>Does the technique of clenching your butt hole actually work to beat a polygraph? (As described in my favorite "The Americans" season 2 episode 7, "Arpanet".) Does it also help to visualize someone you love at the same time? ;)

If it actually works, the photo of Charles Wayne Humble in the article looks like he could lie through his teeth while passing a polygraph exam with flying colors!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpanet_(The_Americans)

After consulting with Arkady and Oleg, and with the promise of coaching from Oleg, Nina tells Stan that she will take the FBI's polygraph test. Oleg suggests a few techniques including that she visualize him in the room as well as clenching her anus.

The Americans Season 2 Episode 7 "Arpanet" Review: "I like when I learn something from an episode, and now I know ..." "If you're having to do a polygraph, squeeze your anus."

(One of the ways to beat a polygraph turns out to be clenching one’s anus. This show is full of helpful hints.)

>ESQ: The show featured Nina learning to beat and eventually beating a polygraph. How easy is it to do that?

>PE: We have a number of real-world instances. The Aldrich Ames case. He went through the polygraph twice, after he went to work for the Soviets. Administering a polygraph is an art, not a science. That's why it's not admitted in court. People have claimed to have had training to beat the polygraph. Everything from tightening your sphincter to breathing a certain way, and so forth.

>ESQ: Speaking of sphincters, the trick she's told is "squeeze your anus." Is that a thing?

>PE: I can't confirm. [Laughs] I took several polygraphs. Taking them is a standard thing in the intelligence life.

The same way you train people to drive in the snow in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark etc. the 8-11 month of the year there is no snow on the ground.

I primarily did it to scratch an itch. At the time I was distro hopping a lot and tried to make linux work everywhere I could. I've since settled on Fedora and stopped trying to hack things together which weren't made for each other as it is time consuming and doesn't really serve a purpose. Fedora gives me a good balance between new versions of software while also being very stable and simple. Everything just works.

May I introduce you to the concept of bookmarking things, so you can find them later?

I don't understand why anyone should have those many tabs open. That is not practical at all, I don't believe anybody who says something different, sorry.

Could you describe why you think its "grandiose" to try to take responsibility for the consequences of your own actions?
I'm not sure why this is a big deal. Why would you need a powerful computer to study computer science? If any of the courses involve huge computations then I expect the university would have a supercomputer of sorts they can use.
A 12 words BIP39 phrase is 128 bits of entropy. Is this enough? Depends on the algorithm.

In either case, you'd absolutely not want to reuse the phrase. AFAIK BIP-32 does not have security guarantees such that you can't find the seed from a set of private keys.

You record a portion of the song, and it uses machine learning to analyse it and tell you the bird with a confidence figure. Works really well.

Looks great. Configuring these sort of static sites on AWS takes quite a bit of clicking around the console so wrapping it all into a nice CLI seems like a great idea! I will be trying it out!

For those that are asking, I think you will just pay for the Route53 Hosted Zone initially which depends on traffic but for almost everyone will be about $0.50 a month roughly.
I had a discussion on another social platform, in which we came to an hypothesis for that phenomenon :

We now have two or three generations of very educated urban denizens which have lived in relatively efficient but very wealthy social machines - modern western-model cities. These machines were made to make their life safe and easy. A necessary side effect, needed to remove social friction, is the progressive removing of personal responsibility. After all, modern institutions are really able to get "into" and meddle with the private/family sphere, for better or worse.

In addition to that, the hard-knocks/social struggle/unionized western left of yore figuratively "nannied" or "helicopter parented" their children way past reason - often 10 years or more after biological adolescence ends.

As a consequence, we live with gigantic proportion of 20-45 year olds which "fail to adult". They are used to devolve a lot of responsibility to state institution which they need to implicitly trust. They fail to mentally separate social rules from their actual applications. They also fail to mentally separate both from the actual people enforcing said rules. To them, rules equals institutions and automatic respect thereof. Large scale TV, Media and internet operations are such institutions for them.

These beliefs "in the system", really, acts as a psychological pacifier : "everything is alright, somebody is in charge". If they released their own grip on that beliefs, the cognitive dissonance, and terror, would be too big.

No need for a totalitarian "patriarchal" violent and overbearing state to impose such mental constructions.Turns out that a totalitarian suffocating "matriarchal" nanny state works much better.

In an ironic almost twist of fate, they also give the same trust, deference and belief to private organizations and institutions, such as corporations. That phenomenon is actually almost fascist (old style) in nature, which is very frightening to me.
There are virtually no costs involved here, for the vast majority.
One of the drawbacks of managers who are not good engineers themselves is that they lack the ability and knowledge to distinguish between truly excellent talent and pretenders. That's an organisational deficiency.
The game is cheating a little bit, since it loads a lot of read-only data from external SPI flash memory, and all the code is in the internal 1MB flash. On your 386, everything including the OS had to fit on that 4MB RAM.

