You can very much use solar panels on Mars. There's also a clear advantage that right now, there's nothing on Mars, lots of land to place said solar panels, but IMO, that's not going to be an issue. We will probably master nuclear fission within the next few decades. Lots of progress has been made, and it will solve our energy needs. What if we run out of deuterium or tritium? Not a problem, by that time, in a few centuries, we'll likely be able to build bigger, better reactors that can fuse "normal" hydrogen and maybe even helium.

As for the great filter, I've always thought that the real danger is something that would cause say, one person, to have an outsized destructive power. Imagine if we successfully invent nanobots that can self-replicate, for example, and anyone with the right set of skills could program them. In that scenario, it's within the capability of any individual to create a deadly disease. You just need one unhinged person to trigger a horrible disaster. Nanotech could be much more dangerous than nukes, and if you combine strong AI and nanotech, I could see that being an immense survival risk.
>and then execute them (because it may asychronously loads further scripts whith are required to load the content). And then wait for it all to execute.

not to mention potentially rewrite the executable code to still work on the archive copy, or potentially end up with a copy where all clickable links are broken depending on the specifics (and sometimes also content further down the page if scrolling triggers dynamic loading). And if the site doesn't update the URLs to be unique for each "page", well good luck finding that dynamically loaded content in the archive at all to begin with.
Do you have a MS? If you were interested in government cybersecurity work, you could do something like SFS (https://www.sfs.opm.gov/) and get a MS with a pretty much guaranteed gov't job at the end of it. It's also a good program if you want to get working for FFRDC's.

edit: They also give a ~$25k-$35k stipend plus tuition, security certs, books, etc. It's a pretty solid deal IMO.

Ask HN: Job seekers – how are you coping?
I've noticed there are a lot of people on HN who are currently seeking a job and having a hell of a time with it.

How are you coping?

If someone offered you something to dramatically help you right now, what would it be?
And I’m tired of seeing people worship private entities whose entire success story is dependent entirely on government work. Not just funding, but work (e.g. past research).

A business that lives only with government support is a de facto government entity.

Sorry that facts offend you.
> education and training is often the only real solution

No. That is never the real solution. At best it is a necessary evil, but generally resorting to this is a reflection of a failure of imagination.

The reverse authentication problem in particular is easily solved by the right UI design plus some improved infrastructure behind the scenes. Certificate pinning, for example, would help a lot. The hard part is not coming up with a solution, or even implementing it, but convincing everyone to adopt the solution because it doesn't help unless it is widely deployed.
I think mini/micro LED displays are the future of making something like that work without burn in issues. They are small and flat enough that you could fit in whatever key you want to. There will be a lot more wires involved although, as each key cap will have a mini display in them in front of the switch, and I'd worry about that wire eventually breaking from the constant moving of that wire inside the keyboard key.
HN gets frothing mad about javascript, and to some extent I agree: sites that are fundamentally about content (news websites, blogs, etc.) should not be locked behind JS gates. The amount of code bloat on those pages tends to be related to tracking and advertising, so not running JS on those pages makes sense.

On the other hand, web applications that provide full-featured experiences are only possible because of the full spectrum of web technologies. Choosing not to run JS and claiming that Google Docs should work without JS is ridiculous.

Exactly! Even for free market believers, ads are just a way of manipulating consumers so that they are less rational, and so they are a distortion of the market (in favor of the biggest players, of course, as they can spend the most on advertising).
Why is it "oversimplification"? In the long run, it's true.

If it's not a charity, _you_ will be bearing the cost, one way or another. Your attention will be sold to other people. So yes, you are the product.

> may actually be an early hominid that had ape-like features, that lived in parallel with humans in different territory.

Perhaps, but it's impossible to prove one way or another. More plausibly, they observed that primates possess a type of intelligence of a kind similar to humans, and therefore were readily adaptable to that role in the story.

What we do know is that fantastical characters with human level sentience in the Ramayana exist primarily to engage the audience and to drive forward the epic's central themes of good vs evil. Fantastical creatures are a pattern of this sort of storytelling across the world. Modern storytellers have used the same technique to great effect, like the various species of JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth or George Lucas's Galaxy Far Far Away.

