An “art” exception to discrimination begets the same problem as the amorphous concept of “religion” that groups are constantly trying to use as an exception to permit discrimination.

Should a bigoted deli owner be able to refuse service to minority customers because they’re a “sandwich artist” and forcing them to provide a service would be “compelled speech”? Of course not.

But what’s “art”? And if we permit discrimination in the name of “art” where would we draw the line between art and a fungible service? Is the contractor who designed my new kitchen an artist? Can his company refuse to provide service to me for whatever reason he likes? What about the guy who painted and detailed my car? My dog groomer? The woman who does my nails? My landscaper? I’ve seen some beautiful wire work done by electricians, is that art?

Who’s to say what “art” is? And even if we could come up with a clean definition why is it a problem if we “compel” them to provide their services? We compel speech all the time.

License plates are compelled speech. 10-Ks are compelled speech. Privacy notices are compelled speech. Drug warning labels are compelled speech. Heck, in some states if you test positive for HIV you have a legal obligation to notify past sexual partners. That’s some pretty invasive compelled speech! But in an equal society your rights and beliefs, no matter how sincerely held, don’t give you carte blanche to ignore the rights of others. And the “compelled speech” argument is just a bogey man that can make any regulation sound sinister.

I mean, when you start a new VM on Hetzner (or AWS/GCP/Azure/DO/whatever) you don't memorize that address.

But cloud or not, if you setup a private network with v6 you can get a nice /48 prefix, and you give out /64 prefixes to VMs, so you'll have 48 unchanging bits to memorize (or put it into a .txt to have it near). And most of that will probably be zero anyway.

For example 2a00:1450:4001 is a /48, and 2a00:1450:4001:082b /64. Only change is "082b".

I know, it's not the same as just remembering 1.1.1.1, but most of the people working with v4 never had so simple addresses to work with. (And if we're talking about 10.0.0.0/8 and other private addresses, well, folks can continue to use them, if they want to endlessly debug NAT and static routing hacks.)
IPv6s are too cheap for most mailbox providers to take seriously. If someone sends spam, you need to block their IP, but they also need to lose money. Spammers don't care if they lose an IPv6. They'll just send spam from another.

(I don't really know what I'm talking about.)
The original announcement post of Meow Hash from 2018 at https://mollyrocket.com/meowhash said:

> […] we wanted a fast, non-cryptographic hash for use in change detection and deduplication.

and

> To our surprise, we found a lack of published, well-optimized, large-data hash functions. Most hash work seems to focus on small input sizes (for things like dictionary lookup) or on cryptographic quality.

and also

> The Meow hash is not designed for cryptography and therefore we make no claims about its security. Assume it is completely insecure.

I found it confusing then that the cryptanalysis of Meow Hash posted here said:

> The creators make a few security claims; we will break them all. In particular, we present three main attacks […]

But then looking at the Meow Hash GitHub repo I see in the README:

> Due to recent discoveries by Peter Schmidt-Nielsen, we have decided to reclassify Meow hash 0.5/calico from level 3 to level 1. This means that we recommend not to use this hash for message authentication codes, or for hash tables in scenarios where collision induced denial-of-service attacks are a concern.

> We have seen no evidence that the hash is unfit for non-adversarial/non-cryptographic purposes, and continue to believe that it is amongst the best in this regard.

> For level 3/MAC capabilities consider migrating to SipHash. Do not migrate to any hash not advertising MAC capabilities as these are almost certainly much weaker than Meow 0.5. If the performance of SipHash is not satisfying, continuing to use Meow 0.5 for hash tables is better than migrating to another fast hash. While Meow 0.5 also continue to provide some useful strength for message authentication codes, we have to stress that we strongly recommend migration in this case.

So I guess at some point the creators of Meow Hash made some claims about Meow Hash being suitable in cryptographic context between the original announcement and now.

Either way, it’s nice to see that stuff like this is being looked after and responded to, and to know about where I may want to use Meow Hash and not.
It's not really effective because it takes years to manifest symptoms of prion disease. Terrorism usually has a message attached to it, and "you're gonna start dying in 10 years" is not conducive to messaging.

It's not a utilitarian "trick" to care about numbers. No one will disagree that 2 death is worse than 1.

