What percentage of Google's users do you think have a pi hole? I buy that their changes to ad blockers in Chromium are motivated by this kind of logic, since they are used by a material number of people. But for DoH it just doesn't add up, it's such a fringe case. It's also worth noting that DoH was spearheaded by Mozilla, Google just got on the ship at the next port.

Not every thing that big corporations say they do for security reasons or whatever is a cynical ploy. Do you think they're experimenting with post quantum cryptography in Chrome Canary in preparation to drop a 50k qubit quantum computer on the market sometime soon?
It was pretty popular when Ruby and JS came on the scene. I think it’s receded now but there are still tools like Homebrew that are worse than what came before, but people switched to them because they were written in Ruby instead of Perl, and somehow that made it cool.

Russians do a lot of hacking. It doesnt mean its the government or any official body, though. The non-stop, partially unfounded russia bashing and excessive repeated sanctioning is pissing off a LOT of highly skilled russian programmers.

I dont think the russian goverment is behind most attacks.

I see this clearly with all platforms now asking for some monetization (more than before):

Where I live:

- Spotify is 10€/month

- Netflix is 10€/month

- Amazon is 30-40€ year (just Prime; primevideo+ or whatever is called, is even 5€/month more)

- Disney+ 10€/month

- Youtube Premium x€/month

- PSN plus / Xbox gamepass / Nintendo online x€/month

- Twitch subscriptions 5€/month

- Youtube subscriptions x€/month

- Patreons x€/month

- Podcasts x€/month

How much am I willing to spend on entertainment per month?

At the end I have to choose, so PSN may be competing with Spotify or some Patreon with Disney+....

Interesting to see this is happening and this was already happening before...
That's the reason you haven't heard about it, it's irrelevant considering there are over a dozen better extensions for this that do more than block GA.
First you say:

> The economic churn. More churn, > more prosperity because we are > creating movement of spending
> money that came from capital to > keep alive a thriving economy.

And then you claim that taxing the rich will not work.

Why would that also be churn? If they have to divest, sell things or buys things that is churn.

You welfare state argument, falls flat when you consider the high taxes for people located in Nordic countries.
Because popular hobby on HN is trying to find mistakes in studies by guessing from title without reading article.

The first line mentions:

> Validates email looks like an email i.e. contains an "@" and a "." to the right of it.

But what about emails coming from a hostname without a dot, or a TLD without a subdomain?

Even the HTML email field supports emails without a dot after the @ because it's technically valid.
What other good stories have you heard from them?
My point was that freedom of association doesn’t work if you’re the only game in town. In an ideal situation, Visa and MC would decide that their reputation was at risk, cut off PornHub, and then PornHub would switch to a competing payment network. But because of the high bar to entry (regulations which Visa and MC lobbied for after they gained their dominant position), it is almost impossible to start a new credit card company today. All the startups like Stripe and Privacy sit on a different layer from Visa and MC. Cards from your bank are just Visa and MC with different artwork. Nobody has created a new credit card company in decades.

We can let Visa and MC have their freedom of association or we can let them have their protected position in the market, but we can’t have both. It’s not working. But because this case is all “somebody think of the children” then people are letting them get away with it.

What about the other instances that the EFF linked to where a porn site wasn’t doing anything illegal? Are you going to have any options when it’s your (healthy and legal, but maybe niche) kink under attack? What about when it’s not even porn, but Visa and MC decide that Discord is used to enable piracy, and cuts off payments? Are you going to support these actions when a popular chat app with many legitimate users is the one affected?

As suggested in another comment, the best way would probably to shoot in RAW (so you get the data directly from your camera's sensor) and then use postprocessing tools made for negatives. Darktable has a new module called "negadoctor" for this, see https://www.darktable.org/2020/08/darktable-3-2/ (ctrl+f negadoctor).

Darktable also supports Lua scripting, maybe that could be used to automate a workflow.

> Is there any reason Medicare would play a role in the surgeon's performance?

Lots of reasons:

"Generally, Medicare is available for people age 65 or older, younger people with disabilities and people with End Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant)."

And often poorer than private insurance, so less preventive and post-operative care and rehabilitation.

eg. I watched a documentary on urban diabetes patients and foot amputations. Amputation is literally an epidemic in poor Americans because they can't afford homecare, so have to keep walking on a gangrenous foot until it turns black.
Just wanted to vouch that I was one such emailer last year... and I did indeed get a reply. Thanks again and may God bless you!
>Those are real threats. And this is not what this group is researching.

Also as a security researcher, this type of research is a real threat. Lots of DoD practice works on knowing exactly how outside and inside threats can exfiltrate data. If a secret facility had locked down networks, and ensured no insider could carry out CDs, but completely ignored threats like this, then insiders (and any outsider that gets something onto such a network) can exfiltrate data without detection.

