I would feel guilt if me waiting in line before becoming eligible resulted in another person being turned away at a busy vaccine site - even if I didn’t have to technically lie about my eligibility.

Even if I’m iffy on the morality now, I don’t want to look back 20 years later as a different person, thinking about how, as a healthy young person, I cut in front of the eligible.

Would that person who was turned away because of me get a shot the next day, or the next? Probably. It’s just principles for me, like a personal code. The morality is debatable, everyone is different.

There’s something nice too about working cooperatively with an entire country at a unique time in history, and helping the less fortunate by simply following the rules as best you can as a non-essential individual.

My 2 cents
Things have gotten easier, the barrier to entry is lowered, and despite things being a million times easier than they used to be, they're 'too hard' for someone (it's all relative, after all). So frameworks like Unicorn and Livewire [0] pop up to address these issues...

At a glance it seems to be effort directed towards the spirit of no-code, but the fact that people using these tools can code is the crux of this phenomena. It's a natural tendency to make things easier for ourselves and it's hard to know when to stop as a programmer.

Helix-editor/helix: A post-modern modal text editor
I worked at a Barne's & Noble book store in college right as Amazon took off. I think BN's model for doing online was pretty common, which was that they set it up as a separate business that they made compete with their retail outlets. If you went into a store that didn't have the book you were looking for, the last thing the store wanted you to do was to go home and order it online from the BN website. They pushed you to get it shipped to the store, the. Wait for a phone call to tell you it arrived so you could come back and buy it. Then the store got the revenue towards it's sales goals.

One of many problems was that most people never actually came back to get the book when it arrived, and salespeople either didn't mention or actively discouraged buying on the web site, so the sale was lost completely. On the other side, their online wasn't integrated into their brick & mortar locations until way too late to claw back from Amazon. I'm not sure when they finally added the ability to see if a local store had a copy of the book you wanted, but it took too long because of the internal competition, and you still pretty much needed to call the store and make sure they had a copy because you could easily waste a trip if the inventory wasn't up to date or no one could find the book.

Doing a bad job of adding online to their business ended up making the entire experience worse.

Many retail chains seem to have done the same thing in the early days if trying to have an online presence. Heck, you still can't reserve or pre-buy a game at a physical using their web site, which says it's in stock. And you'll often still waste a trip if you trust the website and don't call ahead.
If you read the opinions, the dissent reads the CFAA as if it were just importing common law property-based rules to the electronic realm. As it applies to property, authorization is absolutely contextual. If I give a key to a housecleaner and they use it one afternoon intending to steal something, that's trespass. If they just happen to steal something on the spur of the moment, that's not trespass. However, the CFAA has additional language ("exceeds authorized access") that would capture such behavior. As the dissent notes, you can absolutely be charged with criminal trespass if you, for example, enter a National Park to remove a grain of sand in violation of park rules; it's the intent to do something in violation of the terms of access that makes it trespass.

The majority opinion says that applying common law property-based meanings is not the right approach. Rather, the CFAA makes far more sense if you understand authorization and similar terms in the sense they're more often used in computer science, which turn on the design of the authentication and authorization system itself, and are agnostic to external policy, agent intent, etc.
I think OS/2 and XENIX were the only two operating systems that ever used 80286 protected mode. I'm not surprised that OS/2 makes a good test case for emulators!

That's a hypothetical which is reliant on multiple points of coordinated, professionally antithetical malfeasance. It violates Occam's Razor.
Or just remove the link from the list view. (Only show the flag link when viewing a particular story.)

(I've also done that by mistake like four times.)
It doesn’t presume that it had to, it just conjectures that it is either more likely or not significantly less likely than the scenarios you listed.

We can’t rule it out, ie. we only have evidence right now to try to make a determination based on the preponderance of evidence, not beyond a reasonable doubt. The story that is emerging is that we may never be able to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt because the debate was quashed for a year by political concerns, institutional biases, and motivated reasoning.
Maybe see if you can find a Cisco CCNA study guide to flip though? Here's a syllabus [0].

This will give you a good foundation in layers 1-4 and routing, but stops short of bgp. You can tackle bgp separately, afterwards. Routing with bgp can get tricky, it's a bit different in that it sits on top of other routing protocols, routing between separate routing/admin/policy domains, not devices. Routing can be a lot of fun. Keep it simple to avoid surprises!

