You might want to be a bit more specific than computer networks. Monitor/ promiscuous mode is a thing, and so is dropping packets. It's not much use outside of wifi anymore, but there's still a few dumb hubs around.
Don’t. I don’t think anyone should attempt to get into security, or at least work in a security team.

First, in many stages, a company needs to move fast. This is not a cliche, if you do not move fast you die. This is what a start up is about. Even as a small business trying to grow, you might often be in a position where you constantly need new prospects, new cash flows, etc. Security is inherently about moving slow, and about friction. This is why security is badly seen by management, and it is badly seen by developers and site reliability engineers. The less you work, the happier people will be around you.

Because of that, being in a security team is often an unrewarding job where you’re moving against the courant. Your team is often understaffed, because again, you’re not producing clear value, so the overton window is shifting against you. You’re outnumbered after all, so most of what you say is unreasonable, and perhaps you team and you start forming an “us against them” mindset, as other teams are doing the same with you.

The job is also not that interesting to be honest, you spend more time reading docs and attending meetings trying to keep up, as well as trying to create connections, as your job is to cover as much ground as possible as well as creating connections so that you can convince and delegate better.

Now consider that kinetic energy increases with the square of velocity.

Going from 60mph to 80mph may save some time on a really long road trip but increases the energy you'll feel in a crash by 77%
I don't see how this is possible unless either the corps become the government or the corps have their own military.

Worldwide, the sort of divisions where one's own side is all good and the other side is unspeakably evil, are on the upswing again. Having lived through a full cycle of this (old style cold war/thaw/current situation) I try to remind people that we're all humans, and about 99% everywhere have the same instincts to survive and get along. Not everyone listens.
IIRC, this could not happen today, as the concentration of U235 in natural uranium has decreased (by decay) to the point where there's not enough for a chain reaction to be sustained with any naturally-occurring moderator.

Some of the mined uranium was found to have a lower concentration of uranium-235 than expected, as if it had already been in a reactor. When geologists investigated they also found products typical of a reactor. They concluded that the deposit had been in a reactor: a natural nuclear fission reactor, around 1.8 to 1.7 billion years BP – in the Paleoproterozoic Era during Precambrian times. At that time the natural uranium had a concentration of about 3% 235U, and could have reached criticality with natural water as neutron moderator allowed by the special geometry of the deposit.

It sputtered on and off for hundreds of thousands of years:

There's a line somewhere where the sport does become wrong IMO. For a different example, dog shows have selected for objectively unhealthy genes (see sloped back & hip dysplasia).

It would be neat to see some sort of blend of function and form scoring. Look ripped, but put those muscles to work as well. Bodybuilding & weightlifting meets gymnastics. The need to perform athletically puts on some guardrails- less starving & dehydrating yourself, for example.
My favourite apple were Elstar. Why past tense? The were small, had an amazing rich aroma, a slight hint of acidity and were very refreshing. The apples nowadays sold under that name are roughly 50% bigger, colours are the same but the taste is like 20% of the old ones.

An apt comparison would be the small strawberries you have to pick yourself in the woods (or my parents garden) with that intense exploding flavour, compared to those tasteless zeppelins you can buy in shops.

This isn’t true with respect to rugby union.

In the Australian side one of the most impressive and key players is Nic White at 84kg and 173cm.
Heck, one of the best NZ players of all time, Dan Carter, is 178cm and 94kg.

There are many positions and they require vastly different physiques.

When the pandemic is over, we have Berghain left and what else?
The UK is showing decreasing deaths from Coronavirus while excess deaths (deaths over the baseline level of expected deaths not attributable to Covid, which are usually very steady) have gone up by more than half the supposed Covid decrease. Simultaneous with the rollout of the Astra Zeneca vaccine, the UK has had a new very stringent lockdown. The actual decrease, net of excess deaths does not seem any more than one would have expected from the new lockdown.