There's a reason DoD pays lots of groups to do work like this. He even mentions that common DoD practice of leaving phones outside secure facilities is not enough to prevent data from escaping (although some places I've been, but not all, have been smarter in putting phones in Faraday cages to lessen the issue).

As they say, attacks don't get weaker, they only get stronger. Apply some proper modulation and signal processing, even with a custom receiver and antenna, and you can likely extract data at vastly faster rates, and, for some processes, perhaps even without on device malware.
I just pray that modules will one day let developers speed up compile times.

Toolchain complexity, size and slowness are the only things that make me use python.
When trying to sign up, I miss typed my password and they did not match and got the "Passwords do not match" error. I typed them again, making sure they matched, and got the same message. And again.

Opening Chrome, I tired to sign up, only to find my username was taken. I did not necessarily believe this; so, I tried the forgotten password link and entered my email address.

33Mail sent me the link to reset my password, which I did, and logged into the system.

I had a notification that I had not confirmed my email address -- I had never gotten the message -- so, I had it resent. The confirmation message arrived and I confirmed it.

Anyway, although I did not get past the "Passwords do not match" error, it did sign me up; but, did not send an email for me to confirm it.

Entropic Uncertainty Principle
At companies I've worked at, Tableau ($x00,000 per company) is limited to save cost by:

1) internal users are limited to the "chosen ones" and

2) often HA is sacriiced to cut the server licensing costs in half. ie. the product champion "forgot" to add the HA hosts because cost optics.

Oh, and the product champion always says, "It's for offline reporting, it will never be connected to the homepage/admin page." Me a week later: "What's this fancy USA map on the admin page?"
If you love endless optimization and squeezing every last bit of performance out of software and hardware you’d love being an engineer in the high-frequency trade industry. I wouldn’t be surprised if someday high-frequency traders even discovered a way to send information at faster than light speeds. Can you imagine the implications? So much profit.
True. But still excruciating that Google refuse to let the users' configure that. You can't even save this settings on the browser's search engine.

The #1 importer for Brazilian beef and soya is actually China. China accounted for 85% of Brazilian soya exports and 45% of beef exports in 2019/2020. Aside from China, European countries actually rank higher as importers than the United States.
Apparently you could solve this using the dataloader pattern/library.

I use emacs from time to time, and I consider myself an advanced beginner. I have wrote 2 or 3 times a relatively extensive .emacs and sinked several hours each time playing with its configuration, searching for nifty things, reading other people's blog posts; played with org mode and used eww to geek out a little bit.

This is, in my opinion, the best way to introduce people to light .emacs configuration. To the point that I think there should be 4 or 5 different minimal .emacs such as this one in the main project page.

I understand why there is resistance to enhance the default UX and configuration, and I see the allure of spacemacs, doom, prelude, etc. But it is overkill, and pushes you down a configuration slippery slope that some enjoy too much and others dread, but that kills productivity.

> you learnt that it recommends Emacs and SLIME for development environment and it seemed like a significant additional learning curve for you?

This is the key. This is what pushes a lot of people away from emacs. Just have a "1 click" better default that also serves as a tutorial / example of how to cover 1 simple use case: one for common lisp, another one for clojure, a couple of different ones for python, one for writing a book. Just feed the space between no config and 3h of research. Have something to point out to newbies.
First - super cool new fiber cable.

Second - I'm not sure high frequency trading adds much to the world itself. But, have the algorithms or technology they develop been taken and used elsewhere? Maybe without them, this kind of cable development would not have happened as quickly? Maybe it creates an increase demand for higher-level STEM degrees given the draw of earnings potential (and not all would make it, meaning some STEMs go on to work on actually valuable things for society?). It's interesting to think about.

>Lumenisity, the startup backed by Jump, is betting that hollow-core fiber will find uses beyond trading, for instance in telecommunications and 5G networks. “We see HFT as an early adopter for the use of hollow-core,” Lumenisity Executive Chairman David Parker said in an interview. He declined to comment on his firm’s relationship with Jump.

>Supporters say hollow-core fiber could be used for high-bandwidth links in places like northern New Jersey where the NYSE and Nasdaq have their data centers, or even under the Atlantic, connecting London and New York, if the technology gets good enough.

“There is a setting, you should have known”
Ok clearly that is paraphrasing what the support worker had said but here’s my problem with such an attitude. Smart Devices are complex things, who knows about every option and setting there is on an iPad? I would like to think I’m rather clued up on such things but I’ll be the first to admit I’m not aware of every option or settings there is on one.

