1 sample isn't conclusive enough to form an opinion, lab contamination is more likely. It's embarrassing they even released that information without further analysis.
You can't really put all American suburbs in a single category. We moved from one suburb to another a few years ago. The first involved a 60-120min commute each way, no matter if you drove, used the commuter boat, or train, and required a car for everything. The suburb we moved to is a 5 mile drive or bike on separated path, I can bike to stores, bike to school with the kids to school then continue on to work, etc.

We have half the land we used to, and our neighborhood probably looks more like the American suburb satellite view in the parent article, but having bike/pedestrian infrastructure, and proximity to the things that we want to do makes a big difference.

Sorry, just saw your reply. Like I said before, I'm not willing to get into all of the details. In this specific case, however, the eviction moratoriums do not cover the shenanigans that my MIL is dealing with.
That's true of the articles directly linked in the reddit post, but not the Spectator article (that was not linked to) - https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/aimee-challenor-and-the-... - that one. (Which is the link that apparently led to the banning of the person who posted it)
Some of the reports are supposed to be from multiple instruments.

Obviously there will not be anything convincing, because if it was this would not be the way to release it.
I think any action done can be noted to that effect, but a step towards transparency should be a goal, because over time and interaction that “mystery” cold be solved. Wikipedia records all changes for review, with such an erudite crowd behind HN, it would seem trivial to establish such a system.
People are different. Perhaps he tends to go down slippery slopes with this kind of things. I know I do.

1K on luxury office chair? What kind of office were you working in? I'm a software dev and every company I've worked at had those horribly uncomfortable mesh chairs. You can find low priced - if not entirely free - decent office chairs off Craigslist. There's entire wharehouses full of office equipment priced less than $100 that will have the same ergonomic effect if not better than an average office in my experience.

Many people do. You'd be surprised.
I'm well aware of whom I'm speaking to and the efforts made by others.

I'm also well aware of lots of other security problems facing Linux that need love and the steps being taken by other operating systems where Linux lags behind.

So while I'm not saying that there isn't a concern about security by the people involved, I am certainly saying why this as opposed to other things.

I have my pet problems and areas where I prefer to work too.
A human person can't be a DNS registrar either.

TLS certs aren't a stamp of approval; they're just a statement saying "we've verified that this public key belongs to the owner of this domain".
No but you should not assume that defaulting to the victim's mindset will help your chances of survival. Your initial comment implied that nature has your best interest in heart; and your child comment is contradicting it?

What's so hard about taking a cautious approach and proactively increase your chances of survival? I.e get to higher grounds (floods), evacuating(hurricanes), get vaccinated (covid + new diseases?), etc.
> If you want it readable, why analog in the first place?

Granting that not everyone learns to "tell time" these days, for those who did, the watch hands instantly convey the (12-hour) time by their positions.

That is, as long as one of the hands is sufficiently longer than the other. Years ago I woke up, looked at my analog watch, saw it was 6:55 a.m., got up, and started shaving, thinking I'd overslept. A few minutes later I looked again: It was actually 10:45 p.m.; I'd been asleep for maybe 30 minutes and had misread the hands. (This was during an at-sea period in the Navy, during which as usual we were all running on not a lot of sleep.)

I think this is totally valid and for YC, scaling has obvious advantages (more chances of finding the next hit).

For founders, the reality is that the scaling of YC, fairly or not, does change the perception of being admitted into YC, in that having a larger class size gives off the impression (whether true or not), that the program is no longer as highly-selective/elite. For what it’s worth, I don’t think YC is at that stage and I don’t think the expansion dilutes the YC name (this isn’t like TEDx). There is a big gulf between admitting everyone and expanding class size the way they have been expanded now. Still, as I said, an increased class size can absolutely change the perception, amongst applicants, alumni, or outsiders, that the program is no longer as “elite.”

This isn’t unique to YC. Elite colleges and universities are often artificially limited in their admission figures (Harvard College has about 6600 undergrads whereas Harvard University has like 14,000 graduate students across the different schools and programs) and while some have attempted scale through either extension schools or online programs, there is a not insignificant social construct surrounding the idea of keeping something deemed “elite,” selective.

