> How come criminals didn't ... ahem ... invest in their own communication platform?

They did.

The thing with criminals is that that they have a built-in pressure point against which law enforcement can apply leverage, so when your platform for criminal communication is owned by other criminals, you risk the criminal platform operator being flipped against the criminal platform users, with the platform then being covertly owned by law enforcement.

Now, you may ask, why didn't each criminal network invest in developing the capacity for its own covert communication platform. And that's a good question, but I’m going to suggest that an important use case of covert communication systems i orgabized crime is communication between criminal organizations that have loose and shifting connections.
That would be great. A few months ago in our (biophysics-ish) lab, I set up Grafana and InfluxDB to display output from some of our equipment during experiments as a bit of a gimmick, since I had just figured out how to extract real-time data from the machines and had used Grafana for monitoring my own servers. But rather than remaining a gimmick, while at times we've run into cases that feel a bit outside of Grafana's intended use, it has actually become our preferred way of watching the experiments, and far more useful than the manufacturer's software. With buttons and an ability to include some basic control interfaces, Grafana could well replace our everyday need for the manufacturer's software entirely.
Yeah. The function in question is called in only one place. It would seem you’d need to send the web server more than a size_t of data for this to be an issue.

> SALT deductions are a massive tax break for the wealthy.

How?

The point of being able to deduct state and local taxes from federal ones is to devolve power to as local a level of government as possible. You've already paid the local authorities some taxes, so now you owe the federal government less.

SALT limits do the opposite of that.
- While storage is part of the infrastructure, it not the solution -> Not feasible for a large set of energy sources and often falls to the same pitfalls of bringing new power online (remoteness, capacity, etc..).

- Actually Bitcoin mining is being adopted by renewable providers as very good solution to offset intermittence and wasted excess.

- Further something like Natural gas flaring is something that cannot be stored but can largely routed through mining setups. Which is being adopted at scale.

I know runners high. But running isn't(wasn't) my main thing, that would be bicycling. Anyway, long ago I had a very broken upper arm which made running unenjoyable. At the time I had a prescription for time released/retarded Tramadolhydrochloride which is a mild Opioid, not something like Fentanyl, or such.

One day I felt the urge to run and popped a pill in preparation, which kicks in after about half an hour. Where kicks in means pain is gone like a switch is thrown, and not much else, maybe a feeling of relaxation, but that may have been just because the pain was gone?

So I've been ready, and then a thunderstorm started. That was unexpected, because the weather was fine, and then suddenly it wasn't anymore. Whatever, didn't want to have taken the pill for nothing, and went out to run in spite of the rain.

Along one side of the mountains forming a valley, on a path through a pine forest above the train tracks curving along the mountain above the little valley.

Soaked, but so what? It was warm summer rain. I could see down to the train tracks, between 50 to 150meters away(that varied)

And then the lightnings really started. It came to mind that it wouldn't be a good idea to be out there, so exposed, during that much lightning, maybe even suicidal. I coldly calculated that all the trees there made much better lightning rods than me, and ran on.

While doing that I saw dozens of lightnings hitting the tracks
and their electrification/overhead wire and masts, again and again.

Like in some crazy movie-fx/CGI. Because I perceived it in slow motion, white-blue-violet-purple colored, branching apart, similar to the roots of a tree, but not. And the thundering, even the echoes giving you light full body slaps.

While on the usual runners high, feeling light, flying.

This went on for maybe 10km over half an hour, then I had to turn back because end of way. Well, not exactly, but no more forest, and I don't like to run in urban areas between housing and traffic.

So, for me the kind of drugs I took just intensified that and I'd agree with you regarding the similarity of experience.

But there are other drugs working differently, there are other people reacting different to some(or all?) drugs than others, and there are (supposedly?) different 'neuro-architectures' ('wiring of the brain') resulting in different sensibilities on a spectrum/scale from something vague to something vague :-)

Jesus Christ, that is an atrocity. Thank you for digging out that one.

But what I wonder... is this a result of the welfare policy you mentioned, or rather a result of way too many Black fathers ending up in prison, gangs or dead as a result of "selective enforcement" and other abuses of police power?
Steampipe automatically installs and manages an embedded Postgres instance for you. It's shocking how lightweight that is - another way in which Postgres is awesome.

Running "steampipe query" will start and run embedded Postgres for the duration of the session. Using "steampipe service start" will run it in the background for access from your favorite 3rd party SQL tool.

In addition to the other excellent recommendations here, I'd suggest the work of Jerry Weinberg. He wrote 'An Introduction to General Systems Thinking,' and he applied systems thinking in the work that he did. The two works that come to mind in view of your question are 'How To Become a Technical Leader', focused on the individual manager and their team, and the four-volume 'Quality Software Management', focused on both the manager and the organization.
Shameless Plug: I wrote a cli-plugin for docker, docker-lock, to solve the mutable tag problem without having to manually specify hashes - https://github.com/safe-waters/docker-lock

It creates a Lockfile (think package-lock.json) that tracks the image digests (sha256 hashes) of your base images, so you will always know exactly which images you are using even if you only specify tags. This way, you can know if a base image has changed, yet still receive important security updates that you would not receive if you hardcode the digest. It supports any registry, so is useful even if you are not using Dockerhub. It also works with Dockerfiles, docker-compose files, and Kubernetes manifests.

I hope anyone dealing with this issue finds it helpful :)
> You basically stick to writing pure functional components focused only on how to render

If you’re using hooks like useState or useEffect I wouldn’t consider those functional components pure.

Hooks provide some nice syntactic sugar, which is not nothing, and make it easier to share logic between components. In my experience hooks have made my code easier to read, but they haven’t simplified it. The side effects and state might not be inlined but they’re still there. If anything they’ve made it less explicit because some of the details are hidden behind the magic that the React runtime uses to add state to functions.

