I run an open ssh server on the web. WE are seeing a lot of attacks trying to guess the password on ssh logs. Is this normal? We will switch it off but is there a place to complain?
Tesla doesn't either.

Tesla can read your music from USB flash drives. This is wonderful, because they have a premium audio system (used to cost $2500) and you could play high-quality music.

You could load a drive with FLAC or Apple Lossless music and play it back without MP3 lossiness and artifacts.

Yet album art? they do not care.

Here's a thread on how the USB player is a buggy unsupported mess. It recently lost the ability to display album art, but there are plenty of other problems (like no playlist support or any number of other problems)

> free healthcare and preventative screening but not everyone takes advantage of it.

Sometimes these things are explained by looking at them from the other side. People aren’t taking advantage because the system wasn’t geared towards them or excludes them, or did in the past.

I have no idea what it’s like in Canada but the New Zealand healthcare system has some dark history and a history of institutional biases that are still a hinderance today.
Despite being identified a long time ago, large gaps in healthcare exist here between various population groups.

This is factual wrong on so many levels.

Hitchhiking in the sense of getting into a private car that just happens to go the same directions and has no commercial interest is NOT a thing in Cuba, are at least not the norm. Not many people own their own car in Cuba and if they do, they use them mostly commercially.

What they are probably referring too are cooperative taxis. Those are cars or smaller buses that are driving a certain route, like a bus. They don't have fixed stops. You just go to a street that is part of their route and wait for them to drive by and hail them. You get on, pay a small fee and tell the driver when you want to stop and go out. Think low tech Uber + ride sharing with strangers.

They are super great for getting around comfortably for cheap.

Saying the public transport in Cuba is bad makes no sense. Basically nobody owns a car in Cuba and people still get around just fine. Of course because of the economic blockade against Cuba they are forced to be creative on how to use the available resources.

As someone that has lived and studied in Cuba, feel free to ask additional questions. The amount of misinformation really grinds my gears.
I haven't looked at that onion site, but presumably that link is just a list of files, not their content. Otherwise, it has no blackmail value.
It's our duty as human beings to resist any normalization of remote working. Loneliness is a far worse problem in our society than commuting. We need to make sure everyone has a baseline level of social contact.

Most importantly, do NOT collect data you do not need to. I don’t see why universities need their students’ SSNs, apart from reporting salaries paid to grad students-as-employees.

Ask HN: Best low-/no-code solution for simple web-based database frontends
I'm currently looking for a solution to provide (non-technical) team members with a way to interact with a SQL database (MySQL at the moment; PostgreSQL in the future). Basically, I want/need to build several very simple web-based CRUD-forms. Does anyone remember MS Access...

While my initial thought was to build a simple Django application, I'd prefer something non-developers could also work with. -> Low-/No-Code Solution

While I'm generally willing to pay, I'd really prefer an open and self-hosted solution.

Your main losses will be just from inverse-square law. Even if your ship is reflecting a laser off its rear end, you can only focus the beam so much; at some point the spot size will be bigger than the ship, and you'll be in the inverse-square regime (same surface area, 1/r^2 energy within it).
If they do then why don't they share it?

I mean they must realise this is a pretty unpopular decision so why not share their justification.

Otherwise it's just an appeal to authority - "Ours not to reason why.."
The loss to 90% of the world's ant colonies due to "unintentional lensing" is an unfortunate side effect. :)

I moved away from cable because my area had poor capacity planning (and it's generally a crappy technology) - if someone in the house was on a video call (edit to say: any upload really) - ping times to any external host (like 1.1.1.1) would go from 20 ms (the minimum obtainable) to 60-100ms with jitter

I see great potential for a Raspberry Pi based online radio player, where the playlist is transferred using a text file on a 3.5" floppy disk.

That would mean that you could choose your radio station (or Spotify playlist) by picking out the appropriate floppy disk and shoving it into the radio.

