This is indeed much shorter than what I’ve seen around.

As a developer/team lead that might need to answer these questions to a satisfactory degree, what are resources that would actually help implementing this kind of security infrastructure?
I didn't say that non-Elastic employees could not contribute. I said that they cannot become maintainers.

Non-elastic pull requests are merged, as I mentioned in [1].

I only had reading cards offline in mind & hadn't even considered editing/creating cards offline, so that's already more than satisfactory for my needs. Thanks!

Wikipedia is great in the sense that there’s no unseen algorithms dictating usage, but the editing is subject to human bias obviously.
There’s edit wars, false removals of obscure topics, moderators with an ax to grind, and many more problems on Wikipedia when it comes to actual submissions.
I know a few friends who take NAD booster supplements. Does it increase their chance of developing cancer? Just curious as there seems to be a connection based on what I read recently.
The graphic designer in me wants to flog whoever is responsible for that graphic at the top. The drop shadows go 3 different directions and the one on the taped paper has way too much offset.
You are probably right. For EDM, cultural differences have kept the US lagging behind Europe and the UK. EDM-specific clubs are not common outside of major cities known for nightlife. A lot of EDM tours end up at venues that aren't designed for EDM. These are the conditions informing people's tastes, so probably a big factor for why bass isn't as prominent as elsewhere. There truly are fans an places where it is very much alive, just not as strong as other places IMO.
Would really appreciate a link. Have been looking at magnetic USB C connectors but some look shady/bad.
There is a banner in the Android app, not on the desktop.
Thanks for the thorough answer Alex. I look forward to reading and hope this experiment works out.
I'm sure you can... but I think one of the big hiccups is that you need DNS to point to your server if you want it to be externally available.

I've used XMPP servers for intra-organization chatservers before though, and it worked great!
Didn't Signal just have a couple hundred percent gain in users, on TOP of the hundred+ percent gain in users that Telegram had? Signal is on top of both of the primary app stores.

He wasn’t abusive to his roommate or coworkers, so the divide wasn’t stranger/close acquaintance.

Sorry to spell it out, and I don’t expect any sympathy for it, but the pattern was man/woman.
The Intercept seems to be pivoting toward a safer, non-adversarial orientation lately. I don't know who they're trying to please with that move. Omidyar? Democrat pols? Their own more centrist staff? The world doesn't need another outlet for liberal conventional wisdom. Cowardly outfit.
It is sadly typical and can result in something a friend of mine experienced. She left her husband, told friends that he was abusive, and the general response was "Him? But he's such a great guy! You must be lying."

( Fortunately for her, the friends who attempted to console him pretty soon noticed how violent he got when he talked about her. When he threw a glass at the wall at a friend's apartment, she started getting a lot of apologies. )

It's almost an adaptive behavior. If they were violent to strangers, they wouldn't have long term acquaintances.

I'm sure most of any discussion that will happen about this article is about dissatisfaction with copyright law.

I just want to say that of every book I was required to read in high school, The Great Gatsby is the only one that I never understood why we read it. The only thing I got out of it is "Being a vapid rich asshole isn't all it's cracked up to be". I understand it as a product of its time and a portrait into the Roaring 20s, but that subtext works better in an actual History class than an English class.
Anecdotally, I can confirm that it's similar in essence and just overwhelmingly stronger in effect. It's a bit like having finally decided every single one of the big decisions of life in the same split second (because that's what it is in the moment).

It's also stronger than that because the very likely "normal state" of your brain up to that point is severe depression, so you're not anywhere near what people might consider an average state of mind, and you're getting that strong of a kick.

You can ride that euphoria for quite a while even through some of the nagging doubts clawing their way back between the initial feeling and the last action. I doubt much research can be done for what I'm about to say (and I might be very wrong), but I have the feeling that when you're alone (mentally) you can ride that wave for a decent amount of time yet with just a very brief REAL interaction with another human being you can snap out of it. It might not fully dissipate but still break the trance-like state.

