Not related to this change in particular, but: mkinitcpio is neat to me because it is one of the last pieces of bespoke distro-specific software that's stayed on my radar.

It used to be that distros had to come up with huge piles of distro-specific scripting to build a complete system, but the trend has been to create independent projects so that each distro doesn't need to reinvent things. Distros used to have a lot of custom bootup scripts, which have been largely replaced by modular components of systemd. For many distros, the scripts for creating the init ramdisk have been replaced by Dracut; but not on Arch Linux and derivatives, Dave Reisner's mkinitcpio is still going strong. And it's interesting that Arch is being a holdout with Dracut, when they were one of the first adopters of systemd.

Okay so I get that this is a really important result, but I worry about the reflexive, reductionist media narrative that's forming around this as potentially being even more damaging to these children then the pandemic itself.

If anything this just goes to show how dependent these kinds of metrics are on socialization and specific cultural factors. Pegging these children as simply "unintelligent" could be a tragically self fulfilling way to take this result, and sadly I think the ball is already rolling on that.

There's no question that the pandemic will have huge effects on the cognitive, social and emotional development of children of all ages, and I get the concern here. But to just collapse all of these developmental differences down to this kind of hand wavey "they're not that bright" pathology really misses an opportunity to discover and affirm the unique sensitivities and strengths that these children might have the potential to lean into.

Not to mention that they are currently in the process of learning all the stuff they missed out on during quarantine. Yes, in a different order than usual. But no that doesn't mean they're somehow deficient, it means they're going to have to rely on sensibilities that may typically be unfamiliar to those of us who have been socialized in more conventional ways.

I've met some pandemic babies and they all had this calm, quiet sense of fascination and awe in being present with people. Does that mean they're cognitively deficient? Or are they just experiencing life in a radically different way? One that will cause them to develop different sensibilities and ways of interacting with the world?
This is why I think that companies should make salaries public. Compensation negotiation is not a skill needed for performance of a job, and hiring managers will have more experience than the candidate.

"Cancel Culture" - while a social problem in terms of Gamergate-style harassment - has mostly just boiled down to "your boss" getting to moderate your online speech and side-gigs.

> Major-General Haibatullah Alizai, who was the commander of Afghanistan’s Special Operations Corps when it hosted Siddiqui in Kandahar, told Reuters it was evident now that, in fierce fighting, his soldiers withdrew from Spin Boldak and left behind Siddiqui and two commandos accompanying him, mistakenly thinking they had joined the retreating convoy. His account was corroborated by four soldiers who say they witnessed the attack.

The article uses the word abandoned, but it's not clear based on this account that he and the two soldiers with him were. Abandonment would imply knowingly leaving them behind. This could definitely be a fog of war situation in which they were expected to have moved and did not. No one thinks straight getting shot at unless they are an experienced professional.

Not quite.

A key derivation function needs to have a lot of the same properties as a pseudorandom function (which is the space cryptographic hash functions occupy), but with additional requirements.

1. It needs a secret input. This is the password (for Password KDFs) or Initial Key Material. Cryptographic hash functions do not.

2. It needs to satisfy a stronger security model. See section 3 of this paper, especially definition 7: https://eprint.iacr.org/2010/264.pdf

There's some overlap (Argon2id, scrypt) between PHFs and KDFs. There's exclusion in both categories. Bcrypt is a PHF, not a KDF. HKDF is a KDF, not a PHF.
If Coinbase is a custodian and crypto is a commodity, why do we not see more court complaints when a financial custodian is allowing the theft of an asset with no resource for the owner (does not apply self custody of course)? Their Custody subsidiary is even regulated by New York State Dept of Financial Services [1].

Coinbase won't take the issue seriously until courts and regulators incur liability for their practices.

If you plan to use the Librem 5 (or Pinephone like me), I would highly recommend setting up a Matrix server. They're very easy to administer, hardware requirements have been dropping for months, and it means you don't have to switch chat apps.

Would it be nice to switch to whatever your preferred messenger is? Absolutely. But some people won't make the jump, and this allows you to switch more completely to the Linux phone.

The article actually says the exact opposite. Can you read? Here's the quote:

"That doesn’t mean that modern whistled speech is a vestigial remnant of those protolanguages, Meyer cautions. If whistling preceded voiced speech, those earliest whistles wouldn’t have needed to encode sounds produced by the vocal cords. But today’s whistled languages do, which means they arose later, as add-ons to conventional languages, not forerunners of them, Meyer says."

