I get this too. I doubt it's that active though at least in my case - I think hosting provider IP ranges are well known and bots just constantly throw known vulnerabilities in common web software at them to see what they can break into and backdoor.
In this case what facts changed?
That's just complete nonsense.

There's nothing inherently dangerous about torrenting on Windows, assuming you're not a moron who indiscriminately downloads warez. It's still relatively common for large files to be distributed as torrents, like game mods or Linux images.
That's just getting on your knees and begging for malware.

We're not in 2007 anymore.
Yes but in practice people often use BitTorrent on their work computer to download music, movies and malware.

One way outlets like the NYT slant their credibility into the ground is by always giving Democrats the benefit of any doubt, and never giving it to anyone else. Everything that could be good for Democrats is amplified to 11, everything that could be a bad look for everyone else is amplified to 11 in the other direction. They appear to be a lot more reliable than they actually are.
I look at it the other way around. You own any bug in your product whether it comes from a dependency or from code of your own; you have to fix the bug either way. Using a dependency doesn’t reduce your responsibility, but it does reduce the amount of code that you have to write yourself.
Maybe this is a good thing for them. While the US and EU are strongly pushing everybody to get vaccinated using a new technique in phase-3 trial. Less rich countries are pushed into trying alternatives like Ivermectin[1] and Fluvoxamine[2] that are readily available, much cheaper and are better understood.

Only time will tell.

TLDR, as the article is paywalled:

* You have to win a bunch of games against grandmasters, earning 'GM Norms', in order to become a grandmaster yourself.

* It is normal, at some contests, for lower-ranked players to pay to attend, while GMs are paid for attending.

* It is widely rumoured some contests are "norm factories" where fee-paying players get matched up with washed-up GMs who essentially throw the game.

* There are even rumours of contests where an aspiring grandmaster's parents offered cash to their opponents. There are even rumours of contests that took place only on paper.
Here is my tip: You have a second hand market of good quality Lenovo ThinkPad W520 or W530 machines. For 1/3 of the price of a "normal" recent model you can buy two, sometimes three. Throw away any hard drive and add an SSD. Some of them will have an SSD already.

I managed to collect 5 or 6 of these for less than a price of a full laptop. Very important things you will have:

- Great CPUs

- Fantastic keyboard feeling ( cant beat it..)

- Very important:No thermal issues. You can read
online reviews for the latest Dell or HP laptops to
see they cannot handle all the heat and its a common complaint.

- Not pretty, but very robust. Some of the modern laptops
are just tiny fragile plastic boxes.

- No reliability issues.

- You have a second or third always ready to go.
> Unvoiced stops (p/t/k) in isolation "pat" or "cap" are moderately aspirated. Voiced stops (b/d/g) are not like "dog" or "bad". (Leaning on this pattern as a partial hack using a feature common in a lot of European languages, is why p and b are what they are in Pinyin, and many other Chinese romanizations.)

Some languages, such as Hindi, have both the voiced/unvoiced and aspirated/unaspirated distinction, so they have 4 consonants (/t d th dh/) where English only has two (/t d/).

Hindi also has retroflex equivalents of those 4 consonants, and there are minimal pairs between all 8 of them. A typical English speaker would struggle to tell the difference between them.

For these sorts of reasons, a Romanisation of names in different languages that (1) is easy to pronounce for English speakers, and (2)
sounds like the word in the original language, is going to be a tall order.

> So Merkel is not "opting" for anything personally, just following the recommendation...

While this is true, it looks entirely different when looking into the whole context of the vaccination campaign. I am a student in Germany and like many others currently enrolled in universities or for those still in school, politics didn't seem to care at all about us.
The official STIKO recommendation nowadays (after they changed it twice) is that it should only be given to people older than 60 (or after consultation with ones general practitioner and if he agrees; in my experience, most don't for young patients).

After young people got (imho rightfully) outraged by a variety of factors, Minister of Health Jens Spahn suggested that young people who did not have the possibility to get an mRNA shot at the time, should get vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine on their own risk and against the official STIKO recommendation.

So taking into account that government officials recommended millions of young people to get the vaccine at their own risk, Merkel (and others!) just "following STIKO guidelines" seems like a weak justification.
Still to this day you have free-after-use bugs in the Linux kernel, about 20% of all known bugs in the kernel. How is this not comparable?

The New York Times (along with many other news outlets) has been known in recent years to be biased and untrustworthy to anyone that has been paying attention.

"Should we switch to Postgres" is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek comment on the desire to switch tools when things get tricky, not a real suggestion in this case.

