Where are the people fleeing RH going to go? There are not many workplaces as large and as Free Software focussed as RH.
Thanks. Found out it's the issue of company VPN. A bit weird that it blocks some websites but not others.
That's not even close to what happened.

The administration left it alone for days saying they'll let private business sort it out. (Default investigation notwithstanding.)

When a bunch of news media started reporting the group was Russian and then insinuate it was a state sponsored attack, DarkSide said something along the lines of, "We didn't realize this would start geopolitical conflict. We will be careful to vet clients more carefully in the future."
the screen, or rather whatever container is rendered on the page, is just a viewport to an underlying canvas. The canvas can be zoomed and panned, and the focus of the panning and level of the zoom can be synced across machines. People with different size or shape viewports see slightly different cropping, but they are looking at a synchronised canvas through that viewport.
I think that the problem is these companies are publicly-traded. Chasing YoY returns and never having a down quarter are antithetical to building a lasting security model.
I wonder if institutions in other countries and regions, eg, Europe, are also frequently compromised, but we don’t even hear about that.

The same sort of software is used by all governments and corporations.

Not directly. But if the hospital takes money out of the estate directly, this is in effect taking away from a child's inheritance. Thus, one could interpret this to be "the children paying for the bills"
I presume you were not trying to be ironic with this request (given how you chose the easy option of inconveniencing others rather than Google/Wikipedia)

Anyway, here's a good introduction:

"Life is not fair" is a sentence containing four words.
> SF and other progressive cities have been on the path of electing these kind of radicals for many years. Boudins election was ultimately the result of not heeding the warnings many pundits gave.

That sounds suspiciously like a slippery slope kind of argument. But slippery slope arguments are rhetorical slights of hand. In the realm of public policy, you can usually stop a slippery slope any time you want. And I have no doubt that if the SF electorate understood what Boudin's precise policies would be, Boudin absolutely would not have won. Having lived in SF for the better part of two decades, IME SF politics is not at all like it's portrayed in the national media. But let's see what happens with the recall.

I have exceptional disdain for Boudin precisely because I believe he'll do (and is doing) damage to otherwise constructive and productive criminal justice reform movements. Those movements aren't just composed of liberals. Republicans have supported and helped to pass sentence reductions in Congress.
That would be a long list of restated license terms and attributions.
It’s a pretty broad term, but I’d define it as properties of a software system that make it hard to modify/maintain safely and easily. And it’s fixable, but takes an investment of time/effort/money to fix. The debt metaphor is that it can make sense to have a bit of this, but too much becomes crippling.

Often the most maintainable solution is simple and elegant, but it takes a lot of refactoring to implement, so a hacky, complex solution is implemented instead, because it’s faster/easier to implement. Such solutions tend to either contain bugs, or lead to bugs when built upon, and a lot of security vulnerabilities are basically bugs in hairy parts of systems that are hard to understand.
i mean, thats mostly because the privacy invasion is still topsecret and its abuses likely never investigated hitherto.

I would think it's more complicated when the tool is the thing spitting out the verbatim copies of code. Both the tool and the developer are independently distributing copyrighted code that neither of them have the rights to distribute.
The idea that the modern Chinese are descendanded from Peking man from 770k years feeds the common myth that many people hold that their particular ethnic group is inherently different/superior.

It doesn't need to be. If the license isn't positively exactly permissive then you can't use it.

APK is still the distribution model. You just don't upload APKs directly to Play.
If you’re open to using Docker

Try out this [0] , it’s pretty easy to self host , comes with decent defaults and makes it quite easy to setup a bunch of tools from spam checking to anti virus , dkim , dmarc , etc and gives you some handy parameters you can change in its default config file after that you can further customise the tools it uses directly (although I’ve only had to do that once or twice while setting up some custom settings)

Zines had it right all along
The who should pay part might be even more important now. As a condo the individual owners are collectively on the hook for repairs if insurance doesn't pay out. And they're now in possession of condo units they can't sell and also can't live in. Their individual homeowners insurance will presumably, hopefully cover them now.
No offense taken. In hindsight, it should have been clear that every day spent in the ICU past 3 months was not a good sign of my dad ever making it out of there. However, we 100% believed he was going to get better all throughout the process. Idk what this assessment was based on, but reflecting back for the first time in a long time, I now realize just how much emotions cloud sensible outlook & probability assessment.
SolarWinds affected 100% of installations that updated their deployments during that 8 month window. Your 1% comes from the ratio of networks that were specifically targeted and received 2nd stage with all the goodies.

