>"Everybody is talking about clock accuracy and totally missing that devices in the middle of the network path do not care about responding quickly to pings. Middle devices are generally routers or firewalls, and their job is to route and firewall, not to respond to a packet as quickly as it comes in."

That's not correct. A box in the middle of the network path by definition doesn't respond at all to the ping request since it's not addressed to them. It's simply forwards the IP packet that encapsulates the ICMP echo request towards its destination. As forwarding happens in the data plane this doesn't involve the control plane at all. A router with no QoS will forward IP datagrams at the same rate whether they encapsulate TCP, UDP or ICMP.

I have also seen something similar at Surfside Beach, SC. I was in a hot tub, star gazing, and watched what I thought to be a satellite actually intersect another object and make a sharp 90 degree turn before disappearing. Still no idea what it was to this day!
Realtek drivers on Linux, at least for some codecs, have this feature built-in, no malware needed. On my Dell XPS 13 9350, for example, I can use alsamixer or pavucontrol to choose between "Internal Mic," "Headset Mic," and "Headphone Mic."

The "Headphone Mic" setting is designed for connecting a microphone to the single multi-purpose 3.5mm jack, but it can also record audio from a pair of headphones just fine if you turn the gain up.

> Yes, I did use the word, in this context: A student asked me if I thought her high school’s administration was right to suspend a classmate of hers for using the word in a video she’d made in eighth grade. I said “Did she actually call someone a “(offending word”? Or was she singing a rap song or quoting a book title or something?”

So he was asking a student if they had said the "evil word"... He wasn't calling anyone that, he was basically repeating it to ask the question. And they fired him for that?

Honestly, I'm a massive proponent of social progression. But this seems like 'cancel culture' obsession going way too far.
The post explained the problem with getting deposits back very clearly:

> This is because apartments at both of these levels quite accurately assume that you can’t afford a lawyer - while it’s normal to put down a month or two worth of rent as a security deposit, it’s much less normal to get it back; the apartment complex has no reason to give back thousands of dollars they can simply keep.

When you were younger, were you (or your parents) able to afford a lawyer? Even if you couldn't, did you at least look or sound like you could? You seem to assume that this person has the same tools available to them that you do, and maybe that's the assumption the post is trying to get you to revisit.
I don't see a need to whitewash Nvidia here. They are nasty lock-in proponents. That doesn't mean AMD and Intel shouldn't invest more in improving the software side of things. Which I think they are doing (like the actual post example), so it should be getting better.
[1] 1992. I was extremely young, so I can't recall anything other than the location. In my adulthood, I can lookup the exact GPS coordinates. For privacy reasons, I'll say "Downeast Maine". It was about 1.5 hrs after sunset and I wasn't in bed, but it was dark, so I'd like to guess either the spring or fall - neither winter nor summer. I was old enough to know that you should note the change in perceived speed. It's note-worthy that Downeast Maine was not terribly far from Loring Airforce Base, which was still operating in those days.

[2] March 2018, at approximately 8:30-9pm. Again, I don't recall the exact date or time, (I should have written it down immediately), but we were outside Borrego Springs, California approximately 100 miles east of San Diego. San Diego is also very close to a lot of Military bases.

Isn't that a distinction without a difference? You might as well say that light travels infinitely quickly in the other direction and at c/2 in the first direction - there's no measurable difference between the two cases.

There's no observable anisotropy to spacetime, so I think it makes the most sense to treat the speed of light as the same in all directions.

> Why don't we discuss the core issue at hand, instead of trying to derail the discussion using "Cancel Culture" battlecries?

Perhaps because, to have a discussion, one has to have good-faith actors on both sides of the discussion? If one goes into the discussion with 'I'm going to stop playing sports for you if you DON'T stop playing this song' or 'I'm going to stop donating to athletics if you DO stop playing this song,' then there's no discussion to be had--we're merely down to which entrenched party has more power and sway.

