Based on Snowden's stories you can assume that they went ahead as fbi/CIA national security threat which could mean fast access to isps and using zero days they do have.

I agree! That's why I watch sports too. But the same arguments you're seeing about X privilege today will come into discussion once genetic editing is more advanced. Instead of rich parents paying for SAT prep, they'll be paying for brain power, height, etc.

Whether your parents paid for it you were born with it, you didn't earn it. We need to re assess why privilege is a bad thing or we need to get ready for an interesting future.

I see it this way:

3 days off / 4 days work = 3/4 = 0.75

2 days off / 5 days work = 2/5 = 0.4

So with a 4 day work week you can nearly double the ratio of free days to work days for only a fifth of your salary.

The arguments back and forth on this are always interesting to me.

I don't particularly care either way since I've been work from home for the last 15 years. All I can say is that working from home during the pandemic isn't the same as normal times. Even if you don't have kids at home, there's a huge difference between working from home and staying at home all day long every day, versus going out for lunches (especially with friends), dinners, doing things on weekends, etc.

I'm lucky enough to live in a suburb and have nice walking trails that I could use that were pretty much empty during this whole thing - for much lunch break I regularly eat lunch and take a small walk along a creek. Or take a quick dip in my swimming pool. I've had it a lot better than some of my friends in larger cities that felt like they could go practically nowhere and do almost nothing.
No, it's worse. People will have very different expectations. Running 'make install' especially as root implies a high level of trust, so users will be appropriately cautious. Users won't expect that simply opening code in an editor will be similarly risky (though it's similar to malicious Word and Excel macros, Office now disables those by default for documents coming from an untrusted source, like via email).

The more charitable take on this is that if one system is compromised, there's a high chance others may be, so if you have safety-critical systems and you're not absolutely certain they were properly air-gapped from the compromised system, shutting them down may be the safest course of action.

In truth both factors probably played a role in this case, perhaps also with a hefty dose of "our software literally can't run if billing is down because it was never designed to handle that".

I can't find anything in your link about presidential apologies. The judge in his case apologised:

Lee pleaded guilty to one felony count of illegal "retention" of "national defense information." In return, the government released him from jail and dropped the other 58 counts against him. Judge Parker apologized to Dr. Lee for the unfair manner in which he was treated. The judge also regretted being misled by the executive branch into ordering Dr. Lee's detention, stating that he was led astray by the Department of Justice, by its FBI, and by its United States attorney. He formally denounced the government for abuse of power in its prosecution of the case.[20][21][22] Later, President Bill Clinton remarked that he had been "troubled" by the way Dr. Lee was treated.[23][24][25][26]

> You're missing a zero in that RTT for users in places like Asia if your server is anywhere in the west.

Well, it does say 130 ms in here: https://www.quora.com/How-long-would-it-take-for-light-to-fl...

And that's around the planet, to go around and end up at the same spot. In practice, with sanely-configured routes, your packets should never need to traverse more than half that distance. So, divide it by 2, then that cancels out because RTT is a measure of how long it takes for a signal to travel back and forth. You then add some time on top of that to account for buffering and processing in the various equipment along the way.

> These are unavoidable and occur often in more than just websites, but anything that e.g. uses HTTP as an API (a very simple one is something like recursively downloading dependencies.)

If you mean REST API requests, the kind that trigger some code to dynamically generate a response, how would a CDN solution like cloudflare help? The request still needs to get to the server and the response still needs to come back, all the way, because that's where that code runs. CDNs only really work for cacheable static content, don't they? I mean it's in the name.

A blog or a news website certainly doesn't need a CDN.

That’s nothing to do with the Finder, but rather with how macOS discovers app-bundle file association claims through Spotlight. It applies equally to files opened through CLI open(1).

(Hint: if you downloaded the app from a website/through Homebrew, try opening the app itself once. It’s probably quarantined. Spotlight ignores quarantined things until you vouch for them. This is also why you won’t find the app in a search until you open it.)
I have 14 pinned, those are tools I use at least daily at work.

How do you open these pinned ones? I used to do this as well, but since browsers got better at fuzzy matching (or whatever it is called) in the address bar I figured this keyboard-only approach gets me to commonly visited sites faster. Ctrl-T (or Alt-D to reuse current tab), yc, Enter -> I end up on this site.
I completely agree with everything you said.

