It could be a lot more efficient if they stopped trying to be subtle and instead spent more time thinking.

Openly admit NASA is a basic infrastructure assurance program, much like the Interstate highway system is. (Yes, it's Military capable infrastructure, for moving troops and stuff around. It turns out that useful infrastructure improves overall economic fitness and activity as well.)

Then group up all of the infrastructure spending and make sure it gives every citizen roughly equal value. Sometimes this can be justified in lower shipping costs for produced items from farms and backbone redundancy across the country. Other times it's connecting land and sea ports to the cross country grid. Evaluating a fair share of the commons and of resources to maintain the commons is a hard problem.

NASA also falls under various civic services the government proves because it makes sense for just one place to do the work; or at least for a baseline that private entities can compete against. The distribution of these programs also forms part of the weight to balance government improvements programs among areas.
E2E with forward secrecy was not possible in the past because email was an offline thing. You can't do PFS without a live connection between the endpoints.

However, these days this should be less of an issue in an ever connected world. Nobody uses UUCP or batched SMTP anymore :)
I use Libro.fm and am happy that at least some of my money ( 15%) is going to my local book store.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that good looks affect the sentence but that they play a lesser role in if you're convicted.
I don't think that's a charitable reading of the GP. More like "the government is aiming for something other than efficiency, and it gets what it's aiming for".

If the government were aiming for efficiency, we might see NASA taking a different path.
The author recommends BitWarden, but it seems like it's run by one guy. How do I know he doesn't go away? Get hit by a bus?
Mostly what you've done is change the colors, add a lot of blank space, and decrease the amount of text on the screen.
Also, I'm a big fan of U2F keys including Yubikeys.

I don't use SMS, deprecated it 10 years ago in favor of e-mail, and would never use SMS for 2FA. I still have a virtual SMS number that forwards to my e-mail for the idiot sites that still insist on it.

For most people, SMS is hackable, tied to a single battery-powered device, easy to steal (after which for most people in the default phone configuration the SMS verification codes will happily pop-up on the lock screen without unlocking the phone), and hugely inconvenient if you are in front of a desktop computer all day and have to go find your phone (at home for example I pretty much never have my phone next to me). SMS also famously locks people out of their accounts when they go to another country and have to use a different SIM card. Also, if you have a giant desktop in front of you, it's ridiculous to not use that as your 2FA device. You should NEVER have to pick up a 6" handheld device for 2FA when you have a massive immobile, hard-to-steal device in front of you that in my case is also physically locked down to furniture.

Yubikeys and other U2F keys do exactly this.

The article is wrong about one thing:

"But if you’ve stolen my laptop and the YubiKey is plugged in, then you’ve got the keys to my kingdom."

No. My preferred way to use Yubikeys is to buy one for each immobile device (home/office desktops) that stays plugged in, and ONE mobile key that lives in my wallet. Register all keys with critical services. If any device gets stolen (highly unlikely for the immobile devices, the mobile device is the only one I need to worry about really), go home, log in with another key and remotely disable it.

My main gripe is websites that don't allow multiple Yubikeys. AWS is at the top of my hall of shame.
Sure it does, but I'm more inclined to trust my own server than trust Signal's server (thus reducing the need for that verification to happen in the first place)
Start with an easy ask.

I got this question in a class I taught last week. Here's the advice and tips that resonated with the group:

- Don't start by asking "Will you be my mentor?" or "Can you review my skills and give me feedback?" It's a big investment of time and effort, if they don't know you.

- Instead, ask one or two thoughtful questions related to their expertise. Many people are happy to help, especially if it only takes 10 minutes of their time.

- If they don't respond, don't let that discourage you. Sometimes it's a numbers game: reach out to enough people and you'll find a connection.

- How to reach out the first time? There's a lot of ways you can try. Comment on an article they wrote, or email them about it. Engage them on a thread here on HN. Reply to them on Twitter. Attend an online event where people are speaking about the topics you're interested in.

- Most importantly, follow up. After they respond or you get to talk to them, send a thank-you summarizing what you learned and what was most helpful for you.

- Better yet, send another thank-you a month later with how their advice helped you: what did you do with it, and what was the result? People love to hear how their advice helped. You'll stand out from the crowd and they're more likely to continue engaging with you... and that's how the longer-term relationship can get started.

If you find this advice helpful - I'd love for you to reply here and let me know what worked for you!
How News Media Is Describing the Incident at the U.S. Capitol
This particular warrant case is not being searched for any violent behavior and has no history of violence, with the warrant happening in a place with no history of violence or abuse. There is no reason to be pulling guns in a home with children as soon as one enters it.

It shouldn’t be routine to draw weapons in a place where there is no reason to presume weapons exist.
Define terrible.