Not a lot of interactions might feel real like that, but when they do they can be life-changing (for obvious reasons) even when the subject matter is frivolous.

You'll likely never know just how many you changed, nor why.

We often notice how "easy"/quick it is to hurt somebody by saying something even light-hearted, but when it comes to that extreme you'd be surprised how very few words about mundane things can prevent a collapse (at least that time).

Maybe I'm in the minority here but; I'd buy an iPhone with a tactile keyboard in a heartbeat if they offer it. I get where they were going with a virtual keyboard, and I agree with what Jobs said when they announced the first iPhone. The accuracy of a virtual keyboard, however, is just painfully bad.

Fair enough, but I enjoyed the talk as is. I tried to give sources in defense of UncleMeat but I can only overcome my own bias so much.

I'm not interested in getting suckered into believing some randall carlson gobbledygook, the type I might leap to assume UncleMeat would find quite problematic.

I just think UncleMeat initially came in, said something along the lines "this is bad, don't do this, ask people who know better" and it has been made clear they had the capacity to contribute more that what read to me as nothing more than the logical fallacy that is an appeal to authority. They have clarified their position enough to where I can no longer be left with such impression.
Great point. Do we have a comparison point with diesel generators in terms of the largest module that cannot be broken down further? I suspect that there is a seasonality to the roads too and let's not forget that some communities may be accessible by ship/barge.
I use the Signal app as my default for everything because of this feature (secure communication with Signal users and insecure SMS with non-Signal users)
I paid for bumble during the pandemic mostly to meet people closer to me who were looking for lock down buddies. Not a romantic or sexual relationship, but a platonic one using the BFF mode it offers. I did meet few interesting people around with that.

Well first of all I was wrong -- the PDP7 did have syscalls, I'm just bad at reading PDP7 assembly and missed the dispatcher. Curiously, it looks like the sequence is entirely different, although there could be some magic that makes the order different than it appears at first glance.

https://github.com/DoctorWkt/pdp7-unix/blob/master/src/sys/s...

It's all just guessing, but I figure the explanation is much simpler -- for PDP11 UNIX, they just kept using the same syscalls up till V7 / 2BSD, and there should have been a sort of "rolling release" binary compatibility. For the VAX, the first port (32v) probably just retained the original numbering since there was no reason to deviate from it, which colored 3BSD and 4BSD, hence {Net,Free,Open}BSD and Darwin and friends.

Worth pointing out that several versions of Linux have rather different syscall tables. 32 bit ARM and x86 are more-or-less matches, with ARM differing on a few early syscalls, while 64 bit ARM and amd64 differing quite dramatically. The old ABI for 32bit MIPS also matches, but both the n32 and n64 ABIs use slightly variant syscall tables. PowerPC 32/64 bit is also a close match, although it has some impedance (I think it matches closer to AIX by design)

At the end of the day, I think the similarity is mostly a mixture of coincidence, system developers being influenced by their bootstrap system's syscall tables, and no real reason to change them up. No reason to not change them, either, since it's pretty trivial to use different dispatch tables for different types of processes, like how the BSD's handle other-OS compat.
Not sure if it's only showing on Android but I had to attempt to send a message first before it showed.
The people receiving the orders are trained to understand that they do not/will not have full situational awareness. The president issues the orders and they carry them out.

The presidential football is basically a menu of strike options that are ready to execute. To launch a strike all the president needs to do is call the number in the book, authenticate himself using the a two letter challenge code, and tell them which strike from the menu to order. Targeting is preprogrammed and designed to eliminate any delay or nuance in the process.

The US has spent billions (trillions?) of dollars on its nuclear strike capabilities and the systems that order its use. To presume that these systems will fail precisely when they are called upon seems short sighted.
fwiw I do not see the banner on android. That being said, things break. Breaking in a way you can notice it's broken is good, but pobody's nerfect.

Bumble has been great to use as a college student, especially during covid.