I don't know, but I think it's reasonable to assume that their primary concern is productivity, and that at a company like Google, that concern will be analyzed in a data driven way. Perhaps they don't want to insult their developers by implying their productivity dipped, or something.
We have taxes already in the form of taxes on every gallon of gas that's sold. 50 cents or more per gallon depending on the area. It's great if you're rich and successful and work from home in tech to argue for higher taxes. Not so much when you have no choice but to travel for work and you have to spend several hundred dollars a month to do so.

I haven't used salt, but the thing to understand is that even when the syntax used is Clojure, the semantics is TLA+'s. So, for example, if you use a Clojure function syntax to define a TLA+ operator, that will not behave like a Clojure function, but like a TLA+ operator, which behaves very differently from Clojure functions. So the symbols on the screen might be more familiar, but their meaning will be different from their meaning in Clojure. I think that is more confusing, which would be a downside, but if you find that more approachable -- great, use that.

All good points, I'd add one more. Make sure you have detection and response capabilities.

Many attacks go from an initial point of compromise to find and attack target information. If you can detect this activity early, it might be possible to reduce the severity of the breach.
It would make sense, they don't want to stop the appreciation of their real estate assets. How much is google's campus worth?
You can have social contact outside of work though. WFH gives people back time to explore hobbies, join clubs, meet people etc.

The social contact you have at work often feels forced and artificial - you can choose your friends, your colleagues not so much.

Ask HN: What is/are the primary limiting factors in setting up an IC fab
Not quite an ELI5, but perhaps high-level-ish query - I'd appreciate if anyone who has industry knowledge could explain it like I have an electrical engineering degree but only a passing familiarity with chip manufacturing.

I'm talking specifically about comparatively new process tech/smaller gate widths and I'm hoping the answer isn't as simple as, "it's expensive" or "export restrictions".

That is to say, is the challenge technical (if I was a rich supervillain, could I hire a team to build my own ASML equivalent - or is that form of lithography so complex that it's hard to replicate ). Say I could buy the machines, is it then only a matter of money to set up the fab to production levels ? Or is that a technical gamble too ?

I see a lot of discussion about other countries trying to get into the fab business and I guess, with my lack of understanding of the technical challenge, I always wonder why a state-level entity can't just pay X billion dollars for what is, arguably, an amazingly valuable asset.

I've heard (apocryphal?) stories, here on HN and elsewhere about countries trying (at least on paper) and failing - a recent attempt in China (failed for several reasons), past attempts in India (failed on infrastructure requirements). It was pretty fascinating from a bird's-eye view of the supply chain that results in a chip today.

Firstly, you mean general purpose computing device. Personal computer just means a single person uses it. By the current definition my electric tooth brush is a personal computer.

Secondly can you please define general purpose computing device such that it doesn’t include my toaster, pressure/slow cooker, or oven?

> "-There's an app for that."

My definition for general purpose computing device is, when there needs to be an app for that, and if the app doesn’t exist, I (or anyone) can’t do it without Apple’s permission. Which is what Apple marketed me.

> a locked bootloader keeping people from easily hacking Linux or Android on there

I am actually for an unlocked boot loader on iDevices (with a voided warranty and no expectations for driver support).

I’m also for pushing Apple to reduce its fees from 30% or 15% or whatever to even lower. As long as it continues to be profitable for them to hold a high security/privacy bar and ideally raise it even higher.

I’m just very much not a fan of opening up iOS to sideloading. And I’m not a fan of reducing Apple’s control over developers on iOS.

If a living person has a SSN they can be identified by it [1]. That does not imply any individual can be identified by a SSN or that any SSN identifies an individual. The suitability of an SSN is situational for ID purposes.

The video conflates identification and authentication to its detriment.

Social Security Numbers are very good identifiers, that’s literally their purpose.

Social Security Cards are poor authentication tokens because they contain no validation to prove the card holder is the person associated with the number. Or said another way, you cannot prove your identity (authenticate) with a social security card.

