5 Habits of Highly Ineffective Remote Workers
> There's a checkbox to encrypt the disks when installing some linux distros.

While I'm not going to defend moving around unencrypted disks it is not as simple as that.

The difficult part is not the encryption. The difficult part is the key management of the encryption. You need to solve issue like ensuring you don't lose access to the keys (and thereby access to the data), securely providing keys to people and machines that need access, dealing with key revocation when people leave the company, etc.

Though I guess in this case using a simple (long enough) passphrase instead of some form of keys could have saved them from this particular threat.
Maybe researchers who kill themselves with dangerous infectious agents are a sign that precautions are inadequate and deserve scrutiny.
Not necessarily in a satirical science fiction.
At the current rate (approximately linear over the last 10 years), in just 30 more years we'll have 100% adoption.

Realistically adoption will slow down if nothing changes, everyone willing to put the effort in for zero immediate reward has already done so, and some will allow their support to degrade due to low usage.

At some point I guess ipv4 availability will really start to collapse and adoption will speed up again.

Not sure which will come first to be honest, but better if adoption is relatively high when the shit evebtually hits the fan, to avoid the temptation of insane NAT solutions.
I'm coming to agree with you. The platonic example of this has to be Neward's "Object-Relational Mapping is the Vietnam of Computer Science" article. This thesis and summary of this article are utterly amazing and everybody should read them. It has a history of how we got here, a summary of ways forward, and an analysis of each solution's pros and cons. Too bad at least half of the article is a painful tortured amateur analysis of the Vietnam War which ultimately does not tie into the topic of the paper at all.
Private addresses are free, so there's no cost to keeping them.

If you only had a PC speaker, yes, although some games sounded better. At some point in the 90s, Sound Blaster cards started getting popular and those sounded way better than this example.

Out of curiosity - did you get any users feature-requesting HTTP/2 or HTTP/3? SameSite cookie attributes? jquery library version upgrade? Anything low-level like that...

That doesn’t make sense as stated. The company offering IPv4 doesn’t get the revenue. It’s an increasing cost to them that they will try to minimize.

It might make a bit more sense as justification to raise retail prices, but there is a risk that competition will undercut that price.
"Software is IT captured"? What does that mean? You can have Python running and be creating software in an hour.
I was thinking that the downvote brigade (to use a reddit term) is actually promulgating a type of ideological conformity litmus test on HN users.

If you post/comment in a certain manner you get upvoted and break into the potential downvoters. Otherwise, you stay in purgatory of the middlings.
Why is discrimination in this sense bad?
Well, it is not like I do regression testing by manually trying "the main features" of my applications. I have many hundreds of automated tests.

But since my dev environment runs in Docker, how would I test IPv6? I did some googling now and it seems that would not be an easy feat.
It probably is.

Moderation itself is an attempt at a solution. And it is a solution on a small enough scale. But when you're literally dealing with moderating the entire world 24/7, there just aren't the resources to deal with that.

You're attempting to automate that or kick that can back to the users. But just like here, just like reddit, just like StackOverflow, just like every single site that relies on community moderation that gets big, time beats all.

It'll be fine for a while and you'll think you've solved the issue, but then you'll tip and become larger than you can socially manage. And those with the most time will skew your samples and votes.
It's a self-replicating protein fold. Infection is correct. (I Did prion research in grad school)
My ISP assigned my home an IPv6 address, but the net result is that I get captchas and bot checks endlessly. Even a simple grocery order on Walmart's website yields a dozen "Are you a robot" interruptions during a session.
I see your point! I totally do. I also used to hold this belief. But then the Snowden revelations came out and it was revealed that probably 10,000 people in government were aware of a system that was sucking up all of our data for warrantless search and they had successfully kept the secret for something like 10 years (or more?).

For sure it's true that a secret can be kept by three people if two of them are dead. But there are clear cases where large groups of people have been able to keep secrets as well, or at least keep them from spilling out into public awareness.

I'd bet that for most crimes, the secret isn't kept, and there is someone else out there that knows who did it, who simply doesn't tell law enforcement. And yet most serious crimes aren't solved.

