That configuration is more typically referred to as a bastion server (or bastion host, per Wikipedia).

Access between network segments, or to a protected host, is through a single specifically-hardened host. Through network traffic (natting or bridging) is typically disabled or at least not provided by default, though in practice, it's challenging to entirely prevent tunelling.

But no, it is not an air-gapped system. Likely a journalistic compromise as "bastion host" is a less familiar term to the public.

Rural areas are pretty similar.

Just fewer people. Trailer parks instead of projects. Same crime, same misery.

The stuff that shocks the soul is a small fraction of the struggle and misery.
Again, I don't think you speak for all "reasonable readers". I have seen plenty of disclosures on this site, and I think that should be the default.
Is this news to anyone? I travel a lot, and for a time I used AirBnB a lot. Sometimes it's really great, sometimes it is mediocre, and sometimes it is downright awful. And God help you if the host doesn't live up to their obligation: contacting AirBnB support is useless. Do they specially require applicants for customer support to be brain-injured?

At some point a few years ago I realized that if I stayed exclusively in Bonvoy/Marriott hotels, I could quickly get the highest status. I've been platinum with Bonvoy for several years now. Now they give me room upgrades, free breakfast, extra free nights, bonus points, executive lounge access, guaranteed late checkout, etc. And when you call them, someone picks up the phone and solves the problem. (Not that there is much to complain about it: they normally get it right the first time.)

I will never use AirBnB again.
I don't get much time to work out but I wake up, do some minor bodyweight stuff, shower, get on with day.

For me, it helps to consistently do it every day (mostly) rather than a few times a week.
It's useless until it's not. Something like it is necessary on Windows.

The naming is pretty off though. "Responder" would be a better name than "Defender".

At a high level we all know that it's theoretically impossible to detect all unknown "malicious" software ahead of time, by inspection.

Defender also necessarily acts as an "oracle", if you're writing malicious software you have the ability to keep trying different things until Defender doesn't complain about what you're doing.

However, once some specific malicious software has been identified, a fleet-wide response is necessary and at that point "Defender" has some use.
NIA is set up to investigate political opponents by the BJP. NIA's investigation is simple retaliation for humanitarian support provided by Khalsa aid to farmers protesting all over India.
You say "Many we know in our town have to pay for this. How sad." but then you go own to observe that "If you join this ministry you essentially get a 'tax' each month".

So it's not that you didn't pay for it - you did, and continue to. But your support is contingent on following the rules of the community and maintaining your welcome, while the irreligious people in Portland had a more straightforward transaction.
>Arduino?

Largely our own SoC based on Nvidia's Jetson platform. I'm not sure what you mean by the "reality of the situation". macOS is UNIX based platform and, unless you are doing kernel work, I find that doing work on macOS is pretty much what you would expect if you were using a BSD based platform. I'm not sure what limitations there would be that you wouldn't find on Windows or even a separate distro. In fact I'd rather be working on an aarch64 MacBook if I was targeting an aarch64 cloud.

>I have a high degree of skepticism. 0 Macs out of 6 companies, yet you say they are abundant? Doubt.

I'm only speaking of Silicon Valley tech companies. I'm sure a F500 like Target or American Airlines wouldn't want to spend as much on developer hardware.
Entropy is a poor way to detect cryptolockers. For example, many OSes encrypt user data in software (ntfs has "encrypt" built in and is it commonly used).

SSD firmware is simply NOT the place to do this. This is the same reason we do not implement HTML parsers in the kernel or javascript runtimes in BIOS. Too high level of a concept in too low level of a place

I have pretty devoutly hated celebrity my entire life, but in recent years I've come to realize that the real "job" of these kinds of "celebrity for celebrity's sake" types is pretty simple:

1. Be society's mirror

2. Be society's punching bag

The Kardashians obviously fill both of these jobs. I don't think it's fair to say they're above reproach – in fact, I hear tons of criticism of them any time their names are brought up around me. They're hardly taboo to criticize.

