> why assume that “interest in the problem” is intrinsically good?

I agree. I also think there's another aspect that the article leaves out: what is the definition of "solving the problem"?

For example, another recent pg article that was on the HN front page was the one about the founders of AirBnB. Although pg didn't use them as a specific example of "earnestness", I suspect he would describe them that way. But AirBnB, at scale, has created a lot of negative externalities (and much of the HN discussion of the article was focused on that). It doesn't seem to me like dealing with those negative externalities was part of the problem the AirBnB founders were earnest about solving.

And that, to me, is what we computer nerds call a security hole. If it's better to have earnest people trying to solve hard problems, then startup founders are not the only people that need to be selected for earnestness; the people that are going to run the company at scale and deal with the negative externalities it creates at scale also need to be. But those people are not being selected for earnestness at all; in fact earnestness in those positions, I would argue, is selected strongly against.
Not really, not at that level.

Take BTRFS: it was a technology preview in an earlier release of RHEL but it was later retracted.

AFAIK they don't have enough internal people working on BTRFS, most of their filesystem people are XFS people.

And since shipping btrfs would have meant supporting it for the next ~5-10 years (along with bugfix backports)... they decided to pull the plug.
I always thought someday I would become a hardcore Linux hacker and know all the commands and flags but the reality is I have to relearn every time. Who spends that much time just in the command line these days? I’m sure some people do but I don’t know what they do unless its CTFs or security related.
This is great.

As a hobby, I have a text file that I fill with interesting (to me) historical records, sorted by date. The reason I do this is because I enjoy seeing how certain things already known about and perhaps taken for granted, relate to other historical interests that happened simultaneously.

As well, it can show interesting timelines, like the discovery of something followed by its eventual implementation, and the side effects thereof.
To be honest I have read it online as well. I don't know if it's true. I reckon if the battery is designed to take fast charging all the time, it should be okay. Another thing that affects batteries is weather. In colder climates like Europe you're probably okay. We have had reports of batteries losing half their capacity due to heat in Australia. Those were all Nissan Leafs, which didn't have any active cooling in place. We don't have an extensive supercharger network either. You'll probably be okay in East coast region. Forget about charging your car, in some remote areas you're probably not gonna get petrol either. You can only get diesel. Seems like EU is far ahead in EV adoption than AU.
AFAIU time-compressed is more accurate than skipped. Obviously, observation of long term effects has been skipped. Other mRNA vaccines have been tested though (but not introduced) so the class of vaccines does have long-term data available and there are no known risks worse than other vaccines.

Seems safe enough. Hopefully not famous last words...
Metallic mint green to be pedantic
It doesn't.
The vaccine is a piece of mRNA (in this case part of the spike protein) which has a cap on one end to stop degradation from the start of the message (which would garble it completely). This piece of RNA is not replicated.

Whereas the virus encodes the whole spike, the capsid protein and whatever else the virus needs to replicate like promoter sequences and an origin of replication. It is much larger and is replicate.

Basically it skips all the viral machinery and just codes for a small piece that identifies the virus to the immune system.
Integrating rg and fzf into vim changed my programming life. I find that combo pretty incredible and something I haven't found in IntelliJ. I usually find myself switching back to my shell and then back to IntelliJ.
> there are also forthcoming announcements about new free RHEL subs for individuals and edu institutions and the like.

This is the surprising part. It seems like customer service 101 to have those announcements ready when this announcement was made. By not having those details ready in a timely fashion, they inherently devalue those programs.
Oracle Linux is interesting... But I'm not sure whether I can trust Oracle.
mRNA is not a viral vector. the mRNA vaccine does not contain the entire viral code, and is not carried by the SARS virion
but by a constructed liposome used as an mRNA delivery vector
Nobody sane would waste money on a lawsuit in a state that doesn't matter.