Oh, I’ll grant you the UI of these clients can be terrible. Facebook Messenger takes a shocking amount of resources.

But what’s the job to be done for most people? Chatting with friends. FB Messenger has the network effect built in. You can just message your friends. And send them goofy stickers.

What will get people to transition to an encrypted messenger where they have to duplicate their social network? Privacy? Yeah, OK, I am definitely going to get a friend to download a new app, create a new account, and go through whatever dance is necessary for encryption to ask if we want Mexican or Thai for dinner.
I use FreeCAD and the lithophane addon.
They had trade because they could. A Mars colony has to be self sustaining otherwise it will simply vanish at some point. For trade to work the cost to trade has to be acceptable.
You can start by making sure it has many citations, not self citations, and ideally also people challenging it.

Then you can judge the arguments of the paper and the papers referencing it.

Usually a paper with thousands of citations and only weak arguments against it is trustworthy.
Yes, the solution is … allow the protocol to let people run their own servers?
I am working on small acreage automation and robotics with the stated goal of swarming cobots and pairing them with farmers who work no more than 20 hours/week. Small acreage = 100 acre hubs with 20-25 swarming cobots.

I am skeptical about growing Terra produce in space and even about us consuming them out in space. How do we even digest food in space? I want to know more about that. I want to know what happens to our internal organs. How we age and how we process calories etc.

We are likely better off 3D printing our food and nutrients and calories in space. And some significant space ready body modifications would be required.

Having said that..keeping it technical..I am more interested in growing food in hostile environments here on earth. Or Mars like environments here on earth for wool gathering purposes.

Eventually some produce like lettuce and strawberries will be exclusively grown indoors. But forests and orchards and creating eco systems ..and soil food web is more important. And we need tech to assist us with that to regenerate our earth systems. As we automate them for earth, many of them can be tweaked or exported for space environments. Maybe.

Growing for Mars or space pushes my imagination and many good things have come from that. My email is my hn handle at gmail. Feel free to contact me if you want to chat further.
I mainly use work with Azure, but have worked with AWS too, and not yet with GCP. I'm a bit fan of Azure - the service on offer and the tooling.

Azure's UI is unusual, polarising even - you either love it or hate it, but I'm more on the "love it" side. When it was first released some years ago, it had some perf problems, but it got over those long ago. In use, I find it to be a really good UX - not sure I ever recall swearing at it because it was in my way :) I like that it has themes (e.g. dark mode), and for the most part, I also find it far more consistent than the AWS UI, which often feels like it's been cobbled together by several different teams. I also find the AWS UI feels pretty "clunky" and dated. And in terms of cost management, Azure is way more transparent and useful than AWS.

Regarding SDKs, not sure if you were really thinking of a single service in particular or more generally, but assuming the latter, I mostly disagree about Azure's SDKs. Some of the SDKs have had too much churn for my liking, and the docs don't always keep pace with those changes. In general though, I find them really good.

I'm not a huge fan of ARM templates for anything but the simplest deployments, but they get the job done. Bicep[0] shows MS are improving things, and there are a couple of nice OSS alternatives now, like Farmer[1].

I'm not a big fan of PowerShell in any form, but it's cross-platform, and I use it on occasion for Azure automation, and again it gets the job done without issues.

Azure CLI, I really like - it's OSS, cross-platform, and covers pretty much all services. Extensions/plugins mean that even new services are covered quickly. The syntax and commands are very consistent (there are a few exceptions, of course), and being able to output results in either JSON or CSV is great for parsing from the likes of Bash scripts. Also like the way you can filter and project output, without the need for something like jq.

Don't recall a single instance of something I could do in the UI but not via automation; aside from monitoring, cost reporting and quickly deploying throw-away stuff during dev, I don't feel compelled to use the UI.

Sentiment should be on Y-Axis showing the height of the bar.
I just noticed, the sentiment numbers are completely different by chart for color. Shouldn't these be normalized for direct 1-1 comparison, or do these numbers not function this way?

If they are comparable, then interestingly Amazon is by far and away the most liked, which I find surprising. AWS launch posts lifting them up I guess?