All of that said, I still think you're 100% right that we shouldn't stop people from hating on them. If we take these two "jobs" away from these sorts of celebrities, then at that point they become actually pointless. As much as I'd like to live in a world without them, at least for now the Kardashians and others are serving their purpose – provoking conversation about what we value as a society.

For some folks, lionizing the Kardashians is a way of saying what they think "perfection" (physically/financially/socially/some or all of the above) looks like in America right now. Others want to look at them and see everything that is wrong with us. For as much as I agree with the idea that criticism of celebrities is fundamental to their role in society, I think it's important to not lose sight of the fact that celebrity has a real social function.
While the fifth amendment in the US is certainly a good principle, even it doesn't (currently) appear to provide a blanket protection against providing your passwords. My (likely incomplete) understanding of the current situation is that things are still ambiguous with many nuances not yet having been settled by the courts.

On the one hand, there is federal precedent (https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca3/17...) that the government must be able to demonstrate both that the defendant knows the password and that criminal evidence is known to exist on the device. The bar for both of these things appears to be fairly high.

On the other hand, there is precedent at the state level in Pennsylvania (https://law.justia.com/cases/pennsylvania/supreme-court/2019...) that disclosure of passwords is testimonial in nature and therefore always (I think?) protected, even if you admit both to knowing the password and to the existence of criminal evidence.

Note the different jurisdictions for the precedents here. In federal courts that fall under the third circuit (which includes Pennsylvania), the first one applies. In state courts within Pennsylvania, the second one applies. This oddity won't change until and unless the US Supreme Court chooses to hear a relevant case. So in Pennsylvania, the law is currently different depending on if the FBI or the local police is the one prosecuting you.

Also note that from the first case, failure to provide the password is a form of civil contempt and therefore confinement is limited to 18 months at most.
So, if I understand the article, the possible medical effect of this specific thing is to change LDL cholesterol levels.

Doesn't seem like that would solve any huge health problem, but the proof of concept that you can edit DNA in the liver fairly freely should be enormously fruitful
I agree it's "obvious" that it's the "next big step". And I'm saying that's the problem.

Obviousness is a feeling people have about ideas in their head. Feelings can be useful or misleading. Every single person who got behind previous generations of 3D thought that it was "obviously" the next step. Many thousands of people had that feeling each time, buying in to a new platform. Great sums of money were invested by smart execs. All of those people were wrong each time. All of them. That you have the same feeling is not proof that it will be different this time. Indeed, the history suggests you should distrust that feeling.

Color video is a great example, so thanks for bringing it up. Color TV and color movies were quickly and widely adopted despite the extra cost and complexity. But 3D movies and TV have failed. Wearing a pair of glasses is not a major burden; 64% of Americans do it every day. Millions of people tried 3D movies and gave a collective shrug. The pretty obvious lesson to learn from those waves is that people are drawn to the concept but actually do not care in practice once the novelty wears off.

Another way to look at it is that people don't even care about stereoscopic vision much in actual life. Humans have a lot of mechanisms for extracting spatial information from the world, and the stereo-ness of it doesn't matter much. About 10% of people don't have it; they can still drive just fine. My grandfather, for example, was blinded in one eye as a kid, and nobody ever noticed. You can try it yourself; go out for a walk and keep one eye closed. Your 3D perception will be basically unaffected except for relatively close objects.

So sure, as I've said repeatedly, anything can happen. I'm just saying there is good reason to believe this will not happen, and excellent reason to not just assume it will. To see this not as a technological problem, but a problem of demand.

As to citations, I'm not sure what you're looking for. I've mentioned the Brewster Stereoscope twice in this thread. Ditto the ViewMaster. What do you need that isn't in the first page of Google results for those?
That's a fair distinction.

I still like Linux "helping out" RISC-V standardization by separating the unratified extensions --- traditionally the hardware is fait accompli and Linux is the agile software playing catch up but with something like RISC-V the roles are somewhat reversed --- but I fully grant that's separate to the purpose of staging as you say.
Hey HN! My name Alex and I'm the founder of Wonder Interactive here, we're developing a web-based social platform called VRland.

