"Far-right misinformation"

~ government-funded leftist "newspaper"

Side versus side, always.

Society engages, largely, in a series genetic fallacies, as a means of filtering information. If it instead dealt in facts, a lot of the problems it faced would be resolved.

There is no left or right. There are just people who choose to believe one information source or another, mostly based on team affiliation. Then, those people engage in fallacious arguments with people who identify as being on the other team.

Take away team affiliation and a "far-right" individual may,
in fact, just be somebody who believes in free market Austrian school economics, rather than a "fascist racist who hates women" or worse.

Take away team affiliation and a "leftist communist" may just be somebody who believes that healthcare should be paid for by the government.

Take away the labels and you are left with a couple individuals who would probably be willing to debate the merits of their positions against each other.
Ah, Xcloud post Xbox would make sense! I guess I’ll wait and see :) thanks!
> Does anyone have a decent WAP where I can use PoE, deploy like 5 of them and have them support roaming between APs, all managed locally? Is that too much to ask?

Not as comprehensive as Ubiquiti’s management interface but the CAPsMAN feature on Mikrotik routers and APs does cover this use case.
Probably stock, probably on a DFS channel.
But how fast a determined attacker will be able to utilize acquired physical key?

Is something like kidnapping in the threat model for companies like ubiquiti?
Rpi does seem to have already split to serve two different use cases. The normal board for hobby/educational purposes, and the compute module for embedded "real" use. That works for #2. I suspect #1 depends a lot on what Broadcom can give them at a price point that preserves the Rpi history of being dirt cheap.

> a source who participated in the response to that breach alleges Ubiquiti massively downplayed a “catastrophic” incident to minimize the hit to its stock price, and that the third-party cloud provider claim was a fabrication.

I'm sure their lawyers don't know anything about tech or forensics, but they know how buy shareholders time in a way that minimizes anyone's chances of going to prison or facing serious civil liability. If you ask someone in charge of hiring corporate counsel what they look for in a lawyer, they will flat out tell you "a good risk manager who understands discretion" which just means "someone who's going to tell us what we can get away with".

The regulatory system in the US is sufficiently dysfunctional that there is zero incentive for corporate counsel to even consider what's in the best interest of consumers.

CICO is the core of any effective diet. The rest of it is all about trying to enforce it. Which is all about keeping people from feeling hungry, bored, or otherwise failing to follow through.

Most diets work for the first few weeks because people are engaged by the novelty. Longer term compliance depends a lot on the person, both mentally and physically (including all the complexities of muscle mass, gut biome, and the whole nine yards). There's no silver bullet. You just have to keep at it until you find something that you can stick with.

What works for me is doing my own cooking, keeping a lot of vegetables around, and getting out of the house so that I'm too busy to stuff snacks into my face. I suspect that would work for a lot of people -- though that last part is really difficult with an office job.

That's me. Everybody else, good luck.
> There's no force involved. Even economic. The drivers drive for them despite having the same job options that non-drivers do, and they choose this.

Yea - I think this is the core portion of what makes this more difficult to stomach during a pandemic - the other options are few and far between and the job market is highly distorted right now.

Most folks on HN still have cushy jobs (I work in a healthcare adjacent market so our market segment is actually doing quite fine) but a lot of folks that were either jobless going into covid or were laid off/furloughed due to it are in a hard place. Unemployment laws are such that folks can be forced to take contract gigs if they're available or else fail to qualify for unemployment and that can put folks in a really awkward position financially.

There is some serious exploitation here due to the lack of options. Something like UBI and national healthcare like we've got up here in Canada would seriously improve lives for folks that find themselves unable to cover expenses without working themselves to the bone and I think that everyone should have a right to a pleasant life. It's quite a tough situation.
Boy, this smells like a drama drop if I've ever seen one. A maintainer of a relatively well known (and relatively stagnated) project decides to take back control in order to start releasing again, and one of the usurped maintainers comes to HN to post a plaintext complaint about it? Either post her commit message or don't post anything at all, framing this through the lens of a "coup" raises more questions than it answers. Ultimately, I feel like this was distastefully handled on both sides.
Seriously I'm just tired of it. Do you know how many tech geeks over the last few years have proudly proclaimed online that the company is "going downhill" and they'll never buy any more Ubiquiti products? 50 billion, that's how many. How many follow through? Evidently zero. It's comical. The hack obviously not good, but GMAFB.