It also doesn't have quite all the features. No music, and no screen wipe effect (I worked on a memory constrained Doom port myself, and that silly little effect is incredibly memory intensive since you need two full copies of the frame buffer)
How I structure my apps (in Rust and other languages) (2020)
> Right, so that is a problem, but it's a different problem from lack of configurability

Lack of out of the box configurability, lack of ease of discovery of configurability, lack of dependability on third party pieces (which may be essential to my workflow, that third party widget in Xfce isn't).

That initiative looks like a good move, I don't mean to disparage that.

> In the gnome shell, the extension API is built-in and standard. That is the configurability.

And that's not a good mechanism for me, as discussed.

> If you're asking for specific panel settings to be included by default

Yes, that's specifically my preference, for a system the user can configure, easily/out of the box, without relying on third parties to patch some really simple stuff back in.

> It's not really possible for the shell to act the way you're asking.

I'm not asking the shell to act any particular way, nor am I asking for changes in Gnome. I have had no real interest in Gnome since the 2->3 transition and this approach is part of that.
The main issue is that the standard was written back when file formats and tape formats were essentially the same thing. Data was read from tape, processed and written to a second tape. The memory of machine at the time were of the order of 1 block.

Decoupling tape formats from file format effectively resolves the issue, that is: read the tape in 6k blocks, write the file to a modern file system. Set the tape block size to 10mb. Write the file back to tape as a tar. You get the bandwidth limit of the tape drive.

The issue is almost all legacy industry software is still designed to read and write directly to tape objects so your tape isn't readable in all the software this data is designed for.
Aw, I thought this was going to be about football pitches...

John Beck did a fair amount of "pitch doctoring" at Cambridge United. He would play an exclusively long ball game, hoofing it to a set of 7ft tall strikers. To help with this, he demanded that the grass be grown long in the corners to hold up the ball and basically ploughed the rest of the pitch to kill any attempt at a passing game. He was nicknamed "Dracula" for sucking the life out of the game :)
Indian languages havent had any change in their pronunciation in the last 2000 years but that is because of the very nature of the script. though I would agree, when it comes to Indian languages and their scripts, the symbols dont look any simpler but people tend not to use the entire set of consonant and vowel symbols available to them and only stick to using the simpler ones and likely the ones closer to English. another thing that I notice is that newer words don't have consonants followed by two or more consonants, the new words tend to look like stream of syllables with simple consonants followed by vowels.
Please link to the actual article and not someone's bloody tweet about it!

Also your headline is complete clickbait. Elon Musk's reply to the article was:

"This is inaccurate. Tesla only sold ~10% of holdings to confirm BTC could be liquidated easily without moving market.

When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions."
This is too creepy for even Google to do, although they tried it out for a while. I think it was more like a hash of sorts -- a cookie in the DNS name of a Google tracker.
Those ICs don't have any compute capacity at all. They're an analog oscillator driving an address counter connected to an OTP ROM whose data pins go into a DAC.
Seems like a low risk test, it’s kinda a no-brainer. They used their free time and they had it running alongside the main program.
Have to remember if they didn’t have the comparison, I don’t think it would be as good a story.

I feel obliged to point out that I am following the HN convention of submitting this post using its original title but that I am not the author of the post.

(However, I do follow a lot of the same principles too in the Rust code that I myself write – in particular wrt Data Oriented Design – and which is why I am always happy when I find others that do too, because inevitably they are doing something in addition that I am not yet doing, and which can help me improve the quality of the software that I write.)
I am talking about bottlenecks on reading from the tape. Sending the data to /dev/null eliminates any write bottlenecks and we still max out at 60mb/sec on a 250mb/sec drive.
What approach would you propose to pay for the development?
I made an iOS client for HN 3 years ago as I spent a lot of time reading and wanted features like notification for replies, dark theme, swipe to vote/favourite etc. It's been out for 3 years now and fully featured plus iPad and MacOS support too. Recently, I switched from iPhone to Android as the new iPhones were too expensive. So now I am working on the Android version of the app too (which is pretty new to me as I am just learning Kotlin).

At least Scenario 2 should be much easier for self driving cars to manage than humans since they can (at least in theory) monitor the dampness, temperature and traction of the road they are on in real time. There are camera systems today that can detect black ice with combination of IR and image recognition, and in the future there might be systems like that along most roads that can send real time updates about upcoming hazards directly to the car.

Scenario 3 is functionally no different than a truck driving slowly and weaving back and forth erratically, something that should be part of the standard scenarios any self driving car should handle.

Scenario 1 is almost certainly the hardest one and the one that will take longest to solve.

Well, in a lot of sports a decent portion of spectators are there for the celebrity, best-in-the-world players.

Usain Bolt has more name recognition than Yohan Blake, even though they're both world-class sprinters.

Plus you're wasting an inode per record - a limited resource in ext4, increasing which requires reformatting. You'd probably run out of inodes much sooner than out of space.
Citation please? That sounds unlikely!
That's fair, and I agree it would be much better if it was officially supported. I'm on a rolling release distro but I had to freeze all my GNOME packages to stay on 38 because of the issue you mention.