And people who are insensitive to numbers, I think, just don't understand math. Breaking a bone is not as bad as a death, but 100 billion people experiencing broken bones is, I would say, worse than 1 death.

No negative utilitarianism needs to be invoked to make the argument that creating suffering is bad. The claim isn't that there is no possible benefit that we could have from farming bugs (even if they are sentient), but that the expected benefits are mediocre at best (just buttressing an already horrific status quo of farming animals).

The key phrase in my sentence you quoted is "essential or necessary". In order to counter my claim you would need to explain how the benefits of bug farming outweigh the potentially horrific state of torturing trillions of sentient beings.

ps - in principle, I am on board with "happy bug farms" where the needs of bugs are met, and they are happy. If we could guarantee this, I would be for it -- more happy sentient creatures the better. But you and I know that in fact, in our world, with profits being anti-correlated with taking care of the sentient beings at factory farms, starting bug factory farms shouldn't be embraced.
I have to assume there's a decent chance that the designer started this suit to gain some attention and attract homophobic customers, and contribute to their christian marriage web dev companies brand. Could be wrong, they could just really want a fight, but with how common and easy it is to grift bigots these days it's always my first guess
“I get the feeling that the computer just skips over all the comments” (2008)
If a comment that requires at least some thinking does not have a simple TLDR, preferably as the first line, you're going to get downvotes on Reddit and Imgur.

People just aren't there to think and they have this "weapon" that they can use to shoo away anything they don't immediately understand.

It's even more ridiculous that simple one sentence or better yet, one meme comments get drives of upvotes.

You can easily automate that. Just copy and paste comments in the same thread, mix with some meme comments, and you're halfway to an account with high karma.

Begs the question, why bother participating in this bottom of the barrel mindwankery? Nothing but an addiction these days.

I say Reddit, but that platform is really a lot of smaller forums with useful information, even if you have to wade through some shit.

Imgur on the other hand, I finally couldn't stand the sheer idiocy and quit. It's amazing, and I wish I could quit this site and Reddit, too.
How are IPv6 subnet masks more complicated?
1.1.1.1 and 1.1
On a visit to Seattle, I went waaaaay out of my way to find this machine and use it. It just ate my change and didn't give me a drink. I was furious.

On the plus side, I ended up popping into a local convenience store afterward and the cashier told me "you look just like that really famous person".
It sounds like you have a lot more fear and assumption than experience here. In reality, crazy unfair downvote bombing is not even close to the norm here in my ~decade of experience. What makes you certain that someone with multiple accounts has downvoted you? Are you sure you weren’t just wrong and didn’t know it? I’ve been wrong in good faith and gotten fairly downvoted for it far, far more often than I’ve been unfairly downvoted to death for something innocuous or positive and helpful.

I have been unfairly downvoted before, but it’s just not a common occurrence. The most common way things go down are that a positive comment gets a few upvotes, once in a while gets dozens or hundreds of upvotes, and once every blue moon gets as many as 3 downvotes. On balance, positive comments have been an extremely high ratio of ups to downs.

> Why would I participate in that?

This is a good question, but you’ve constructed a straw man version of HN where everyone is against you. I think if you come at it with less fear and more curiosity, you will have a much better experience. Maybe spend more time reading without commenting and go out of your way to take special note of the positive interactions. The reasons I participate here are for the technical articles, for the wide variety of good advice on how to start and run a business, for the threads where world experts and relatively famous people participate and comment, for threads about things I love like GPUs and computer graphics, for retro computer history, and sometimes for adding comments where I hope to help people see the glass half full side of things. Good luck friend!
it's not inaccurate, it's misleading.

It could have read...

"It's what enabled Tesla to once accidentally turn off a feature for a user."

This would still make your point... that they have the capability, but wouldn't be misleading.
We are already there with laptops and laptop docks. It could certainly be a cellphone dock in the future but the phones just aren't powerful enough now. Maybe an iPhone with an M2 or M3?
They're using them, just not very efficiently. There are already rules forcing you to give up unused blocks (although they do not apply to some very old ones).
This enables to track users not only across websites but across the entire internet.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are already databases which map IPv6 subnets to real names, addresses, banking data, ...