While I see the merits of both sides in this debate, what's remarkable is how administrations at UT and most every other liberal arts college in the US have jettisoned their responsibilities as adults (and supposed intellectuals) to lead their students in the art of discussion over controversial issues. Especially when (1) that's what they're there for and (2) they hold most of the cards. This failure on their part is far worse than some squabble over a silly song.
Routine things like what happens when payments get missed is usually automated.

AWS Developer Tools | Seattle, NYC, DC | Senior Engineer/Developer | Full-Time | https://aws.amazon.com/products/developer-tools/

[Note on Location: The team is remote now but there will be an expectation of being able to work onsite in one of the three cities above. However, the team is currently distributed and virtual and will be for many, many months.]

AWS Dev Tools builds the tools that we all use for software development and CI/CD ... at least some of them :-). I'm leading a team of passionate developers trying to re-invent how we create, release, and iterate on software quickly and safely. We are specifically focused on integrations with other tools like Jira, GitLab, GitHub, BitBucket, etc...

We're looking for a senior/lead engineer to help build this out! If you have an interest in how developers work with different languages (Python, Go, Java, Node, etc...), different platforms (Linux, iOS/Android, MacOS, Web Apps), different workflow tools (JIRA, Circle CI, Pivotal Tracker, etc...), and different organizations (startups, enterprises, governments, universities), I'd like to hear from you.

I come from a startup background and the rest of the team is made of people with varied skills - you will learn ALOT here.

8+ years of professional experience are required for this senior role.

Email me (Adam) and cc Leah a resume or profile if you'd like to find out more about what we're doing and are interested in joining: adnelso @at amazon.com and leahfitz @at amazon.com
Is it possible that you witnessed a collision? I don't recall having seen what appeared to be an intersection. But if it was a satellite, then it's possible that there was a second one up there that wasn't angled correctly to reflect light and be seen from the ground - maybe I witnessed a collision, in which only 1 of the 2 objects was angled/big-enough to be visible? Do others on HN know how often collisions occur?

Edit: Did both objects change direction, or just 1 of the 2?
Yeah they said concrete would end homelessness. It's not a technical problem, it's a people problem. Places that allow and encourage lots of dense, walk-able construction (like where I live) have low rent, places that don't do this have high rent no matter how cheap construction materials are.
This is hardly a realistic take. Claiming white women are drinking from some firehouse of 100% privilege is provably false with even low effort research. Claiming Black folks suddenly have some strange privilege is also probably false, and though the article doesn't mention it, I'd be willing to bet most of the people casting stones in this story are white.

> 'I'm going to stop playing sports for you if you DON'T stop playing this song'

How about "I don't like that song, so I'm walking off the field before it is played" ??

The story here isn't "Students are forcing school to stop playing the song". (Indeed: the song was still played, and at least one player stood on the field through the duration of the song). The story is "Students are walking off field before song is finished". It doesn't seem like students are taking a very aggressive stance from my perspective.

Then again, I never really liked the whole "school spirit" exercises that I was forced into... being a nerd and all.

In the past you might have had e.g. Catcher in the Rye or Lolita or whatever banned from libraries, but low-profile authors weren't receiving death threats. The important question isn't whether the critics are fair or what their politics are; the important question is what kind of an impact do they have, and a chilling effect is worth being concerned about.

Holy Molly! Any credit card company would have done this in 2 minutes and refunded the charges while they investigate. Because this is Apple, one card transaction dispute requires you to change your AppleID password. What a mess!!!

You do realize the the “kids” who inherit the money are probably in their 60’s, and the parents are late 80’s. Most people who inherit money from parents are already in their last decade working. You make it sound like a bunch of 18 YO.
From the article:

> In the absence of a full accounting of this episode, I can’t make any firm judgment about the merits of McNeil’s departure. For all I know, he could have been acting unprofessionally for years, and it took a few teens to force the Times to take action it should have taken years ago.

So this is a he said they said situation. The nymag article doesn’t account for the sexist accusations as well. The NYT say they performed an investigation and based on that decided to fire him. So if you believe the NYT is liable to fire a senior reporter over the say so if a few “woke” college students you will feel justified to protest this. If you believe the NYT corroborated the college students story that were extremely uncomfortable due to actual sexist/racist behavior and then fired him, it doesnt look like much of a story.

