I don't understand whats flamebaity about the OP. This is an article literally about skin colors; thus it is somewhat natural that the word "racism" will appear in a harmless way, as here.
UK here:

Barclays don't require the app. You can still use the website or even telephone banking with a real agent. They do give you the chip and pin reader, the same as the one used in branches which works well.

Santander do seem to use a mobile for 2FA but only to send a text message and you can still use the website.

I rarely have to do more than 1 banking transaction / week so I just use the website, from home. Not too bothered about having another app, especially with access to my bank account.
Those customers ought to be looking at the process leading to purchase and wondering who got a bung in that process.

I had read this before. It's horrifying. How do you stop the chain reaction of proteins folding into lower energy states? It's not like a bacteria or virus; it's more like ice-nine, except instead of water it's your brain.
I think if I was black/person of colour, I'd maybe set the skin tone to closer to my real one.

As a white person, if I ever did a "handshake" emoji with a person of colour (and that's assuming if I even knew they were - you can't always tell over chat) I think I would default to just double-yellow [1]. I think to do anything else would be a minefield - did I get the shade wrong? Am I being patronising?

[1] and I rather that was just double-blue or something, due to the way yellow could be misconstrued.
Lol. You don’t own the share. You don’t get voting rights and the aggregator behaves as a single investor.

Nah, I think not. My business needs to run. Would be very painful if an engineer put in a hard shutdown at $X and then left the company only for me to find out after all my services are shutdown when we've grown past $X.

This is a hard no from me.

How is AWS going to even know what to shutdown/remove? What if it's storage causing my bill to overextend?

Yeah, not just no, but hell no.
"why wouldn't they go snooping around?"

Because if Amazon retail, which sells stuff, is looking at sales in their channel, well, that's sneaky but the entire retail world is sneaky.

If Amazon AWS is caught snooping at private AWS data, which contains HIPPA-compliant health info, financial records, government data, and some of the most sensitive data imaginable ... then they are toasty-toast.

I think the same thing would apply to Google. GCloud is different than Search etc. if that firewall breaks down that business will crash.

That's not the only issue. The ids are then fed back into the facebook.

Facebook can use it to link contacts together. I get a share link, it gives it an ID, I send it to someone, they open it and now they have linked my account with their account.
Same works if I click on a page and get the ID, share just that page, and someone clicks it (and there's some fb element on the page).

Now if several users a day share a link here on HN, facebook will know about us as belonging to a certain group.

New account, publication is made by someone @vaccines.net which claims the following "We are concerned that the current outbreak of COVID-19 is actually a bioweapon attack and may be linked to the US anthrax attack of 2001, which originated from the US army base Fort Detrick."

The publication has not been peer reviewed, and quotes several times articles published by the original author with similar claims.

How do I know when I am multitasking? If I am cooking a meal, and that meal has several items on the go at once, am I multitasking? What if I have a complicated coding problem with multiple requirements which I have to consider, perhaps with political implications, so that I'm switching my thinking from a technical viewpoint, to a user experience viewpoint, to a "what will the leadership think" viewpoint? Is that multitasking?
What if that engineer fat fingered and reserved a million GPU instances instead though?

It would be nice if cloud providers were better at surfacing potentially company killing things via their dashboards and nag emails.
That doesn’t change the fact that leadership then must either:

* Accept the claim that the company is and has been supporting white supremacy, de facto surrendering decisions on anything an employee suggests might support white supremacy

* Disagree with the claim

The redefinition of white supremacy (as you’ve defined it) is a bad faith rhetorical tool designed to create these kind of situations. Leaders are under no obligation to appease employees acting in bad faith.
Makefiles and Shell scripts (sh/ash/dash/bash/zsh/et. al.)

Make will take care of the file discovery, change detection and rebuilding all content files. And some simple shell scripting will let you generate minimal HTML with the no frills approach of just embedded big chunks of HTML into your scripts using strings or HereDoc sections depending on personal preferences.