Humans have a real need to tell other people personal things, even to their own detriment. But sometimes things stay secrets even if tons of people know about them.
Could a cure be to stop proteosynthesis of the prion-protein?

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/artful-amoeba/prions-ar...

"This protein, in its healthy, properly-folded state, is, if not trivial, relatively unimportant. Its complete loss is certainly not catastrophic."

I have no idea how to block proteosynthesis of a single protein in humans, maybe more biologically attuned HN:ners can comment what it would mean (I'm totally clueless of cellular biology).
I always find the assumption that quick reactions are "bots" a bit weird. If I click on an active discussion, some comments will be "0 minutes" old (like yours right now, although it won't be when I submit this comment, because typing takes time - but downvoting doesn't). If I click on "comments" tab on HN, all comments there are new. So it's not particularly surprising that many people see your comment very shortly after it is posted on an active site like HN and react to it immediately.
I’m FIOS with an IPv6 address right now.

I first discovered this when I started presenting a terraform demo from home, and it broke because at least one of the AWS modules didn’t support IPv6. When developing I only used my Xfinity connection, which gives an IPv4 address. Apparently my laptop had switched to my other wifi Network right before the presentation. Luckily the interviewer was understanding, and we used the experience as a troubleshooting exercise.
In Switzerland it is a level of insanity above this. Major ISPs are now promising 10Gbit and 25Gbit fibre to the home, but only one ISP natively supports IPv6 (init7, not the country's major provider Swisscom).

This is utterly bonkers. While the ethernet cables they give out can likely do 10Gbit (but definitely not 25Gbit) very few people have 10Gbit-capable ethernet or wifi chipsets and there is no way they will actually be able to routinely transmit data at this speed.

Swisscom do 6rd and don't offer static IPv6 either presumably because of how 6rd works. So it is a pain to configure anything except using their own box.

Viruses are nothing like bacteria, so it doesn’t make any sense to restrict the term of “infection” to those two.
As I've thought about this, the conservative in me has reared its head and asked, "Why is this a federal issue?"

And the more I think about it, the less of an answer I have. This primarily affects farming states, which are in a really good position to pass laws that force manufacturers to either comply or leave the state. California has had good success doing this with other things (e.g. emissions standards), and farming is a niche enough category that JD can't afford to just ignore an entire state of farmland.

I don't live in such a state. I know some of the story, but it's not my problem and it's a bit presumptuous for me to step in and assume that I understand it well enough to solve it. Federal legislation usually does a bad job of solving the original problem anyways, after all of the sides are done negotiating over it. Far better for the farmers of Nebraska to directly appeal to their state legislators and get a bill that truly addresses the issue.
I think it’s more that if you have a bad or unstable interface between services it’s way worse than if it’s an internal interface within a single service. Successful SOA requires extremely good judgement and foresight in order to get the tradeoffs right. Even the word microservices coupled with “code craftsman” consultants peddling just-so rules of thumb about how big services “should be” without any specific domain context has lead a generation of engineers down a path of hard lessons about understanding your use case before blindly reaching for a pattern.

Might you or anyone else have some recommendations for books or other resource on large scale search architecture that you think are are worthy reads on the subject?

I would also be interested in hearing if you or anyone else might ave any similar resources you could recommend on the subject of "search ranking"?
I get where you're coming from.

There is special handling in place for Google APIs/services so they can accessed from private networks, billed differently from external traffic, etc:

The "currently" implies that IPv6 support is coming. (Although I don't actually know if or where it's on the roadmap.)
eh, mildly. I don't have any insurance not issued through my company. But a relatively high income adult male needs insurance I guess.

I was more so annoyed by the content of the ad. A new trend in advertising is showing customers worship the corporation, giving their employees excessive gifts to thank them for providing their service.

I find it super creepy.
This is the end state of alienated from your labor. Total acceptance of exploitation. Kinda sad tbh.
It's not as bad on HN in my opinion, for a few reasons:

1. Comments cannot fall below -4 points

2. Downvoted comments only get greyed out, not hidden entirely

3. Most topics on HN are not political (though there are certainly exceptions)

4. The community here is (usually) a bit more mature than on other sites like Reddit
Eh, in Germany most ISPs will only give you DSLite for new contracts - Dual Stack Lite where you only get a NATed private IPv4 address but full IPv6 connectivity.
Hey, wanted to respond to your comment because mine could come off as unhealthy.

