That was President Macron's personal number, which he freely gave to journalists before being elected.

He is very tech-savvy and security-conscious, having been the target of Putin's election interference (Putin was trying to get the far-right candidate Marine Le Pen elected, just as he has supported the far-right AfD party in Germany), but his party had a better response than most because he had appointed tech entrepreneur Mounir Mahjoubi to lead its cybersecurity.

For classified or state business, he has a special Samsung Galaxy S7 with modified firmware and an older specialized flip-phone from Thalès called Teorem:

Now, if his iPhone were compromised, its microphones could be activated to listen in on his conversations. The French cybersecurity authorities are competent and it's highly unlikely they haven't planned for this, specially when they know the US eavesdropped on Angela Merkel's phone and France would be a higher-priority target for the US government given its sometimes ornery relationship. Their threat model certainly includes far more capable nation-state actors and capabilities than the watered-down version Israel will allow to be sold to Morocco, Saudi Arabia or any other tinpot country willing to pay.
there is no “group thinking” issue on StackOverflow. Quite contrary :)
The reason for that is banal: the vast majority of humans chose to live near a water source, if not the coast. That's still true today, but was overwhelmingly true in prehistoric times.

Hidden. Even when you request for them to remove stuff.

Had domain, stuff got archived, asked for them to remove it, added robots.txt. Domain lapsed. Someone else picked it up. their robots.txt now permissive, old stuff that I requested for them to remove is now visible.
I did mention inferences.

You seem to be concerned that I don't maintain a state of complete agnosticism in any matter which I lack data for, but it's really hard to do so in practice in a world of distinct choices. Most everybody will either get vaccinated or not get vaccinated and at least have made an implicit prediction about the future. Since I was pressured into making that choice it seems hardly surprising that I'm willing to opine on this issue where I lack data.
No Santa is the right way to do it (whitelisting binary's), that's the opposite of an antivirus.
Just take the money from the profits lol
The thing is, malware vendors can do the same. At least for zero day attacks you just test them on the target’s antivirus to make sure it will not discover the malware.
I'm interested/curious to see how a system where you can only downvote would behave.

I think users would be much more interested to only downvote, if they could.

The front page would only show items that were not downvoted. Of course if would also be possible to see which posts were the most downvoted.
I upvoted you for this comment.
Isn’t shared PHP hosting just another form of PaaS?

I get the impression that companies like Heroku came about because the established shared hosting companies were too slow to adapt when Ruby on Rails exploded in popularity.
Then why not copylooting...
> No. We’re taking about how the computer works. Not the occasional faulty unit.

And the computer needs system software to run properly to be usable, otherwise it is useless on its own and cannot boot anyway.

If the system software is causing issues, you update it. On launch day, that was broken and so was recovery when they launched.

> If you had evidence that M1 Macs have a greater failure rate than their competitors, you would have presented it.

So in November 2020, 'All reports are that the M1 Macs work extremely well?' Typically, that includes the default install of the system software upon purchase that can only be macOS for M1 Macs and for it to be "usable" it 'must be switched on' and the only way to control and update the hardware is via system software on the machine. Otherwise it is useless.

If 'All' reports were that M1 Macs worked extremely well, I would not be seeing such frequent issues or reports mentioned anywhere on launch day or a month after. That was not the case.

The author of this post has the evidence themselves and does not hide the issues that happened on launch day and for several months on end.
Regarding the time capsules:

I think the best time capsules are the things that are stored somewhere and then simply forgotten. My wife and i we are converting an old barn at the moment to become our new home and just yesterday we discovered in a far off corner of the barn some interesting things: A few prayer books with comments from ancestors of our neighbours (some dates suggest they are from around 1820), a field box of some soldier from WW 1 with some personal belongings... just things you store on your attic and forget about. These are not things somebody thought could be interesting for future generations... but they give a unique glimpse into the lives of people long gone.