First, we aren't talking knives.

Second, who said the quad was tumbling? Significantly cutting engine speed and removing significant lift forces on a quad in order to kill the buzz doesn't mean it will start wildly gyrating.

Third, Ardupilot will get you within a few feet of a specified point with a good enough vector and speed. Luckily you can use a subroutine (secondary control program) to handle the final approach from the 'point' to the target.

Lifting heavy weights is the only thing which keeps me sane. It might not work for you, but unless you've tried it, you don't know that.

None of my business if you do or don't, and a six week commitment to something like Stronglifts 5x5 is pretty serious so I'm not surprised most people don't try it.

But don't conflate it with hopping on a treadmill or exercise bike, or just pushing some dumbbells around once or twice. Heavy, repeated, and compound lifts are uniquely effective for me, and for a remarkable number of other people.

It's not a fuck you, man. That's insulting.
The closest U.S. example I can think of is Liberty Island and Ellis Island.

They are clearly within the boundaries of New Jersey, yet a part of New York (state and city). These also fall under federal jurisdiction as they are homes to national monuments. Yet control has been contested in the federal government at least five times since the 1800s, most recently in 1998 (Ellis Island) and 1987 (Liberty Island).

Lessons from Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman
Signal and veracrypt are not PGP replacements, not even remotely close.

Regarding age, one reason is that it only supports a small fraction of PGP functionality thus useless for many real world applications. Another is that it operates on top of a fundamentally different model and for many folks that model is worse and potentially less secure than PGP's if you try to replicate PGP functionality by composition [1].

Modern doesn't necessarily equal good. PGP is mature and solid which is why it's still widely used and remains popular.

Exactly. In a single file C nobody can expect to get universal library functions that work in any possible imaginable context. The only relevant context is the code the function is in. And in that context, the function is doing enough.
I agree. They literally want to create floating cities spewing pollution wherever they drift under the excuse that nobody else can legislate what they do.

Yeah; specifically, if your developers don't use the distroless containers to develop their apps (or stop using them when they become burdensome to update), then the environments are becoming divergent, which will lead to divergent behavior. The solution [incl. for things like vulnerability management] is the same idea behind Shift Left: move as much of the work "left" (earlier) in the pipeline/value stream/etc as possible.

The more you shift left, the smaller the distance from dev to prod, the better the outcomes. Whatever environment the developers want to use to develop, make the production system the same; then improve the development environment in order to improve production. Over time this will need to change as complex systems are hard to replicate locally. But the closer they are, the better.
To echo the sibling comment, it’s more for getting past screening than for anything involving interviews. Although it likely does add some implicit bias even for later interviewers/hiring managers who see my resume even if they don’t mention it.

Nah. A different article on this research was posted two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27408723 .

This article (and the previous one) claims that you can reduce depression risk by waking up one hour earlier. That's not what the research shows at all. It shows that people who wake up earlier are less likely to have depression. That's 100% mixing up correlation and causation.

People with depression have sleep issues? People without depression have an easier time waking up? No shock there. Can working on sleep issues help with depression? Sure. But waking up an hour earlier doesn't magically turn you into a person without depression.

> it seems to conflate intelligence and consciousness repeatedly

It seems to consider them to be the same thing. Which is a common viewpoint. Basically, the idea appears to be that, in order to display all those intelligent behaviors, the animal must be aware of them just as we are (or think we are) aware of what we're doing when we display such behaviors.

Of course my parenthetical qualifier there is the key point: actually, we humans are often not aware of what we're doing when we display behaviors that, to an outside observer, would appear to be intelligent. We perform all kinds of complex tasks on autopilot, while our conscious awareness is elsewhere. If we can do it, we should expect that other animals can do it, too.

And that at once raises the question, how do we know when we are consciously aware of intelligent things we are doing? The only answer we have, at least at our current level of understanding, is that we can talk about the things we are consciously aware of. We can report what we did and why we did it, and can answer questions about it. Which, if we take this at face value, means that without such evidence from animals, the default assumption should be that they do all their intelligent behaviors on autopilot--they are never consciously aware of what they are doing.

I think that claim, as it stands, is too strong--for example, anyone who has cats or dogs as pets would probably say that their cats or dogs give plenty of nonverbal evidence of being aware of things they are doing (and I include myself in this category)--but it should at least make clear that intelligent behavior and consciousness are not the same thing and do not have to go together. Which in turn means that our scientific efforts should be focused on figuring out what kinds of nonverbal evidence would count as indicating, not just intelligent behavior, but consciousness.
That's cause this idea is completely immoral

I am completely unable to envision anything at daytime when fully awake.

Yes, if someone imagines red, we can't be sure it's the same, but this is about how some people can do something, and some people can't.

I participated in a study about aphantasia a while ago, and it's pretty clear that I'm pretty much at the end of a spectrum there. There are indeed people who can imagine extremely vivid imagery. I happen to be able to perfectly imagine sounds and music, as well as compose music in my head, which I assume might be something not everyone else can do. With images, it's the complete opposite for me.

Fair use?
My problem with this approach is that it's still too much "infrastructure as data" and not "infrastructure as code." Moving infrastructure data into flat files is not a clear-cut win over having it in a database - you get easier version control with external tools like git, but you everything that makes a database a joy to work with instead of flat files, like schema validation and easy queries, etc.

Things like for_each and variables exist because "infrastructure as data" would be incredibly tedious and brittle and hard to extend, but an approach that tries to get to "infrastructure as code" by starting with a data format instead of a programming language just seems like too big a gap to cross. I haven't seen a lot of teams unit testing their terraform, for instance.
