At my undergrad school, which was pretty open for physical access pre-COVID (who knows what happens now), I'd need to pay for a borrowing card to actually check out a book. And electronic access seems to have been tightened up. You used to be able to access most of their electronic catalog from a public terminal on the local network but you couldn't seem to do that last time I tried maybe about 18 months ago. (It wasn't a big deal so I didn't feel like bothering a librarian.)

And some universities will definitely require ID to enter the library.
This is a great comment. Thank you for taking the time to write it out. Spot on.
They did filter, but the details for that lab showed the country as "Wuhan" and the city as "Chona".
I don't see how "touching prod" has anything to do with the unauthorized use of computer resources.

It is a different location bar for every tab. Try typing some text into it and then switching tab and then back again.

Sigh, Glenn Greenwald is right, it’s only a matter of time before these censorship tools are used on people on the political left. Everyone cheers it now but they don’t seem to realize this will happen to them in the future once the other side controls these tools.
I think you're reacting to me saying "I've never seen ZFS in the wild" as "I've never seen a Solaris box in the wild." It sounds like we can agree that "explode" doesn't really cover the story of ZFS adoption.
From a cursory glance that version while better, looks vulnerable to replay attacks since I don't see any mention of timestamps or MAC

Of course this requires the attacker to purchase at least one license so its a partial victory :^)

I also am in this camp, and used the "compact" UI theme previously. With editing the-

I have the new tab theme, and the compact UI once again.

And if anyone is also trying this route - change `browser.uidensity` to 1 will restore the compact theme.
> Working class shoppers. Sure, it’s elitist, but people like shopping alongside people in their own stratum.

Eh, I think the problem isn't even "lower class" it's "I don't want to shop at a store with a meth lab"[1]

How does walmart begin to fix problems like that? IDK. Even Kmart back in the day didn't have that sort of image problem. Heck, other brands like Kroger or albertsons/safeway don't have that problem. It's a pretty unique problem to the walmart brand.

Oddly enough, Asda (walmart's UK brand name) doesn't have the same image problem. It really is a problem unique to the US walmart brand.

> This POS prosecutor made Aaron to believe that Aaron absolutely have no way out (which not true but this POS don't even care).

How did the prosecutor make Swartz believe that?

Edit: to elaborate, the commentator above is implying that Swartz had a way out that the prosecutor somehow prevented Swartz from finding out about.

I would like to know what that way out was, and how the prosecutor prevented Swartz from finding out about it. Swartz had a legal team defending him who I would have expected to inform him of all his options.
The lamest thing about college bars is it's full of younger kids that don't work. The culture is a lot of "I'm invincible" instead of "I'm just another number." In my experience, people in the former are snobbish and think their shit is really good to eat. The latter is filled with people who lived and just wanna kill time or have a bit of fun.
Yeah... That's very suspicious, not gonna lie.
The 'everything is problematic' critique genre is so boring and tedious and sterile. There's literally no possible original observation left to make. You can write about any element of US history and say it was evil, racist, etc. It was all bad! Unbelievably predictable.
> Hell, I'd pay to have that access

If it's a public university then your tax dollars already do.
Ha! You obviously don’t shop at Wal*Mart. It’s the working class for whomever is in the vicinity. In many places this is poor white people, in other places it’s a mix.
It must be so nice being a corporation and saying "oops, our bad, we'll get right on it" instead of going straight to prison if I were to personally defraud a state of so much money.
I was just thinking of the extremely litigation happy culture in the US. We literally have thousands of highway signs in cities saying that if you were in an accident, call us and we'll sue the person who rear ended you.

All I imagine is someone running their own firmware on an appliance, doing some unseen damage, and then reverting to the onboard firmware and getting hurt. It would be a field day for lawyers.

I completely agree that this sucks and it's the same reason robotics has proceeded at a snail's pace. God forbid making a Roomba with a more powerful vacuum, what if it ran over someone's toe.
I think a big part of the problem here is that our computers, and the associated data they collect, are part of our extended brains. They're not record players, hotel registers, or any other metaphor society or our legal system has used in the past. It's virtually as if you could take part of your brain out and hand it to somebody, perhaps to whistle a tune you remember from school or recount that chat you had with your previous SO.

It's not okay to take a person and hold them against their will, even if they've signed some sort of agreement. Indentured servitude and slavery are considered non-viable business arrangements. No matter what I promise you or what our trade-off is, these contracts cannot exist.