For maximum simplicity I’d recommend writing blog/page content in a “HTML fragment style” where you basically just write the content as text annotated with any explicit HTML formatting like hr or br tags, along with appropriate paragraph tags. This will minimise the complexity of the shell scripts (mostly by eliminating any complicated markup translation mechanisms) you need to write for templating out finished HTML files.

If you want to get fancy add “jq” a widely available json parsing tool available as a static binary for most environments you’ll ever want to work in. Store a “metadata file” in JSON format next to your content. You can use this to automate post author attribution, extra post information like publication dates. As well as making more advanced things like controlling the styling of each item if you want different themes for different kinds of blog content.

You could gradually increase the sophistication of your HTML templating scripts, add some sed and awk to gradually minimise the number of big hand written chunks of HTML your templating scripts contain. But these will if not careful, reduce the flexibility you have by just being able to edit the hand written chunk of template HTML that wraps around your content. Both mechanisms have advantages so I’d recommend using a mechanism like the aforementioned “jq” metadata and an intermediary script layer that uses this metadata to control which scripting path gets used to build a page that way you can easily experiment with new variations in how you render your pages without risking breaking all your existing stuff.
Your link claims the 1 trillion tree estimate is wrong. But it doesn't propose an alternate number.

Here's a back of the envelope calculation: a tree absorbs about 48 pounds of CO2/year [1], which is 22kg. So, one trillion trees absorb 22 GT/year. The world puts out 36 GT/year (or about 50 GT of CO2-equivalent if you include methane and other greenhouse gases). One trillion might not be enough, but 2 could do the trick.

In a lot of ways roman civilization fits much better into “nearly industrialized” than “millennia old” and you have to remember that a whole lot of what became western civilization was invented by romans.

Really there were only a few missing big ideas and a few organizational failures in the way of, say, someone landing on the moon a thousand years ago. The fall of the empire set the species back perhaps as much as 1500 years.
At the bottom of the article (I think added later but not sure) there is a part about being able to get signed originals. It looks like they are (as of right now) still available as that part is yet to be stricken trough.
It's probably not so productive to comment on all the security holes over the years in MTAs. That said opensmtpd hasn't been unaffected by security issues either:

https://www.opensmtpd.org/security.html

In the past I ran a perl-based MTA, qpsmtpd, which was actually free of issues for the time I read it. That project was mothballed in favour of a node.js alternative (haraka). Of course both of these cheat by offloading delivery to something else - they're just the network layer, but very flexibly so.

Why not? Why do you care about the effort other people put into things that they care about? To such an extent that you’ll put effort into criticising things which are of literally no relevance to you?

Yeah nah.

Just because you’re not hip to it doesn’t mean it’s meaningless. I don’t understand most slangs, whether in my own mother tongue or in foreign langages I more or less understand.

Why do you think they chose the mainframe vendor (presumably IBM if it is still around) in the first place?
Thoughts in my head:

- Go was designed with simple compiler, because the purpose of it wasn't best performance at all costs, but simple code and fast compilation.

- Instead we watch as people try to second-guess their processor and alter their code to optimize the machine code produced. Defeating the purpose of Go?

- I've actually seen cases where removing the branches slows down code. People have learned that branching is interesting to the CPU, and have decided that no branching means "faster". Actually branching is perfectly fast, when the predictor is right (most of the time). You only want to avoid branching where the predictor does poorly.

Anyway, I think only do these tricks in very hot spots of your code, and backed by a solid benchmark to confirm improvement.

Why couldn't we just have stuck with yellow? Introducing skin tone provided no advantage and just opened a can of worms.
The difference is that most of us don't function in a normal working environment without our medication either.

I'm lucky that my chosen profession (SWE) largely gives me the autonomy to focus on tasks one at a time and that I can avoid having meetings spaced throughout the day. Most of the rest of "us" however aren't that lucky and will struggle significantly more than they already do if they didn't have that medication.