25% of the participants in the Pfizer and Moderna trials were over 65, 40% over 55, according your citations. 0 over 65 in the Astra Zeneca. There weren't enough over 65s and certainly not enough over 75s to come up with confidence intervals as tight as one would like in those subgroups for Pfizer/Moderna. Remember it's hard to recruit older participants because they often have co-morbidities that can cause all kinds of problems when you analyze the data. That's very different from Astra Zeneca. In particular, it's bad because the Astra Zeneca did actually recruit over 65s for the treatment groups. They just chose not to release that data while retaining some over 65s in the control.

This AM South Africa suspended use of the Astra Zeneca vaccine because data collected by South African authorities found it wasn't effective. It's being spun as it's not effective enough against the new strain. I suspect given a few months, we will find the vaccine doesn't work against any strain.
Are you being intentionally obtuse just to get a fight going, or you really do not understand what "I truly believe most Americans would not hoard masks if they were asked to" means? In case of the later, it means that I truly believe most, but not all, Americans would do the right thing and the nation would be able to handle the few sociopaths that who would indeed hoard.

That's interesting. I know there's no reference for it being ECC, but do you know for sure it's not ECC?

Since the RAM is packaged into the SOC, and these chips are probably going to be scaled up to high-end workstations, I thought Apple might have done something about ECC memory.

Depends on the market rate for their skills. In this case, yes, depending on where they will be expected to live a barely six digit salary could be low.
Communist party/politics aside, I agree that the beginning of the book had seriously next-level sci-fi creativity, but the last third of the book really rushed the plot. 3bp also would've benefitted from a smaller cast with more character development. Still, great material overall. Can't wait to see an eventual 3bp movie.

My observations of people is that some forms of abstraction don't click with some people. What if there are 25 or 50 types of abstraction we need to master in order to be really high IQ? That would look a lot like PGs blub, and variations in which types individuals grasp could explain the distribution of IQ.

Makes me wonder what it's like to be both smarter and less smart than I am. What pieces am I missing? What advantages do I have?
They want to lower those satellites to ~550km which seems to me to be significantly less likely to leave space junk around.
> No, GM incentives.

Hmm, I hadn't realized they were out of government subs. That explains why they are discounting them so deeply. My local dealer has them down to $29k which is tempting, but it would be hard to drop that kind of cash on a car I think is ugly (I know appearance is subjective so YMMV). For the price, dropping a few grand extra to get the spunkier Model 3 with the Supercharger network seems like a no-brainer.
I don’t believe war requires hatred, no more than sport. Some people wind up in war through machinations that have nothing to do with even the acknowledgment of the enemy’s existence.

>while Pratt spent nearly 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, for over 6 months on cardio activities to cut weight for the first Guardians movie (as he already had the muscle for the character underneath his excess bulk and just needed to reveal them).

The problem is that they tell these stories, and people believe it. If he had really done six hours of cardio per day he'd likely disappear and have no muscle.

Diet and exercise is, make no mistake, a huge part of it - all of that has to be on point. The reality very much involves manipulating hormones, and that means steroids, growth hormone, etc.
0.3% fee/trade for Uniswap. As it's an atomic transaction, yearly interest rate has no meaning actually.
In this setup, would you pay for another car after not getting a return on your first spend? The problem is the incentives. Humans do what they are incentivized to do, largely. What about an $1800-a-night escort that decides she isn't interested in having sex with her customer? She isn't a prostitute, she can choose... but certainly if she exercises that choice she won't have many repeat customers, and if word gets around she won't find many clients at all.
I guess such pseudogoverments would quickly reduce to scientology-like cults.
Learning exploit dev and vulnerability research on browsers and operating systems (like Project Zero’s work) is really difficult, and ends up being mostly self-taught. One good entry point into this role for people early in their career, though, is NSA’s development programs, especially CNODP and C2DP.
An opponent being able to remove one of your lands with small creature removal or any ping effect or -1/-1 counter is scary.