For me it was a while ago, but the cisco material explained how things worked at a packet/protocol level, and that "clicked" for me, things like how a host finds a router, how routers find each other, how routing protocols build a map of the network, etc. There are well defined protocols for all of this. The cisco study material did a good job of explaining all of this stuff. The CCNA is the introduction, and there's other study guides going into greater depth on various networking topics.

The nice thing about networking is that once you know the concepts it's not difficult to move between implementations.

That happens once you are flagged or bounced off the front page temporarily. You loose some sort of multiplier and are often placed around spot 15

Oh blockchain! What a silly pipe dream.
That’s fair, could also be the topics im weighing in on are more prone.

From personal experience, I’m experiencing flags like I’ve never seen before. I have several IRL fiends who no longer post or visit HN because of it (because reasonable discussion is being disappeared).

I’d be curious to know the attrition rate after flags. Also if the number of flags for long term members have increased. The data’s all public (I think), so I can do the analysis. But I find it interesting.
FWIW I don't think that would much affect the decision. In past similar cases, where the startup wasn't defunct, YC has divested.

I've never been part of any such decision, but I do know YC and the people who have to make such decisions, and from what I've seen they'd be reasoning from first principles or at least trying to.
Luck determines what genes you have and weather or not your parents care about education. It's an inseparable part of life.
Interesting, the tidbit about the astronaut's finger plugging the hole painlessly enough to not even realize the problem until after. A 1/8" diameter puncture does not seem very small, considering!
This is an exercise in "managing your energy, not your time".

For me the first several hours of the day are my most productive/creative, so I carve out at least a couple of those for my personal projects. Lately that's meant getting up early (5:30-ish) and prioritizing my own work ahead of my employer's.
The options for retirement funds in my 401(k) include "LifePath Index 2065 Account A", but that's as far as it goes for now.
To the extent this creates a performance penalty, it's a little annoying that a few systems create a behavior dependency that is not truly needed in a core type when there is a separate type that implements the desired semantics. But then again if it doesn't make it slower it should be fine.
Funny coincidence just happened. I was procrastinating reading this article and my partner noticed.

She asked me what I was doing and I told her I was procrastinating. She asked me, "If I'd like to do something else then?" Hinting at some assignment. Naturally, like the article mentions, I felt the urge to work on the problem I was procrastinating on.

So the solution we stumbled on, isn't to have your partner try to hold you accountable, but for them to assign you different tasks if they notice you procrastinating.

O&G was temporarily brought to its knees by a single password compromise. This is sad. All of their money and they can’t even implement basic edge security protocols.
Most people seem to take this as an accolade of democracy, but to me it seems to say a lot about government: that the best form we have doesn't work very well.

Our companies are more powerful than our governments right now. They censor what they want when they want on behalf of their world view and government bidding.
Sure. Once words have the kind of buzz that cancel culture does, they get used tactically and the meaning blurs... or evolves. "Fake news" was used very differently circa 2015-2016.

I don't think we're quite there yet though. The horse guy was also widely ridiculed for calling it cancel culture. In any case, I don't think the expanded usage is what pg had in mind, and that's what's relevant here.

Kicking out paul might be too severe, but it's not "cancel culture," in the reevant sense of the term.

I hold a decent sized block of USDC via BlockFi and earn 8.6% APY. I realize there is inherent risk (after all, I am earning 8.6%) but compare that to 0.5% earned at Goldman Sachs or traditional FDIC insured bank accounts and it's a risk I am willing to take. By default, BlockFi issues GUSD as their stablecoin of choice, but Gemini (GUSD) market cap is only $145m, whereas USDC market cap is 22 with a B billion. Ultimately, I always swap all my crypto "cash reserves" from the default Gemini GUSD to USDC.

I stay away from Tether completely as it has a shaky past and unknown ties with China and exchanges.
It increases my respect for YC knowing that they would kick a member out of the club for airing another's dirty laundry.

You don't get it. It's not just FAANG and the risk adds everyday. Eventually some of those companies will go bankrupt, be hacked and the data will get in the hands of malicious actors and will be use to commit fraud, to blackmail, etc. Also even if it's used legally and 'ethically' it means things like: 1- we will pay you less because you only earned X at your last job, 2 - we will increase your healthcare costs because you bought a pregnancy test online.

