Also, the island is so densely populated. It would be hard to see how an invasion would somehow avoid hitting these factories. Strictly trying to avoid hitting them would make them fairly obvious safe harbors from which to launch guerrilla operations.
I recently discovered that systemd supports drop-in config files so I'd recommend putting the changed settings into something like /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/disable-stub.conf. That way your package manager isn't upset that files it controls are modified.

I wrote a personal blog post about this (https://www.turek.dev/posts/disable-systemd-resolved-cleanly...) to try to help people out.
Google showed a self-driving car taking a blind guy through a Taco Bell drive-through. Clearly ready for prime time, probably just a year off.

That video was released on March 28, 2012. Nine years ago in 48 days.

You'd think if it was just a little regulatory red tape a multi-billion dollar corporation or two (or three) would have figured it out in nine years. Maybe its more than just a few rules changes that's keeping truly full self driving carson some very select routes.
I get that breaking split horizon is a real concern, but also I would expect any enterprise deployment using internal DNS resolvers should be able to set up its users' Firefox config to either a) point at an internal DoH server, or b) turn it off?

On one hand, I see the arguments against DoH-by-default -- loss of control, potential for unfixable poor / buggy implementations, requiring trust of third parties... (The trust problem isn't going to be solved any time soon, though.)

It would be nice if implementations just used the discovered DNS server across the board, but DNS servers don't support DoH across the board yet.

On the flip side, I don't see any widespread shifts in this space until a large enough player (in this case, Mozilla) decides to put its thumb on the scale to "encourage" wider adoption. While centralized DoH may be the only game in town today, I would argue that's due to lack of adoption, and I would hope that's not the desired end state.

I forget from what country. Years ago with a bunch of international friends one mentioned you don't really do taxes at all. If you received wages, it is the company's duty to file them and it's done.

Filing taxes does seem complicated here in the U.S. when you may have also other forms of ordinary income. So many rules, forms, etc. I wonder if people use something like TurboTax because they are just not aware how to complete this task, unless, systematically hand held in a way and just walk through getting it done before the deadline.
Although it's cheaper than you'd expect.

> Well, according to www.opensecrets.org, oil, gas and coal companies donated at least $43,000 to Zincke’s campaign. That’s more than 10 percent of Ryan Zincke’s total contributions from Political Action Committees.

https://truthout.org/articles/you-too-can-buy-a-congressman/

I've seen other articles which back this up for other lobbying too: tens of thousands, not millions!
The point is that filing taxes is way easier in many other countries, and TurboTax have lobbied hard to stop any changes to the system like that in the US.

In Australia, you just log on to a portal on the tax office web site and most types of income are already in there, pre-filled. You spend a few minutes putting in any deductions or other income, and then it works out if you're eligible for any credits, offsets etc. and you click 'File'. It's free and doesn't generally take me more than about half an hour per year.
Wait... there are people who interpret this [https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1358319935978496001?s=21] as anything more than a joke?
Fix Realtec Ethernet Driver support?(In response to the title). I have tried to use FreeBSD many times at work, but due to the driver support I cannot. It hangs and fails super often when using a Realtek device. I got to look like a dick during a board meeting trying to show off our throughput when the issue manifested itself for the third time.
It seems to me that CNN accidentally stumbled on to this problem, while when Fox News came along they cynically embraced it as a revenue generator. For CNN it began as a bug, Fox made it a feature.

> You can have fast, efficient JS.

You know... this is true. I know this is true, because we had JS 20+ years ago on Pentium processors. It's possible to write JS that doesn't require multiple cores on a 2019 Ryzen...

But there are also the other sort of sites. You know the ones. Take a stab at which is more prevalent, and receives the majority of ire =[
> The effectiveness against this strain is not 60-80% as it is against the other strains but below 50% which was the standard the WHO chose as a acceptable vaccine.