The far left exists and has its own conspiracy theories, but its conspiracy theories are not:

- the mainstream, institutionalized belief of one of the two parties in the US

- repeated by Fox News every day

- constantly disavowed by people on their side of the aisle (e.g. Kemp and Raffensperger in Georgia)

Both sides are not the same. We even have Facebook's internal research showing that cracking down on misinformation and hate speech would primarily impact the right (at which point execs stopped it from happening).

I already know that there's no point in approaching you with facts, but I do think there's value in challenging this fictitious worldview, where everyone is persecuting poor innocent authoritarian racists.
Replace "American evangelical" and "Christian" with "American muslim/Jewish" and "muslim/Jewish", and read what you just wrote. I think you will see how bigoted it is.

> I wonder why their legal department would PREVENT them from saving their users.

Good legal departments understand that the company is there to serve the users and make them happy and operate within those constraints (even trading off possibly liability when it makes the products sell better).

Horrible legal departments will block anything that has even a smell of liability, even when it comes to sabotaging the product itself and hiding serious issues from users and employees.

Mikrotik, but unfortunately getting reasonable throughput for wireless clients is a serious challenge (I always have better results with openwrt on the same hardware). Still, nice to have local control and not have to rely on some cloud service just to use the hardware I bought.

> But could an AI zombie formulate such questions by itself, without hearing them from another source or belching them out from random outputs? To me, the answer is clearly no.

So, there is no proof, only an opinion about a bad defined subject.

>> Still, I can at least entertain the idea that you’re not conscious and that you’re a zombie who’s in fact just making all these noises without having any consciousness on the inside.

It looks like a very plausible explanation.
If a non-tech savvy or elderly person is doing a screenshare with a scammer and that scammer is showing them a website that's been modified with dev tools (i.e. changing the bank account value to a misleading number), how can the victim diagnose it? A site that's been discreetly edited with dev tools can be difficult to spot, I think.

It was either a Jim Browning or another YouTuber's video where the scammer did that, and I wonder how many others have fallen victim.
Not particularly striking, however.

The problem is that on-prem isn't much better in many cases. Only the largest organizations have the capability to operate deep defenses against these threats whether it's the cloud, or the on-prem.

If you and your team have the skills you can operate fairly effectively on a small scale, but that's a pretty luxurious situation. Most home users can't tell the difference between a router and cable modem hence it's in the interest of cable providers to lower support costs by providing a managed offering. It's terrible from a security perspective, but customers have signed that away.

The common theme running through these breaches is that the organization isn't necessarily small, but they aren't Google/Apple/Microsoft-size either. Those companies have multiple layers of expertise and the cash flow to hold up development of anything in order to make sure things are secure. It's hard to wing stuff once the bureaucracy understands security is needed. They even start pushing their product security initiatives outside of product development to mundane departments because they get attacked by very smart actors. You can see from the news it's still far from perfect.

Once you get to companies the size of Ubiquiti, you start having challenges with implementing close to the same degree of security because you don't have float in the system to allow for additional costs, delays, etc. on top of the lack of expertise. Apparently Ubiquiti have been hemorrhaging expertise in other areas due to opportunistic cost-cutting, so it isn't a surprise that they suffer and respond in this way given that culture. A bad security decision by one exec in companies of this size can cut across many departments which doesn't happen in the behemoths.

I've just been pre-recording videos for external events. This has some advantages relative to doing it live.

- I can do some different things when I record and edit such as inserting clips that aren't just a slide and me as a talking head. (Though having a thumbnail of the speaker is a practice I hope we keep versus just talking to a full screen slide.)

- Reduce the likelihood of network-related or other issues at my end.

- Can interact with an audience in real-time in chat.

- Can redo sections that don't come out well.
You don’t really have to ask a stranger - you can ask your router, in a similar way you can check the door number on your street.

Is it just me or are you no longer able to avoid the cloud with the latest software updates for unifi?
I'm not sure what you're asking. As a software developer, supporting negative leading isn't hard, but as an end user (as I was in the example above) that's no help if the software developer hasn't done the work.
Yes, it is comparable. We will support all the basic transformations like resize, crop, rotate, etc. Advanced transformations like object detection is not in the immediate roadmap, unless there is demand for it. In terms of asset optimization, we are planning to go all out though.