Another developer and I started building VRland because we're passionate about virtual worlds that mirror our society. It's 2021 and the barrier to entry is still high - you need to know how to code/use a game engine like Unity/Unreal. So we thought, what if you could talk the world-building aspects of Minecraft or Second Life, and bring them a universal platform like the web?

The idea is that now anyone can create an immersive 3D/VR space with our easy to use editor, without needing to know how to code. We've been compared to VRchat, but in the browser.

You can customize your space by uploading images, videos, gifs, models, or even MP3 files into your spaces.

In times like this where we can't be together, virtual worlds have succeeded in bringing us together. Animal Crossing has been used for business meetings, and Fortnite has held immersive concerts that don't require a real life stage an audience. Personally, we believe we're in the early innings of the metaverse, but the platform that will succeed will focus on providing the best tools for user-generated content, while being universally accessible and platform-agnostic.
> OSX is a different abstraction layer from processor architecture.

It is, but it introduces enough differences that you're not "at home"; indeed I'd say OSX-to-Linux is a bigger difference for development than x86-to-ARM.
If pip had native IPFS support, you could do that by just pinning the packages you use on the local node.

You could also have an IPFS gateway with just normal HTTP(S) access control techniques and a normal pip, deferring to the swarm for packages that you haven't pinned. It's unhealthy for the swarm to stop your node from sharing it's data with other nodes, as that'd loose the Torrent swarm effects that unload the initial uploader (PyPI).

Yes, the raptor thing seemed a bit fishy to me back then as well, especially since they're a non-free third party.

Happy that they got rid of it, but there was quite a bit of community pushback needed.
I wonder what the results would be if all the optimizations were applied except for the security-related mitigations, which were left enabled.
That's fascinating. I know there's a lot of variation in how "strong" Irish accents can be, but when listening to someone from Dublin, sometimes it takes me, as a native English speaker with a slight Philadelphia accent, multiple sentences to realize they're not American. The giveaway will usually be a word beginning with voiceless th, like "three", which most Irish people pronounce like "tree".

> Try arguing a point rather than coming from a place of emotion.

Arguing that someone with a disability should support this because they might benefit, without reason or evidence for that, is an appeal (only) to emotion.

I find it ableist, to use disabled people as an abstract hypothetical grouping in this way, only to support a point that is indefensible any other way.

If you don't want me to have an emotional reaction, don't set up an emotive point.
This isn't a statement from a big corporation, though. This is a statement from employees of the big corporation (presumably all of whom feel comfortable leaving on a moment's notice) to the corporation.

Companies have long known that making your customers happy involves retaining skilled employees, and that incurring extra costs to keep skilled employees happy is worthwhile for the business. Sometimes that involves paying them well. Sometimes that involves putting San Pellegrino in the fridge. And sometimes that requires boycotting the State of Israel.
Simply not true.

Oh wow, yeah my first mobile game studio had a huge industrial fastener shelf with little drawers stuffed with different phones. We started in 2004, and feature phone game dev was indeed wild. We did a lot of WWE games in 2d and 3d, needing ~15 different reference builds ranging from 64k 2d builds to 800k 3d for high end, plus another set for all the BREW devices. Managing code, asset pipelines, and qa across high/med/low 2d/3d Java/cpp permutations was a huge challenge, but it was so satisfying to be good at. I love what mobile has turned into, and never want to debug another random c crash on device ever again, but I do miss the cabinet of phones and all the crazy variation
Yes, and my assumption is that light-years long jets of plasma shot out both ends of a black hole will be fairly unobtainable in any practical way. At the same time, the energy levels involved would be massively useful if they could be harnessed. So, we have a potentially valuable resource that is difficult-to-impossible to obtain. Pretty much the canonical use of the term unobtainium. So my post was a bit snarky, but also likely accurate
I was very happy to see "aerosols are physically defined as airborne solid or liquid particles with diameters smaller than 100 μm" as opposed to the bad 5 μm definition that caused so much trouble.

