaphorically sometimes put it, demons: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

This cognitive bias is one of the most powerful forces on the internet, including HN, and if there's one thing I've learned from years of moderation, it's "underestimate it at your peril".

Currently Proof of Work is deemed by the market to be valuable, by definition, so it is merely speculation that the market is over-valuing cryptocurrency that your claim that PoW is not valuable is based on.

Anyway, I would agree that if the PoW had a secondary purpose, like enhancing the efficiency of the blockchain, or providing scientific compututation, it would provide more value to humanity.

For me, I hated to see parts missing or damaged on assembly. Wiring repairs or accessory installs made with scotch-lok connectors or wire nuts.Using crappy eBay parts. Using an entire tube of RTV sealant where only a dab was necessary. Messing with refrigerant including (illegal) venting to atmosphere. The list goes on and on but it boils down to improper techniques and materials. I really can't fault anyone for trying to do it themselves. Most of the people who read HN can afford an auto repair bill so I think its more the "hacker" mindset that influences people here to attempt repairs themselves. Just be honest with the service department if you got in over your head. We won't snicker too much :-)

Your monitor must listen to DDC commands from inactive inputs. I think mine doesn't, because this whole problem came about when I realized that my desktop could ask the monitor to switch to the other input, but couldn't ask it to switch back.

Apparently a lot of computer monitors only listen to DDC commands coming from the selected input, while TVs almost always listen to them from all inputs, because they often need to do things like "switch to Roku input when the Roku asks, even if some other set-top box is driving the display."

If my monitor could do this, I could just run the input switching script entirely on my desktop (based on whether the keyboard has just appeared or just disappeared), and I wouldn't have to send DDC commands via the dock at all.
Most of the problems listed in this article seems to have nothing to do with Zig or NixOS. Why encourage finger pointing when you’re not sure about the exact reasons involved?

There's also a difference in the way organized crime manifests itself. Kidnapping schemes can't really exist for organized crime in the developed countries. The state security forces would stomp them out too quickly.
My problem with webforums is that a lot of users used image hosts that no longer exist, or deleted anything too old unless the user upgraded (unlikely for anyone altruistic enough to write up a guide).

Then while youtube is great, if I hear "and to put it all back together, do everything I just said in reverse", I'm going to lose it.

The thought process behind it is self preservation I think.

Sure some other species probably will manage to evolve to take our place but that is pretty presbyopic or "Far Sighted", isn't that just as misguided?

The article is about a moss species that seems to have flourished after being exposed to sunlight due to logging that occured 60 years ago that is now being starved of sunlight due to the trees growing back. Interesting that this in some ways does support your argument in a round about way.

Considering new diseases are appearing out of the wilderness, I think it would be wise to save this moss in the event it has a future medicinal use.
Then someone needs to be held responsible for this. Somebody is in charge of all of that and should face the consequences of their failure to fulfill their duties.

The original devblog from 2005 is (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20050412-47/?p=35...). Aside: Upon pulling that up, I recognized the author as the one who wrote my favorite article about undefined behavior (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140627-00/?p=63...).
This looks cool, there's a bunch of ideas here that are similar to scribbled notes on my wall!

I really like the idea of 'everything related to one task in one place'. What I'm planning on doing with the app I'm (trying to) write is extend this to make sense of the fact that your task is in a JD category and might therefore be related to other tasks in the same category.

So I'm looking at `11.01 Some item` and it has a bunch of tasks. Over in `11.04 Another item` I have other tasks, and optionally I can choose to show them -- because they're likely to be at least related to the thing I'm doing. Maybe I can do a bunch of related stuff at the same time?

One of the things I love about JD is the way it helps me stay in context. Everything in a category relates in some way to each other, so given that my job is mental and I do a hundred things a day, I can save myself some cognitive load and at least bunch similar things together.
I love Toyota and Honda for long term reliability. I am a Nissan tech so its not a brand loyalty thing here. Toyota pickups and corolla are highly sought after on the secondary markets overseas in Asia and Africa because they will go 500k miles routinely.
There is no strong evidence of any link between phytoestrogen consumption and adverse health effects, as shown by a cursory look at the Wikipedia page for phytoestrogens, and the literature.

I’ve consumed minimum 1 cup soy milk almost my entire life. No man boobs and my sperm works just fine.

What’s funny is people usually warn me that eating soy will somehow harm my masculinity, yet they aren’t aware milk, eggs, and meat also contain phytoestrogens https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jf801344x
Eventually it won't go up anymore either due to market penetration or a better store of value came along. The current long term holders believe that 1. It's far from market penetration (just look at the skeptical comments here) and 2. It has sufficient network effects and momentum to over come competing stores of value.
There's a lot more involved with counterfeiting a modern U.S. Federal Reserve Note than just firing up a "printing press", dude.

Note that government-level entities which happen to be enemies of the United States already have a strong incentive to do this, and they've pretty much universally failed. The press is the easy part. The special watermarked paper, the color-shifting ink, the security threads... all of that requires a functioning industrial infrastructure, dispersed over a large geographic region. And that's exactly what would not be available.

If the U.S. goes down, the whole world goes down with it.
This is good to know, I usually stay away from what I can tell is a "lifehack" style repair on YouTube, and I try to buy real parts. And good to know about the mechanic, I have a good relationship with mine and now I know how to keep it that way!

I tried but it’s basically drivel.

A guy in jail discovers the benefits of regular exercise and writes instructional letters to his son with the enthusiasm of someone discovering that adding salt to your food makes it taste better and shouting it from the rooftops as if it wasn’t something everybody knows already.

Don’t they raise a MFT (metric falcon ton) of money, consistently?

I think the narrative flip really came down to — “oh they may always be on the verge of bankruptcy, but they can always raise from the public because the public loves Elon”

So really they will always have runway to get to those goals, timelines really don’t matter.
Let’s say the ratio of violations per mode is the same. In the city I live in, bicyclists make up <1% of road users. So the drivers operating their vehicles dangerously out number bicyclists doing so 100:1. And vehicles are what are killing and severely injuring people, not bicyclists.

One of my favorites is Bellman's Lost in the Forest Problem. It is a 2D geometric problem that is easy to state, understand, visualize and draw. The escape path is unconstrained, so there must often be a series of rules and decisions to be made. Some doodling quickly reveals its subtlety.

It is also nicely phrased as a class of problems, because the forest's size and shape are known to the victim, but there are no constraints on what the shape might be. Some of the classes are solved, so you can chase down the spoiler solutions, but others are still open.