And anyone could just use that database or contribute to it.
Randomizing the prefix makes network scans more costly.
I agree. I guess it’s just not dogmatic. Moderators and HNers are very strict about being constructive on more political topics.
Are more laws better than free market?
How did one company get so big and change all the rules in farming?

It’s hard to believe John Deere is the only company to buy from, so that leads me to lean towards maybe it’s the best company to buy from? If that’s the case shouldn’t they accept the product as it instead of trying to get legislators to change the rules?
give it a v6 address in the same way you give it a v4 address?
They would "request" low level things if something breaks because of those. That certainly happened in the past. But it is very rare. So rare that no example comes to mind right now.
If you don't mind serving stale content, you can do exactly the opposite. Instead of a relatively short TTL that gets extended for failure one can set an infinite TTL and actively eject data that's been updated. In either case, having a separate service handle checking the query and timing out the cache content that is neither part of the frontend nor backend is another thing that can break but can be a fairly simple, isolated thing that doesn't break consistently along with either the frontend or backend.
They're not bots. Bots act on logic, however simple it is. These are mostly people who disengaged their brain.
The New Leaders of Remote Work Event – August 11th
Prions are weird. I was at UCSF during the time they went from a fringe theory to an established fact and a nobel prize. The professor who studied them (Prusiner) had to overcome tons of resistance and the experiments were heroic (often waiting months for mice to die). It's really funny that everybody resisted it until somebody mentioned that there was a plausible physical mechanism of refolding catalysis.
I think this is a pretty good take. Corporate management hell changes its name and window dressing over the years - in this generation it's called "Agile" - but, it's always the same, and needs to boil down to: micromanagement, sapping individual autonomy and initiative, and homogenizing developers until they fit a mold that can be line-replaceable.
Don't Break the Chain
They mention in the article that normal protocol is to immediately soak the thumb in bleach. Not sure if that’s actually effective though, or just hopeful.
In my mind the Ranger (like the F150 of years ago) is a “normal” pickup truck. The modern F150 is seriously exaggerated even for a pickup.
> But if Google has a sophisticated virtualization layer and an efficient way of replacing bad hardware (and they do) they can ride those old machines straight into the ground, getting every scrap of life from them.

See, that's what they mean when they talk about hardware being "cattle, not pets". This is how the robot uprising starts - just think how badly they must be treating those servers!
Birdflow for Twitter – Concept to Revenue in 1 Month
“Never been shown to” is the kind of false speak I keep hearing from the government and media.

Just because you’ve never tried it doesn’t mean you have shown something.
Sure, agreed. That’s why I said “Test common mistakes due to user error. Stuff like that that.” My main point is that it’s unrealistic to expect human QA to find bugs, but what humans shine at that computers don’t is workflow issues, visual issues and “does it feel slow/bad/whatever”. I suppose leaning more heavily on the mistakes side of the workflow makes sense though, yes.

Techynically you are incorrect. Infect is the right word. Worked at the institution that established this. (I do not believe that koch's postulates cover all cases of 'infection').
There are reviews and then there are reviews: Rubber stamp security reviews happen.

I don't know much about this particular case, but I think, in general, a trustworthy review needs to be conducted by an independent body with genuine power (edit. and desire) to order things to halt permanently if they can not be made safe enough (and then there is a separate question of who makes the call "what is safe enough").
Don't prions reproduce by re-folding other proteins to match themselves?

Well, accidentally we added 96 instead of 16, oops.
There have been a few other brain implant companies before. And this one seems to have very limited bandwidth like those ones.
Selection bias is a cheap canned answer, but it doesn't make any sense here. Sensational unsolved crimes make the news. The public hearing about crimes isn't conditional on those crimes being solves. Arguably some of the most enduringly notorious crimes are the ones that go unsolved.

The Zodiac Killer; never been caught. "D.B. Cooper", never caught. The presumed murder of Jimmy Hoffa, unsolved.

That's the missing model from the Logitech lineup!

They have compact keyboards, keyboards with easy bluetooth switching, and keyboards with a builtin stand, but no one keyboard that has all three.
I've often been tempted to do that. However, we would actively be hurting our own users who would be incapable to receive mails from such servers. We'd in fact be hurting the very principles of interoperability we're defending in the first place.

Adding an auto-reply or an email footer mentioning that their providers actively hurts the email ecosystem and linking to alternatives would be a good compromise in my view.