The same Apple employees who got a petition together to get a Jewish employee, Anthony Garcia Martinez, who is unashamed of his support of Israel, fired? (I'll bet you wondered why he wasn't given consideration as a "latinx" employee. It's because he's Jewish.)

As Martinez said to Apple, "This will be your life now every week."

DHH's retelling of the incident is less bad than some others made it sound, yes. (Although I wouldn't necessarily assume his account is entirely accurate or includes all relevant context either!)

But even taking it entirely at face value, I think he clearly describes a poorly handled situation. It wasn't the right time to be having that argument, he wasn't the right person to be doing it, it wasn't the right venue for it, and I don't think the way his argument was made or framed was at all helpful.

Because what seems to have happened is something like:

Employee: Hey, event X was super, super bad!

DHH: Well, it wasn't that bad. Medium bad, at most.

Employee: How can you be defending event X?

Was DHH right? ...maybe. Again, we're lacking a ton of context. But let's assume he's correct in every regard! By jumping in, now he's on the side of saying that event X was relatively good. He is, objectively, defending it. And to what end? He's the CTO; he can win the argument. What does he get for winning?

Why not, I dunno, nod, agree, and then implement some new policies around preventing event X, where the policies are based on the idea that event X is only medium bad, not super bad?

Much of what makes this so dumb is that it's all so needless. You suggest DHH was trying to teach the person something; maybe that should be taught in a 1:1 with their manager or HR? You suggest DHH's alternative was firing them on the spot, how about "starting a process that leads to the employee being let go three months from now"?

You - and DHH - seem to feel like this was some sort of crisis that required immediate, public action. I remain mystified why that seemed relevant. None of the goals that DHH has claimed to have, or that his defenders have imputed to him, seem to require (or to have been achieved) by the actions he took here.

TL;DR: A manager's goal (especially a C-level exec or a co-founder) shouldn't be to win arguments, it should be to achieve organisational goals. These actions did not achieve any obvious organisational goals, and I cannot believe a reasonable observer would have predicted they would achieve any goals. Therefore, I label it a failure. Thus, for ethical and practical reasons, I would tend to avoid a company that seems so poorly led.

As a New Yorker, I'd agree with you. My anecdata is that the activists are generally the most productive and engaged employees. Yours, I guess, is otherwise. We should just put this to the test - the activist leave the professional centrists alone, the professional centrists leave the activists alone, and we see who's better for business.

"Western Man towers over the rest of the world in ways so large as to be almost inexpressible. It's Western exploration, science, and conquest that have revealed the world to itself. Other races feel like subjects of Western power long after colonialism, imperialism and slavery have disappeared. The charge of racism puzzles whites who feel not hostility, but only baffled good will, because they don't grasp what it really means: humiliation. The white man presents an image of superiority even when he isn't conscious of it. And superiority excites envy. Destroying white civilization is the inmost desire of the league of designated victims we call 'minorities.'"

Add the fact that white liberals are the only self-hating group [1], and we get modern leftism and the narrative they're trying to push.

I would also love to see that dhclient issue resolved upstream, or at least a cleaner way to work around it. But we should also be mindful that for most workloads the impact is probably way, way less.

"Some people with swine flu travelled on a plane from New York to China, and many fellow passengers got infected. Some researchers looked at whether passengers who wore masks throughout the flight stayed healthier. The answer was very much yes. They were able to track down 9 people who got sick on the flight and 32 who didn’t. 0% of the sick passengers wore masks, compared to 47% of the healthy passengers. Another way to look at that is that 0% of mask-wearers got sick, but 35% of non-wearers did."

By standard I mean cookie cutter: org charts, spending and strategy for targeted ads, trade show marketing, sales pipelines. With slight variations for target market/vertical.