Neither you nor I know the specifics of what he said or didn’t say - that’s only him, the students, and maybe to an extent the NYT investigators. I’m not saying I inherently agree with the assessment of one side at all here, just that to say he was “canceled” is quite a bit of a reach.

>Aren't people happier and more productive when they're in charge of their own destiny?

Sometimes, but there are also people who just want to accomplish the task at hand and collect a paycheck. And for the enthusiastic employee, a good manager should be able to tell if someone is over-committing themselves and setting themselves up for failure. A good manager should be able to deal with a range of enthusiasm and adjust accordingly.
If you don't understand, you're not paying attention. There's a big difference between saying a word and using a word. He was answering a question about someone else's use of the word and trying to clarify. What he essentially said was "Did she actually say 'n_____'?"

It sounds to me like a few kids at this conference were butthurt for being told they were wrong about completely unrelated questions, and pounced like jackals for anything to make this guy look like a nazi. "I might be completely wrong about Jared Diamond and look like a dumbass... but 'n______' came out of this guy's mouth at some point! Get him!"
All sound waves can be defined as the sum of a (possibly infinite) set of different sine waves. Each such sine wave naturally has a frequency (a pitch), an amplitude, and a phase. If you break a wave into its constituent sine waves like this, each sine wave is known as a PARTIAL.

Sound waves that we perceive as tonal -- as musical -- commonly consist with partials which follow a certain pattern. Namely, there is one lowest partial, and most or all of the higher partials have frequencies which are INTEGER MULTIPLES of the this lowest partial's frequency. For example, if the fundamental is at 200Hz, perhaps the next lowest partial is at 400Hz, and the next one might be at 600 or 800Hz, and so on.

When partials are organized like this, they are known as HARMONICS. The lowest such partial -- the lowest harmonic -- is called the FUNDAMENTAL, and the remaining (higher) harmonics are known as the OVERTONES. It is common, but not always the case, that the fundamental (1) defines the pitch of the sound (2) is the loudest harmonic. Overtones instead tend to add color to a sound.

To be honest I don't remember signing up for the account. The fact that Apple Pay was used makes me think somehow I did it on my phone by accident. I do read the WaPo on occasion, so that sounds like the most likely scenario. And they are full of dark patterns, which I guess Apple at least tacitly supports.

But PayPal's had that see and control your subscriptions ability for many years and it's embarrassing for Apple to not have that at this point. And then to nuke the account creds was crazy. And then the fact that I was literally texting with the agent on the phone # that they were trying to text to verify the account, and I was getting nothing, was crazy. And the fact that they couldn't override. And then the fact that while waiting for a verification code that never arrived, they booted me from support. And then the fact that the next agent had zero context, crazy. And then on and on. And then that's before all the phone calls! It's sort of like I think they are trolling me.

I've never owned a credit card that would allow me to "block" a merchant from charging me (not saying they don't exist). With a conventional card you can dispute the charge and perform a charge-back, but it's still up to you to ensure that the merchant does not keep charging you. I can see why the rep was confused.

Normally if a merchant is charging your card without your permission you contact them first. If it's a recurring fraudulent charge and they won't respond you contact the police, report it to the bank, and have the bank issue a new card.

Now if this is a subscription service offered through the News app I have no idea what the proper procedure would be beyond simply cancelling the subscription and requesting a refund. But even then you aren't "blocking" a merchant.
Short, just like Google's support. See they built it in from the start!
AFAICT this isn’t by Microsoft, and anyways by this definition it would mean that Microsoft cannot do anything without being declared EEE revival except strictly implementing the baseline standard.

Extending standards is normal and expected. It’s the extinguishing part that we get in trouble, but a natural risk of any large player “contributing” to OS (their weight is what opens the possibility; but their weight is also what you want to enable larger/comprehensive OS codebases).

That is, you want Microsoft contributing to Linux. The thing to avoid is only Microsoft contributing to Linux.