I know a lot of you are married so let me put this out here: I (and most young people) will not put their romantic life on pause cause of a virus. Every dating app got an influx of people due to bordem from lockdowns.

I'm biased towards (investing in) bumble because it has anecdotally acted as the best dating 'middleman' compared to tinder/hinge. I've had only great experiences taking bumble girls on dates.

Compared to tinder, bumble has more serious people looking to date. The system is set up so girls message first and matches will expire after 24 hr. When a girl messages you first, she is already more invested in getting to you know than when a guy using a cheesy pickup line on tinder.

I've always loved the philosophy bumble took to the dating scene compared to the apps part of $MTCH.
Hopefully it'd teach them a lesson to stay humble after their stupid recent tweets laughing at whatsapp indirectly.
How is Linux with it now in 2021. I'm currently not needing a new laptop, having the T25 and just replaced a US keyboard to it, it'll be great for the next 10-15 years.

But, if I need a laptop from the company, I'd definitely look into the AMD series of ThinkPads, if I could get a good Arch Linux experience with it.
I was using click, but it requires too much boilerplate. Fire is much simpler to use, just as powerful (or maybe 95% as powerful) and it's developed by Google devs (it's not an official Google project as far as I remember), so it seems of reasonable quality.

Four years? Counting how? War in Europe began in September 1939. So the US didn't do anything until September 1943? Bull. (I mean, I guess they didn't land in Europe until Italy, which was 1943. But even though it wasn't in Europe, they were still fighting Germany in Africa in 1942.)

> It only joined the war after Europeans had already killed more than 23 million Germans, and destroyed most of its military.

German military casualties were only 5.3 million by the high estimate. Total German casualties were only 7.4 million by the high estimate - for the whole war. So... I don't know where you get your ideas, but they are objectively very wrong.

"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement..." - Frederick Hayek

Whether or not UBI is a good idea, a useful idea, or a moral idea is an interesting question (I generally think not, but it seems that position is losing the debate). Arguing for UBI (or any other aspect of the economy) from an engineering perspective is a mistake though. An economy is not an elevator. When we put failsafes in to elevators, we know what they do. When we put failsafes in to economies, they behave in bizarre, unpredictable ways.

A lot of things went in to the 2008 financial collapse, but at least part of it was due to a large group of smart (but in retrospect, unwise) people assuming that a math equation accurately represented the financial system.
Why not do a some kind of lazy P2P instead of proactive P2P?

IIRC, Signal calls are P2P.
> We have engineered a life support system without fault tolerance, and we did it because engineers didn't design the system. Politicians did. Special interests did. And it's built on antiquated job-centric moralism instead of contemporary life-centric realism.

You're wrong, nature built it and it works.

One is supposed to fail safe by getting help from family and then community (if they weren't kicked out). If both of those fail, you probably go down in a fail safe manner, without taking down others with you.

It's worked very well until engineers and progressives took over. Read The Fatal Conceit.
I'm not sure the headline reflects the discussion issue...It is anecdotal on how many Chinese users are using Signal, but the concern is that so many use third-party keyboards it could be compromising the secure nature of Signal (and the discussion is advocating for users to be made aware of the risks of using third party keyboards with Signal)
I got the rg280v because it's incredibly portable. I'm not sure about the battery life because I never want to play for more than a few hours at a time, but I haven't had problems. I would expect, though, that they're all built for you to go in with solder if you want to replace a battery.

I can't fully speak to their credibility, but I doubt it's an attack on HN users. I've heard of them outside of HN. If it is an attack on HN users specifically, then they're playing the long con. The first post to HN was 6.5 years ago.

Not necessarily. The amplifiers sometimes are though.

In a normal 2 or 3 way speaker cabinet, you'll have an analog crossover which consists of something like a capacitor in series with the tweeter (high pass filter), and an inductor in series with the woofer (low pass filter).