To my knowledge, Postgres' %TEXT% pattern matching would behave very similarly to MySQL's, given the lack of indexing.

From the Postgres docs[0]:

> Textual search operators have existed in databases for years. PostgreSQL has ~, ~*, LIKE, and ILIKE operators for textual data types, but they lack many essential properties required by modern information systems:

> ...

> They tend to be slow because there is no index support, so they must process all documents for every search.

Lifetimes are an interesting illustration. They are conceptually surprisingly simple (they draw regions in time and check if one region is clearly smaller than another), but as a language feature very weird, as they are essentially a declarative language in an imperative setting. A lot people struggle with them more because they can't really _place_ the feature rather than applying it.

"Anti-aging and longevity are two different things."

Depends on what you precisely mean by longevity. The word used to mean "living long naturally", but the meaning has been shifting towards lifespan and healthspan extension in the last decade or so. So if someone now says that they are interested in science of longevity, they probably mean "reaching 110 years of age in good health".

For that, you need anti-aging tech definitely. Our natural lifespan is shorter and breeding humans for natural longevity [0], while theoretically possible, would take several thousand years.

[0] Theoretically, you could take a big group of humans who are still fertile at 40, let them reproduce and, in the next generation, lift the limit slightly, say, to 40,5. After tens of generations, you will have a group selected for longevity, because late fertility tends to align with longevity. But given how long our generations are, that would take a long, long time.
>> It's insanely hard to avoid that main stream media content

Really? I spend a not-small amount of time online. I'm typing this at work right now. But I don't feel any pull to celeb culture whatsoever. Then again, I do not use facebook/twitter/Instagram. I watch YouTube but haven't ever commented or liked a video. The only real internet "drama" I am following currently is the Blizzard-Activision thing, and then only because NerdCubed put out a video about it. But I haven't really played let alone purchased a AAA title in a long while. (I think the latest game I bought was Subnautica 2.)

The internet is as bad/good as you want it to be. If you don't like the content you are exposed to stop exposing yourself to it. Go read something else. There are lots of horrible books in this world, far more bad than good, but few people talk about abandoning reading.

Short answer: Until a celebrity or pop culture story hits the BBC New front page, it isn't worth my time.

What you're describing is not really a suburb, though. Suburbs are built around a city, it's in the name, sub-urban. Commuting downtown for your job is the core to the idea of the suburb.

You're describing a nice, low density, urban place.

You don't need to commute to downtown by bike. Really, you just need to commute to a metro station, somehow, either by bike, by bus, or by your own two feet.

When I was a kid, I had the chance of being able to go to school alone. That is the real solution for families - we need to make an environment where it is possible for kids to move themselves safely. Nowadays, even in my fairly walkable and nice city of Montréal, this isn't really possible anymore.

Anyways, I think you really underestimate what is possible using public transport. It takes around 40 minutes for me to commute from a low density borough of Montreal, Ville Saint Laurent, which is full of SFH, to an office downtown, without using a bike at all. That compares very well to 30 minutes in a car. And this can still be improved considerably. Thankfully, I don't work downtown, and instead it takes me around 25 minutes to get there without a car.

Before that, my family of 6 lived in a duplex, from which you could bike downtown in 30 minutes flat.

You can definitely build spaces where families can live and still get to work and to school in around half an hour. The key is to make it possible for children to get where they have to go by themselves, safely, as fast as possible, and to have enough public transit and bike accommodations for older people to get downtown - which is the worst case - in 30 minutes more or less.

Around 2 million people live in Montreal. Our public transit system is not great at all. 55% of people in the island commute to work every day. I know people that commute from the suburb of Laval all the way downtown in less than an hour using only public transit, and that's a family of five. We can do much better still. There are ways for people to live comfortably as a family without going to the North American suburb, while still having cities with more than a million people.

Also, simply building offices in the suburbs as they exist right now isn't going to be helpful - try commuting even within a normal suburb by bike for 30 minutes and you're going to see why. It's damn near suicidal.
Many NirSoft utilities get detected. Not sure if it's still true, but back in the day it was surprisingly common to find them embedded in password stealing malware, it'd basically run a few different password dumpers, make a zip and send it off to an FTP site. Minimal software development knowledge necessary as the whole operation could be done from a batch script.

Particularly bad malware too since anyone who reverse engineered it could get the FTP site password and download/delete all their stolen passwords.

