QUIC-based UDP transport for SSH (draft-bider-SSH-QUIC-09)
Not only have they engaged in multiple interface redesigns with loss of features with no apparent gains, the last firmware update removed the ability for me to use the Protect app locally on my network without needing cloud access enabled. This breach has only confirmed my belief that my home cameras must stay off their cloud. Extremely dissatisfied.
>Well last time I got angry down votes for saying this. But you are really renting if apple can lock you out.

Only in the same way that you're "only renting" a safelock if you can lock it and are not able to open it (e.g. by forgetting the lock, or having some key inside).

>My non technical wife managed to lock herself out of her device and icloud with no recourse as I didn't preserve the reciept.

That's a security feature. If there was a recourse then locking the device (when you're done using it for the moment) would be security theater.
It has been thought that we infested each planet on which we dropped a probe with tardigrades, especially the earlier missions. Inadvertently infecting the Solar System is one argument against space exploration...humans are just too dumb and clumsy at this point.
Perhaps this depends on the institution in question?
Thanks!

Pity that I guess I won't be able to understand the papers linked in the foreseeable future.
The ISP doesn't have an agreement with Facebook though. They have an agreement with the end user.

This would be like Amazon banning a specific end user from accessing and AWS hosted product.
That's a restriction on the account.

For the device you can always erase and start from scratch.

Organized scalable social moderation is as doable with centralized services as it is with P2P.

The difference is that a centralized service has at least one person that must be responsible for content, whether or not they moderate it adequately, whereas, with a P2P service, each user may effectively run their own service and must be responsible for its content, whether or not they moderate it adequately.

P2P would seem then to have more scalable user-invested moderation. Unfortunately, some using these services think they’re in the internet equivalent of a bohemian nudist colony. That’s not how it works, though. The responsibility is heightened, not lessened.
I think he's implying people in Silicon Valley are often entitled, and he's not wrong.

Which is pretty hard to disagree with.
Linus's expertise in programming OS kernels in C doesn't translate very far. It went far enough to make a fast implementation of a distributed version control system designed by somebody else, but not far enough to make an accessible command-line interface for it, or a reliable storage engine.

(TIL that my git repository at work is corrupt. Again. Second time in two years. "git fsck" thinks it's fine. "git repair" spins forever.
Thinking hard about Fossil just now...)

We might reasonably guess that he is dead wrong about the merits of C++ as an implementation language. Observationally, he would have plenty of company.
I personally came to a conclusion, that "true" is not a word to apply to a physics equation. Truth is a mathematical abstraction, which is useful often, but to speak about truth we need to assume as given some other truths and call them axioms. In this sense almost anything could be true given the right axioms. The article seems to be confused and mixes ideas like "true", "real" and "valid". Math statements might be true. Physics theories might be valid. What is real is a deep philosophical question and the answer... well, it depends...
Dgraph the Native GraphQL DB
The recommendation I've seen around is to run opnsense or pfsense for the router, then unifi APs. (I first found out about it from a YouTube channel as being a way.
https://youtube.com/user/TheTecknowledge . They are PFsense resellers, which is why they talk about it. But they could go straight unifi but they don't. After running PSNs myself for the last 4 years, I like opnsense being a little more open to community involvement, versus the control that PFsense has.).

Opnsense forums have lots of recommendation for hardware, which is the path I went recently. I went with https://protectli.com/, which are just some rebranded hardware sold on Alibaba, but they provide support ontop of the hardware.
Long term effects of banning Parler
A single DB machine can easily become a performance bottleneck.

It doesn't matter if it sorts 1000x faster than client code, when there aren't cycles left to perform this (in theory) very performant sorting.

This might not be your actual problem, but I've seen it hit a completely oblivious dev team before :)
No, the article is wrong. My Big Brothers Jack and Mark know exactly what are doing. I will not express my opinion here, I can be "deplatformed". I will put here, instead, a recipe of apple pie. Hopefully it will not be offensive to anyone.