I don’t see what built in validation of the number has to do with the security of the identifier.

So again, the problem is using a Social Security Number or card for authentication. It’s fine as an identifier.

[1]: Social Security Numbers can be reissued but this should only happen when the number is no longer in use.
It's also possible without any energy transmission using lasers etc. as long as you are in some non-flat spacetime (i.e. there is some mass in your vincinity). It's called "swimming in spacetime" [1]

> They certainly could be wrong, but these sorts of comments remind me of Feynman's remarks about non-physicists frequently suggesting the experts didn't consider [X] [...]

I'm intrigued, do you have a source for that? It's a phenomenon I came across daily (say Covid) and because the world is becoming increasingly complex I would argue that so does the appeal of 'simple' explanations, or 'why the experts are wrong'.
To be clear it is normal however you should take steps to protect against it.
All these issues around “I like it my way and everyone should do it that way” issues have a very simple solution: let the adult people you hired decide for themselves! Make presence in the office entirely optional and see what happens. Those who can’t live without being in the office can come in every single day, those that hate it can never come, and those who want 1/2/3/4 days a week can also do it.
IT departments at universities are generally not bastions of competence. This was exacerbated by private sector compensation greatly exceeding compensation at universities the last twenty years.

The market prefers higher priced housing over lower priced. When there is demand for higher price housing the market builds housing. When there is not demand for higher priced housing the market tends to wait out the down cycle.

The market has no preference for building unprofitable housing. Bankers don’t have enthusiasm for loaning money to build it either.

Finally housing is one of the less profitable real estate development types. That’s why commercial property often sits vacant...the long term ROI from sitting out low demand is better than conversion in the present.
Add extensive string processing and handling. Pipelines of sed/grep/awk should be handled natively.

make directory/file handling built-in. Maybe add functions that easily handle directory and filenames with say spaces, quotes and unicode to get rid of horrendous quoting workarounds.

Actually reading the article, I think the most interesting part of it is not the one-party democracy or even the insights it provides about Japanese politics. It is the fact that they did something that is generally discouraged in this field: using open-ended questionnaires. And it gave them tons of insights!

Instead of asking "Which party do you prefer?" They realized that almost no party preference was expressed, except for the LDP, the ruling party and usually as an opposition to it.

They discovered the categories of focus in the electorate instead of shoehorning a grid into it.

Of course you don't really want to do it when you compare countries, and you open yourself to a ton of bias when you do manual analysis, but I think it is good once in a while to do such a thing to allows insights that may have been missed to show up.
I think what might be more likely is that if today's terminal illnesses are managed, we'll simply move the retirement age later and keep people working into their 70s.
Failing that, complianceware should be restricted to running its non-Turing-complete rules locally rather than routing everything sensitive through one sweet sweet target host.

Computational complexity seems like a useful frame for thinking about such distinctions. If you can calculate the state of a system at time t in O(log t), that's a lot like having a closed-form solution. On the other hand if the calculation takes O(t) time, then it seems much less like a closed-form solution and more like a step-by-step simulation.
It is hard to believe that there isn't enough money in it. Breast cancer has a thriving industry of surgeries to remove the cancers plus reconstruction surgery plus a number of treatments associated with these surgeries.

Currently in a 2 days WFH scenario atm where everyone just picks whatever random days they want. I'm not a fan. There's almost no consistency even though people set which days they are at home. Hard to describe, but it's mentally impossible to keep track of when starting a meeting if everyone is in the meeting who is supposed to be because I can't keep track of everyone's days, so I don't know if they're just not on the call yet, or forgot about the call and need to ping them, or are in the office but grabbing a coffee before coming to the meeting etc.

If it's all the same days that'd be great but doesn't seem like it's work for everyone. I know certain days/times where I can't have meetings at home because the space is otherwise occupied and I need to keep quiet etc.
