Yeah, and the list of banned countries is totally stupid too.

The list is short and doesn't ban countries with way more infections than the listed ones. People can travel from all over Africa for example, but not Europe.

> Primephonic is no longer available for new subscribers and will be taken offline beginning September 7. Apple Music plans to launch a dedicated classical music app next year combining Primephonic’s classical user interface that fans have grown to love with more added features.
No, nothing I was talking about was related to the speed of sound in water (which is where I assume you're getting 0.66 seconds/km, since it's about right). I agree the speed of signal propagation seems unlikely to matter much in most situations.
I don't think this deserves the downvotes it is getting simply because there is some truth to the comment.

A good friend of mine worked with a young developer recently who was excited about what he was able to generate with a single npm command. When my friend, who has been writing software longer than this guy has been alive, calmly pointed out that the npm command had just generated 400 files and thousands of lines of code that didn't actually solve their problem, this guy got mad and went to complain to their manager.
The land needs to be converted to natural forest if we want a shot at significant reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Agroforestry and silvopasture are the next best things, but a huge problem with animal agriculture is the land use change. We simply need a LOT of land to go back to natural forest.
It's the same everywhere. There is a 40-10% in every country which won't get the vaccine.

It's not their fault, there is some mechanism inside their brains which makes them highly skeptical of everything.

And there are so many of them because back in the days it was an evolutionary advantage to be skeptical of everything. Back when humans lived in groups of hundreds to thousands and were routinely attacked by other groups of hundreds to thousands.

You did not dispute the point I was making: that wealth was plundered. If the crown jewels do not (directly) benefit UK citizens, that doesn't mean other plundered wealth doesn't benefit the average citizen. For that, you can dig into the infrastructure, bequests, scholarships, to mention a few examples that were funded by plundering and exploiting colonies.
To enter the US a rapid antigen test is enough.
>Yes, it has.

It most certainly has not. Even in men's legwear where your clothing is more or less fully defined by two measurements (waist circumference and inseam length), there are lots of variations between brands for garments with the same nominal size.

I have 2 pairs of billabong board shorts that are slightly too big and fall down if I don't cinch the drawstrings extra tight. Size 34 waist.

I have another 2 pairs of o'neill shorts that fit perfectly and don't fall down even if I don't lace up the drawstring at all. Size 34 waist.

Let's not even get into women's clothing where you can have such ill-defined terms like "size zero".
I'm thinking maybe Egypt, would be nice to get to see the pyramids and culture.
Microsoft may withhold security updates from unsupported Windows 11 PCs
Yeah. Drivers around here get irate at even the suggestion that they shouldn't be driving a minimum of 5 over on every road at all times.
Yes, but there were a few other groups that claimed to be doing that thing even if for a moment.

Wikileaks too to some extent, not as hackers but as far as disseminating information.. but honestly I'd rather not get into that aspect too much as wikileaks is a hard conversation to have online these days.
I have known of many positions that stayed open for years until the position or company disappeared.
In the US it seems like theft of parts is a lot more popular. Things like wheels, light housings, and catalytic converters are especially popular. Getting a car out of the country is a lot harder when you don't share land borders with eastern europe. When people steal cars they usually only use it for as long as it takes to commit another crime. A lot of the car chases are with stolen cars so police have no clue who is inside since running plates returns the owner.
I still have the impression that Apple is trying to do the privacy-supporting best option in their toolkit. The FBI has asked them multiple times to provide a generic back door and Apple has refused to give them general access and asks for specific warrants. So the FBI comes to them with a lot of very specific warrants about child pornography and they build a system specific to that use case and only that use case.

There's definitely still a "slippery slope" argument here that in handling this specific use case they are going to feel more pressure to handle other specific use cases of government actors, but they are also setting the precedence that they still will not support a generic backdoor. That seems to me, at face value, a greater privacy win than a loss.
You've been duped into blaming an out-group for your problems.
Parsing Command Output in Ansible with JC (2020)
You likely opened the article just a few minutes before this detail was added;

>Update 1 pm EDT: Cook County Judge James Shapiro has reversed his earlier decision and is now allowing an unvaccinated mother to see her son in person. “Judge Shapiro just issued an order vacating portions of his prior order of August 11th so Rebecca Firlit can see her son again,” Annette Fernholz, Firlit’s attorney, told WFLD0.

Side note, it seems like anything COVID related on HN attracts a lot of green accounts.
Why is travel banned from the EU still anyway? the travel bans seem kind of random and unmaintained at this point... is there a good source that summarizes what's going on?
> Quite the opposite. I really enjoyed the format that shows one whole slide at a time instead of seeing content progressively reveal via scrolling.

Sure, but what about content that is always visible that you scroll manually to signal your intent to read something, and then read where you stop yourself? You know, like a classic web page.
ZFS has an implementation of CIFS (SMB to be pedantic) which is included in OpenZFS.
From everything I've read, if you're on Linux you're better off not exposing the shares using the ZFS tooling and instead just use Samba (due to it's greater compatibility).
Not supporting them here (I am vaccinated and wear a mask in public), but their freedom is quite clearly the freedom of bodily autonomy - which I think is a more important freedom than your freedom to go on holiday abroad. I totally disagree with their conclusions, but if we're ranking freedoms then bodily autonomy comes first.
Our biggest problem with Fortnite is that it’s where the friends are so it’s a way, probably the primary way, for them to socialize - especially as some friends are on different continents.

I wish this wasn’t the case, but fighting a network effect is hard as a parent.
Errors as values are fine and useful. However author also says this:

"Programming with exceptions is difficult and inelegant."

I am of completely opposite opinion: to me exceptions are very easy to use and elegant for what they intended. It does not mean that one has to rely only on exceptions or on plain error as values. Use both for the best benefits depending on situations. Why programmers get obsessed doing thing in "there can be only one right and true tool language, concept, style etc. etc." way is completely beyond my understanding.
Everything about interviewing sucks. Being the interviewer sucks. Being the interviewee sucks. The politics of hiring sucks. I hate it on both sides.

The more I interview people the more empathy I have for good candidates who can't get hired. I've seen so many potentially good candidates passed over because someone in the hiring chain didn't find them good. Usually this has to do with "lacking experience with X technology."

This is incredibly frustrating because usually the person doing the rejecting didn't know X when they were hired, but they were paid to learn it by the company.

On the flip side, I've been forced to re-interview obviously poor candidates because a hiring manager liked that they had "experience with X technology." Even though I was pretty confident that they were lying. Usually this ends up being merely a waste time, as I've never changed my mind and usually bring along another interviewer who concurs.

I think the hiring process is 50% luck, and 50% having experience with the right tools. My new strategy, after working in the sausage factory, is to look at prospective jobs, find the tools they are looking for, and find a reason to use them in my current role. Read all of the documentation so you really sound like you know what you're talking about, then interview. I'm not sure if this works in the SV startup culture, but it does seem effective in my situation.
There's some speculation and evidence[0] that a great deal of state surveillance is actually dedicated to state-sponsored industrial espionage. On some level, any government is going to have to match rival governments' corporate spying or risk falling behind.

Note the update at the site, which the thread title can be amended to reflect:

That's behind a paywall for me. The CDC charts do look like we've crested, but it'll take a few more data points to confirm it: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographicsoverti...

To address that concern, there's now a link in the homepage banner.
Denmark isn't enforcing strict mask and vaccination mandates. What do you think the EU should do to manage that? The US is hardly a policy outlier, and backbone or lack thereof is not the issue.

https://www.thelocal.dk/20210614/denmark-ends-requirement-to...
This is a non-mandatory recommendation by an advisory agency. It is entirely up to individual EU member states about whether they will bar vaccinated and/or non-vaccinated travelers from the U.S.
In my opinion, the nonstandard names are useful for branding, but it can be detrimental when there is a name collision with the .com address.

I bought company.tld for my company along with companytld.com, and brand my company as companytld, in hopes of avoiding any confusion.

If you wanted to brand as just company, it may muddy the waters a bit if you don't also have company.com
Show HN: Yet Another Speed Dial – An open source new tab page
Show HN: Yet Another Speed Dial - An open source new tab page

I made an open source, cross-browser new tab page inspired by the Speed Dial in Opera.

It also works great as a bookmarks manager because it gives you visual thumbnails for bookmarks instead of just a list. When you bookmark a site, just choose the Speed Dial folder (or one of its subfolders) and you'll automatically get a screenshot, favicon, or open graph image as a thubmnail.

They can be sorted easily with drag and drop, and since they are just bookmarks under the hood you don't need to worry about the extension locking you in.

If you're like me and still use lots of bookmarks, give it a try. Happy to hear your feedback HN!

The analogy doesn't hold. It's hard to say that video games are an acute crisis causing hundreds of thousands of deaths.
I'm fairly sure that US parents do have the ability to give their children tobacco and porn. They just can't purchase it themselves
> > "How would you pull in data from an arbitrarily long -- maybe never-ending - source of data in Python?"

> The answer to this question is to use a generator. If you don't know this, then both people are going to wish that they had that half hour of their life back.