> This is something that people are unaware of (sort of on purpose), but barbershops in black communities become ad-hoc community centers, where black men can just go and be among other black men.

This isn't specific to blacks. I've seen it first hand in every culture that has barber shops. Which is every culture.

The key ingredient is that the barbers are members of their community and there's work culture (or lack of work culture depending on the individual) that provides enough free time to actually congregate.
I wish this had the effect of politicians no longer being allowed to use Twitter in order to express any type of public opinions.
Unless it comes with the ability to eject participants, how would that help?
These stories is literally the reason why I will fight for Uber/Lyft at this time.

>$3M or $500K

Alternatively, renting or staying in a hotel/resort is _significantly_ cheaper than $500k, even amortized over 10 years. TBD how much you can sell your timeshare back for at the end, but I'd argue the risk + the significant upfront capital + not getting to put your crap in your expensive rental™ makes it a tough sell for all but a small niche.

>let market decide not folks on HN

I'd point out that a number of the threads on this are more upset that this seems to be a timeshare system that dodges regulations around timeshares, just as Uber is a cab system that dodges cab regulations and AirBnB is a BnB/home rental. It's more anger that these startups raise massive cash to distort the markets in ways that have some advantages but aren't always long-term positive, and it takes regulation too long to catch up. Comparing regulation dodging timeshares to iPhones feels disingenuous.

In an ideal world, people would largely communicate ideas face-to-faced and keep text communication to a minimum. The average person needs to hear voices that don't originate from their own heads. We're creating entire generations of narcissists who, because they have the capability to read and have been taught that their opinions "are just as good as anyone else's" have decided that echo chambers are appropriate places to find themselves.
I hate NIMBY attitudes as much as the next person, but there's a distinction between a house being owned by two people, and a hotel.

This is so horrifying in so many ways. Slave labor, forced religion, and further contribution to pain and suffering in the meat industry. It reminds me of a recent article where meat companies in the UK are also trying to get prisoners for their own slave labor. I thought that stuff only happened here. Needs to be a serious overhaul of this loophole which allows slave labor from incarcerated or as an alternative to incarceration. Hillary Clinton's household staff was from such a prison labor program at one point.

yeah I'm also just waiting for nitter to break. but frankly by now I'm just there to follow @mntmn and the comments in their threads.

Deleting the account was actually what helped me break my twitter habit; without an account the UI is so annoying it works as an effective dopamine inhibitor.

anyhow, @mntmn is also on mastodon and MNT Research also run a cosy Discourse instance, so I'm welcoming this as twitter taking their place next to the facebooks, tumblrs amd myspaces in the ranks of self-obsoleted social media.
I use a SlimBlade at work, and have not had that problem. If you find it difficult to depress that large, flat button, try something with a different click mechanism. I use an Elecom Huge at home, another mouse with an oversized trackball. I use it for work and gaming, and find it very snappy to operate. The left-click is clicked inwards with your thumb, instead of downwards like the Kensington balls. Uses a different muscle. You might miss the ball-scrolling, but only the SlimBlade has that mechanism.
Logically it has to be 600, no? Which makes no sense.

But doesn’t it place a reasonable scale upon what a trade might look like.
- okay, but the trouble is the way this car works, if we give you the ability to disable the speed limiter, there's literally no way we can do that that doesn't also open up the possibility that when you turn on the radio, the radio station might broadcast an ad that causes an uncontrolled acceleration.

This - this piece here is the fallacy in your argument. There absolutely are ways to do this. Matter of fact, Apple themselves have a nice little set of digital keys that lets them turn all these locks off as they please.

So the argument is not "We have no way to do this safely" it's "We don't believe you (the owner of the damn device) can be trusted to do this safely."

Which brings me right back to - you don't own the damn thing.
No, I'm saying that black communities are disproportionately affected by poverty. Simply put, country clubs are not an option for the vast majority of Black Americans, not to mention the overt racism.
I’ve wondered about the feasibility of jailbreaking Tizen. Ads aside, my 2019 HDR TV has a bug where HDR10+ content will drop to 1/2 brightness every 6 minutes to the second, until I open the menu. That will reset the 6 minute counter, but it never stops. It’s infuriating.

It affects the 2020 models too, but by the looks of a very long forum thread it seems to have been fixed with a software update. They have no interest in fixing the older models, but maybe some enterprising hacker would.

I want to say fuck Samsung and that my next TV will be LG, but LG have ads in the menus too. Judging by reviews, most high-end Sony panels cost more money but are missing features I value like VRR.