All of the other trends seem to match. The slow turn on Google is cool to see in literal colors!
I’m not complaining that she lacks credentials. Someone else brought up irrelevant credentials to try to bolster her image. I’m complaining about that.
But this is how it should work, the person in charge taking responsibility for what happens under them instead of foisting it on an underling, regardless of who made the actual decision. The buck ultimately stops at the top. More leaders should be like this.
I think the conundrum is that such a device uses either a simple UI (like pressing the button), which then is unable to convey to the user which transaction is to be signed off on (the desktop/laptop/phone might be compromised) or the device has its own display and multiple-choice input that'll be too expensive and cumbersome for all to carry around all the time, everywhere.
I agree with this. Even Signal is just barely this year entering in the realm of practically useable for most of my friends and family.
He thinks MCAS is fixed "the odds of a runaway trim scenario are now effectively nil." And stuff.
The employee who was first fired was an Antifa sympathizer had a history of harassing anybody who didn't align 100% with him politically, calling anybody to the right of Josef Stalin a Nazi, and generally trying to turn the workplace into a political battlefield at every chance. He also tried to intimidate the company by threating legal action and public defamation of the company when he didn't get his way.

The other guy had made a careless joke in 2014, which did not imply support for the Nazis but mocked the idea that free healthcare is ipso facto something beneficial. Indeed, this is something that people on the left understand very well, but you can hurt people severly by pretending to take it literally and labelling somebody a Nazi.

My prediction is that the first employee will soon be reinstated and get an official apology from Microsoft, the other guy will not.

This is a problem because it rewards the worst and most immoral behavior of the most unhinged activists from the left and increases political polarization, as conservatives, and also many white men in general, feel they are being treated very unfairly and realize that far-left activist employees are basically being allowed to frivolously hurt them with impunity and full company backing, even if their activism hurts the other employees ability to do their work and thus the company.

Young men in IT tend to have grown up with meme culture and the irreverent culture of online video games. They do not understand that people on the left really are in charge, and really want to hurt them and that their bloodlust can never be satisfied. Anybody who doesn't agree with the left is a literal Nazi in their minds and it is thus perfectly justified to use any means whatsoever to destroy them to prevent Nazis from gaining power, including lethal violence. Certainly any criticism is thus the equivalent of supporting germany in 1942. The left thinks their ideological enemies are war criminals who should be executed without trial, or even better be defamed into unemployability and homelessness and hopefully commit suicide, the ultimate triumph for the far-left mob.

Because of their obliviousness, thanks to the cultural isolation of gaming and culture and far-left academia, some naïve young software developers make stupid mistakes like believing the company will take context into consideration or that they will ever get a fair hearing. Indeed this is what happened with James Damore, who seems to be one of the most hated people on this board.

Now a massive boycott is being organized to support the histrionic leftist, and I am fully convinced it will succeed.

The most surprising thing is that the head of HR thought it was a wise move career-wise to defend the target du jour of the first guy. It speaks volumes to what "patterns of behavior" really means. There is an interesting quote from the first guy, "apparently the circle sounds akin to nazi apologists and ‘all lives matter’ type of bs."
As someone who has worked on large-scale deployments on both AWS and GCP, I would always prefer AWS over GCP. While GCP products are IMO superior to similar AWS offerings their support (even premium tier) is total garbage compared to AWS.
Friendly reminder that Audible DRM is easily crackable if you're willing to do a bit of googling.
MCAS isn't an anti stall system. It's a regulatory compliance system. Specifically, it's to comply with a regulation requiring that the force on the stick increase with increasing angle of attack.

The situation that the regulation addresses should never occur on a fare carrying flight. It's at the edge of the flight envelope, and a pilot who deliberately flies at the edge of the envelope with fares in the back should be prosecuted.

That said, sometimes things break, or weather causes things to go wrong. This may result in inadvertently flying near the edge of the envelope.

To a rough approximation, 0 out of a 1000 flights will meet the requirements for MCAS to activate.
That's why I suspected they had a whole flaky batch - the dongles were too reliably not working for different case.

But your random non-technical person only faced the fact that the chances of quickly setting up a meeting went down if the presenter needed a dongle.
Signal is not the best option by any means. But it's so much better than most of the other options like Whatsapp or iMessage. It's all about threat models.
Like all things, different niches attract different people. There's a market for cyber security and if you're well-versed and highly qualified, you could certainly make as much, if not more, than a software developer. Of course, we could get into the cynicism of how corporations view cyber security professionals (i.e. as someone to blame when something goes wrong, despite not listening to their cyber security employees because it would hurt their quarterly earnings), but that's tangential.
SLS never was going to enable space tourism. You have private companies doing that, and doing it better than Boeing.

SLS is worse than existing rockets in every way but one. Lift Capacity. Near term expected Space tourism doesnt need super heavy lift capacity. cheaper, faster, more reliable rockets already exist to get humans into LEO

While Falcon Heavy or Delta may be able to do some of the artemis missions, they currently cannot do all of them planned. Simply because of lift capacity or payload volume. However it will be interesting to see what happens to SLS if SpaceX gets starship going before SLS. Since SLS has already been in development for almost 10 years, and Boeing is in charge, many people think we will see an orbital Starship come to market before SLS hits orbit, and essentially rendering the entire SLS program a complete waste of time and money.