Just how stupid are we, really? We're all locked up due to a virus that went around the world in months. If there's a variant anywhere that the vaccines don't work on, then this is just a selective breeding program we're setting up. We'll all get the vaccine and then go out and catch the new one because we stopped the quarantine.
Can I hop in one of those geo-fenced cars and have it drive me to Las Vegas? How about staying in state lines, can it drive me to Sacramento? Monterrey? Santa Cruz?
A completely disingenuous bad faith response. Merrick Garland, a VERY close to center moderate, was not EVEN GIVEN A HEARING. Justice Kennedy was, and was confirmed. Tell us all (no one is watching any more) why its "fair" that Garland was not given a hearing. PLEASE.
AWS is really expensive as you scale unfortunately.
None. For the recursive resolver it is effectively the same as a TTL expiration. The next request initiates a recursion which adds a small number of milliseconds to the response time and is recached.
> “He saw there were old World War II teletype machines not being used,” said his daughter. “Another deaf engineer in California had come up with the way to send signals over phone lines. My dad came up with the coupler component the teletype needed. He then pressed Western Union to provide the old machines to deaf people and Bell telephone to use them on their lines.”

Yerba mate tea is stronger than study drugs for me and provides nearly instant high intensity focus. Its not terribly fun or enjoyable, but by far the easiest/cheapest cheat code for productivity. I really only drink it when I need to power through a few hours of something I don't want to do. Tea is $12 for 2lbs, and the cup/straw is about $15.

Similarly, exercise is great for productivity and spending money so that you enjoy it is worth it. Gym membership, bike, weights, etc gives you months or years of productivity boosts.
I have yet to hear any example of good quality voice deepfakes. Every example I've heard so far was completely unconvincing, and absolute trash compared to human impersonators. Speaking of, human voice impersonation has been possible and quite convincing for forever.

Audio deepfakes, when they finally arrive for real, will simply reduce the effort required for voice impersonation. They do not make possible new feats of impersonation that were never possible before. They can still have an effect on society for sure, but I believe the concern is out of proportion with the effect.

The problem is, ironically, that the second best way to prevent migrants from drowning in the Mediterranean is to stop them from crossing.

The first would be to set up ships to help them cross, which obviously isn't going to happen.

So now smugglers and human traffickers have had field days (and years) smuggling people into Europe. All at an extreme cost: migrants are paying through their noses, getting abused along the route and they are drowning in the Mediterranean.

All so Europeans can feel good about helping them instead of starting a massive campaign to inform everyone that:

- immigrants will be flown right back

- money saved will be used to help them where they re (ha ha, not going to happen with the politicians we vote for, but this is what I wish they would do)

Let me be clear: I want to help those people. I'll happily see my taxes raised almost as much as I can bear to see it happen.

We don't talk much about religion here but since this account isn't linked to my identity I'll admit my motives here: I believe in an afterlife, "heaven" to be more precise, and I believe that enjoying life here while not caring about others is a rather effective way to make myself ineligible for that.

However moving everyone to Europe isn't sustainable way of fixing everyones problem, so for now I try to cut my luxuries and spend them on things that can help:

- giving people in developing countries work

- supporting Amnesty International (yes, I'm conflicted about this as they support the migration scam but I love their work in other areas)

- spreading the gospel so more people might start to think like I outline above, hopefully creating a positive feedback loop.
Gosh, Intuit has gone on a total advertising offensive recently! It seems every ad on YouTube nowadays has the same jingle: 'free free freefree freefreefree'. They are advertising their free tax filing service and advisors, which I'm sure everybody here knows is a Trojan horse disguising their lobbying to take away actual free filing provided by the government. Here's the catch: they make it really difficult to use their software for free: you have to have a very specific financial status (under $66k a year in income) and for a long time they just blatantly hid it [1]. Those ads make my blood boil whenever they come up, but the production quality/creativity is Geico-level. They must've spent a lot of money to steer people from the truth...

I would say spend it on Bitcoin, but if you are noob, i’d suggest you read about Bitcoin, you can invest $775 on getting a daily super filtered spreadsheet of what the conversation is about in forums and microblogging sites.

You can sift through these posts and find lots of insights and opportunities to prepare you to invest in Bitcoin.

To make your life easier, i’ve created this spreadsheet and you can have it if you want.
Proclaiming this explicitly and clearly would be nice.

Say, "let's do away with the old Unix ways, and build a new, much better userland!"

People at least would expect the radical change of the direction which is taking place.
Its tax season. Expect it to show up at least 3 times a week till April. Cost of tax filing, cost of internet specially on mobile hurts more than thousands of things that are cheaper in USA.
Because most people like (or at least tolerate) it, but those people are not yapping their mouths about it all the time. IMHO systemd is actually one of the best improvements in the Linux ecosystem in the last 10 years.

Yup. My recent Fedora upgrade broke my internet access due to this change. That was eye-opening, kinda turned me off from Fedora.