In this way, there is a striking contrast between the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The Mahabharata, despite emerging from the same cultural milieu as the Ramayana, is a complex human sociological drama without clear lines of good and evil. It makes little use of fantastical species, as their presence would detract from the story's fundamentally human themes. The only non human characters of consequence are gods, but even they are far from perfect and instead exhibit the same flaws as the humans.
AI Machine Learning Used to Predict Psychosis
Phishing has been commoditised, the criminals don't write their own pages anymore.

In fact the phishing toolkits have been doing TOTP passthrough/relay for a few years now. For the attacker, it's a nice feature: victim could be using SMS, authenticator app or even an out-of-band delivered token book - they are all captured and passed along equally well.

U2F and FIDO2 with hardware keys are the only realistic safeguards. On the other hand, I do subscribe to the stated problem, because for most people they are a usability snag. The NFC variant has the potential to address this, though: instead of plugging a key in and touching the blinky button, you just wave your keyring next to the device. Too bad NFC readers are not universally available on phones, tablets or laptops.
Some are helpfully pointing out here that the web is now used for both A) content delivery and B) app delivery, and the B parts are hard to do w/o JS.

I tend to browse with JS disabled as a default (images too, that's another conversation maybe), and for sites that are really important to me, I enable it in browser settings, just for that site (sometimes temporarily, depending). I leave a couple of tabs open that I can get to very quickly for that purpose, but fortunately most of the time I can ignore sites that require JS.

Reasons include speed, convenience, and security. (I also do most browsing in separate user accounts, depending on the security level of what I am doing, and what other data that account handles.)

Edit: Sometimes for those same reasons, or for automation purposes of some tasks (like checking a particular page for a certain fact that I want to act on when it changes, such as some security updates), it's nice to be able to use text browsers like links (or wget & curl) too, and have the info available w/o requiring JS for it.
Whatever it will be, it won't be bitcoin. Two days ago the -average- transaction cost $16 USD and the throughput is only a few transactions per second. Etherium already has three times the transaction throughput of bitcoin. There is no technical reason it has to be this way, it was acknowledged that the temporary block size limit needed to be increased over seven years ago, but it was kept tiny to push an unnecessary secondary layer.
I've used it on Windows before and I think I know what you're talking about. However, right now I'm using it on macOS actually, the mac-port to be more specific.
What inevitably happens with your approach is that people will soon gradually feel forced into taking part in bar meetings, else their "rapport" would be affected, which would have further detrimental effects down their career at that place. Hence people get herded into team building exercises for the group against their will, even though they might have zero interest or capability in such exercises. This leads to the cargoculting mentioned in the previous comment.

Sure, it's good to find and pick up $5 on the street, but in this case it will inevitably lead to a place where people have to rely on finding money on the ground.

The previous user said that you can do "literally anything" in VSCode that you can do in Emacs, I think these examples were chosen to prove that statement wrong. It doesn't mean that Emacs is better for everyone.

Only available resources, modern IDEs are like hardware vendors wet dream came true.
If someone wrote a review on a book on Python, with the following statement: "as any algol-derived language, Python has array indexes start at 1", this would be false on 2 accounts and a significant tell on one.

Falsity 1: Not all algol-derived languages have arrays start at 1.
Falsity 2: Python has indexes zero-based.
Tell : the person has not programmed in Python enough to have even basic experience such as familiarity with off-by-one errors and array basics. Although entitled to their own opinions, they should not be doing a review on the topic.
(We leave out the complexity of lists / arrays being available in Python, NumPy etc from this discussion).

Such a statement in a programming book review would be quickly called out by the programming community a) because it is false and b) potentially harmful information (for new-comers).

Despite some opinions that literature, literature analysis and criticism are artsy-fartsy hand-wavy activities, there is significant rigor involved in studying literature seriously.This, as I wrote, involves character analysis.

If the guardian reviewer, or whoever made the surname mistake, had done literature studies involving Russian literature, they would be aware of the surname usage specifics.