But I chose GNOME knowing they have a tendency to break a lot of extensions with new versions, which is honestly quite a pain and something I understand many (if not most!) don't want to deal with.
I guess this may not be the right place to ask this, but I have not seen any "explanation" on why the company who bought freenode is killing it and I am really curious why would one buy sth and then kill it.
It's a bit of a slippery slope though. Even though Markdown allows arbitrary HTML, several competing extensions have emerged because people always want one more feature.

I think the issue with Gemini is that it that while it appears to be a general purpose protocol, it actually favours a very particular type of content. This maybe seems self evident, but even if you want to write anything much more than a blog post it's not a good fit. I wouldn't mind if it was really pure, but a code block syntax has been included to appeal to a tech crowd, while other basic elements of modern written communication are not. And now we're back to the start of my comment.
> stabilized by algorithms and has been for a few years now without fault

This is a textbook example of a "gray swan".
Intel doesn't need to buy anyone or take any license to start making RISC-V chips that compete with Apple's M1.

And in fact SiFive really can't help Intel with this as SiFive is just in the process of shipping RISC-V chips similar in complexity to Pentium (but at higher clock speed), and is preparing chips similar to Pentium Pro (OoO) or Pentium II (OoO with SIMD)
> Hijacking was different in those days. It was often a means of political protest or transportation.

Indeed, that was one of the major shocks (and changes brought by) 9/11: before that in the case of highjacking you wanted to remain calm because you were at relatively little risk of harm, in the early 70s highjacking were a weekly occurrence and treated as inconvenience. Jacking gradually went down through the 80s as security screenings were added.

The danger was in bombings and there was not much you could do as a passenger.
No it's not, it's $5k plus maintenence which can easily run to $2k to get it through the annual test, so that's $11k and will massively deprecate. There's then the opportunity or finance cost of that $5k.
Can't scroll on Firefox. It starts OK then some script loads and locks the page at the top. Oh well.
I don't know that its essentially an online casino. It's a digital currency that makes it able to transact outside of the domain of Visa/MasterCard and US dollar, so maybe compare it to that system and the energy requirements of those.
It's like they went out of their way to refer to the illuminati without explicitly mentioning them.
Human eyewitness relates to an event. "Did you see this person on the night of January 14" etc. Phrenology is based on immutable characteristics of a person's physiology. Predicting criminality based on any immutable feature seems categorically wrong to me. If facial and voice recognition are used in relation to specific events, that's one thing, but using them to predict some sort of innate propensity for doing crime sounds like pure bathwater.
This is the way. From what I read, it's really, really hard to time the market, and often, not even that lucrative. One of the best strategies seems to be to go against human nature, and be patient, consistent, and to stick to a plan over a long time.
This is the weirdest thing but I get a sort of "uncanny valley" effect from all the screenshots, I try to parse them as Installshield Wizards but they're actually regular apps.
True, it could be a good idea. As you say it would require an assessment on security though.

Yeah, it's true. The claim/theory/working hypothesis is that technological scaling will reduce the cost of a node over subsequent decades so that running a node becomes more affordable, increasing the decentralization of the network.

> There isn’t a cap on validators so you can’t buy up a fixed percentage of the network

you can during a pre-sale or pre-mine event

> More people can always join

joininng as validator means convincing another validator to reduce their stake (sell it to you), which is a form of permission.

> You will be diluted over time unless you choose to reinvest

you can't be diluted if you don't sell you stake and continue staking. that's just by definition how PoS works.

> PoS increases both the cost of a direct attack on the network as reorganised/51s are more expensive to perform with slashing mechanisms in place, and also removes the threats of supply line disruption by either nation states or cartels forming to control the flow of the hardware.

nope, literally none of it is true.

slashing mechanisms only obfuscate the attack, they don't make it more expensive. in fact they reduce security by virtue of piling more and more rules that require more and more code, which inevitably contains bugs.

threats of supply chain attacks are much less scary than threats of long range attacks from hacked / overtaken private keys of early / current validators.

producing more hardware to counter an attack might be expensive and early iterations of hardware can be inefficient, but at least nobody can stop you from producing it. as i've already explained - if somebody gets a stake in pos system, there is nothing you can do to reduce it.

pos simply doesn't work. it's been known a decade before pow and was just never considered seriously because it's not trustless and permissionless.
Personally I find this “feature” really sucks.

I had disabled it in flags, but I guess I need to look for another browser that doesn’t do this. Time to get something more privacy focused too :-)
Of course, nothing personal, but as an user (not programmer) I have the feeling that programmers are given the same problems and fail to actually solve them like they failed 10 years ago.

You might be the exception, but - again as an user - I find the same inconsistencies or bugs or more generally "queer" behaviour in programs that I found 10 years ago, so something (not necessarily the pure programming part) must be "wrong" in the way they (the programs/apps) are conceived, released or tested (or non-tested).
Think less and stress less when it comes to the MOT
FFmpeg was the first example I thought of too, but I don't think that there is a screen large enough to display all it's options and flags.