This is such a bad decision that it almost disappoints me more than Ubuntu's relentless push of the badly broken and poorly designed Snap ecosystem.

The interesting part of the article is that corona behavior varies that much. It calls into question quarantining while waiting for a vaccine - do we quarantine for the next decade?
Don't just randomly pick numbers for a mac address. Make sure the bit 1 of the leftmost octet is set to 1, which indicates a "locally administered" mac address, and that bit 0 of that same octet is set to zero, which indicates a non-multicast address.
My foot was hurting, so I cut it off and now just walk on my hands.

Which is to say, that's a terribly obtuse way to deal with the problem, and does nothing to keep this kind of abuse from surfacing in other domains.
One of the major points I took away from Lessig’s Republic, Lost is that these campaign donations trackers are unable to factor in the credible threat of a donor funding an opponent.

That's not so uncommon in Singapore (even today that there is definitely less jungle than what I wish there was). Everybody speaks English, but they all carry over their native language phonetics, which is wonderful, especially for the older chinese.

Chinese dialects are tonal, and they somehow manage to carry over the tonality when speaking English, so I had to learn how to pronounce my address in the specific way that taxi driver uncles could understand.

As for me (I'm a Greek), I have found that the most comprehensible English are spoken by Malays and Indonesians, just because their native phonetics somehow happen to match mine.

I especially love the way Indonesians pronounce 'r' - it's a REAL 'r', and it's always a rolling triplet, sounding like "rrr", instead of that thing between "w" and nothingness that English has managed to mutilate a perfectly nice consonant into :D
I've never spent that long in the gym on starting strength.

For beginners i doubt there is much variation in progress from one program to the other, and remember SS is for beginners.

The benefit of SS is its simplicity, 4 basic lifts with simple programming. Beginners benefit from such simplicity.
I don't qualify for "Free File" tax software, but I still file my taxes for free using the IRS forms. It's easy. Yes, it could be easier, and yes, Intuit's tactics are repulsive, but the fact remains that filing individual income taxes is easy and free.

I would not be surprised if articles like these are just another form of PR for tax preparation companies. The goal of these articles seem to be to convince us that taxes are complicated and difficult.
Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21281411
ifconfig en0 | grep ether # one of these will return a MAC address that matches
ifconfig en1 | grep ether # the value you saw when looking for your current
ifconfig en2 | grep ether # mac address.
ifconfig en3 | grep ether # Keep incrementing the `en0` value until you run out of
# devices

I would have solved this by running “ifconfig -a | less” and then typing “/ether”. I’m curious if anyone has a different way of doing it!
Emacs + Org-mode can sort of do this using org-babel. A lot of people use it for literate programming, or even just for documenting their own emacs configuration.

I'm not sure if there's already a plugin or script that can take a selection of files like you mentioned, but it shouldn't be hard to write one either.
Heat transfers through conductive surfaces, convective mediums or radiation. That last is the photoelectric effect. If it's bright on the outside, it's relative internal clock is ticking fast. Nature will always take the easiest path. If slowing down or speeding up it's own relative clock is part of that, it's going to do it. It has no internal mind.

A field is nothing mystical, no cloud of invisible stuff going around. Everything says it's easier to move heat if something is magnetized. What's magnetism? The other side of electricity. Electrical potential transfers. Atoms don't just look at the next atom up, but all around. That's the magnetic field.

What are particles? Anything that absorbs heat without changing external properties. So it doesn't have to be a little grain of sand. Anything that takes heat without moving the thermometer or a higher frequency or voltage. We are in a bath of such photoelectric particles, very different than a bath of material like water or air.

Relative time brings in uncertainty. Nature "goes to the tape" and will change it for the fastest path.

Things can only travel so fast before they are two different things. That's given by latency of electromagnetic radiation, internal state to external properties. That's how we calculate minimal particle size.

Only other room to go is gravity applications, popping something in and out of existence, hitting everything at once. Coherent control of pair production, matter waves at the center of the sun, with one side on earth and the other side the black hole at the center of the milky way come to mind. Effectively we put Earth inside a black hole, have a universe to ourselves, and negate the ethics of all that is and could ever be. But what the hell. I want to be 50 again.

So you have plasma. Hot enough to break internal atomic bonds. And you are flowing that. So conservation of energy. What's push that plasma is not electricity, one particle of electron potential flowing through the plasma. But that electron flowing through another medium, and it's "want of electron" push the plasma indirectly.