I would go further to say that for a large portion of merchant transactions, confirmations are a non-issue. It is not trivial to pull off a double spend and no one is going to do it for a cup of coffee. The miniscule number of times that it might happen could be written off as the cost of doing business, the same way the big credit card companies quietly eat all the credit card fraud that happens.
I use OpenWRT now and would really rather avoid it. I want a central controller, not having every AP have its own UI. Plus firmware updates area always an adventure.
It could be a coincidence but honestly if we see too many of these records, it may, actually be a forest.
That's not a quote from me? I think you're just proving my point.
This project is a joke when it comes to professionalism and quality and it is unfairly giving free software a bad image. The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was thinking it was going to be an old article about what happened for years ago when this maintainer abruptly withdrew the project from GNU with absolutely zero advance notice to anyone. This is why companies pay millions of dollars for Enterprise Linux or, because of its bad image, don't want to use free software at all.

Open source firmware is a great and necessary idea, but I do not think the Libreboot project, cool as it may be, is ever going to make substantial progress towards that (for non-decade old laptops).
It is a software integration problem. Think Oauth. Your car is made by one company, the charging stations by another. The progress becomes very slow.
> Nobody said you "need" REPL.

Well, you did, quoting the article:

> Yes, if you are not using the REPL, you are not doing Clojure right.

or should I understand this another way?

> but that's besides the point.

True. I'm saying that if you need to code in a particular way to make good use of the REPL, then it's already worse than being able to use the REPL well without any special coding style. Erlang and Elixir are great examples of that.

I also have a problem with you believing there even is one correct way to use any language, but that's bearable. You being so sure that you're the only one qualified to know anything about that correct way is much worse.

EDIT: I just saw so many "revolutionary ways to write code" which were being pushed hard by people absolutely sure their methods are so much better, and which ultimately amounted to little more than a few percent improvement in productivity in the real world - in the best case. It makes me suspicious of any such claims.

> Your boast about your Lisp credentials

My? I said:

> Nevermind me, but [...]

So you're putting words in my mouth; further, I said nothing about my knowledge of Clojure, so this:

> Your pride has prevented you from properly learning Clojure

Is completely unwarranted. And offensive. Could you please stop?
Got to have proper power section first. The left-bottom section. And designated external power headers rather than the USB or GPIO backfeeding(PoE pins might work for that already?). Some claims the chronic SD card longevity issue in all Pi is coming from dirty power Pi feeds.

Should have blown the whistle to the SEC instead. SEC whistleblowers get paid. Up to 30% of eventual penalties paid by the company with no upper limit. Lying about a breach could be securities fraud.
I don't think it's a demographic issue either. The problem isn't older people are more likely to be conservative. The problem is that engagement-driven social media platforms profit from being echo chamber factories. It happens to the left too, even on Facebook. Nobody is safe.

So the question for becomes: is there just not a good enthusiast market for this stuff? I have met a number of people who are "network nerds", so I'm inclined to think the market does exist. With any of the plethora of consumer devices (Linksys, Netgear, D-Link) it's a dice roll whether your gear is complete garbage or not. A lot of the time, you're coming up snake eyes.

I've got some Ubiquiti gear I bought a couple years ago. Like you, I want good quality gear that I can manage myself. I don't need a bunch of fancy corporate garbage, like link aggregation or cloud management. Give me solid, hardware accelerated routing and switching, flexibility over my local DNS, and maybe some VLANing.

I was running Linux on a small x86 box as my last network router. Maybe it's time to get back to that. That or go back to banging rocks together. Haven't decided which, yet.
CSS px * devicePixelRatio = physical pixels

I feel your pain about non-integer scaling ratios. The way I hack around it is to set the canvas context to an integer number of device pixels, and then set the CSS size of the canvas to a fractional size: device pixels / DPR.

We use this along with some other hacks on keep.google.com and some other sites to map 1:1 to display pixels to try to ensure hardware overlay promotion for the inking surface.
I think its' more sinister than that. Keeping politics out of sports meant that sports were something that people could bond over. Sports could form a bridge between disparate viewpoints. Everybody talks about the growing political divide in America, but part of the problem is this compulsive desire to politicize everything has left nowhere for people with different views to feel comfortable congregating together.

It's people not getting it and being plain annoyed by the second factor. YubiKey or Authenticator app on a different device... it's too inconvenient and people often only do it if forced (e.g. banks do this afaik).