I have noticed that as well. I recently stumbled across a movie clip in 240p and the thing that was most notable was that during a monologue, the actor's lips did not move at all. He turned his head a little, but his expression seemed to be frozen. After a very noticeable key frame it returned to normal shortly, but his face ended up getting stuck again. I don't recall ever seeing something like this on YouTube, not even in ultra-LQ clips from 2007.
I didn't realize Chick Fil A was more upscale. Though the one s in my area are food court versions-- are the full physical locations markedly nicer inside than McDonald's? I think their employees do get paid more and/or better benefits though.
The Dutch fairly routinely reclaimed land that could only be built on decades later (once it dried out sufficiently to be stable enough to build on).
Not sure what the deal is in the US, but in Melbourne, Australia (a week prior to our current lockdown) I managed to get my Pfizer jab as a walk in, even though I do not meet the eligibility criteria. At that point, some vaccination centres were allowing all walk ins due to the lack of (eligible) people wanting the vaccine here. Obviously lockdown 4.0 has changed that, and now everyone wants a jab.v
> if I'm reading it properly.

And now I'm not sure I'm not the one who isn't reading things properly. (And that sentence probably doesn't help matters.)

I'll point to (the "only if" part of) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_and_only_if#Distinction_fro..., which I think agrees with me and disagrees with you, assuming I'm not misreading one or both.
Honest question. How's Tether imploding different from e.g. a public company suddenly shutting down and its stock price going to zero? I imagine the two scenarios being similar in the sense that anyone holding tether would eat a big loss, but aside from the event obviously affecting investor sentiment, wouldn't it just be more or less business as usual for other coins? As in, couldn't BTC/ETH/whatever people just use other stablecoins instead?

I feel like the risk of full-on panic selling seems more and more unlikely as time goes by and more institutional investors get into crypto. And even if everyone did take out their money at the same time, isn't most of the value actually backed by the dollars of whoever was the biggest fool?
Because the reaction to organizations that don't is extremely harsh and any small incident can blow dramatically out of proportion.
I don't know anything about the situation, but what is evident is this is some of the worst of Twitter on display, and why I shy away from the platform more often than not.
Not believing this is true is a marker of intelligent.
Yes, if you sentence people as bad, because they've done something bad 15 years ago, and are binary in your judgements (people are they "good" or "bad" in certain aspects and can't transition between these two options), then, by all morals and definitions, you're inhumane not giving a chance and not willing to reassess. Everybody deserves a second chance, everybody has the right to have been wrong, and you should not judge and sentence with a bullet, but talk and see if they are the same person they presented themselves as decades ago.

Maybe. Maybe not. I've seen people outraged at it before, it's not uncommon. People who don't understand the net good of shots in arms.

And in fact holding judgement may have been the smart thing to do, given this account of the situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27400221

Again, i don't have any more facts than before, it's still his word against the other's. But jumping on anyone's defense here is absurd unless you actually do know more (eg. You saw it unfold in the forum)
Nonsense. Failing to plug in your headphones is no more infringing than practicing a copyrighted piece of music without an audience. Infringement occurs when a work is performed or produced for sale. Also, the name of the track was almost certainly a factor in the decision.
Any particular reason why this is on the front page of HN, having been scanned in 2015? The commenters on here have noticed a greater uptick in religious and theist discussions/topics.

If your budget is tight you might consider the following for MF for your VPNs:

pfSense VM at work with a single interface and an OpenVPN server listening with a server cert minted from your AD CA - this is your VPN concentrator. You get your OpenVPN server to hand off auth to RADIUS which is a DC with the NPS service installed. Mint SSL certs for all your domain joined users and computers via your AD CA. Investigate this parameter: cryptoapicert "SUBJ:" on your OpenVPN clients.

All of this stuff is documented in various places and I've dropped most of the clues!

You can actually fold in more factors with this. So the PC/user must have a SSL cert minted by the AD CA and a password, and a OTP via something like Google authenticator.

I'd start with short lived (say one month) AD minted SSL certs and then decide whether you need more factors.

Remember that a domain joined PC doesn't work very well at password change time if encryption and VPN connections rely on AD passwords.

Now, once you allow your folks on site - what do you allow them to access? Get your firewall rules sorted.
sorta. The smaller lithography processes for semiconductors actually do degrade faster. More static risk too. XT computers were practically electromechanical.