“well thought out comments” in this case means “well thought if your comment is aligned with the herd's opinion”.
At least nowadays wildland firefighters spend plenty of time conducting prescribed burns, too. They're not chuckleheads - they're perfectly well-aware by now that past practices contributed to the problem.

I've had a number of issues with k3s on very low spec hardware (typically ARM), where it would take up to 25-50% of CPU just sitting idle with no pods. Stopped using it for those scenarios a year ago, wonder if that's fixed.
While I would agree with you in theory, with Twitter testing it now and Facebook already rolling it out to (some?) groups, it doesn't appear like its time has passed.
Judo: Build Native App Experiences with No Code
It's actually more complicated than that I think. Chinese geography is also not without complications. Europe has its own share of mountains etc., but also a huge rail coverage (even though in need of updates to make it faster and with higher capacity for persons).

Now air transport can reach everyone, but is also especially climate unfriendly. Maybe in the future there will be electric or hydrogen airplanes, but if there is an option to use rail or plane mass transit, rail will always have lower energy demands. But historically the US has low energy (and fuel) taxes, and that will favor the planes. EU on the other hand is now talking about taxing aircraft fuels and if that happens and the taxes are sufficiently high, trains will be more attractive, even if currently travelling long distances by rail in the EU is a huge PITA.
And it is bad. The concept of hiding what you don't agree to is really bad for discussions. I wish the fading was only due to flagging not votes.
All those claims have been addressed by its own videos (or doctors from his team), which i encourage you to view (i'm not qualified to judge on the quality of the institute researcher methodology).

my point is that youtube should clearly not take part in that scientific debate.

I have never seen any two doctors give the exact same medecine for any illness. I'm still having trouble understand why that should be the case for that one.
Delta-RS: Low level access to Delta tables in Rust
That’s an interesting argument, given that the Catholic Church was - and largely still is - opposed to Human Rights, and fought fiercely against them. Remind me, when was the last time the Catholic pope argued against woman voting rights; it was ~1950, right?
Then you have the problem of bias in human reviewers. I don't think you can solve the problem of censorship with just a few more hires.

Very possible, unless there's some other trick nowadays. AC does not go far underground or under water, but high voltage DC can be used for much longer distances.

What do you even mean? We are almost two years into this pandemic and the coincidental benefit of different countries reacting differently is that we have a pretty good understanding what the factors are that drive the spread of SARS-Cov2 and it's variants.

It's by no means perfect, but it's surprisingly good.

> Models have been proven wrong time and time again, especially in the covid crisis.

That's an important take-away: models are only as good as the assumptions, all models are wrong to some extent. This becomes especially apparent if you try to predict things, which is easy to get wrong. The real strengths of models is not to predict, but to explain.
My NUC builds uses these: https://streacom.com/products/nc2-fanless-nuc-case/

A bit more compact and alot cooler. But still you cannot compare 2nd hand prices to a new Raspberry 4, interestingly I suspect Raspberry 4 second hand prices will rise over time as nothing as robust will be made. Just like the old v7 Raspberry 2 which are very low power for what they deliver.

Now they have the Pi 4 2GB model back in stock here in Sweden at $45 after 6 months of the price being $80 because it was sold out. Eventually they will have to move on but I don't see how a Raspberry 5 could be better for my uses...

We'll see!
> ...tried to help someone with a computer issue they were having with their Windows computer- I had NO IDEA where their "Pictures" folder was, or why I kept seeing the same file in multiple places as I clicked around the file explorer. I also feel like I was confused about something to do with "Desktop", but I don't quite recall what it was. It was honestly pretty disorienting- I thought I was in a weird carnival house of mirrors.

As I understand it, there are actually N+1 of all these categories of "semi-magical" directories on-disk -- where N is the number of different users registered on the machine -- but each user only sees (and has to care about) two of each category. And the confusing bit is that Windows tries to make it look, to each user, as if there is only one of each.