I think the only way this reasonably ends is when the rest of society catches up to that conclusion. It might be a while, though. I honestly don't think most people _want_ to know what's going on, since it's quite frightening and there's nothing they can do about it. This is going to have to get more and more stressful to the average citizen until most folks realize what kind of world we've crept into.
> Affirmative action and other “right ideas” like this can only result in corruption and racial tensions.

This is a no-win scenario: Apartheid was affirmative action for a minority, it resulted in corruption and racial tensions, to put it lightly. There was a government-mandated floor on how poor white people could be - for instance, the starting position for white people in factories and mines were supervisor-/manager-level, regardless of their skill or education. It was verboten for a black person to have a white report.

Apartheid lasted for most of the 20th century, at at the end of the day, you have 2 options, both 'unfair': maintain the status quo or try to make things more equitable. Which would you have chosen?
Ending the data economy means ending inference. Most of the examples listed in the opening paragraph are not direct measurements, but mundane behavior that can associated with something interesting. I don’t think stopping inference is possible (or a good idea!), but it is easy to subvert and reign in, at least online.

Simply letting your browser emulate the browsing habits of a wide variety of people could knock down your uniqueness if done in bulk. I’m pretty sure there was a chrome extension a while ago that browsered major sites to obfuscate your actual traffic. I also like the EFF’s panopticon if you’d like to see some real value uniqueness scores.
Hopefully Dang can sticky this for a bit to make up for the lost time.
I noticed you left out AM radio and a host of newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch. A bunch of those other sources bend over backwards to carry a both sides narrative to nobody’s benefit.

Facebooks top groups are all conservative. I realize that they end up getting a lot of attention for the spread of misinformation and getting moderated into oblivion for it, but Facebook is a huge hub of conservative influence as the past two elections cycles pretty much demonstrated.

This is why I don’t hold conversations online. I had other points that weren’t worth addressing apparently and this isn’t really going to lead anywhere so good luck to you.

I rather like this simile. Kudos!
There is an inevitability of multinationals in bowing to censorship. Many see cracking the Chinese market as the white whale. Censorship costs a drop in the bucket compared to the profits that can be made, they’ll fight tooth and nail on taxes and general business regulation but won’t give a damn for censorship.

Quite frankly I doubt even western outrage would matter, in 5 minutes everyone has already moved onto the next story.
It really was. There was also vibrant adjoining professional community.

It’s part of why I find it so sad that the moderation here is abhorrent; strongly emphasizing social cohesion amongst a specific group over much more valuable principles.
Look up DNS poisoning, spoofing, ISP manipulation, etc. There have been quite a few attacks on it.

Maybe "flaky" is a bit too strong of a term. It generally works I guess.

The main advantage blockchain offers is not really within the realm of getting the right answer to a DNS query, it's more to do with giving the owner of the domain name 100% control of the domain through cryptography and smart contracts. This also makes the process of domain transfer a lot more efficient, cutting out the need for middlemen like Godaddy, etc.

Exactly this. And, of course in practice, it's also the OS, firmware and so much more.

Your comment speaks to exactly how people underestimate the true attack surface. It's far more vast than most anticipate, and their conception of it tends heavily towards the literal surface.

Ask HN: Need help finding a specific HN article
I need help finding an article posted on HN in the beginning of this year. Probably it was on the first page. Also it could be a top comment in some "Ask HN" thread.

I don't remember title/site/author, but I remember what is it about. I have searched HN (site search, DDG, etc.) and all my bookmarks and browsing history for hours but still can't find it.

The article was a blog of some person describing how he set up a system to backup all their browsing history, chats, bookmarks, etc. The post included an image showing the architecture of all this. As I can remember he was backing up telegram chats to SQLite database for example. The author also mentioned that all this system took him a long time to create.

Thank you very much in advance!
I'm skeptical about academia being capable to help shell evolve. The paper is a good example why - they focus on justifying themselves and then on obscure academic ideas they like to pursue (POSIX formalization, highly parallel data processing) rather than usability for most users. Sometimes these align, but most of the time they don't.

Your description of Elvish is much better in that respect. I'd love more capable shell with modern advancements like types and static checking. However, I don't get why structured data over pipelines is useful. You can already exchange any kind of data over pipeline as string of bytes. Sender and receiver have to be aware of the format in any case.

> the researchers had engineered mice with humanized lungs

What in the world does that mean?!
It doesn't fit my workflow. I open almost every link in a new tab and if I'm doing research that can be a lot of tabs. I don't want to spend any time organizing these temporary tabs; I just want a way to quickly see and move between them.