It’s really shitty, there is basically no amount of money you can spend to get both a high-end panel and a user experience that isn’t fucking awful.
There are selection biases when it comes to immigration to the first world that select for things like emphasis on high educational attainment/striver mentality, plus common cultural differences we see with immigrants from all over with respect to the relative strictness of parenting. Recent immigrants from Africa are also not coping with the multigenerational trauma of slavery, Jim Crow, &c., in the way that black Americans generally are.

None of that means that recent Ghanaian-American immigrant families aren't also subject to anti-black racism in the United States in a way that is important, potentially unifiying, formative for their children who grow up experiencing it, etc.
For larger subs, yeah. For smaller, specialised topical subs, I will defend them until Reddit forces a similar requirement as Twitter here.

This is a wake up call for us to make free and open source Smart TV operating system so we can stop this tyranny.

Or to just stop buying "Smart" televisions.

People on HN like to say that buying a regular display panel without any of the "smart" features is cost-prohibitive, but it isn't.

A few months ago I did some comparison shopping on B&H, and the price difference was very small. Sometimes within sales tax range.

My next TV will be a regular display panel, and it will be the "smartest" decision I can make.
The problem is finding non smart TVs anymore. It used to be that WalMart would have a tv or two that were still just display devices but I haven't seen a non smart tv for sale in quite a while.

Honestly, I'm not a big one for regulation, but I think those TVs should have a large print notification somewhere that says they're spying on you - although people would probably accept the convenience tradeoff.
Reddit seems perfectly usable as an unauthenticated user. I know they present a more spammy version to users landing from google, but nothing is blocked behind more than a click or two. I think that's just good business sense because you want to monetize your firehose of less engaged users and coddle the ones that are more engaged and producing content.
Everyone is afraid of what the social media giants will do next. Everyone prays every day "Please let them keep me on their platform". How can we get rid of this fear and achieve peace of mind?

Unfortunately, even a federated systen like Mastodon is not a solution to this. The url of a Tweet/Toot is still domain/user/postid. If the domain owner f*cks you over, you are simply helpless.

Maybe a content addressable social media software is needed?

Maybe something can be build with blockchain tech so that it simply is not possible to remove a post as it would break the whole chain?

Wouldn’t this prevent US politicians and government agencies from using Twitter? I believe there is some standard about official communications being freely available.

There were plenty of photos and videos of people wheeling bodies into giant big rigs in NYC. Sometimes using a fork lift. CNN even has articles as recent as May 2021 talking about how those trucks are still full of dead bodies.

This is all just a search away. So I don't know where you got the idea that this stuff is being hidden due to political ideology.

I don't understand how you can not list six ways it could have been done better. The US runs it's own visa program. There is nobody except the US to blame for the existence of a single Afghan who worked with them and did not have a permanent US visa for their family before the deadline to leave. And if internal American incompetence prevented that, then every one of them should have had an emergency visa that allowed them to fly out on American planes to America and be processed there.
Now it makes sense!

Thanks a lot
Apple is also sabotaging the Bluetooth Low-Energy standard, by blocking apps from registering certain standard service IDs. For example, iOS doesn't allow apps to provide a HID-over-GATT service, which could be used to implement HID-compliant peripherals (i.e. keyboard, mouse, game controller, etc.).

When you try to launch a BLE service with the required identifier, the framework simply throws an error: "The specified UUID is not allowed for this operation." :-)

This is why there are no Bluetooth keyboard/mouse/trackpad apps in the AppStore, while there are many on Android.
That they're not a valid option for a large percentage of the population.

Me neither.

I can fathom not wanting random Apple or government employees pawing through my personal shit, especially because, and you will discover this if you talk to any competent defense attorney, LEO incentive is not to bring criminals to justice, but to get convictions. There is a huge difference.

No they should sell it as Open Box, or some other reduction in price at $1,500 or less...

That is how defects like this normally work, if I buy a $$$$ monitor, you better bet I expect not to have dead pixels, if I do I want them to replace it.

Then they sell it has Open Box or B Grade Referb to a customer that is fine with a few dead pixels in order to get a deal on the unit...
I don't own a smart TV because every smart TV I've used has been in an airbnb and they are generally sluggish to the point of being unusable. Even my plug-in Roku has gotten to this point. I don't understand what it could be. Memory leaks? It's totally bizarre

At least the latter (hedging) is useful, and not only in terms of speculation but also for international trade / market events in general.

>It is by no means a complete replacement for GPG, but that is a good thing considering the sheer number of features is what makes GPG practically unusable.

So how can unused features in a command line utility make something "practically unusable"?