Apple Pie Recipe

INGREDIENTS
About 5 cups thinly sliced apples (peeled and cored), 8-10 medium apples
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1–2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Double pie crust
1 egg white + 1 tablespoon water
granulated or chubby sparkling sugar, optional

INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium bowl add the sliced apples. Sprinkle with the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt and toss gently to combine well.
Roll out and place an uncooked pie crust in the bottom of a deep 9-inch pie plate.
Place the apple mixture in the uncooked pie shell. Place the small pieces of butter on top of apple mixture.
Top with second pie crust, crimp the edges, and then cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to vent.
Mix the egg white and 1 tablespoon of water together in a small bowl and then brush the top with water and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
Bake at 450 for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 and continue cooking for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
If the edge of the crust starts to brown more quickly than the center, carefully cover the edge with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Can be made ahead of time and served at room temperature.
Lessons from my first (bad) on-call experience
Though iirc from my (orthodox) catechism st benedict predates the western christian tradition of unmarried clergy. Monks would have been celibate always though I think.
In real life, there is both internal pressure to not be a dick, and if you push things too far, the threat of external pressure.

On the internet, there is little of the former (Our monkey brains are not default-wired to treat text we read on a computer with respect and empathy), and none of the latter.
Some ppl who studied social sciences might even be uninterested in statistics and look at it as off topic.

After all, most people aren't good at mathematics (i think) and someone who, say, chose to study psychology might have preferred that there wasn't any math stats courses in the program at all.

(I know one such person in real life)
Our constitution and bill of rights were also written in blood. Which is why we don't have to bow to a king.
> The biggest danger to US citizens right now is due to right wing violence, not left wing.

False dichotomy. You are hyper-focused on the american partisan culture war, that you've lost sight of the bigger picture. I'm guessing you consume a lot of content from the news & entertainment companies, as they do tend to convey this as well.

Let's take your 'right-wing extremists have killed 117 people since 2010' point that was presented in the article. Where does that 117 rank in terms of causes of death since 2010?
where I work for, our stack is all about GCP/Airflow/Python/BigQuery ML, for recommender systems. I'm now playing around with Turicreate (Apple) to compare with BQML.
> The entire rationale for section 230 was to allow online services to exercise editorial control over user-generated content — to not be a neutral host of all legal content — while also not holding them civilly liable as a publisher with certain narrow exceptions (but also leaving them criminally liable for anything that would carry criminal liability.)

I don't disagree with that and I don't see how it refutes my comment.

> But the choice to sell books (e.g., distributors) has, like the situation of online UGC service providers, always carried lesser liability than publication, but the choice to carry or not carry particular books is still a First Amendment activity.

Unlike online UGC service providers, bookstores can be forced to remove defamatory books[1] in the US. There's a reason there's a law specifically for UGC service providers, and you cannot defend this while at the same time demanding that they get treated like book stores when it comes to compelled speech.

I do applaud Twitter and Facebook for blocking dangerous rhetoric.

I also applaud this ISP for blocking Twitter and Facebook, but not because they blocked Trump. Both platforms are a cesspool of misinformation, echo chambers, self esteem issues in children, mental manipulation and many other problems. Good riddance.

I always find this a bit like “do submarines swim?”

Dunno, don’t care, just want a functional machine. If it gets from A to B, “swimming” is irrelevant.

As a matter of philosophy, the typical response is qualia happens to everything, but we only recognize it in things with dense computation and self-awareness similar to ours.

Like a cat or a dog or a whale.

We can maybe see hints of it in birds, insects (colonies), etc.

We’re starting to discover some of the complex signaling pathways in, eg, old growth forests — but they’re so out of scale and unlike us, we have trouble comprehending whatever experience, eg, the giant fungus under Oregon might have.
The rule against unmarried clergy came pretty late in the game I believe. Anyway I think it was more of a practical organizational determination, not a theological thing.
You need a better name. Qbix sounds like a breakfast cereal to me. Names like Facebook or MySpace in contrast are simple and obvious about what they are.

We didn't lose any branches of government, but the proceedings of the legislature were disrupted for most of a day. I'm sure if they had been working on an emergency thing and not a formality that it could be continued in a bunker but it still feels like a huge deal to me. Maybe it's mostly symbolic, idk.

I agree though, it doesn't seem like a coup since they got in and then had no plan for what to do once there. It was just unfocused anger.
>All things seen in the group.

Yeah, so? If a group of "neo-nazi" tags along, that makes everybody a neo-nazi (much less so, a nazi danger, as neonazi is more like a kind of "edgelord" archetype for far-right leaning people).