So everything you write is true. But it’s also true that the perception of scaling can be negative in some ways, even if the program isn’t actually diluted.
Rustc's lack of architecture support is purely an LLVM issue/

A far as I know, the latter supports many architectures the former does not.
I don't actually see the problem. If you're on a local network, there's no practical way to deal with certificates, so use http. Chrome will fall back. Problem solved.

If http support ever gets truly removed, I will be very upset. But that hasn't happened, so what is there to complain about?
Stallman Back at FSF
I disagree about it being a losing battle. It's a classic network effect / epidemic shaped model. Once a threshold is reached, the reinforcing loop takes over.

What's needed is the money and elbow grease to get the loop turning in the first place. That's where the major companies will need to put up or shut up.
> for how long the GC is going to kicks in.

1ms (max, average at 50us)

And for the 'when' I'll add that the very concept of having a concurrent GC means you don't need to do a (potentially pausing) malloc right in the middle of what you're trying to do.

What I'm hearing is that public places are not nice because not everyone treats them the way rich people treat public spaces.

You list a bunch of complaints that seem reasonable individually but taken together basically boil down to complaining about the difference between rich and poor then end with a comment about how it might fix itself if everyone were better off (which seems uncomfortably close to "if we got rid of the poors").

Indeed many problems would be solved with money but the primary difference between your sentiment and the kind of sentiments that result in the authoritarian programs that are the subject of TFA is the willingness to use the jackboot as a means to bring about the end you desire.

There's a fine line between preventing the park from turning into a homeless camp and using the police to systematically people for smoking weed at the park.
Here's an approach I've used before successfully. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing.

1. Create your own root Certificate Authority.

2. Create a script using your favorite language and libraries that will create a new certificate for each device something along the lines of "myiotdevice-AABBCCDD.local". The AABBCCDD needs to be some sort of serialized number that's assigned during manufacturing and won't be repeated between devices.

3. Add to your product support for ZeroConf/mDNS/DNS Service Discovery and advertise an https web server at myiotdevice-AABBCCDD.local.

4. Provide instructions to your users on how to download and install the certificate for your root CA (this only needs to be done once).

5. Print the name "myiotdevice-AABBCCDD.local" on the device and instruct users to type that in to a browser's address bar.

I'm doing this from memory so I may have missed an intricacy here or there (like DNS SD is a weird story on Windows 10) but this approach should basically work well enough.

EDIT - good commentary in replies about the dangers of the CA being compromised. Also, good mention of X.509 Name Constraints and how they can be used to mitigate that danger somewhat. More info here: https://systemoverlord.com/2020/06/14/private-ca-with-x-509-...

If the value of YC goes down, it should be clear soon, because the valuation of YC startups on demo day will go down. That hasn’t been the case at all though - since 2010 when I first went through YC the typical valuations have pretty clearly been trending up.

I hope YC can keep scaling, because the number of startups is not fixed. I would like to live in a world where a startup is going public every day, where YC funds tens of thousands of startups every year. Maybe we can get there.

Gay people don't try to force me to call them something that I don't think they are. Some trans people do. Gay people just want me to not insult them. There is a subset of trans people who think that anyone who deviates even slightly from seeing them as their chosen gender, no matter how politely, is insulting them. They bully people online.

I'm not some sexual bigot. I'm a man and I've experimented with homosexual activity myself. But I don't try to censor or bully people who politely disagree with how I see myself.
The cheerful "your real friends will.." meme ignores the possibility that you'll find you have no "real" friends. Turns out even casual friends are better than none, and you aren't likely to find any real friends if you are hiding offline, waiting for everyone to come to you.

Ultimately it takes leaderships buy in. Even things like UAC or sudo/security profiles arent full proof. A lot of people will just type in their password or click yes if prompted and they are perceptively trying to "do something". Even those that "work in tech" but not really security. I have had some good developers try and disable our security services, use proxies etc. And realistically my teams work hard to nurture relationships with dev and give them any and all tools they need.

I tried, hard, to implement some basic account separation for people with admin access to backend infra. The goal was simply to reduce the possibility of EOP or lateral movement and really only more specifically only for those that work in Backend infra (aka Dev, Ops, SQL admins etc).

Things like removing local admin with a normal account and using admin accounts for backend infra, escalation so the normal users email/browsers cant possibly dump lsass etc..