The reason why 2nd stage was only given to (relatively) small number of organizations - because the attack wasn’t ransomware, attackers didn’t have economical motives (in fact they were spooks on a government payroll).

EDIT: I can’t spell
I used to work for an MSP and we had used Kaseya.

There was an AV integration, and then Kaseya changed to Kaspersky. I don’t remember what the prior AV software was.

I always thought it bizarre we were actively installing AV software from Russia on banking and medical office PCs.

Why even bother with money? Just let everybody take whatever they want, wherever they can get it.

So says the NYT. From behind a pay wall.
why? one could easily claim that if the tool is reproducing the contents of copyrighted works they are a "distributor". Subjecting the makers of the tool/distributor too much higher copyright infringement claims.
The craziest part to me was their pushing of the vPro integrations.
I'm not going to peruse that list because I know how the Dems kneecapped Bernie: with super delegates. During Clinton's primary run against Obama the super delegates kept their mouths shut until the convention. Which is how it was intended to work when the super delegates were set up in the 70s. In 2016 however, the super delegates for Clinton were very vocal early on, giving Clinton an insurmountable lead right out of the gate. Several states voted for Bernie and he won the "regular" delegates but ended up losing the state because of the super delegates. When the DNC was sued for defrauding the Bernie supporters lawyers for the DNC argued in open court that they didn't have to run a fair primary because they're a private corporation. It's beyond me why anyone would have anything to do with the Democratic party at this point. They are corrupt and they don't care that you know it.
Yes, and emotions help you choose good “anything”s. There’s always an emotional superstructure- yours, or somebody else can choose for you, based on their own motivations.
Solarwinds was distributed by a malicious patch (through legit channels). So all orgs were unpatched and in fact all got at least first stage downloaded (if they patched during that window).
Imagine how partisan it would look the other way if they waited until _after_ the election.

Just imagine that Clinton won in a landslide and then right afterwards WikiLeaks comes out with the podesta emails saying they waited until after the election to share it so they wouldn't hurt her chances.

In a democracy the people have the right to decide which information they care about, it shouldn't be decided for them by the media.

WikiLeaks expressly says that they time their releases to get the most coverage. It's why a whistleblower might choose them over other outlets that may publish their story to get minimal coverage of it would hurt the powers that be.
At this point you are willfully failing to understand my point. It's extremely simple, many mid career people with $1M dollars in net worth are not able to retire, because their net worth is not liquid, and liquidity is necessary to pay for things. If you do not understand the concept of liquidity, then I really can't help you out. Cheers.
It's all just one person stuck in a loop. Predestination.
Sadly they probably will. At least the ones who didn't have their shit totally deleted.

So many "average" users just want consistency and will go with WD again because they don't need to relearn as much (even if the relearning is minimal it's still a mental barrier for anyone who does not feel totally technically competent).

I think of my parents who, despite being very smart people, are frustrated by tech because it doesn't come easy to them. Any extra step isn't beneficial, it's stressful.
There is no limit.
I think you mean taxpayers will cover the debt.

A lot of those taxpayers aren't college educated, and they work hard for their wages.
After serving 3 large employers and reading through all the fine print attached to each health insurance policy, I can wholeheartedly say most companies do not offer "good coverage." After experiencing the fallout from my father's heart attack, I scoured through every health document I received afterwards, including but not limited to health insurance policies.