If a group had the hammer and sickle or Mao or whatever on their t-shirts on a democratic side protest would it make the people there "communists"?

Or would mean anything about some "danger" to the US of communism becoming installed?

US was, is, and will remain corporatist and capitalist. Democrats, Republicans, and Liberalists all agree on that, and even if they didn't, tough luck, it's not them that have the power, the corporatist elites do.

There is as much "danger" of a fascist coup as there is of a communist overtaking, or as there was of Obama being a radical pro-Black president or Trump "draining the swamp": zero.

The rest are talking points for masses with nothing better to do (and pundits that make money of it) to hit each other with.

My european 2 cents.
> I think OP's question is what happens when it takes less than criminal activity to get kicked off of vendors such as AWS?

Right now I have my own virtual machine for my web services. There are half a dozen of similarly affordable, neutral platforms not owned or affiliated with Amazon. Even my opinion were unpopular in the US, I could host in the EU, Canada, or Sweden.
The article references:

> Galbraith, who had just published “<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jul/11/100-best-nonfi..." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Affluent Society</a>

Which would indicate recently (post-2016).

Edit: I'm also seriously annoyed by articles that don't display the published date.

Edit2: But I believe it references the quantitative easing, "printing money to boost the economy", which has been done ever since 2009, and which so far seems to have been working, but there's uncertainty as to whether it's sustainable or will lead to a collapse of the whole economy.
I guess this is what algorithmic trading looks like?

Taibbi is 'fringe' because Substack? Is that really what you are saying?

Rolling Stone is not The Economist but I have a hard time understanding the way you seem to be trying to characterize Taibbi.

Can you point to the specific 'wild things' and/or dishonesty in the Taibbi piece?
I assume then you banned the poster who I was replying to as well. Since all I did was replace “Fox News” with “CNN” in his statement.

Maybe not by modern standards but by 1920/30s standards fascist were radical feminists.
Though you'll probably end up with Atheros wifi chipset on modern hardware... and I've found the OpenWRT drivers to be extremely unreliable when providing multiple SSIDs--- crashing every few days instead of weeks of uptime.

I keep hoping that one of the OpenWRT snapshots will fix it, but this is something I've been fighting with for years on multiple pieces of hardware.
Most Common Design Patterns for ML
I think saying "packages" was an error on my part, because how this is different from the usual C++/other language example is that Haskell is a ML language, and gives you a lot of abstractions (rather than packages per say) to use. Generally using packages in haskell is easy because you don't care what abstraction they were written in (almost always IO is there somewhere, or they offer a doTheThingIO function which is the lowest common denominator), and if they're completely functional libraries then it really really doesn't matter.

The commenter was railing against the abstractions the codebases used, not the underlying packages actually. I don't want to get into explaining it, but it is very easy to write production-ready simple haskell, but also very easy to spend hours building abstractions in the type system (normally) to build yourself a straight jacket. OK so if I explain it a little bit, there are at least three ways that have surfaced in recent time (lets say the last 5 years) on ways to structure large effectful haskell codebases (which is most software you'd want to write).

- Everything in IO (just do everything in the IO monad)

- monad stacks & transformers

- The ReaderT pattern

- Effects (free/freer, polysemy, fused-effects, etc)

All of these approaches have high quality libraries to support their use, but you could stay at that first one (everything in simple IO) and be very happy for a very long time.

I'd argue that C++'s problematic features are of a different nature -- when one of them goes wrong you normally have a much more disastrous outcome (whether at runtime or when you're trying to grok the code). For example compare C++'s templating system to haskell's support of generics for example, one is infinitely safer to approach and easier to understand than the other for the simple case, due to how the languages are built (i.e. no inheritance). Haskell it's more up to you to strangle yourself with the complexity -- the necessary abstractions are pretty simple (typeclasses, monads are simple in use, if not in concept), but the unnecessary abstractions basically scale to PhD.

I will absolutely concede that Haskell does encourage you to reach for higher and higher levels of abstraction for diminishing returns. But I will take Haskell's abstractions over Java's abstractions any day of the week, even though Haskell's can be more inscrutable.

Cut n pasting the same comment[1][2] multiple times is rude IMHO.