I guess the comparison would be if someone needed to take steroids just to be able to function in day to day life, would it not be expected that they would be taking it as a student? As an example, should students with muscular atrophy or hormonal issues be prevented from taking steroids because it could potentially give them an advantage in gym class?

Additionally, I know my medication isn't a great match for me but it's the best out of everything I've tried. Maybe in this sense (and since it's a mental/non-physical issue) the better comparison would be to chronic depression and antidepressants. Essentially, to the best of my knowledge the medication I am currently taking works the best for me but it still only gets me 70-80% of the way to where a normal person would be and the side-effects bring me down 10-20% in another way. In the end the medication gets me half way to functional and I have to structure my life around making up that other half. At no point have I ever considered that my medication was giving me an advantage but rather that it lets me just barely see the starting line.
Legally, yes. Functionally, they still work.

No it's not.
What he did was vastly different. He basically got revenue sharing with the vendor - he opened a company and got a certain percentage of profit the vendor made from netflix sent to his company.

In some he personally got shares.

I think they're doing different things. What they have in common is that they both use SMT solvers for automation.

Glancing at the abstract, it seems like Dam, Guanciale and Nemati proved correctness theorems about a tiny hypervisor in ARMv7 assembly, using SMT solvers to automate some of the proof. The C compiler is not involved.

Whereas seL4 is written in C, and the correctness theorems are proved using the C code and the specification. There is a compiler that turns the C code into RISC-V machine code. Then the new tool chain proves the equivalence of the C program and the RISC-V binary emitted by the compiler, using SMT solvers to automate some of that proof.
I’ve seen my youngest sibling do this and I agree it breaks my brain. Can’t imagine you get anything done like that.

A particularly bad instance of link tracking I've found is in TikTok's link sharing feature.

If you share a link from the TikTok app, it gives you a vm.tiktok.com/[xyz] link to send/post elsewhere. It gives you no indication that this isn't a generic link to the post, nor does it give you an option to expose the generic link to the post.

Instead, when you share that link and someone clicks on it and does not have the app, it opens with a header saying "[First Last] is on TikTok." On the other hand, once you do click on that link (if and only if you don't have the app installed), you get redirected to the static link to the video and finally obtain it.

This is an anti-pattern that enables further tracking and potentially unknowingly exposes user data when links are shared publicly. And there's no indication to the user that this is happening, since the link is structured as if it does not contain any tracking. Ie a tool like this wouldn't be able to "strip out" the tracking since it isn't tacked on in any way, but embedded as the generated link itself.

Yes, this is also my experience. In fact, proprietary products are more likely to break because it means the company has to come back to the provider an pay them to have it fixed...

As an antidote to the "nothing is too hard" flex...

Everything has trade-off's. When a responsible person says something is "too hard" it's because they've evaluated the consequences and have deemed them too costly in terms of time, resources, cost, maintenance, or strategy/lost-opportunity. Some things really are "too hard".

I agree it's not too hard technically but am surprised at your contradictory suggestion AWS would deploy "a legion of very smart engineers" to solve it if they decided to implement that ordinary feature. How smart are they?

I suspect the truth here is a bit more ugly. AWS doesn't want to do it because they see the pocket-change taken from accidental mishaps as a net positive. They don't care if it inflicts suffering on students and novices. Sure, they'll fix individual cases if they're shamed publicly or if the individual contacts them in exactly the right way, but at the end of the day, it's more money in their pocket. For every 200 dollar oopsie that gets charged back, how many go silently paid in humiliation and hardship?
Seems like they were just citing anecdata anyway, so calling out a statistical error doesn't seem worthwhile.

I believe their main point is that humans are much more tolerant of latencies than is commonly assumed. I remember reading about Carmack's early work with VR and sensor delays and screen refresh delays on the order of 100ms and as high as 400ms and it still being enjoyable[1]. At 60fps you've got about 16ms per frame to work with, and I'm sure the human mind doesn't need input -> change in image within a single frame (though I'm sure pro gamers would notice).

I even see people using and enjoying shadowpc + vr headsets, where delay between head turn and change in image can be nauseating.