But dont worry, SLS will in no way slow down you getting to go to space, or your kids becoming belters. That timeline is independent of SLS, and may even be accelerated because of SLS failures.
Wouldn't that be LinkedIn's fault for (presumably) not marking the sidebar as "not SEO content"? A few other websites have been destroying my searches this way.
I have a 65W Baseus 2x USB-C with 1x USB3 port charger that's pretty good. The only problem with it is that when a device is plugged in and it "splits" the wattage between the ports, it temporarily cuts off the power (I'm talking like 100-200ms or so) to the devices. I had some issues trying to power a Thunderbolt 3 dock with it. Anything with a battery is no issue, though (phone, laptop, etc). I also assume any multi port charger is going to have similar issues, all the ones I've seen do the "wattage splitting" thing when there's more than one device plugged in.
Doesn't a green run refer to a beginner level course? Like a practice ski hill?
Not really, I don’t think all her research involved gathering and communicating relevant insights. There’s lots of other parts of research.

Also, data science is a sort of generic term and trying to generalize to any form of common characteristics is not very productive. I’m not aware of any certified curricula for data science or accreditation bodies so it’s kind of a marketing label assigned to everything from boot camps to GIS programs.

I think this is positive since lots of people work with data. But it’s problematic to assume that it means anything other than someone wants to signal that they work with data.
I wonder how people find glitches like this.
What exactly does that have to do with YubiKeys though? Every time you use one you need to enter password. And you can also immediately revoke it as soon as you notice its stolen.
However, to use native FIDO the SSH server must accept it (GitHub does not for example)

Whereas if you have RSA keys on the "full fat" Yubikey, they can be used regardless.
> Google used to buy datacenters in stealth mode, under different companies created for that purpose, to avoid getting on Microsoft's radar and keeping how successful search was from them.

I believe, Google for a long time (and still does?) thought their infrastructure was the secret sauce, and that might have impeded them from competing with AWS in the early years (despite having all the pieces in place already)?
Think of the financial institution that chooses not to do business with him as a bakery, and sargon is a gay wedding cake.

Banned from society? I was unaware that you're "banned from society" because private business Patreon doesn't want a relationship with you.
I do something like this in VSCode as well, Markdown todo lists:

- [ ] Task 1

- [ ] Task 1.1

- [x] Task 1.1.1

- [ ] Task 1.2

etc.

In particular, I break down yearly goals into quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily, each another node in the tree getting increasingly more specific.

It really helps understand the flow from the highest to the lowest levels of details. Only problem is if goals change midway, it's not propagating up the tree automatically. I just leave it like that though, not gonna manually fix that.
What is the other car?
We don't know that, no one has counted. There were tens of thousands of people there, how many were Nazis? We don't know how many of them are there in the US, for that matter.

What we do know is that they have no real cultural influence or power. That's why calling them out as particularly dangerous is an act of politics. It attempts to smear political opponents by grouping them with evil figures like Nazis, white supremacists and racists.

2FA absolutely will protect you from a phishing site using the password it stole.

Not if it also steals the 2nd factor. My response would be more like "2FA is good but not for this problem." This problem is about going to the wrong site. The solution is to go only to the right site.

This visualization is a mess. What does "sentiment" mean? Why are the ranges for each different? What does "comments" mean? Comments about the company or on threads about the company? Is it normalized for total comments on HN?

Please add a legend and some tool tips.
Yeah that's the price of a mid level 2020 laptop methinks
I have the 2015, 2017 and a 2020 and they are pretty much all the same that way. None need a power source for normal workdays, I don't have a camera that needs to have memory cards swapped out, and all presenter displays are either ClickShare or AppleTV and thus wireless. I don't accept random mass storage devices, and for those few times that I do want one I use a multiport adapter which works with both the 2015 and all the newer ones (USB-C and USB-A connectors), which I also use for when WiFi is down and you need Ethernet. It's not much bigger than any Ethernet adapter anyway.
Evidence of what? Don't be vague.

Few on the right pay attention to the Qanon meme. In contrast leftists believ most, if not all, conservatives are rabid Qanon faithful. But Qanon is a myth concocted by the left for the left.

As I've stated earlier, the left simply generates an endless sequence of lies, publishes (or yells them) them awhile and then abandons them when the next lie is concocted for publication or if the lie falls flat in the public eye.

No autopsy, no inquest is ever performed on the left's past outrageous lies. If you ask them about the "Russian conspiracy" they'll ignore you and shout about the rightist "insurrection", their latest meme.

The left is, essentially, a mob:
