You can adjust the highest priviledged port (at least on FreeBSD). It's convenient to set that to 79 and let regular users listen to http without needing root to listen.

ssh and smtp generally need root to do their job, although maybe you could find a way to deliver mail to users without it. If you want to run user based dns or others, you could set the priviledged port even lower.
What do you call someone who looks at a bushel of bad apples and thinks they're fine, except for the handful that are truly rotten, calling those few the bad ones?
True. I am always amazed at the “we just got acquired by $HugeEnterpriseyCorporation, it’s been an amazing journey and nothing will change we remain the same, just as a part of $BigCompany”

As soon as the delayed bonus to the execs is due (usually 1–3 years), everyone quits in troves and it’s downhill from there.
First you’re putting words in my mouth. We are talking about petty crime not the entire law, and we are talking about prosecution not all enforcement. Prosecution is not the only way to enforce the law, so nobody is talking about “no enforcement”.

And the statement is because it is a falsifiable with no evidence to back it up. Wegner’s statement about plate tectonics was bold by the same measure (although he offered some evidence; but apparently not enough).
Mine was normal except for one trace. That trace has remained, whereas the expected populations have been whittled to one area -- which is not where my family heritage is from on either side.

I have my doubts that the improved locations @ 23andMe are actually improvements.
Do you believe Amazon would have succeeded as it has with Elon Musk at its helm? Everyone has different qualities and strengths... Amazon's success(in consumer goods) is merely a reflection of our society as to how it wants to live and what its priorities are and Jeff Bezos has found a way to capitalize it.
> engineers using feet?!

Architects for example almost exclusively work in feet in the US. The US construction field is almost entirely imperial.

The highest rates of metric use in the US are in cases where there is a possibility of international crossing/exchange, or if the field is distinctly metric-based. If you work for NASA, it makes sense to use global measurement standards. If you're building a house in Cincinnati, it largely does not matter.

If you're a German working in a store in Würzburg, you're far more likely to speak in German throughout your day. If you're a German working in programming with a bunch of US programmers, you're more likely to be using English when communicating with them. Why don't Germans speak English all the time? Because they don't want to and don't need to.
Because everyone would rather listen to an exciting and engaging speaker. Of course, a calm and reserved voice is interesting today because it is exceptional in the current environment. I think Lester Holt's delivery is a good compromise of calm yet engaging.
There were actually aircraft designed by the US to match the Tu-160. See the XB-70 Valkyrie, which was a complete failure that never gave suite to anything. So yes, the US never matched the Tu-160, despite trying.

Advice from billionaires is subject to survivorship bias. Luck and timing have a huge multiplier effect on one's personal wealth. So, personal wealth is not proportional to the quality of message. Most extremely wealthy people I have come to know are surrounded by "yes men" that thrive by stroking their ego. But, wealth does provide a degree of freedom that gives one time for reflection and introspection. Personally, I believe a diversity of perspectives is healthy, while hero-worship is not.
> What is 'gain of function'?

In the case of Erlang the answer to your question about meaningful differences is: oh yes! I could list more, but there are two:

- support for concurrency. After tasting it you never will want to go back to techniques normally used in the languages you listed

- data immutability, which makes reading code so much easier.
Please tel us more - a DSL in python is ... fun ... and having a real world use is cherry on top
Further I think you could make the argument that the meditations works because it's not Markus Aurelius making things up on the spot. He was a careful student of philosophy and to me the charm of the book is it's the wisdom of the ancient world filtered by a man whose later life became dominated by practical affairs.
When Linux and (fingers-crossed) BSD get full M1 support in the next year or two, these machines will be fantastic Linux and BSD computers. Not just from the unique hardware advantages (quiet operation, performance, etc.), but also from the upstream open-source kernel support and community documentation that is being written.

And MacOS handles security on a partition level rather than on a system chip level, so I could have a Full Security MacOS install dual-booting with Linux/BSD someday. Exciting stuff.
Is there an "academic" subculture of, say, wood- or metalworking that derides craftspeople and engineers as "just glueing stuff together" or is this unique to programming?
Oh c'mon. There are clearly languages where the median intelligence of the community members is higher than others -- I'm not a Haskell fan myself, but I have to concede that the community around Haskell is very obviously comprised of smarter than average people. Check out their IRC or Slack channel if you have any doubt.

Citation needed. South and East Asia have arguably been economic powerhouses for most of humanity. What we generally identify as white or western civilization has dominated economically during the past few hundred years, and arguably during the Roman Empire.

The B-1B was not an equivalent to the Tu-160. One could go above Mach 2, the other could barely go above Mach 1. The B-1A would have been a match if it wasn't a failure.

The Airbus factory has had a museum nearby since 2015, Aeroscopia [1]. It hosts two Concordes, among others (like the Super Guppy [2]). It has a pre-production Concorde (F-WTSB), used for test flights, and an Air France one (F-BVFC). It’s worth a visit for any aviation enthusiast.

You used to be able to go inside the test flight one, but it’s a cramped space, so things might be different while covid regulations are in force.

This is an interesting article. The headline works when you're on the Washington Post site, and you can see the subhead and the image of the SARS-COV-2 virus. But on its own it could mean almost anything. The subhead reads:

Singapore (a city I love, an awesome place) started a fairly large test of self driving taxis in 2016. I just looked for recent news about this service but couldn't find any. Anyone know if this is still a thing?
Finland only has a negative credit system (basically a record of payment delinquencies) but there are plans to introduce a positive credit system similar to the US.
It's amazing how pwople dont see the fundamental tension between "western values" like individual freedoms and unbridled capitalism "values" (i.e. profit). Those motivations are sometimes pulling in opposite directions. Which will win? Which should win?
I couldn’t have guessed that we could find two samples of people such that antibodies in one group exceeded antibodies in the other? That is true for any non-uniform data set.

As for your other point, I also maintain that the opposite finding would have told us equally little. Perhaps they had lower antibodies because they had less virulent variants/cases on average, which is why none of them died - again, “survivor bias”. It would still tell us nothing about how their immune response would compare between the case where they got sick and the case where they got vaccinated.

Edit: here is a simple challenge that can resolve this discussion in your favor. If you can tell me definitively what the expected antibody level for the survivor dataset was prior to this study, I will concede that you are right and this is a meaningful analysis.
My impression was that payment processors, not banks, were on the hook for chargebacks, but I may misremember?
I'm confused, if SCO sold off its rights to a new company the settlement should go to the new company?

If the price didn't reflect the potential of this settlement then that could have been an accounting crime against the now bankrupt SCO, but I don't see why SCO would be entitled to any duplicate claims.
Mostly the syntax is bad, I think. Also, exposing the AST like this means implementation details about the parser are now locked in.
Ask HN: Find Lost Blogs/HN Threads
I'm starting a monthly thread where people can find HN Threads they lost.

Often we lose Blogs/HN Threads because we forgot to bookmark them or for any other reason. You can post description about the threads here. Other people can try to help the author find the articles. Additionally, Since people forget most of the things they read but they still remember ( or are trying to remember) the posts mentioned here, the posts are bound to be very interesting.

Tips on what you can/should mention while trying to find a thread -

1. Add a vague Timeline when it was written/posted here.
2. If you remember anything about the author, mention it.
3. You can mention what kind of discussions happened in HN Threads of the topic.
4. Write whatever you remember about the blog.

I'm submitting the threads I want to find below as an example.
if i had a huge fucking pot of crypto i would probably also announce to the world that i had lost it
1. It was posted approximately 6 months ago. The Blog starts with talking about how Funds use full-time brokers instead of discount brokers because the cost of brokerage is passed down to the consumer. In return, the Funds gets Kickback. Specifically the author says that his team needed new laptops. So, instead of buying new laptops , he moved from Discount to Full time broker who costs 100x more. Also, on side, the broker has an empty building and new laptops which the author's team can use. The author calls this soft money.
In Next Phase, author talks about how every Fund creates hundreds of schemes and then name top performing ones as "growth fund" and move other funds there.

2. This was also posted 6-8 months ago. Scientists create a machine in which light always goes off 1 sec before we press a button. The mechanism was that when the button is pressed, it travels back in time for 1 sec and turns on the light. By this experiment, people slowly realized that their actions are not their own and started going into Coma like stillness. The author was asian version of Nick bostrom.
IMO Society will adapt and people will find different solutions for these things. Take for instance two scenarios:

* London - I used to live there and commute on the tube. Not everyone uses a car on a regular basis, except maybe to go to the supermarket. I didn't find it particularly hard to bring my sportswear in a bag and put a kindle in my jacket pocket. I assume New York is the same!

* Amsterdam and The Hague - I used to travel to these cities often, and these societies exist almost entirely on bike.

I have a car, but also manage to walk into work and not bring everything with me everywhere. It just seems like the assumption is "it will only work if it can support me doing exactly what I do now", but this sort of technology has the potential to completely change the way people work and live.
It's actually a very low risk investment. The HOA is suing the city, blaming the construction of the Transbay terminal next door. They have access to some serious attorneys, so if the building falls down they'll still profit.

> The notion that science is morally neutral is also widely held and advanced by scientists. Indeed, many scientists wear their neutrality as a badge of honor, presenting themselves as disinterested servants of truth who merely supply society with facts and tools. They leave it up to others to decide how to use them. “Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be,” Albert Einstein said, “and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary.”

> ...

> We must therefore judge modern science not only by its material products, but also, and more so, by its intentions and its influence upon the way humanity has come to think. In both these ways, science is far from morally neutral.

Yeah, as a person with a diverse racial background from Texas since before it was Texas (relevant cause of the opinion I'm getting to spout), you might be right that there "is no material benefit, ever, from me declaring myself to be white."

I personally think race is a wholly made up concept, so it's a bit vexed to add it into how institutions deal with folks.

What you're writing made me think about something that's omitted from what you're writing:

almost all of the benefits I've had from how folks interpret my race have come from -not- having to say explicitly how my race should be interpreted.