I got a LOT of pushback, to the point of being called names. I was told i cannot push further without possible recourse and cannot escalate the proposal to c-suites. My org wasnt even open to step 1...

Not just blue screen but these new AI actors would do things that no real human being could do. One reason why Game of thrones had only 8 seasons is because crew got bored and kids grew up.

With deepfakes you can have peter pan like actors who will not age or even reverse age. everyone will have 8 pack abs and 36D busts (or whatever audience likes). In fact there could be A/B testing of how actors should look and behave.

Next obvious step is people like me volunteering to be that "extra" behind the key actor and engage in a bidding war. All I have to do is give my body scan and one of the zombies killed by Rick in walking dead could be me.

Even thought of etching that on stainless plates or something.

The Open Access Effect in Social Media Exposure of Scholarly Articles
That's very cool, but it still requires a working and reliable internet connection.

Also these ultra-long URLs are very clumsy and can't really be used directly, so you need to have some sort of cloud frontend that where the device phones home in order to announce its LAN IP, then the user can go through there in order to connect to their LAN devices.

For something like Plex it makes a lot of sense since you're probably going to have an internet connection when you use it anyway, but for my devices it's a deal breaker.

And at any rate, that's a whole lot of infrastructure just to be able to expose a simple web interface.

> I like Rust, but I don't understand why "OS written in [language]" is a compelling goal within itself.

There's a few good reasons in my mind:

* proof of concept - if a language claims to be a systems language, being able to point to an OS in it is pretty good proof that it's true.

* dogfooding - if there are problems with how the language works for the OS case, they can be highlighted by the OS. (this is similar to self hosting a compiler)

* community building - some folks want to work on a new OS, and doing it in a specific language helps grow both groups and at least introduces them to each other.

NodeJS + Heroku is unbelievably easy to get off the ground.
But this requires the manufacturer of the IoT device to provide a central service like Plex does.

Maybe they can't afford it, or the device is expected to run for a very long time, like even after the manufacturer goes out of business. Or as some other commenters have said, it's a personal / hobby project and the "manufacturer" doesn't have the means nor the will to maintain some outside management server.

However given she is directly connected to the person at hand by willful association after knowing the issue she pretty much deserves no exception.

> I love TF but using something because it's popular is the worst reason ever. Why even include this as a reason?

They don't really mean "because it's popular", they mean because it's the industry incumbent and de-facto standard. You can't use anything else, because nothing else makes sense.

You need to standardize on one tool, especially if your infrastructure / teams grow. If you want to deploy something on AWS using an API with a minimal graph of dependencies, there's just Terraform. Pulumi isn't totally free, you have to write more code, there aren't nearly as many providers, not as many people know it, etc. There's basically nothing else. As a result, it's "popular".

Actually we should have switched to resource locators that are just plain strings ("ycombinator news threads 26558305" . It s what google has been pushing everyone to do anyway (readable URLs), and what the centralization of the web led to ( fb / twitter usernames). Its easy for people to parse and speak through the phone, and it would be a decentralized, natural revival of AOL keywords. It would also drop total google searches by a few tens of percent

Homosexuality and heterosexuality are modern inventions, yes - they first show up in the discourse of 19th c. psychology. And no, rape culture was never the province of "certain minorities", in fact it was quite widespread among those we would now (retrospectively!) identify as heterosexual. The primacy of sexual consent and of romantic, egalitarian relationships are very modern developments.

> As long as it’s trusting one domain at a time (not a root CA), would it really be /that/ bad?

I think the unhappy reality is that yes, it would. In security terms it's a good thing the major browsers are extremely hostile to invalid HTTPS certs, and do not give the user an easy way to proceed (as somehnguy mentioned).

If you give the average user a simple Click to proceed, they will use it unthinkingly. Then, an invalid cert would no longer be a website-breaking catastrophe (which it absolutely should be), instead it would just be a strange pop-up that the user quickly forgets about, and the door is opened to bypassing the whole system of certificate-based security.

If you have the technical know-how, you already have the ability to customise the set of trusted certificates on your machine (with the possible exception of 'locked-down' mobile systems like iOS). The rest is a matter of UI.

> This and browser vendors being overbearing about extensions (I know they’re powerful) gets me down.

Similar situation. Unless carefully policed, browser extension stores can be used as attack vectors, and whether it's fair or not, the browser gets a bad reputation.