Along with a libre email provider federation, that could go a long way...

Interesting! Could you please send a screenshot to contact@tinkerstellar.com? The app does rely on web content for some parts of the interface, but those web resources are loaded locally from device itself, without reaching anywhere outside. Do you have any local proxy configured on your device, or perhaps some restrictions (Screen Time or other) configured?
Which is doubly odd, since in the UK & Ireland traditional pubs are noticeably not focused on food. Although gastropubs and the like are starting to become more common.

Are you sure they're actually saying that?

A lot of hosting providers actually say that their data centers are ISO 27001 compliant, but that doesn't make the provider itself compliant

Given that many of his public posts are devoted to ranting against conformity of thought, it's amusing that pg designed a forum that rewards exactly that behavior.
I think the downvote brigading is getting more frequent.

Just look at the recent threads where a submission was flagged and you will see a ton of them.

Unfortunately, HN isn't showing the data behind quantities but due to the oscillations we see, there are definitely significant amounts of downvoting occuring.
You mean something like this:

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:80:80 ...

But with an IPv6 address? Which address would I use?
flipside to this idea is that corporate interests have an easier time capturing state and local governments then the federal government. JD culturally OWNS those states you are talking about.
You can assign a Unique Local Address [1] subnet to Docker. Unique Local Addresses are the IPv6 equivalent of 192.168/16, 10/8, ...

Docker's documentation explains how to assign an IPv6 subnet to Docker: https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/ipv6/ and https://docs.docker.com/network/bridge/#use-ipv6

You then can lookup a container's IPv6 address using 'docker inspect' and then directly connect to it from your host.

But capitalism. If Deere makes more money selling parts that means parts wear out too quick or are overpriced. As Bezos said, your margin is my opportunity.

What exactly do I get, as a consumer, from not being able to swap an ECU for a different one myself? What is the benefit for which I would be paying the premium?

I have never seen right to repair be framed as trying to bypass emissions. Especially considering the content of TFA and the fact that it also applies to consumer electronics and such. What makes you say that it is?
How do you figure that? Plenty cases where "would I downvote that" is not something you need to think a lot about, so "quick" != "disengaged brain".
> That's fine if it's true, if not, why tell lies?

To be clear, what started with a Puritan attitude in New England is only still in place because of lobbying from the liquor stores. No one really wants Blue Laws anymore except those who profit from them.
Great question, and I really appreciate you bringing that up. This is one that we get from many of our customers.

First, we have consulted with experts from across health care to implement the most rigorous quality standards for the professionals in our network. Not only do our clinicians have to pass tests of baseline quality (background check, licensure check, etc.), but they are also directly assessed based on their level of clinical expertise, years of experience, education level, etc. We even speak with all of our clinicians to do a basic sanity check and determine how they will present over video.

On the back end, we are currently creating processes to assess post-visit performance in a number of ways, including timeliness, patient satisfaction, etc. That will allow us to weed out lower-quality professionals and reward our higher-quality professionals.

Lastly, a key part of quality in mental health is continuity of care (a longitudinal patient-clinician relationship). Features in our product allow for our customers (health care organizations) to view our clinicians' availability and directly schedule their patients to match that availability, such that the relationship is maintained. Then, we have a number of ways (one of them being highly favorable compensation) to ensure that our mental health professionals stay with us.

I hope this helps, and happy to explain further.
Time Series Similarity Search
It's going to take a few years for companies to learn how to implement hybrid model. Especially for traditional companies with lots of works force that are grow up with the office work mentality. And I'm not only talking about how to run remote meetings, but everything including on-boarding and training new engineers and cross team collaboration.

Luckily full-remote companies have lots of good documentation about remote work. So I think other companies should start reading their playbooks or try to hire some of their talents to learn how proper remote work is done.
Not necessarily true. The loan (especially if you're borrowing 1% of the collateral value) could be non recourse [0]. In such a case the bank can only depend on the stock value for recovery.

How can I get the maximum cash for my home in Indianapolis
Best wishes with the launch. I am in constant search for a solution which can work for my father. He is running a large hardware retail/wholesale business single handed in a location not having quality accounting manpower.
Its been a search in futility so far, as there is severe need of user friendliness in the market for complete solutions(my father not that used to computers yet).