If you use a lot of tabs in most browsers, the tabs end up being just tiny icon-sized. That's no good. I also don't want to go through another layer to find them.

The rise of remote work is 100% misunderstood. Good software engineers can work anymore but I haven't met many engineers that can mentor well remotely.

If you're Netflix or Google and can afford to only hire senior engineers it's fine to let everyone work from home. Most organizations need to organically level up talent via mentorship and in house training.

Basically, work is going to get more flexible but the idea that nobody ever needs to interact with humans in real life again is insanity. People may spend fewer days in the office but in the end, most of us will be back in offices at least a few times a week.

Tons of people are getting rich off that, and tons of people are being elected for the office. Military spending is one of the biggest government welfare programs in USA.

Maybe. Living in Boulder, which has both a university and tourism, downtown got pretty gutted by COVID, and like probably everywhere, small local businesses are being replaced with chains (that was already happening). And it was already very difficult to live in the same city you work in (or really go to school in - people commute just to work on their undergrad), if you're in the service industry as you weren't given a living wage to do so in a city that's so expensive. That does take us to the present day problem of pressure from employers to actually do that.

Not to be too finger pointy, but the influx of Googlers and similar ilk isn't helping with scarcity of places to live or the skyrocketing price of rentals and buying a home. Double so that Boulder has a very problematic occupancy limit of three unrelated people that may live in a house (even if that house has 5 bedrooms).

These problems aren't specific to Boulder, but the Uni and tourism aren't shielding it from these problems. It's not assembly plants and call centers, but it's Uber driving and Amazon Prime delivery.

This poster is being unfairly downvoted. Having a college in your city does not make your city a “college town” by the colloquial definition most people would use in casual conversation. The term is generally reserved for cities that only exist outside of the rural land around them because of the state university that got placed there.

No one would ever refer to Miami Florida as a college town despite there being a major university, USF, there. Same with Tampa Florida where UCF is. But Gainesville, where UF is, would be a giant watermelon farm if the college wasn’t there so it’s referred to as a college town.

Observations about the nearest Wal-Mart:

1) All the employees look sad, all he time.

2) They've obviously carefully tuned their check out staffing so that the lines are always long. This is such a constant that it has to be intentional, and they're doing a good job of it.

3) Sometimes they attempt to check receipts at exit. I don't get that at any other non-membership store.

4) All the shoppers look sad.

5) It's the only place I know where I am 100% guaranteed to smell both strong cigarette odor and way too-strong perfume application multiple times per visit.

6) The shoppers are uniquely talentless when it comes to existing in space without being in others' way. I don't see this anywhere else. It always feels 3x as busy as it is both because they cram the aisles full of crap, and because no-one knows how to walk or stand without being in the way. It's bizarre.

7) The most prominently-placed thing on entering the building is a row of gambling machines. I shit you not. They're directly ahead, and you have to veer right to enter the actual shopping area. That definitely sets a tone.

Most of these are true at any other Wal-Mart I visit. I avoid them most of the time, despite their having much lower prices than, say, target. The visits take longer and are miserable. Their weird interior color choices (WTF is up with that dirty-looking orangey-yellow?!) and something they do with the lighting (can't put my finger on it, it's just drab and dingy) make it even worse.

I'm about 90% sure that Wal-Mart didn't used to be this gross and unpleasant.
Also, odds are a lot of it is going to be grass if they are regularly cut. Grass is really good at being dominant when cut.

I see a further class divide between people who work from home and those that need to work at a place, either blue collar or service jobs or white collar jobs that require some public interaction (banks, teaching, etc.). This isn't a reason not to shift to remote work, it's just a problem we need to be aware will occur. Workplaces will divide along "office" and "home" lines (they already are, in my observation, with a fair amount of resentment tied in on both sides), and service jobs will shift to where people are living.

I'm loving the UI refresh!

I was waiting for some days of use to make my opinion. My _personal_ experience was great! All feels more cohesive and friendly.

And seeing all the styles and components making sense together, I think that this is the start of a good direction. Is a measured refresh, not a change of paradigm or something like that, a good decision of the design team.

I understand the backlash that UI changes has on users, sometimes is justified, sometimes is Old Man Yells at Cloud.

This new look and experience is also good to compete with Chrome and Edge, a design that works well but _also_ looks attractive for the times, is a way to get new users.

Good work Firefox team!