It's just plain racist to suggest that black citizens don't have ID. It is required for guns, which are actually a constitutional right unlike voting for president. It is required to buy beer, rent an apartment, use most government benefits, or get a job. It's even required to enter many campaign events for democrats! So, that doesn't sound like good faith at all.

Funding the ID is fine. Some bullshit election ID card is no good. It needs to meet the normal standard, as specified by the Real ID Act of 2005. The US passport would be acceptable; let's make those free. The military ID would be acceptable.

Say, want to bias it against republicans who never travel to foreign countries? Make a US passport the only valid identification. I'm fine with that.
The over spend was caused by an application bug, not because the user was a "noob".
The mRNA gets translated into the spike protein. And then the cell presents it in the surface for the immune cells to track and learn it. This is called MHC-I pathway. As a consequence of this, the immune system might instruct "infected" cells to self-destruction.

There are also other delivery pathways for mRNA vaccines.

The virus is not functional because the mRNA vaccine only contains one little component of the virus, the spike protein.

The point is not that the probability needs to hit zero, it's that it's not correct to say that you receive a quarter of the power as you move twice as far from the source. It's still true that the expected number of photons per second drops by a factor of 4, but it can drop so far as to render the source dark for an appreciable amount of time.

The paradox claims that the sky should appear bright, which I take to mean that a detector should be receiving light from each point in the sky at each moment in time. It does not say that the detector will receive light from each part of the sky at some point, but that you may need to wait a million years before a particular point flickers and that, even then, there's nothing that guarantees that all points will flicker at the same time.
This is a different definition of "earnest" from the one pg is using in the article, although there probably is a relationship between them: children at the age you describe are interested in things for the sake of the things themselves and not for what the child can get out of them, and "expressing yourself" is one of those things they're interested in for the sake of the thing itself. It's much easier for young children to be like this because all of the stuff that older people think about that basically boils down to "how is this going to affect what other people think of me?" isn't even visible to the children, so it doesn't clutter up their mental processes.
With that kind of skill you should just be working website and buying PlayStations, shoes and other high demand goods in bulk. You can make moths than 7k per week
If Wikipedia has a problem, the problem was pre-existing. There are innumerable examples of misleading textbooks and journals in history and today. At least Wikipedia has meta commentary for each article about its biases that you can investigate to read further between the lines.
As a person who also did this, I feel like it has encouraged my suspicion of communication privacy.

All it takes is listening to your married neighbor talking to their boyfriend/girlfriend to realize that someone could be doing it to you. The difference now is that it doesn't have to be within a 150 foot radius.
I need a smart search engine for my browsing history, and end bookmarking.
you also want to tell xargs not to run the command on an empty set, otherwise you'll just do 'git checkout --' which will just kill all your local changes, probably.
Wonder what's cheaper... picking up all the damage from this, or paying your workers what you owe them?
MRNA vaccines don’t use a viral vector. Your thinking of several other vaccines that haven’t been approved yet.

And much of the safety testing hasn’t been skipped. The vaccine went through full phase 2/3 trials. The post trial surveillance phase was shortened, but it’s still ongoing.

I've only been doing internal postings for the last several years. Although I have looked at external postings.

The main issue with both of them is that everyone wants "senior" developers (the definition seems to vary). Nobody seems to be willing to provide any training. Sure, I have AWS certs, but they don't mean much when each company has their own policies and architectures.

I consider myself intermediate because the tech stacks I have used vary greatly and have switched every few years. I was a senior dev and even a tech lead in FileNet work (unofficially), but there's not much work for that.
while it is possible to harvest SARS genomic RNA and excise dangerous components this is expensive time and money wise and dangerous, this reduces to the better approach being a synthetic novel S protien manufactured from raw materials.
I watch that video and I see an internet and logistics nerd who proudly explains he found the best way to build a company around it.