In that case, the tweeter is protected from DC, but the woofer isn't.
I've been toying with the idea of using some form of memory suspension. The theoretic cost of a cold start them becomes just the time it takes to rematerialize the memory from disk. Has anyone seen anything similar out there that could be a starting point?
Unbiased, or even slightly biased, is impossible. The torrent of factual information is of such a magnitude that it is impossible to present “all the facts”. And presenting any subset of those facts, even a random sampling, induces a bias in the resulting narrative. Including the information suggested in the article would add a different kind of bias. Impartiality is impossible. Neutrality is a a lie. Strong bias is inevitable, no matter the intent.
Whatever happened to the "large scale" UBI pilots that were being conducted over the last few years? I believe some were being conducted by Altman/et al.

Instead of (very) poorly fit conceptual models (this article), let's just look at the data.

From what I recall from other UBI pilots around the world, results have been mixed to outright disappointing.
Ask HN: Where can I start learning about hacking?
I'm an experienced developer but I can't get a job as a developer but honestly I had long ago started hating every second I spent writing software.

Instead of crying about not being able to get a job I guarantee I'll hate and will make me less of a person and generally unhappier I've finally had enough of a break from the iq-toxic environment that encompasses all of software development that I think I might be able to enjoy learning something new and maybe I'll get a job the specializes in that.

Two things come to mind. Machine learning and hacking. I think machine learning will be too similar to normal software development though. So maybe hacking is a good direction for me to try.

I've tried and failed with metasploit in the past. Failed because I couldn't find a good book. I know to be a hacker you have to know about a lot of things. I'm more interested in hacking into networks, finding vulnerabilities, and exploiting them. All legally, of course.

Please tell me what book I should read first. Thank you, and I will see you in Zion.
The military drills into its officers and enlisted personnel the fact that they not only can disobey an unlawful order, it's their duty. A direct presidential order is not inherently lawful, and I'd expect most commanders (especially, in contrast to lower ranking enlisted or officers) to be able to respond appropriately.
The Psychology of Magic and the Magic of Psychology
As I replied to another post: I've gone Type C only since about a year ago.

I guess I should have been clearer to point out that's it's still quite possible to(common?) to buy non-type C devices (you can still buy DE-9 serial devices too), but it's certainly possibly to buy a Type C version of almost anything (external drive/card reader/a lamp...).

Everybody's mileage can vary of course.
International law is one consideration but under US law, the generals are not allowed to refuse a launch order. Possibly they would anyway, but it's a poorly designed system that in some circumstances relies on people stepping outside the system in order to prevent WWIII.

Retaliation is another matter, but we at least need more safeguards against a president launching first. A good argument can be made that we shouldn't allow first strikes at all.
I wonder if it would be possible to have an user migration between servers without cooperation from the origin server. This would allow users to move to a new one without losing track of existing conversations.

Seems crazy, but the reason we can't do this with email is the lack of a generally agreed identity for an user account that does not depend on the server itself. Signal accounts have a "master" key that can provide this and it's only stored in the device and backups (it's the most trusted of all keys, after all).

A sketch:

- User creates an initial account on server X (account: user@serverX.org), the procedure includes signing a message saying "I use server X since $TIMESTAMP and this is the 1st server that I use";

- Everything works as now.

- User wants to change server, so they signs a new message "I use server Y since $TIMESTAMP and this is the 2nd server that I use" (account: user@serverY.org); this message is sent to all chats/groups/contacts and to the old server (as an information only, it may be already down or be non-cooperative). Contacts update the server part of the account and start sending messages through the new one. Maybe the user can still try to contact the old server for a while, for the event it delivers a message from a account that didn't get the first, but at some moment all users will get the new address.

- Notice: I have no idea of how this can work with sealed senders of other metadata-prevention measures that Signal uses and we all love.
I take OP's statement to mean a battery that can be easily replaced without taking the device apart.

I'm pretty sure you can replace the battery on (most? all?) 3DS models. At least on my New 3DS it's user serviceable.