The mystery of Covid-19 reinfections: A global systematic review and analysis
I think I get what you're going for and see some value but my gut reaction is that the person receiving the remittance and who is on the ground probably has more local knowledge/context to decide what to do with the money than you or the person sending it (with exceptions like if they have diminished mental faculties). In my understanding, this is why charities like Givedirectly which does direct cash transfers to the worlds poorest people, have focused on this approach - because a donor (or remitter) has less knowledge and less at stake than the person receiving or purchasing services. I guess my main complaint is that it just feels really paternalistic.
"Deaths from COVID ‘incredibly rare’ among children"

I think the answer has to do with calls to action and the assumption users make that the cursor hand is a link to another web page or another part of the site, while not all buttons are hyperlinks. Probably not as much of an argument in these days, though, especially as most sites are single page applications where basically every button does indeed do some sort of reroute, target blank (new tab), or network call at the very least.

Also, to be pedantic, not all buttons are entirely clickable, only small portions of them.

Edit: Interesting that HN doesn't use the cursor hand for reply / updating. ;)
No. The story is about disinformation. Whether someone does it for money or ideology doesn’t matter, lies are lies and the NYTimes is not an innocent party here.

A few years back I backpacked into Kosovo from Macedonia with a bunch of people I met at a Hostel. There were 2 Israelis backpacking the world after having done their offensive service, as Israelis tend to do.

After the rest of us had crossed, these guys spent a solid 30 minutes trying to haggle with the border guard, who eventually got tired of the nonsense, stamped a denial on their passports, and physically pushed away from the doors.

That's pretty much my experience with every occupier I've met in Palestine and New York. They weren't just being cheap, they clearly felt entitled to something more than the rest of us goyim.

As to bernie sanders? Shrug. He's just another loud-mouthed New Yorker who speaks instead of listening and tries to force his ideas of righteousness on a populace who primarily disagrees with him. Sounds about right bro.
Crafting the Bussard Ramjet
I live in Denmark.

The limit for the top tax bracket here is about $86k, after which you pay 15% of the difference between your salary and the top tax bracket limit.

The average salary for a software developer in Denmark is around $80k, but $100k+ salaries are pretty common, and at my company the ceiling is about $130k.
> But the Justice Department investigation is focused on conduct that occurred years ago, when Tether was in its more nascent stages. Specifically, federal prosecutors are scrutinizing whether Tether concealed from banks that transactions were linked to crypto, said three people with direct knowledge of the matter who asked not to be named because the probe is confidential.

Notably this is for events some time ago. Investigators haven’t gotten far enough ahead to formally file anything relating to the events of March 2020 to present, when Tether added ~$60 billion in tokens and claimed to be one of the largest commercial paper holders in the world.

(No one in the commercial paper sector has heard of them)

To be clear, by saying it is from some time ago I am not dismissing it. This is extremely serious for Tether.

My current hustle is subartistic, namely three-sided cards that are carefully designed and printed and also have digital twins linked through QR codes and sometimes NFC.

I maintain a high production rate and also continuously improve quality, I want people to visit my world which is just a bit better than what they are used to. When I fall short I feed back what I learn to make the next one better. I rarely need post it notes, book marks, or the like because I take notes on reject cards that most people would think are perfectly fine.

I was a little infatuated with my fitness instructor who also runs a theatre troupe and she invited me to a play she was putting on, I went with my family and sister-in-law. It was awful, one of the actors didn’t even have a clean shirt.

She did the work to draw me in and I could have been an advocate in so many ways (already I bought 4 tickets to her show) but she blew it.

So for me being competitive is like that; I go to a a bad show and resolve I am not going to put on a bad show.

(I am not in "show biz" now but I feel like I compete on some level with every kind of visual art, imaging, entertainment, web service, etc. I look a book set in Palatino and see the serif on an "r" practically making love to the curve of the "s" next to it and think why can't I get my character spacing like that? Maybe two years out I want to do a comedy sketch with a video game character and it seems like an almost impossible mountain to climb but when I do it I want people to unambiguously think it was one of the best things they'd every seen.)

I'm Scottish-American immigrant. Pronunciation is a funny thing.

Marry (tie the knot), Mary (the person), and Merry (happy at Christmas). My parents and I pronounce them differently (mah-ry, mai-ry, meh-ry). My younger sister, who lacks any Scottish accent, pronounces them the same. Same with the woman's name Carrie/Kerrie - same in the US, but subtly different in Scotland.

Then there's the "wh" sound. More of a "hwh" sound vs the American plain-old "w". Lots of teasing from friends when I say white or wheels or which.

This all used to cause good-natured fun for my mom and her peers, as she was an ESOL teacher.