Although it's clear that profitability is important to him, the video also shows he's deeply passionate about building this "virtual store". This gives him the incredible drive the article was talking about.
Don't you understand. He made a picture and swapped places between RHEL and CentOS. Clearly this proves that CentOS Stream is replacing RHEL.
The Cutter app is broken. It crashes on a Mac that doesn't have `/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib` installed. They probably never tested on a clean machine, `/usr/local/opt` doesn't exist there.
I (a generalist with experience all over the tech map, doing mostly devops/integration work) have seen only a single valid offer coming from a recruiter (and it was highly targeted). Not a big challenge for me specifically since I found jobs myself talking directly to companies and via personal network, but recruiters with no idea who are they talking to / looking for is somewhere there on the challenges list for the system as a whole. The job boards are better but not great either. I killed my linkedin account after getting a thousand of "you mentioned keyword Java, would you like a corp Java junior developer position in a different country?".

Also, we could really use some better definitions for "remote position" https://blog.viraptor.info/post/on-finding-remote-work ("remote for US citizens with a weekly meeting in SF", is not useful for 99.9% cases, but still comes up when looking for remote positions)
Perhaps he committed suicide and that was effectively his note?
There are many bluetooth call recorders out there. They are better than nothing.
"Why does it rain so often in cyberpunk stories?" Yeah, why?

More generally: why has "tech" (hating that label more and more, but here goes) become so enamored with such a narrow aesthetic, and along the way forgotten it's supposed to be dystopian and not to be used as a blueprint for reality?

It seems many things can be done with a one-liner or short shell script, but I'm not fluent enough to recognize those patterns yet.

I have lived through this same thing with Salesforce.

A brutal experience.
I was very excited by this--to send it to the people I work with to explain to them a lot of my mental model--but was sad that the examples all seemed to be steeped in the world of an already well-established product with a large team. When thinking of "risk-first" the prototypes that come to my mind--due to how I am usually working on the small team that is trailblazing new territory, as well as simply thinking about what comes "first"--is how to ensure that the initial work being done is most directly derisking the entire concept of later execution plans, as we might have no clue of what we are trying to do is even possible: and so like, I spend my time arguing with people about how "sure we could build that UI out but we don't even know if we understand whether that easy UI you want is feasible yet, so let's try to build what we considered to be our killer feature first and then build the UI around it once we know what settings it simply has to have... in the mean time we can use a low-level command line tool" or "in three months I am going to come to you needing to be able to buy something, but I have no clue what that will be yet: I realize you are used to being given concrete goals, but I need you to start setting up payment channels and finding partners who are on board to be flexible with the changes that will be coming in two months without then getting ahead of yourself and starting to commit to things we aren't ready for". The examples I was seeing here were thereby "great" in the sense that they were "correct", but I could see showing this to someone and them getting the misimpression that the risks described and assumed--relating to integration with existing code and misunderstandings surrounding existing features leading to duplication and waste of work on a large team--will cause everyone I want to show this to to think those are key risks even for an early project... where in fact the biggest risk might be "we spend $5 million building a fancy product without ever once realizing it doesn't work so hard it couldn't even be done, because we front-loaded low-hanging fruit instead of having the engineers mitigate long-term risk from day one". If would be really interesting to have another version of this written from the perspective of a different place in a product lifecycle, starting at the very first things one does on a new project (which might include analyzing doing the risks of business deals at all ;P).
I mean if you're demanding you're kind of committing a crime. It's actually pretty nice of FB to reward this stuff, and along with the clout come career opportunities worth much more than $7.5k.
Nice taste and website. A similar website is https://jambuds.club/ (another HN user posted this one time). I think this kind of social network has social and commercial potential.
nothing was skipped maybe aside from testing on animals first. it was however on a compressed observational and manufacturing timeline. normally a company doesn't want to run the next trial while the previous trial is ongoing. they compressed stages one and two(safety studies where they do tens of people and then hundreds of people to strictly look for adverse outcomes). Then they did a efficacy trial in stage three of thousands (which also looks out for large adverse outcomes). the regulatory review stage was also shortened because the drug manufacturers were supplying more real time data to the regulators to expedite the approval. the normal way they do it is to run every stage back to back and then after stage 3 is finished they would submit the data to the fda and get an approval back within a year or two. Then the manufacturing would start to ramp up... this was a moonshot type of project that hoped the trial would be successful and started to manufacture the drug before full approval occurred.