That is: There is a "Pictures" directory for each user, stored in something like C:\Users\<<TheirUserID>>\Pictures. Then there is also a shared C:\Users\All Users\Pictures directory (though see further below at [1]!) for, well, pictures that you want all users to be able to see... And finally, to top it off, there's the "virtual Pictures directory", kind of an alias (or Shortcut, in Windows lingo) to two directories at once: the users own, and the shared one. Just to make it look all un-confusing and user friendly, "here's the Pictures folder, where you keep your pictures". Road, paved, etc...

So, N+1 Pictures directories where each user interacts with their own + the shared one -- and likewise for the other "magical" per-user-plus-a-shared-one directories: Desktop, Start Menu, Music, etc.

> I don't honestly know --right now-- if you can save a file to one of these virtual "Pictures" places or not.

Oh yes, sure you can.

> Or, if you do, where it would actually go.

AFAIK, the default is the user's own directory; if they want to make it shared for all users on their machine, they have to jump through the hoop of explicitly digging out the "All Users\Pictures" directory to save to.

.

[1] Now, that said, this is apparently based on out-of-date information: As I looked through my Windows 10 box to check on the directory names right now, I noticed that "C:\Users\All Users\" is apparently also, in turn a "shortcut" (=alias) nowadays, pointing to somewhere in C:\ProgramData... So the above is as of now an oversimplification. But AFAICR that was actually how it worked, with the shared all-users directory being an actual physical directory on disk, in Windows NT, 2000, and I think XP. Dunno when it changed; maybe with Vista, 7, or 8.

The modern humans that went to Asia largely stuck to the cost, and started on that route some millennia earlier than the modern humans that settled the Levant. Pre modern humans took that route far earlier, and there's growing evidence our ancestor and cousin species preceded them on it.

There were 18 chimpanzees vs. 1 silverback. While the silverback was getting harassed by 10 chimpanzees, the gorilla infant could be targetted by the other chimpanzees.

Moreover, the silverback was troubled by the presence of human observers and fled 3 minutes later, whereas the chimpanzees were habituated to the human presence.

Quotes below:

> In both events, the chimpanzees considerably outnumbered the gorillas. [...] At 17:13, the silverback charged an adolescent female chimpanzee, Gia, knocking her into the air. At 17:15, a group of approximately nine male chimpanzees (adults and adolescents), and at least one adult female chimpanzee surrounded the silverback, and repeatedly jumped down on and hit him whilst screaming and barking. [Meanwhile, the gorilla infant could be kidnapped by the other chimpanzees.] At 17:22, one adult male chimpanzee, Littlegrey, was observed sitting on the ground holding a gorilla infant in front of him.

> During the first encounter the silverback was present for 14 min [out of a total of 52 min], whilst in the second encounter the silverback was present for 10 min [out of a total of 74 min]. [...] At 12:33, the silverback discovered the human observers on the ground in a distance of approximately 30 m to the base of the tree and started barking. [...] At 12:36, the silverback rapidly climbed down the tree and fled. The chimpanzees continued barking but did not follow him. [...] We cannot rule out that the presence of human observers, in both events, may have had an effect on the unhabituated silverback’s departure and may have tilted the imbalance of power in favour of the habituated chimpanzees.
I really like your analogy, I’m stealing it. As a pilot(devops) during interviews I’m often asked deep aeronautics internals (some graphs/tree question) about whatever plane that aeronautic (software) engineer built and it’s always annoyed me that that’s a game I have to play. Same realm but completely different fields, that are somewhat and yet closely intertwined. The frequency of this is quite common

I sometimes hate joke/fantasize about nailing a SE candidate with an obscure BPG or esoteric DNS question and then being outwardly disappointed in his response, watching him realize he’s going to lose this job over something I found completely reasonable to ask, but ultimately entirely useless to his position
I had the same issue, it wasn't fixed on my last upgrade. I just let it eat some cpu : my pi is somewhat busy anyway
All of these issues have been discussed extensively for months.

According to the mRNA vaccine data I've seen, for adults the benefit of protection against COVID-19 vastly outweighs any observed risks due to the vaccine. This was already the case after the very large phase-3 studies, and much more so after real-world data from hundreds of millions of vaccinations became available. So it should not be surprising that there is a broad consensus that getting the vaccine is a good idea.