I believe that there is a lot of noise in the numbers, and a large numbers of causal factors. Florida or Sweden could easily be random outliers, or that the actual reasons could not be due to the cause and effect you are using as an “explanation”.

I haven’t seen any claims that HFT is allocating capital in better directions. They’re mostly reacting to the same signal and trying to trade the same asset at the same price, right? That’s the only case where the latency matters, because the market uses order time to break ties.
I doubt it. This is way more work for your typical eng than setting up SSL.

I believe most algorithmic trading is considerably less sophisticated than this. This in particular is options trading, which is more complex than the trading of equities or debt.

Can you explain how this rule is meant to work? So if someone supports an idea and then commits violence then discussion of this idea should be removed from the public square. I don't see any evidence that the 'stop the steal' campaign organized the violence in the Capitol. This just seems to be a game of association. A bunch of people who committed illegal violent acts believe X, people using the slogan Y also believe X so any use of slogan Y should be removed from the public square.

It looks like the original reason the 'stop the steal' page was removed from Facebook was for 'misinformation' and now they are blacklisting the slogan because it's associated with 'misinformation' and they also believe that talking about such things causes violence.
Nice. This is a very different service though.
Ask HN: Where to find non-profit remote jobs
Hi HN,

I'm looking for Jobs/Job Boards for remote programming/DevOps jobs that care about their people (I'm assuming nonprofit would self-select for this). I've worked at large and small organizations and have found them all the same with different people and different amounts of resources. They place time-to-market and cancerous growth over everything else. I'd like to grow as a developer, make a difference, and have hobbies outside of work.

Thanks for reading!
I'm not aware of one, but would be interested if there was. I'd prefer to run it on Linux. Zoneminder seems to be the common recommendation, but most discussions I've seen of it have not been very positive.

There's Xeoma and Blue Cherry, neither of which I know very much about. Never heard anyone mention either of them. So I figured BlueIris was what I'd try. Seems to be what everyone on YouTube is using...

They do go through the kernel; it asks the kernel "can I use rdrand", and the kernel says "yep, go ahead, it works on this CPU". If that's not true, and it doesn't work on the CPU, then it's the kernel's fault for lying and saying that it does.
This is wrong. First, the UDM is not discontinued- it's for sale right now. Second, you don't need a USG+key to do VLANs. You do need to run a Unifi controller, but you can self host that anywhere like on a RasPi or in a VM. You don't need a USG to do the tagging and routing, either... the VLANs you set in the Unifi controller will work with any router/gateway it's just not all streamlined into the controller interface if you use a separate gateway. I know this because I do exactly that, I have a pfSense gateway and Unifi switches/APs.
There is no such thing as a properly configured NAT implementation that does not have timeouts for idle sessions. Without those you’d run out of memory on your router and new sessions would be blocked.
Exactly, there are parallels between the news leaking and between what happened during the holocaust. Except now you're dealing with a more sophisticated enemy.
That’s a great test idea I have not used myself, thanks!

I’m also working on forks of logging systems to make them smart about what they log in the first place, but not quite like the Palantir does it.
This is super interesting! Wouldn’t nohup do the same thing though?
Yeah, I'm afraid we may see pressure to further erode civil liberties under the guise of stopping the enemy of the day. After all, this enemy is uniquely evil, and we need to stop them in any way we can or society as we know it will be destroyed. (or so goes the story that we replay over and over)
Disagree. Theres a big difference between passive and active collection attacks. If the stakes are a site-wide password breach, it can make sense to eliminate passive attacks specifically.

Remember, sometimes breaches are caused because someone at the POP left HTTP parameter logging enabled.

Mosh is great - it drastically improved my ability to work remotely over my DSL connection.

This is such a stupid take. Social media isn’t the problem: people are.

The internet was supposed to bring us all together as one global community based on our shared interests. Instead it’s created ghettoes and echo chambers where people of all political stripes work together to reinforce their existing prejudices.

We as a society are going to have to figure out how we want to deal with this because it’s not going away. The idea of government policing what people say on the internet is anathema to most people here, and with good reason. But the alternative is private corporations doing it based on their shareholders’ whims, and only when the situation gets bad enough to cause them potential legal exposure.