It is as big a tell as the above programming example. It has nothing to do with being able to speak Russian. As I wrote, it is a common topic of interest to readers of Russian literature in translation.

I have participated in multiple book-clubs and was briefly a TA on a Russian literature class (taught in English). We had a hand-out, updated from the 60s, on the topic, as it almost always got brought up by attentive readers.
An interesting thing I've noted on disabling personalized advertisements: My SO, who has personalized ads on and lives in the same household, sees ads based on my behaviour. So the ads aren't personalized to me, but they certainly are to my SO.
People saying certs aren't worth it are only looking at half the picture. EVERYONE knows most certs suck, and the few that are good are drowned out by the volume of half ass shitty certs that are just money grabs.

But certs are an unfortunate necessity in a world where fresh college graduates without a days worth of experience in IT or Security are pre-filtering resumes. Certs ARE worth it, to get past HR. I always tell everyone who wants to get into security that the first infosec job is the hardest to get, and for that, you need to play the HR game, and that means a couple certs. You need to sit down in front of the hiring manager for an interview to get the job, your hiring manager will know your cert means nothing, almost guaranteed he never even asks you about any of them.

Your resume means everything to get in front of the manager, then your resume means jack shit to the manager. It is stupid, but is the world we live in.

You can get hired into infosec without the certs though, and that's know the hiring manager or know someone on the team you are applying for. Hiring managers can tell HR "I want to interview Joe Somebody, he said he will apply this week", and in security, id say more than 50% of the hires are indeed that. So to do this, go to the local professional meetups that meet monthly, go out for beers with the people, go to the local conferences and make friends with many people already in the industry, maybe do a talk at the meetups or local conference. Then when a position opens up at a place where there is someone you know, you now can get an interview.

But you really should be doing both at once. Most competent developers or IT people can pass Sec+ blindfolded, you most certainly do not have to take the class, at MOST skim the study guide book once, and your almost guaranteed to pass. It is a joke, everyone in the industry knows it, yet if you could dramatically increase your chances of getting an interview while you are taking the time to develop those relationships, what idiot wouldn't?
Maybe there are other traditions where these stars are geese or brothers or villages or starbucks baristas but the authors are cherry-picking those cultures where they are women? Indeed, I would be surprised if there weren’t, and if there really are no other such stories then I would be surprised that the authors don’t mention that explicitly since that would be give enormous weight to their position.

Also, TFA only says that the aboriginal stories seem to predate European contact, but which is more plausible: that we found a story that is ten times older than the oldest previously reconstructed myth or that we were wrong and the aboriginal story is actually influenced directly or transitively by some European culture (or some other culture which had a similar myth)? This depends on the evidence back the “seems to predate European contact” claim.

There is nothing your client can do (other than blocking ads entirely) that would stop a company from serving you car ads on a car site - that's contextual ads.

Personalized ads are the opposite - you're browsing a fashion site, but you'll get car commercials because you've been visiting car commercials lately.

I would also think that no one even cares to write an email client or a window manager inside an IDE even if that is possible (it probably is).
I understand what you're saying but I don't know if calling it vendor lock in is quite correct. You can export your list of messages out of Signal and presumably import them to whenever you motivated to do so. Your friends could then join you on the new service and life would continue on.

I am personally unaware of any communication service with a universally portable user identifier and that allows you to freely switch upstream providers other than phone service. I think this what you're talking about?

From which text is this? If you are well versed in Arabic star lore, then I would be interested to discuss with you.
Perhaps it was simpler to not import all those problems in the first place. A website that shows content is not an app, and shouldn't pay all the complexity cost.
> For that size screen, yes. I think roughly $1-3/screen for that size is good.

That's just unrealistic. Similar LCD screen is also $20: https://www.adafruit.com/product/358

If you negotiate directly with manufacturers, or order direct from china, I'm certain both of these would be much cheaper, but I'm talking about US retail prices and how LCD and E-Ink are very similarly priced at this level.

> but that’s not where I would source parts for a project unless they had something truly unique

I can link you to other retailers who charge very similar prices. Direct from china is different, and similarly, you can find these e-ink displays for cheaper on aliexpress and similar. That's irrelevant to the discussion.