That's funny...I've implemented more than my share of such things in a long career, and my first intuition for an answer to the question, as phrased, was to implement stream sampling. It never even occurred to me that the answer might be a syntactical feature of the language (and yes, I know what generators are).

According to you, I'd be so wrong that I'm a waste of time.

Do you see the problem yet? It isn't theoretical. I've hit this kind of situation with so many interviewers that I'm actually more nervous when I'm sitting across from someone who is clearly on their first or second job out of school. They're asking (unclear) questions in the "python syntax" category, and I'm thinking about the engineering consequences of consuming an endless stream of data...
Submit to unwanted bodily penetration by government decree, or lose access to your children. All Amish children should be wards of the state.
On the rare occasion that you can get Youtube (because of google's rate limits) or similar to open on Tor, it can easily stream HD videos.
Speaking from my own childhood, I'd be curios if kids in China are going to try to circumvent this ban or if it is even possible to do so. (Similar to how homepages ask for your birthday... no one is going to check up on it).

While this ban seems very specific (only online, certain hours of the week) I wonder if the companies might try to overachieve and extend it to offline games or social media platforms as well. Guess it depends on how the parents/ companies interpret that law (is it a law?). Watching the recent VIPKid / online teaching fallout, they just banned online classes very short notice for the remaining summer holidays. According to some VIPKid teachers however they're not getting new classes booked for september or the existing ones are getting cancelled.
Except the people aren't our enemy. We're worried about an authoritarian government harming our friends.
It's a hard fit for seniors even. Legacy is hard, big codebases are hard. You'd have to be crazy to let juniors take over such a thing. I think a junior might actually do better on a greenfield project if deadlines aren't too strict.
Agreed. Everyone flying in and out is vetted and tested. That's more than anyone can say for their local supermarket. Borders are some of the most "covid-secure" places in the world.

This shit is just politics at this point.
Why? As adults they 'll be more understanding of why they were forced to stop that addictive behavior. And kids dont start revolutions
I'm not more of an expert of submarine tactics than you are, I was just taking issue with the physical claim that they already know where you are by the time you hear them.
This is actually a really good idea. The hotspot could just locally serve the client and server side. Some pre connected devices could be distributed also for the elderly or the disabled.

Then you could package it with a "creation studio" to create your own version for tourguides, museums, etc. Resell some hardware also as per requirements. You've got yourself a nice little business that seems useful for the business and client.
in all fairness you could fly to USA all along, same with Mexico - so it is not like travel was impossible

though I do agree, it is stupid to keep these limitations in place - it shows how simpletons run the show
No you're losing your freedom to travel because these countries are playing political games with each other and your rights. It has absolutely nothing to do with the unvaccinated. They could easily just ask for a vaccine card. Direct your fervor where it belongs.
I’d argue that the ‘demand’ is overstated, largely because job listings and forecasts != actual jobs.
NFSv4 uses idmapd with a defined "domain," unlike direct uid/gid mapping of earlier versions.

When the idmapd daemons on either side cannot agree on the domain, all users will be "squashed" to the default NFS user.

Root is always squashed, unless nosquash is specified in /etc/exports (which goes for earlier protocol versions as well).

NFSv4 [cleartext] does not require kerberos. Kerberos can be used to encrypt the data stream between client and server, but this can also be accomplished with stunnel over TLS (google "nfs encryption" for details).
Knowing how wasteful IT is, especially in large organizations, I think the hosting fees are probably higher than you think.

I still think you're right though, human labor is likely more costly.
Do you know something else? Have you more details?
> What spike in crime?

Well, see, that's the subtle part. Is there really a crisis-level crime wave (in the US)? There was a sharp decrease in crime in the initial months after lockdowns went into affect, but a spike in gun purchases. As such, homicides, which in the US are overwhelmingly committed with guns, are definitely up. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/30/us-crime-rat...

But it's not anywhere near the historic rates of the '70s. You won't know that from reading the "violent crime collapse porn", which likes to point to absolute numbers (Most murders in 25 years!) while ignoring population and other factors.

So my contention is that the collapse has been embraced by the reactionary Law and Order types to sow fear and uncertainty. This is partly has a pushback against the attempts to reform police and partly as a way to push for economic austerity as well as a return to racist criminal justice policies of the 80s.
There are LOTS of online games that are not "shitty gambling microtransaction" games.

Even in the west where traditional, non-microtransaction games are very common, having an offline, single player, non-cooperative game is increasingly rare.
Any word that encapsulates an entire concept is worth keeping around.
Heh, and I get down voted here when I comment that the GPL is probably a contract...