That said, the most effective defense I've seen for the seemingly incoherently cautious status quo approach is that the medical community doesn't operate on the span of one pandemic, but is rather in a perpetual struggle. So even if the short-term expected value of an excessively cautious approach is negative, resulting in more deaths and a longer pandemic, it might be outweighed by reducing the chance of damaging public faith in medicine long-term by an erroneous more aggressive move.

I still don't agree, but that very long-term view is the only defense I see for the approach given what we knew at the time.

That's just the luck of the draw, though. Yellow Fever happens to be amenable to life-long immunity. COVID (may) not be.

Had the situation been reversed, you'd have had to get Yellow Fever vaccinations a lot more often if you were travelling into those regions, and the COVID situation would be one-and-done. It just happens that this is the way it worked out, instead. There's nothing dystopian about this.

I disagree. This keyboard has programmable layers that can be switched between quite easily. For instance, I have a whole layer for greek characters because I use them a lot whilst programming.

You do not have to be as you have described yourself. You do not have to rely on caffeine, thc, or alcohol. This is the practice of sobriety, which is followed by many. You can learn to be at peace with your own mind. You do not have to have to follow any social media. Many do not and billions could not in the past. Of what you listed, I use only HN, and that only to distract me at work. You do not have to be connected to dopamine goggles from <company>, you can be entertained by your own imagination, by the allure of the world, by the beauty of the people around you.

You do not have to feel that you cannot live without pharmaceuticals.

The entire point of such vaccinations would be to prevent another major shutdown from a new coronavirus outbreak, and thus avoid a much larger issue when trying to cross borders. The expectation is nobody is going to care much if people get the next shot anymore than they do about the annual flu vaccine because significant herd immunity will be in play.

The only way that changes is if some new and extremely deadly variant is out there, but again past vaccinations are likely still helpful. Thus, regular vaccination deployment would be a pure win for travelers.

Thank you, this is an example of '90s-style C++, serving as a nice contrast to modern C++. Nowadays we would write

struct Point {
double x{}, y{}; // zero-initialization
};

int main() {
Point p; // ok, {0.0, 0.0}
...
p = Point{}; // no need for a "reset"
}

It has been literal decades since anyone competent would have made a Point derived with virtuals, or have written so much code to achieve so little. (You might see stuff like that at Google.) You can write bad code in any language, but if you have to do extra work to make bad code, it is not tempting.
Sci-Hub is not "A website" though. It's a archive, archive of scientific papers that can be served by a static file server, IPFS or torrents. Have the DOI be the filename of the paper, and now you even have a DOI-lookup functionality in your static file server.

Sure, you could do that over IPFS. But if you really want scale, censorship-resistance and wide-spread usage/storing of it, you'll use torrents (today, maybe future will be different)

Actually it has, at least, it is one way the introduction of new laws in jurisdictions is opposed. There is research to suggest that mandatory cycle-helmet laws discourage healthful recreational cycling and commuting, and this has been used to suggest that the laws would ultimately be counterproductive from a public-health perspective.

This has nothing to do with logic. It's a knee-jerk reaction, and the pro-Brexit propaganda played it hard (alongside other similar arguments).
IMO terrorism is a "waffle word" that doesn't really have any meaning anymore. Originally a use of violence and intimidation against civilians in pursuit of political ideology, it's come to mean "people we don't like, who aren't state actors and don't fit conventional organized crime narratives."

I don't think it's necessary to staple the term to the action in order to take it seriously. It should, however, be taken seriously as the national security threat it is. For instance, climate change is a national security issue but oil executives, while distasteful, aren't terrorists.

I agree that many folks in the tech community (and especially here, though I don't know if they're overrepresented here) treat technology as platonic. That's not going to cut it moving forward. Technology that enables bad things in the world should be curtailed even if its "neat."

Depends what you mean by "little". At the start of the year, if not the end of 2020, there were studies showing the prevailing effectiveness with delays on the second shot so it was pretty clear where the trend was.

And then, merely hours ago, they decided because of the Indian variant they'd instead change the recommendation from 12 weeks to 8. So, at least in my opinion, it's a bit of a random walk down statistics street.