$20 is fine for this. We're not (as far as I'm aware) talking about someone making a product to sell in bulk on kickstarter. We're talking about buying one to use at home.

really just a baseline of functionality IMO. I don't expect a spreadsheet app or game, or what have you to actually work without javascript, but if the page has the purpose of displaying data, I would expect it to at least offer that, even if in a "lesser" form. These days pages that are nothing but images and text just throw blank screens without javascript.
Yes, why not look on their website? They also have S3-compatible storage and a managed Kubernetes product. https://www.digitalocean.com/products/managed-databases/

1. Saving customizations didn't work.

2. Launching Emacs as a client that auto-launches a server _always_ failed the first time.

3. I really don't need a custom package manager built on top of another custom package manager to replace the core package manager. straight.el would've been enough, thanks.

4. My batteries-included Emacs launches a server in a few seconds, a client almost instantaneously; doom took minutes to launch a server on my Pinebook Pro and clients took a few seconds.

5. Another needless dotfile dir in my home. ~/.doom.d could easily have been ~/.emacs.d/doom.d

Thank you for this answer, I'll study it carefully. Sorry I didn't thank you earlier for your answer, but with kids it's very busy.
Scientific observation has ruled out the Big Crunch. The Big Rip happens in the remote future if the equation of state parameter w is less than -1, where w is the ratio of dark energy pressure to its energy density. If this is true it is only a minor detail of the Heat Death as far as life within this universe is concerned: all biological life and biological consciousness will end whether the Big Rip happens before the Heat Death or does not happen. (If there is non-biological Life after Death as various religions maintain, then consciousness will survive the Heat Death, but otherwise it will not.) The Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) of Penrose is speculative and has zero strong empirical evidence to support it. They've studied the CMB but it has made no testable and verifiable predictions. The astrophysics community at large sees the observational inevitability of the end of the universe as we know it: the universe is flying apart and cooling, and nothing can change this.
I am guessing but since this is for pricing and risk, it's a very different game from trading.
In this particular situation they prefer to have a reliable piece of software that is shared and used by all.
Just guessing.
The benefit of running Signal on F-Droid is its secure update mechanism.

Do you really think a homebrewed self-update mechanism is superior to the battle tested F-Droid?

Moxie has a complete stranglehold on the Signal system. You are completely at his mercy for all decisions affecting the platform

See:

https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37#issueco...

The solution is federation, like email has always been.

There are a couple of ways to solve this problem, which can be used in tandem. We can stop Signal from knowing when we’re talking to each other by using peer-to-peer chats. This has some significant drawbacks, namely that both users have to be online at the same time for their messages to be delivered to each other. You can still fall back to peer-to-server-to-peer when one peer is offline, however. But this isn’t the most important of the two solutions.

The most important change is federation. Federated services are like email, in that Alice can send an email from gmail.com to Bob’s yahoo.com address. I should be able to stand up a Signal server, on my own hardware where I am in control of the logs, and communicate freely with other Signal servers, including Open Whisper’s servers. This distributes the security risks across hundreds of operators in many countries with various data extradition laws. This turns what would today be easy for the United States government to break and makes it much, much more difficult. Federation would also open the possibility for bridging the gap with several other open source secure chat platforms to all talk on the same federated network - which would spurn competition and be a great move for users of all chat platforms.

Moxie forbids you from distributing branded builds of the Signal app, and if you rebrand he forbids you from using the official Open Whisper servers. Because his servers don’t federate, that means that users of Signal forks cannot talk to Signal users. This is a truly genius move. No fork of Signal4 to date has ever gained any traction, and never will, because you can’t talk to any Signal users with them. In fact, there are no third-party applications which can interact with Signal users in any way. Moxie can write as many blog posts which appeal to wispy ideals and “moving ecosystems” as he wants5, but those are all really convenient excuses for an argument which allows him to design systems which serve his own interests
and then they spend the next year migrating to a "more realistic" deployment or burn half their money on cloud computing.