I know the payment controls exist, you reading this probably know these controls exist, but because this type of story (inadvertently spent X on app/play store) pops up so often it tells me that not everyone is aware of such a feature. (A client who I know is tech savvy was not aware about the parental control options in iOS where he and his wife could control their child’s access limits from their phones. If he wasn’t aware of the feature then to me that’s a pointer that such features are not talked about enough)

I don’t think that a single message during on boarding is enough, it might not seem needed at the time, situations change, the user think “I’ll do that later” but forget. So I would like to see more reminders about the feature. (but I do understand that there is a fine line between reminding and annoying, I’m looking at you iPlayer)
Covid-19 vaccine distribution can learn a thing or two from Dippin’ Dots
Hey kamaal. Nice to meet you here! :)

Clojure is quite popular at my workplace, however I do use Common Lisp and Scheme for hobby projects.

For example, parts of http://mathb.in/ (parsing, sanitization, spam alert, etc.) are written in Common Lisp. By the way, the code of MathB.in is old, rotting, and not fully open source. If I can find the time for it, I will clean it up, add HTTPS to the website, and release the complete source code soon.
You're not wrong, but it's also more complex than that. They could choose to apply "commerciality tests" which include things like whether you're paying over the odds or whether other forms of sponsorship would have a better commercial effect. https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-man... is HMRC's own guidance to its tax inspectors on some of these points.

For example, if my company fancied donating £1000 a month to the curl project because we think it's a fantastic tool worth supporting (it is!) but we only use it in a handful of scripts, HMRC might give us some grief if it came up in an inspection. I dare say given the expected technical knowledge of the average tax inspector that a typical HN reader could prevail in such a challenge ;-)
Adding Pocket, which is basically the Read It Later feature that every other browser has, and there is no complaint about, is trivial compared to Google, say, logging you into your Google account in Chrome when you log into GMail in your browser.

Also, the OP comment is hilarious because they clearly seem to have forgotten why people bitched about Pocket in the first place. It wasn’t because it was an integration of Mozilla’s services. It was exactly the opposite. It was the fact that Pocket was NOT a Mozilla service at the time the integration happened that people bitched about it.

Which just goes to show that it wasn’t a real concern, but a Twitter net pointless and baseless moral crusade.

Not more than you’re already twisting it using resolvers? I’ll admit it will look like magic though.
It is not (quite) as bad as it sounds.

If you have built a module-enabled Go binary yesterday with a specific version of an external dependency, you will get that exact version of the dependency tomorrow when you rebuild (IFF you have version-controlled your go.mod and go.sum, which you should). And if someone tries to be sneaky and move the release tag, the checksum will no longer match, and your build will fail.

If you want to upgrade the version of a dependency, that is doable (with plenty of toll assistance), but it requires a positive action.

Theer is, however, no good solution for the "first use". But, that is pretyt much standard.

I normally just delete mailing list mails. I don't even read them.

This year i decided to do "something" about it, so every mailing list mail received in my inbox that i don't want/care for gets an unsubscribe. It has already reduced my daily mails by a somewhat large amount. It's hard to say exactly how much, but i estimate around 10 emails less every day.

Most of the unsubscribed lists are from companies where i've purchased something andthe seller took the liberty of subscribing me to their mailing list. Those are mostly pre-GDPR that i've just never gotten around to dealing with.

The execption is of course obvious spam mails, to which unbsubscribing will probably do more harm than good.

> how much larger is a Trilobyte exactly?

Trilobyte actually was the name of a game company from the 1990s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilobyte_(company)

The official company logo consisted of a trilobite superimposed on a pyramid, which is relevant and loosely on-topic.

Some could also interpret it to be a trillion (million million) bytes, 10^12 bytes in modern usage of the word trillion. The correct term would be terabyte, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terabyte

Historically and still in some countries as of 2020[1], a trillion was and is a million million million, which would've been 10^18. (Note that prior to the mid-20th century, "byte" was not a common term, if used at all. The homonym "bite", however, is understood to be involved in food processing for storage. I've never heard anyone refer to a trilobite as a trillion bites, though.)

In Urban Dictionary, a trilobite is also defined as "a great word for Trekkies or others who will live in their mother's basement until retirement."[2] Where such an individual goes after retirement may not be well-understood.

I've seen patio11 say things like this over the years, but hadn't connected the dots with this particular issue - genius. Certainly something we'll consider doing as a CYA against HMRC (or even our own bookkeeper who is rather strict with us).
For the record I think if we saw the emergence of strong AI, that could actually match the full range of human capabilities, including independently setting and pursuing objectives to fulful a long-term fitness function, it would be the greatest existential threat that humanity has ever faced, far exceeding that posed by nuclear weapons and environmental collapse through pollution and over-consumption of natural resources.

But the scenario envisioned is not why I would consider it such a threat. It's the AI that integrates in society that is dangerous, not some cartoonish unstoppable rogue program, or group of programs, that single-handedly plow through all defenses.