Of course the initial studies excluded riskier groups such as pregnant women and children. Now there is some data, but no general consensus between the different countries' regulatory agencies yet.

Overall, I don't see a "blank check" for the pharma companies at all. They had to conduct and publish very large studies before getting even emergency use authorizations for their products.
The comments here are disheartening looking at it from the UK. In the south of England I'm making 32k as devops lead at a small digital agency (handling the infrastructure for a collection of Wordpress sites and Umbraco sites, nothing crazy, a bit under 500k unique hits/week). It's difficult to know how hard I should be considering something else, or if thinking about it is just getting caught up in HN-comment-inflation.

What killed OS/2 was that Gordon Letwin at Microsoft figured out a couple lines of assembler to switch Windows into protected mode. Microsoft then stopped their joint work on OS/2. :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Letwin

(I did similar work on Minix 1.0 back in the day to use protected mode.)

OS/2 was dead after that except maybe in factory automation. (ie. Heinz had an automation project in the late 80's to use OS/2 for a ketchup plant.)
That would make sense if it's the case, but in that case, is it really worth it for Amazon to give up that protection for the tens of millions of dollars at stake here? I would've thought they'd still prefer to pay that.

Youtube is a privately owned platform and thus is completely free and justified to remove your videos for any reason, or without any reason at all. If you don't like it, create your own Youtube by spending billions upon billions of dollars and competing with Google who are also free to abuse their monopoly in mobile phones and search engines and web browsers to crush you.

I think you are both correct. For the frequency of such interactions here is a simple experiment (that I know to work): Follow a couple of hand picked accounts on Twitter. Over time Twitter will suggest who to follow, follow these accounts as well. Within the next 2 months or so, your Twitter feed will almost completely fill up with that cult. It feels like a completely different world, it's scary.
other distributions don't have those problems because they have no where near the user base.

serious information is for people who crosscheck their information, academically through books or through additional research. No place on the Internet is for serious information on it's own.
> It's a shame there's not more experimentation here.

It is, but partly there's a good reason: it is really hard creating a system that is better, similarly convenient but also not more prone to abuse by bots and similar attempts to gain an advantage.

The more valuable karma gets for voting, the more worthwhile efforts to "farm" karma become. Ideally you want to maximise one thing and minimise the other but they are linked.

It's like with the recent case where a large-scale mining operation was discovered, but instead of cryptocurrency they used game consoles to farm currency for EA's FIFA game which can then be sold for real money because thanks to microtransactions and definitely-not-gambling-boxes it gained real value.
Twitter has a few subgroups. They discuss and some tweet with the dominant opinion on that issue will get 1100 likes and a tweet from the minority opinion will get 400 likes. After this change you might get 800 net votes for the dominant opinion and -300 votes for the minority opinion. I think this will drive minority opinions out of Twitter and consolidate into one dominant opinion.

There also is this problem I had (have?) on HN:

I no longer dare try to go against downvotes and upvote downvoted comments that I think are perfectly fine. I did that quite a bit - and my voting rights where removed. When I asked by email my voting behavior was cited as trying to be controversial by upvoting already downvoted comments (I don't remember the exact words any more, it was well over a year ago or even much more).

I'm not complaining, the HN site owner can do whatever and has to deal with many emails and decisions every day, but it did leave a sour taste.
I thought anti-biotics in animals generate lean muscle mass? They would not get fed to them if they made animals fat.

I guess you could argue that they work differently in humans. I could certainly see that for cows and their different digestion, but pigs being omnivores are more similar.

I also think % body fat would be a better measure of obesity than BMI.

The dataclass stores stuff in a normal instance __dict__ and sys.getsize is not recursive.

namedtuples are variable-size instances, they store the attributes “inline”.

For artificial light (or mixed sources, e.g. from reflections), it is not correct. The light source is characterized by its whole distribution (which can be anything) rather than one temperature parameter (for the Planck distribution).