Of my different health insurance policies, the longest duration in an ICU that was covered by any of those insurance policies was 60 days. My father was "lucky" in that he was on a subsidized Obamacare policy that "only" charged $350 per month (which was cheaper than my employer's policy) but was FAR superior to any of my employers' health insurance in every aspect.
Ooh nice! I didn't think of that! Since appending to an array is cheap, you can just move-to-end instead of move-to-front, and then iterate in "reverse" order, so from the outside everything seems to Just Work.
You're right, I mis-posted that. I should have mentioned this instead:

Yes they do get compromised and the information is published regularly. E.g. here is a news item from just this week: https://www.reuters.com/technology/denmarks-central-bank-exp...
The original claim was that these particular rioters could have actually destroyed the Republic in that moment.

I don't disagree that some of them were posing a threat of bodily harm to the people inside the Capitol, but that's a much different claim.

I know we're still pretty close to the Ubiquiti breach, but since then, they've added 2FA.

Is your opinion of their products the same?
This is true but doesn't change the problem that copilot itself is potentially distributing unlicensed copyrighted material. This isn't necessarily a problem for you as a developer though.
How does "B2 or S3 replication" not solve this?

Miami's Other Water Problem (2018)
Hahaha I agree with my sibling - I went on a ride with bitclout and enjoyed the camaraderie, but immediately saw how petty people were going to get over losing a buck, ironically ready to call other users scammers at the drop of a hat.

If they had a different answer to decentralization than a 2MB/minute block size or a media hosting solution that wasn’t just “allow iframes from YouTube and Vimeo” I would have had more faith, but now that I’ve cashed out I see what the sibling sees, target demographic for a influencer-speculation-exchange is very small.
Maybe we need new words? Someone had to invent the word "fascism" once upon a time too. The problem with using established words that almost fit is that people quibble over semantics.
Welp, there go our licensing models

CRT and the Psychology of Language
I don't think anyone can answer that question based on first principles. It looks like the perfect conditions for incomplete combustion with aerosolized petroleum violently mixing with sea water that's getting rapidly pushed away by the force of the explosion.

On on the one hand, it might spread out the petroleum and prevent an oil slick from forming, making it less ecologically damaging. On the other hand, it might be combusting a negligible amount of the fuel and spreading the rest as tiny particles that aren't small enough to overcome a turbulent sea and collect at the surface, so they enter the respiratory and digestive systems of everything in the gulf.
Quite a large number of leading Chinese paleoanthropologists have been in this camp. Take Jia Lanpo or Wu Liu as examples.
Ubiquity introduced new vulns while fixing that fiasco from last year: https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2021/5/24/cve-2021-22...

On the other hand, all of the other networking HW sucks just as much. E.g. here are Netgear vulnerabilities published just this week: https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2021/06/30/microsoft...
Sounds so spooky, do say more! Do you mean Jason Bourne / John Wick shows up at the hackers’ nest?
> "Too short to bother copying"? I copy single words of text to avoid typing and typos. I would never type out even a single line of code when I could paste and edit.

Very honest suggestion: learn how to touch type. You can still copy if needed, but your typed input will be much faster.
Ask HN: What is your ransomware mitigation strategy?
We've just seen a huge attack on US companies. How would you recover?

What systems do you have in place?

We have some physical backups but they're always a week old. We have online restic backups but they're open to attack. I don't know how to protect our systems.
If I understand what you're suggesting properly, that's really not what I meant. I've wired up speakers and used them as microphones as a kid. What I meant is, do you really need to cut the cord to your speakers in say a laptop to stop the possibility of them being used as speakers? Aren't your speakers output only as far as the computer is concerned?
Ask HN: Do you use a retro computer for real work?
If so, please describe computer and work.
Interesting, thanks for sharing! Can you please clarify:

- what exactly is the use case?

- why isn't e.g. SharePoint or Dropbox version history sufficient?
This is a tiresome, meaningless religious mantra nowadays.