I simply mean that I'm old enough, have experienced enough that there are very few people in the world that can say something which I haven't already been told or I haven't imagined myself. Some rando on the net can't possibly hurt.

But yeah, I don't mean to suggest suppressing your feelings.
Exactly, mostly cellphones and high-tech surveillance has made the FBI's job much easier. That and today when everything is labelled 'terrorism' they get some friendly help from the intel community. Where in that case even hiding in a bunker in Pakistan next to a military base is only saving you a number of years.

In this casino story they already had a 6-person SWAT team flying high enough not to be detected, above the helicopter doing the planned cash drop. While the solo helicopter pilot was a special agent armed with an MP5 and night vision, and a bag with fake $3 million of bills and every intention to catch or shoot the guy picking up. All of this was organized while the timer of the bomb was ticking down.

Given the low odds, it's boils down to an over-complicated suicide mission, with high risk of it not working out. Nor any point even if does. With the financial system also under a ton of surveillance and the involvement of his family and even one of their girlfriends.

It's no wonder that this sort of thing has become a rarity even for the clever ones like this guy.
That’s a good way to suddenly get those organizations to magically start using those IPs suddenly - if you threaten to take unused IP blocks away, I’m sure those orgs will somehow find a way to “use” them.
I assume you mean because LE is splitting resources and also dealing with drug cases. I think it wouldn't be unrealistic to have the drug cases fund themselves through seizures. I wonder how bad of an ROI our LE gets on drug investigations.
I don't think you should be thinking about factories just yet. There is an ecosystem around startup hardware makers.
For custom parts, you can order 3D printing shops, or better, buy a 3D printing machine if you have the money.
For parts that are metal, get a machinist, or get the machines yourself if you plan on rapidly iterating (manual mill/lathe machines could do most thing. CNC if you could afford it).
If you make electronics, there are plenty of PCB prototyping services nowadays, where you send in a design and get a few boards to test.
A good side effect of doing it this way is you have total control and ownership of your product, no single factory owns your whole production line. And you don't need to order 10,000 for them to pick up the phone.
I'm a software engineer but have always been interested on how to make physical stuff, and I tinker with Arduino, Raspi etc projects regularly. Just my 2 cents.
I used to frequent a dive bar that was a converted auto shop. It was owned by around 15 friends, just a big co-ownership deal. One of the bartenders, who I really did love, had one main weakness... he'd give free drinks out, especially to attractive ladies. One time, one of the fifteen co-owners saw him at it and fired him on the spot. I liked the new bartender but they didn't have the same charm and personality, and they were much less good at trivia.
Let’s say I buy a motorcycle to deliver packages and it fails due to size constraints. That doesn’t make motorcycles useless, it means I chose the wrong tool.
It is because you don't hear about the cases which don't slip up.

Orbiter never tried to bring in any money. It has always been a one-physicist pet project (first version published in 2000), closed-source albeit very open to all kind of mods and featuring a vibrant community.
It's not generally government subsidy, its "corporate ethics" which is to say PR and investor relations. It "looks good" and attracts business, especially government.

Not giving users who connect to the gateway directly a v4 address seems like a decent security feature.
Bit of a stretch, but I think it can be attributed to the overall reduction in crime since the early 90s, most likely brought upon by the elimination of lead in gasoline.
> By this logic, every service ever can be compelled to do anything, because by definition they are the only one creating something of that quality and nature.

Only in the context of civil rights discrimination, which is very established for publicly traded companies, but I'm not so sure about smaller business.

I had neighbors who were unable to buy houses through a real estate agent in the 1970s because they were black, I am not sure what was and wasn't illegal in the discrimination given the weird rules for private people, clubs, etc, but if I remember correctly a realtor from a large concern (Coldwell Banker?) ultimately gave them service.