So, while I get what you're trying to say, where I live most racism exists in the unspoken assumptions about how people act. As such much of that racial bias is very difficult to point out to people because it's like trying to point out water to fish.
Rice is important but western agriculture (Wheat) is becoming increasingly precarious, too.

Wheat likes long growing seasons sure, but you know what it doesn't like? Too much or too little rain. Extreme climate (hail+wind can basically shear off wheat). Early frost, or late frost.

As the weather warms we experience more variable weather. This could mean more crops that get damaged or destroyed by random freezing events that start to happen in August or late snow/freezing that happens in May/June, after the seed is in the ground.

We'll still be able to farm wheat for sure, just like asian/equatorial countries will be able to farm rice, even as the temperature rises. The ability to produce will certainly decline as weather ravages crops before harvest.

Places that have traditionally been in the goldilocks zone for production are leaving it.
Could something like this be leveraged for a physical representation of crypto currency? So that you could spend it like cash.
Your comment about the removal of physical consequences reminded me of this quote from Robert E. Howard: "Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing."
Apple’s new Private Relay is leaking your original address through WebRTC
The OP doesn't really touch on this aspect, but I think one of the most important traits of a PL is what it doesn't let you say (there's almost nothing that Lisp doesn't let you say, which is a double-edged sword)

A majority of Haskell's innovations have been in the space of placing interesting new kinds of constraints on code

Rust's big innovation is not allowing you to make memory errors (in designated sections of your code)

Go's headlining feature is not allowing people to write code that's extremely abstracted, which helps readability

And this isn't just for avoiding mistakes: code that's very regular can be more easily processed by a machine to make it more efficient

So looking at it through the lens of syntax is missing a lot of the picture. You're right that syntax is rarely important. At the end of the day the differences between code and notation are: 1) code often grows to enormous sizes where managing it becomes a challenge, and 2) code is processed by a machine
It's probably more like "I'll throw $50 into this OnlyFans subscription, but only if I can get a chargeback if it's actually just a bunch of cat pictures." There's a lot of scams on the internet, adult industry or no.
It would be fairly weird to have people self-identify in one field and force a genetics-based determination in another.

Those offices were super chic!
All the comments saying "this misses the point, it isn't the software, it's the data" are missing the point themselves: trained models are being released and informally used as software components.

The consequence of datasets being used for training (and trained models being incorporated into software) typically via a line of curl or wget in some setup code, is to leave the dependency, essentially, undeclared.

Yes, any biases in those models are more likely to be uncovered because of their public availability, and yes, the biases uncovered will probably be due to biases in the data, but right now we don't really have (or aren't using) processes, tooling, or infrastructure to do the necessary versioning and tracing of data or model dependencies.

In fact, when some researcher discovers a bias in a model and publishes it, most often no new version of the model or the data it is based on is released.

If by chance the biases are addressed and new versions of a particular model and dataset are released, all the other models based on the same data are left unaffected. And software that incorporates the biased models is unaffected by their re-release as well. Nothing will ever trigger those models to be marked as biased, retrained, and re-released, and typically nothing marks the dependent software as vulnerable to the bias either.
Not really, no. Pretty much all LSI chips (and even a lot of power / analog stuff these days) is flip chip, i.e. mounted metal-layer down (if you see a BGA or waferscale package, all of these are flip-chip). So the stackup looks like this (roughly to scale):

Heatspreader
TIM
Silicon
Silicon
Silicon
Silicon
Silicon
Silicon
Silicon
Silicon
Silicon
Active layer
Metal layers
Metal layers
Passivation
Solder bumps and glue
Solder bumps and glue
Solder bumps and glue
Solder bumps and glue
Substrate/interposer/PCB

What this article proposes is to put metal layers on BOTH sides of the active layer, so you get more metal closer to it. That's what they mean by "powered from below". If you look at a chip today, they're all "powered from below" in the sense that the metal layers are "below" the active layer and power (and all signals) are fed in from "below" through the interposer.
I never even considered that there is a “mark as spam” feature in Gmail tbh.

I count 5 countries of the 27 eu countries in that list, and it seems half of them have a gov based system. So the situation seems different from the US.

I always get orwellian vibes from the US system. Some random big brotherish corporation looks at you in any way it can, then runs some completely untransparant system to produce an unreliable number, with no appeal. That number determines your chances in life.

Then again, my governement keeps track of how well I do on repaying my loans and tells that to lending orgs. I assume someone with a US style 'gubberment' thought process might recoil in horror even if I rather like it.
No way the piles are 36 feet in diameter. I don't think piles that big exist or are feasible, you're usually looking at a couple meters max.
It's not like the US system. It's a negative credit score meaning that you start as a good lender and then you can only fuck it up by not paying your bills.

In the US we have positive credit score meaning you have to show you are a good lender to get a better score.

The european ones are mostly much less granular.
In Germany, there is SCHUFA, which is a credit score.

To rent in Germany, I had to have a SCHUFA check and a letter from my previous landlord saying I didn't have any outstanding debts, the "Mietschuldenfreiheitsbescheinigung."