Oh well, I don't have a Harvard law degree so what do I know
Depends on where in the EU and where in the US. A number of European countries would have rates higher than New York, say, but not Florida.
Who said anything about holidays?
I agree with you on "Right Wing", and with "denier" in the sense of climate change, but alt-right has devolved into a meaningless label for anyone to the right of Mao. I was called "alt-right" by an AI ethics researcher because I asked her if she had looked at the actual data on police shootings/crime and argued with her response that the data released by the FBI UCR (victim reported crime data) was fabricated/fraudulent.

I was also called a "denier" on a trip to Orange County, California last year because I wasn't wearing a mask while walking outside on a boardwalk, by a person who assumed I was an anti-masker. (I simply don't wear them outdoors)
Just anecdotal/my 2c,

My little girl was born in September 2020 in Chicago, USA, she was diagnosed with heart disease, and as it turns out a really rare genetic condition. She passed away in May 2021.

My family all live in the UK.

My little girl died without ever meeting her granddad, her aunt, her uncle, etc. I had to livestream her funeral to my family/friends.

Added an additional level of pain and suffering, to an already incredibly terrible situation. I feel immense guilt, for whatever reason. COVID would have likely killed my severely immunocompromised child.

In the speech I read at her funeral, I said:

> For the people who didn’t meet her or spent little time with her. I am sorry. I’m not apologising personally, I’m just acknowledging how terrible it must have been to look but not touch. Some had it better than others. Some only got to see her through a screen. There were no winners in this situation, only losers.

I didn't kiss my child's face until the last week of her life.

I really am burnt out from all this, especially with no end in sight.

edit: I appreciate the condolences/well wishes. I wasn't trying to elicit sympathy, I just wanted to give some insight to someone who had no choice other than to do what was best for their child (or so I thought).
Second paragraph in the linked article:

The decision, which is non-binding and will ultimately be up to individual member states to implement, comes after weeks of EU officials criticizing the Biden administration for not lifting U.S. restrictions on travel from Europe.
This is the government we're talking about - check your sense of logic at the door.
Sorry to be a downer but I'm having a hard time being optimistic about the situation. My prediction is that pretty much every child in America will contract delta within the next month.

The approach towards vaccinations and masking in schools has been absurd. I'm so disappointed that the FDA haven't prioritized vaccinations for kids. Now a ton of kids are going to die unnecessarily.
WebDAV is also really crappy on MacOS, I was sitting next to my father and my Ubuntu laptop with Gnome Files literally got 4x his MacOS performance connecting to my Nextcloud box.
Pretty much nothing is done at the European level, and this announcement is little more than a suggestion. It is all decided at a member state level and countries adopt inconsistent policies, even for travels within the EU.
I work at a major American automotive OEM on entry and starting systems. Yes, many passive-entry/passive-start systems (like those that use door handle sensors to trigger an unlock) are vulnerable to relay attacks. Relay attacks are separate from re_p_lay attacks, as you note.

Relay attacks on keyfobs seem to be much more common in the UK than in the US. Some manufacturers now include accelerometers in their keyfobs to mitigate the risk, as one of the most common attacks is stealing a vehicle out of a driveway when somebody has left their keys on a hook inside the house. With an accelerometer in the keyfob, it will refuse to authorize starting if it hasn’t been jostled recently.
Just a small side note, you can solve any such sudoku in the same way you can fill a blank sudoku grid with a valid game state. Take the first 3x3 square and fill it with consecutive numbers 1,2, ..., 9. Then take the next 3x3 square and fill it with 2, 3, ..., 9, 1. Do the same for each next square and you'll end up with a valid board. To solve the one-number-only sudoku you would then simply take the 3x3 square the number is in, fill it with consecutive numbers around the given number, and then fill the rest of the board similar to the above.
Depends on the country. In Germany, it's a federal country much like the USA, and such decisions are made at the state level. So there is not uniformity. But some policies, like masks in stores, are not as controversial as in the USA and so are pretty universally imposed.

Other countries have centralized national governments with full jurisdiction over public health and the capability of imposing a uniform policy nationwide. Some indeed have uniform policies. Others have policies that vary by region depending on the infection rate, etc. (You see the same thing within US, or German, states.)
Wouldn't the EU allow for citizens to return from travel, regardless of whether it was an essential trip or not? The bans are essentially just entry visa restrictions that the airlines are enforcing. Finding a seat on a plane might be difficult because of reduced demand but essential people would still need to travel so there should be something available.
I wonder how this metric looks on a state-by-state basis (not that it is their responsibility to look at us on such a granular level, it just seem like it could be good for business to let in people from NYC or California or other major economic hubs).