Yes there is corruption. No not everybody is corrupt. No it does not only exist in USA nor is USA anywhere near the worst. No you can't blame anything and everything you don't like on corruption and greed.
The problem is, the kinds of problems caused by modification of the radio and a manufacturing mistake can be totally different and so things that you encountered you wouldn't see if someone simply modified it to operate on a different frequency. Therefore, your story which hinges on this difference not existing doesn't hold up.
Hi, I'm a maintainer. I think this is a huge mischaracterization of the team. We definitely are aware (and inform users) the current state using the theia wrapper lags coc.nvim and vscode. We've never said anything disparaging about coc.nvim, and the built-in client is still seeing rapid development.

We provide a client, not language servers, so we're kinda at the mercy of whatever language servers exist. We offer a configuration in lspconfig for https://github.com/theia-ide/typescript-language-server which wraps tsserver, but there is hope that microsoft could implement lsp protocol directly for tsserver https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/39459#issueco... at which point the experience should be more comparable to coc.nvim.

On a different note, we have made upstream requests to MS, worked with language server authors, and generally try to contribute positively to the language server ecosystem. Neovim users will always be free to use coc.

If you have actionable items for improving the client, please reach out on our discourse or on our matrix channel. Thanks!
Not the parent but Sanders wasn't a member of the Democratic Party yet he attempted to be nominated on the Democratic ticket with the goal of taking over the Democratic apparatus. After losing the nomination he went right back to not being a Democrat and acting like an outsider. I think that's what's meant by calling him a carpetbagger.
Still technically true, but social media companies can conceivably have caused preventable deaths or other bad things due to their algorithms designed to cause hate in the name of "engagement."
Or if you got your old desktop computer, that'll do too. I'm on my third iteration of retired-desktop-pc NAS, didn't buy anything except a couple of 10gbe nics on ebay.

My 5-year-old likes playing with built models a lot, and also likes building with instructions, but not free building. More instructions for the huge pile of Lego we have, he would like.

My 3-year-old is pretty much exclusively into (often quite elaborate) freebuilding. Even when kids are super creative, it doesn't manifest in the same way.
Split the difference. Automatically update devices until they are end-of-lifed, then send a last update that blows a fuse allowing automatic updates. Anything after that point requires a write switch to be flipped.

Actually, preferentially they should be taken offline and the consumer should have to opt-in to leaving them connected to the Internet, but that's a whole separate issue.
AirCar completes first inter-city flight [video]
Can’t speak for parent, but when I describe the immigration jails as “concentration camps” I do have a political motive. There was a political motive in calling them “immigration facilities” in the first place. I simply want to call them for what I believe they are. When describing the nazi camps I say “death camps”, as to not conflate the infinitely worse horror of the nazi camps.

There is usually a political motive behind what controversial things are called. There was an active push from the oil lobby swap out the terms for the climate disaster from “global warming” to the more innocent sounding “climate change”. Then recently some media companies made the political decision to start using the term “climate disaster” or “climate crisis”.

> working for XCompany is actual slavery

I don’t think this is equivalent (even though it sounds like it to your ears). The ICE facilities can accurately be described as concentration camps. The victims are kept against their will—i.e. imprisoned—in camps in dedicated camps. This is an accurate term. Slavery only applies when you are forced to work for little or no salary. I.e. I often use the word actual slavery when referring to prison labor. This is a political decision on my part. And you are free to criticize this choice of word. And you would be right to say it diminishes the term when compared to the horrible cattle slavery in the Americas until the 19th century. But it is still an accurate term.
That's an interesting idea! It's for sure possible, it would just take some conditionals/functions to reset diagnostics in your init.vim/init.lua. I personally turn off virtual_text in my private config. I think our current APIs already facilitate this, so I'm happy to answer questions on our discourse or on matrix about how users can do this.

The only thing that pops up by default right now is diagnostics.

Yeah the 5950x will run circles around any Haswell based CPU. I suppose for single threaded tasks, it’s still not a massive jump ( although still pretty substantial).

I get that CPUs were moving at a snails pace before but AMD really shook things up with the 3000 and now 5000 series.