It sees play (I think) in Legacy and Commander where there are a bunch of specific powerful ways to abuse it (e.g., combo off early with Arbor + Gaea's Cradle to generate a bunch of mana), but you're not going to pull that off often in cube, so it would mostly be a basic forest that your opponent can easily remove.
The failsafe is supposed to be US news orgs, who's reason for existing is to be an adversary to power interests. The top of their priority list ought to be exposing bribery in a meaningful and consistent way.

Not to me - as you can see from the sentence you quoted - but for the people being hired and in context of the other organisations that are offering them jobs.

For the people running an organisation the size and importance of wikipedia? 6 figures is a laughable minimum. The legal and social responsibility, the vast and varied expertise required, the personal social networks you put on the line. We need the best people in those jobs to keep that organisation existing at all, let alone functioning at the level is has and does. Recruiting those people is competing against the rest of the world to hire them, and they are already taking a huge cut in remuneration because they want to do good.

It might be tone deaf they way they did it but it is a real problem.

I've nothing against small groups doing a bit of guerrilla marketing, like one that showed up in a post share earlier this weekend along the lines of: "this program is shared under thr MIT and the GPL license but with the social expectation <something something>".

If we want to release out main product as open source we cannot expect to become wildly profitable, but at the same time we as developers should get better at advocating for such projects with our managers and our customers.

I often do that when there is something the company I work for need and depend on: I look for support contracts etc. Usually this works great, once devs ignored me and changed the rules after we signed up (handsontable I think), which is of course annoying.
The scope of the problem is huge. Oxygen can enter from a highly elaborate network of abandoned mines and boreholes that stretch for miles, as well as any number of surface fissures. As far as the coal component, keep in mind that this region has the highest concentration of anthracite in the world.

ECC memory would be 144-bit or 160-bit.
> The audio stack on Unix is easily in my top three pet peeves of the desktop environment. It feels like a huge case of too many cooks in the kitchen.

This is also my opinion, which is why I was surprised by the conclusion of the article. Money quote:

> The audio stack is fragmented on all operating systems because the problem is a large one. [...] The stack of commercial operating systems are not actually better or simpler. [...] Linux is the platform of choice for audio and acoustic research and was chosen by the CCRMA (Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics).

I guess my gripe is this disconnect between "desktop audio" and "pro audio". I have my PulseAudio set up the way I want it, and that's what I need 99% of the time, but I would like to use Ardour when I want to record a podcast, but whenever I read the Arch wiki about how to have PulseAudio and JACK coexist, it looks like a huge mess that I don't want to deal with. Here's hoping PipeWire really shapes up to be my savior one day.
Woah, I didn't remember that XKCD called iOS and OSX combining.
Ask HN: What is the best way to spend $1000 to improve your productivity?
Most of us have been working at home for a year, I am curious what you all have invested in to improve your productivity on a budget.

For example I bought Airpod pros ($199), which made it more convenient to do more meetings walking around outside, which has helped me get more exercise and has helped my focus. I also bought a stack of spiral notebooks for $11.99 so I could easily sketch out ideas. If my budget was $1000 that would leave me ~$775, how should I invest the remaining balance to enhancing my own productivity?
Which is infuriating because people would happily pay even a fairly premium price I suspect for good access to that archive, but of course Google can't just sell a good product for a reasonable price, it has to be FREE******.

Ah, I wish I'd have had this article back when getting working Audio on Linux was an uphill struggle. Even knowing what to Google was a challenge. Those times when things would all be working and then you reboot and now nothing works, or getting to the end of an MP3 (played in XMMS, of course) and then hearing 25 queued-up Gaim notifications.