you can see timelines here: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-55056016

tldr: nothing skipped; however it was compressed.
Respectfully, I feel like you all are making up a taxonomy that feels right to you, but that is definitely not accepted by the vuln research field.

Further: this idea that "research" is something we have to valorize, and that you have to meet a public interest threshold to be worthy of it, is itself a standard to which the real world does not adhere. There are lots of different kinds of "research" out there; there are researchers who look for cures for cancer, and there are "researchers" who maintain stacks of index cards full of competitive market intelligence gleaned from press releases. The term "researcher" is about the kind of work you do, not the use to which it's put.

Maybe I'm just old and not keeping up with what the kids these days are saying, but I don't think "bug prospector" is a thing.

Some baby monitors are using "encryption". I don't know if they are actually using encryption or just privacy codes. Even if they are using encryption, I doubt it's very secure stuff (probably 8 bit or something).
A bull in a pen may feel that he is dominant over the humans. It's true in a limited sense, when faced with one or two humans face to face, but mostly the bull is dominated by the human-created structure.
Causation goes the other way. Nobody thought felons should vote until democrats realized that it would tip elections.

Oh, my mistake on the law and order. I should go Burn Loot Murder, rioting every night. Seriously? Portland is not a republican stronghold. The most crime-ridden places vote democrat.

I'll grant that Kamala Harris loved to prosecute crack users with a law that Joe Biden introduced, and that Donald Trump reduced the penalty. I'm not sure you want to take credit for the law that locked up lots of black people, but you may.
But now you require gnu awk, it no longer works under posix (so for example busybox). Which sucks a bit.
That statement is so true it's terrifying.
So there’s an external source for this objective information, or are the judges making their own individual interpretations of “how the law applies”? If the former, why do we end up with split votes that so often fall down partisan lines? Seems like if there were a correct interpretation of a law as distinct from an opinion of a law, they would all have access to it and we could cut the justices down from 9 to 1. And we could call that judge The Conveyor of Truth.

Also, why are Supreme Court opinions literally called opinions, if they are apparently objective?

I'll add a point, because otherwise your answer was excellent:

This mechanism was once explored as a means of performing gene therapy in human beings (a couple of decades past). It was abandoned because of its utter failure to produce lasting genetic effects.

That's a big plus here: we have a well-explored platform for having the cells transiently produce a protein we want the immune system exposed to, but which we already know is useless at producing lasting effects. The only lasting effect here will be in the memory of the immune system, not in the cells affected by the shot.
Apropos of the soundscape cyberpunk, this Burial album is very cyberpunk inspired. It won album of the year in a bunch of publications, and is super approachable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB26OKyH3eI&list=PLjIuADMrDK...

Well, the author is blaming it on the updater kinda, but it could have been chrome itself or the updater might be trying to create a window for whatever purpose in a tight loop or do something else that somehow ends up eventually calling into the WindowServer. There are plenty of things that can go wrong.

I had my own run in with chrome recently where dwm.exe (Desktop Windows Manager on win10) would eat and eat memory until everything OOM'ed. Didn't use much CPU tho. I eventually tracked it down to a single chrome tab that had a specific website open. It's reproducible at least on my system but I haven't yet had the time to look into it more thoroughly. If I had to guess, it was the website making Chrome use some "hardware layers/surfaces" or something like that and cause the corresponding buffers in dwm to be retained forever. No idea if it's a chrome bug or a dwm bug or even some kind of driver bug, and just closing the tab was enough as a "quick fix".