We probably don't have the luxury of choosing. Solar and wind are intermittent. We probably need to both develop massive forms of energy storage and develop clean stable forms of energy (nuclear). The new nuclear in this article can output 150% for 5 hours as well.

I could see it as the inverse of the old in-circuit emulators.

If you were trying to scratchbuild a BIOS, for example, it might be easier to have the entire world outside the CPU be emulated at the beginning. It ensures you don't end up chasing ghosts due to imperfect CPU emulation, and you can start with very simple "toy" peripherals to avoid complex setup code and corner cases, and instrument everything up.

The guy behind this had been working on some other 8088-class projects-- up to a micro-ATX mainboard intended to be roughly XT compatible. One of the side projects was a tiny character LCD panel on an ISA card, since that was an easier design for early bootstrapping than getting a real CGA card running. So this sort of fits within the same toolkit.

As the firmware improves, I could imagine migrating to a setup where the Pi is connected via, say, the ISA bus to substitute for rare/fragile peripherals, or just serving as a more easily updated PROM replacement.
Wow. Yup, the results are being tweaked as we speak, which in-and-of-itself its pretty interesting actually i.e. that the BING keepers manipulate specific results on-the-fly.

I'm not sure that's reassuring/comforting!
Bitcoin's reliance on Stablecoins? I think the wsj is confused and has this backwards. Additionally, like all mainstream media sources, they cannot seem to understand that Bitcoin is what happens on the blockchain and that 99% of the breathless hype about trading and finance bro stuff is completely off chain and only tangentially related to Bitcoin.
The account was no longer in use at the time of the attack but could still be used to access Colonial’s network, he said.

Exactly this. I wrote an Apple ][ emulator, so I started by writing a 6502 emulator, and this is the only approach. Start with a giant switch, implement a few opcodes, run a program, wait until it reaches the not implemented case, implement it, repeat.

It is a surprisingly satisfying activity.

Sometimes I need an answer as blunt and direct as that one to understand something, thanks.
The people that invested in this affair that doesn't concern them? They need a new hobby. Maybe volunteering at their local vax site for a few weeks could do some actual good instead of trying to play detective just to feel good about themselves pretending they are contributing.
Yup. Every major tech company I’ve seen uses MFA + SSO for everything (including VPN and ssh). Many are even abandoning VPN because it doesn’t really give you what you want for security (vs something like BeyondCorp which is rapidly becoming the “right way” to do these things).

There’s no silver bullet that magically stops all attacks so your position feels a bit extreme. MFA would have stopped this particular attack (so would have disabling inactive accounts or scanning for password existence on leak databases).

Expect future attacks to focus on unrevoked lost/stolen yubikeys.
Median disposable income (after healthcare, taxes, housing, etc.) in the US is the highest in the world aside from Norway I believe.
Or pandoc.
The tensions are because Saudi Arabia doesn’t like the terms the US wants to impose. The US doesn’t want Saudi Arabia to make its own fuel, it wants them to promise to rely on foreign fuel processors only. Obviously that is motivated in part by proliferation concerns. But if Saudi Arabia had just accepted the terms, like UAE has, they’d probably have nuclear power by now, just like UAE does.

And the US wants to impose these rules on Saudi Arabia due to the Middle Eastern security situation (Iran, Israel, etc). It wouldn’t necessarily impose the same conditions on a country in another part of the world. And there are other suppliers with different rules, like Russia and China. If Saudi Arabia bypassed the US, that would have major negative consequences due to the US-Saudi alliance and the special security situation in the Middle East. But some other country in another part of the world could bypass the US with far less consequences

I think the Saudi situation demonstrates the challenges of nuclear power in the Middle East and Arab world. It doesn’t tell us much about the feasibility of nuclear power in other regions of the globe

There is a Rust code-signing implementation.

Whether you should teach Rust to code-sign your software using this code is probably a tricky question, but it appears to me that you could.
It's how the internal "AST" for Markdown is represented in pulldown-cmark - a Vec of a node enum. A major motivation was reducing the allocation cost (it's extremely common to do one allocation per node for this kind of thing), but another benefit is that a tricky "splice" information for inline markup (basically, moving a sequence of text spans, possibly with their own emphasis, between two asterisks into a subtree) is pretty easy to represent.