Thankfully, the last ten years have been plain sailing. It just works. Oh, except that on Gnome the volume remote half way up my headphones cable adjusts the Pulse Audio master level rather than the volume of the headphones themselves, but I can live with that.
> I just suspect that people who advocate for modal editing and hjkl etc. think that those things are some grand UX secret that only real nerds know about. But really they are just artifacts of that particular historical circumstance.

while it's true that it was born of historical necessity and the decisions for it were partly due to keyboard constraints and the other constraints, I disagree vehemently with the assertion that it's not a more efficient way to edit code. writing a screenplay? maybe not but programming? yes... especially in the context of a larger ide.
It's not weird at all. Soldiers on opposite sides have a lot in common, just as you might have a lot in common with someone of your profession from a different country. Their conflict is that of their respective countries, or they may think they're serving a good cause. But in either case, it's not personal.

It's also a mistake to think that every time a soldier shows an ounce of humanity, they're only doing it to "help their conscience". Soldiers are usually not the tortured individuals Hollywood portrays them to be. Why should these two men's consciences bother them? NATO troops thought they were defending the oppressed, and Serbian troops thought they were defending their sovereignty.
I do think veggie burgers are kind of silly, but this is much sillier.

That does not give much idea of what her bikiny look was like. I was curious about that too, it is very focus of article, but it is described be words only and hard to imagine.
Ehh, it's actually a topic for a yet-unfinished article of mine, but note that I pointed that "us-east-1 lambda service" is still a pet.

In the case you described, whatever drives the replacement system is the pet - the so-called cattle are just "components" that became interchangeable for the bigger "pet" system. As another commented called it, you need good names at the edge - where the edge for me is the level where you care about the system. We used to care about individual components of a computer and those would be effectively "pets" of the time. Nowadays, you do not give name to a DIMM in your server nor take extra care to ensure it works. And so on, till you reach the level you actually have to care, and that's where you need to name it (IMO) because that's your pet, even if it's composed of what people call cattle.

As for hostnames matching functions - I found much more use when making hostnames reflect basic type of hw and physical location, and would keep the name as long as the location didn't change. The rest depended on what functions were currently applied to the machine.
Sure. The drawback of too many people going to college is more knowledge in the world. What’s the drawback of people taking roids for years on end?
You can just read the page linked in the GP about gun spending. It's exceedingly obvious that they have a strong viewpoint on the issue.
> 3bp also would've benefitted from a smaller cast with more character development.

Maybe it was because of my non familiarity with Chinese names or lack of detail to a lot of characters, that I had to constantly look back to see names if they appeared again after a while. I am not sure why this happened as I have read Manga or Manhwa in the past and have been able to hold a lot more characters in memory.

Combat SPORTS (MMA, Wrestling, BJJ, Judo, Sambo etc...) aren't games. You don't play Wrestling for example. That is an exceedingly narrow definition of sport and one that I think does a large disservice to Athletes.
Imagine if a service like this existed. Meaning: a service that would allow you to collect all this data, without any effort.

It's doable. It could be an app on your phone. Properly done, it would be amazing.

US citizens gain benefits from the US government by definition, and they have the ability to give up their citizenship if they don't want that. The reason they're taxed is that they are actually subjecting themselves to US jurisdiction, in addition to the jurisdiction of whatever country they're physically in. (For instance, they can choose to leave the country they're currently in and be allowed visa-free entry to any country that permits visa-free entry to US citizens, and of course they can choose to return to the US.)

The Double Irish involves a company in non-Ireland country A doing business with a customer in non-Ireland country B, and routing that transaction through Ireland. I have no issue with either A or B deciding that they ought to tax this transaction, because both countries are relevant.

So does that make them more or less inclined to eat if?
Not really, I would think. You'd lose most of the advantage. Box86's trick is to intercept x86 system and library calls, and invoke the native ARM equivalent.

Symbian, as a different underlying operating system, has no native ARM equivalents of the various x86 Linux system calls and common libraries. So you'd have to emulate those somehow, perhaps by translating them into Symbian-appropriate calls.

Speaking more generally, a JIT translator would otherwise be relatively easy to port as a straight C or C++ library.