Wrote that fast, and concrete. Probably needs help itself, but hope that helps.
I specifically did not speak about kernel services.

I would gladly replace the window manager and the desktop manager in Windows. It is even possible.
I was careful not to include any value judgements in my comment. I simply wanted to lay to rest this "init system" business.

However, you ask a good question. Lots of people do like it, supposedly. But I think there's a large clue to its controversial nature in that people still call it an "init system", and pointing out that it isn't is interpreted by some as an attack.

Basically, it started out as an init system, which was used by Red Hat / Fedora, which was positioned well at a time when certain distros, notably Debian, used crufty SysV init scripts which they wanted to move on from. When Debian adopted systemd, after some debate, every Debian-based distro did too. This wasn't considered a particularly invasive change at the time. But systemd started to expand into its "middleware" position, absorbing vital system functions like udev. Distros which adopted systemd found themselves along for the ride, while distros that didn't increasingly found that software was starting to break, forcing them to maintain forks, or chisel out the piece of systemd that made it work and run it standalone. So was created a network effect that forced even more distros down the path of least resistance into systemd.

Meanwhile, amidst all the grumbling that this bait-and-switch was provoking, the systemd project leaders had an astonishingly bad attitude towards the maintainers of software that they were breaking, which fomented considerable personal animosity on top of the technical resentment. Not only were they driving a horse and cart through the standard ways of doing things, breaking a lot of stuff in the process, they were being rude about it.

So, more or less, people resent systemd because it's difficult to find - or build - a distro without it.
"If any Ubuntu maintainers are listening"....

This is just silly.

Global state is inevitable. If it's not in the environment it would be in the filesystem or the Windows registry.
I didn't get the ZFS complaint either. Countless years of development went into OOP. Lots of great software has been written with it. It's still a buzzword.
That's too simplistic: getting hundreds of thousands of at-risk people mixing with others in order to get a shot of an ineffective vaccine — I imagine the net result wouldn't be saving any lives at a cost of delaying alternative vaccines for these people for longer (I guess interactions between them have been even less tested).
Linux is fragmented in the sense that userland is separate from the kernel.
I swear I've read some version of this headline yearly for at least the past 5 years. They are clearly winning this fight.

Not all of it. As a shareholder, you get access to shareholder meetings (not public), can vote on certain issues raised by the board, etc.
That doesn't make sense.

If one block is 93% blue, the other blocks are going to be more red than blue regardless of how balanced they are.
You're half right, but writing init scripts is by far the easiest part of not running systemd. As a sibling comment lightly puts it - "various shims exist".
If anyone like me is wondering what -fcf-protection=full means: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Instrumentation-Options.h...

Enable code instrumentation of control-flow transfers to increase program security by checking that target addresses of control-flow transfer instructions (such as indirect function call, function return, indirect jump) are valid. This prevents diverting the flow of control to an unexpected target. This is intended to protect against such threats as Return-oriented Programming (ROP), and similarly call/jmp-oriented programming (COP/JOP).
(Kernel person here. I have nothing to do with Ubuntu or gcc, but I can maybe help fix the problem.) It would be great if this came with an explanation of what broke. CET should not break setjmp.
There is a "project" named systemd and an "init system" named systemd, in much the same way that there's the GNU project and GNU-$everything.

Nobody says things like "what is GNU? Is it a kernel, a compiler, a libc, a build system, a set of userspace tools?".

Likewise, the systemd project has many utilities under its umbrella, and most of them are completely optional.
There has also been some controversy from others being unable to replicate her work [1], so this should be taken with a grain of salt.

> He thinks he'd be happy if I was gone and his bio-parents remarried

That is the key. And until he is able to realize that it isn't necessarily true this situation will persist. Keep in mind that his parents may have had a toxic relationship but that he doesn't really see it that way: to him this was the time when his parents were together and he could see both of them, to him you are an obstacle on the way to achieving a re-run of that situation. Little kids are pretty good at knowing what they want, extremely good at being angry at anything and everything and not so good at realizing any of this so you have your work cut out for you.
The idea here is to shift the work to more streamlined systems already ran by businesses instead of relying on individual citizens to figure this all out. Citizens are not equipped with the time and money to deal with these abuses. Large private businesses who are already optimizing these expenses might keep things in check.

It's not a unique idea. In fact, I first heard it from IRS employees themselves.
In any case, whoever succeeds in this, should only do this once (for any particular issue).