Auto-Generated Repository Pattern in Laravel
I'm about to cutoff my father for attacking me for not supporting his political views, which are woefully curated by Rupert Murdoch. Thanks for nothing Rupert.
Yes. Peer pressure is a natural part of tribal or communal affiliation. A culture is a set of norms, customs, and beliefs common to a group. Maintenance and propagation of that culture requires a complex combination of positive and negative social feedback in order to keep those beliefs persisting, part of which is peer pressure.

Extreme peer pressure can be bad, just as any social extreme is bad. But it isn't universally bad if used sparingly and for a reason.
Kinda a morbid question but could you just sever the finger moments after the prick? Or would the blood pump so fast that the prion(s) is already in your body.
Right-wing, yes - but not white supremacist.

If you're conflating those two things I think you need to re-evaluate the political spectrum and realize it's a lot more varied than you think.

It should be mentioned that this was different from the usual exclusion of women. Women were mostly discriminated from outside the group of those playing games.
Yes, last moth. Bubble is such a nightmare to use and learn that it’s simply easier to learn something like Vue with Firebase. Just to get a basic value from JavaScript code to display in UI, you need to put together this weird pipeline sort of logic. The back end requests aren’t really back end, the logic is still front end regardless of where the code is executed. The result is there is no way to implement a queue. Using an API that rate limits, can’t use it in Bubble. For API calls things have to map into their weird data types and in their world, a phone number is an integer.

But the biggest issue is that learning curve is even higher than tools like react. And the steps to do basic things are so tiresome it’s just easier to write code. UI prototyping is fast, sure. But not much faster than tailwind.
Infect is exactly the right word.

Infectious disease is also called transmissible diseases. Infectious microorganism or agent can be a virus, bacterium, protozoan, prion, viroid, or fungus.
My heart breaks for these families. I can't help but wonder if the labs are taking the necessary precautions in terms of prion disposal.

I can't imagine the prions are allowed down the drain....
Is this even possible? By what mechanism could a prion disease become airborne?

Viruses have evolved to more easily infect cells in the respiratory tract for this specific purpose, but prions are much less sophisticated.

It seems there may be some evidence they can evolve, but enough to hijack cellular machinery in such a way that they could increase the concentration in the respiratory tract enough to transmit?

Seems a bit far fetched but I’m no prion expert.
Half the population and the vast majority of purchasing power.
That's the key error in the ruling. It's sort of correct in the narrows but it ignores the idea that the marketplace is a set overlapping and partially nested industries of increasing specificity, not a discrete collection of separate markets, which would force the reductio ad absurdum that majority reached but accepted as a valid conclusion.
Drug prohibition also drives up murder rates massively. For your typical turf war murder, even the victims' side has little incentive to talk to the cops.

Yeah, that's exactly it. (E.g. at my local bar the regulars can just add another tally on the sheet at the bar and grab a beer.) Dive bars / neighborhood bars are just a shared living room with beer.

The catch is that something called a "pub" in most of the US implies it's a bit fancier.

Somewhere you're going for dinner, but not to chat with random folks. That's not necessarily the case in the midwest, but still, something labeled as an "Irish Pub" or "British Pub" here is going to be 1) slightly more upscale and 2) focused more on food.

So what you'd call a pub is a "dive bar" or "neighborhood bar" over here.

Food is typically a potluck or something grilled outside, as having a kitchen would make it a restaurant and result in different inspections/rules/etc. There's probably a potluck anytime there's a big game on TV. You're _highly_ likely to run into your neighbours. There will probably be at least one bar dog or bar cat.

Logitech has a few models with a builtin phone stand, too, so you can prop up the phone or tablet as you type. They all have number pads, though, instead of the compact layout.

Update: If you click to the "Tablet Keyboards" section instead of the regular "Keyboards" section, there's the K480 which is a compact model with phone stand: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/mobile/keyboards Why that's not listed in the regular keyboard section remains a mystery...

Do mouse cursors work on iPhones yet or just iPad OS? Because there's other models that have a trackpad on the side, which could be neat. Ah, there's an accessibility setting to enable it, but it's not the same as the iPad OS mouse support.
