> Alpine can do that, as far as I know, no other distribution can easily do out of the box yet: service isolation using the base networking stack itself instead of netfilter.

Most distros come with VRF support compiled in their default kernel and ship a modern enough version of iputils for this to work. Actually looking closer at the blog I remember this name, it's the person that enabled CGROUP_BPF to make this work on Alpine! https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/9856. Big thanks as that saved some minor headache of dealing with a custom kernel while using Alpine on the VM partition of some switches in a production deployment.

I'll admit to being lazy like most and just using network namespaces out of habit as it's a catch-all fallback you don't have to think about. In the above where I actually used VRFs I matched them to the VRFs I had in the rest of the network and used namespaces to make multiple service contexts just as logical separation more than it had to be segmented as such. That being said most of the time I think VRFs are what people want for containers it just took too many years to land in the kernel and everyone became familiar with macvtap and namespaces first.

One thing I haven't looked into is I know VRFs are far more lightweight but I have never actually measured how lightweight. For half of the resource utilization story while doing some testing recently I created ~3000 network namespaces on a small box and it took just under a gigabyte of RAM. I didn't do any throughput testing though as mostly I just needed things to generate and respond to ARPs on a bunch of mapped network tunnels.

Anyways fantastic article and great choice on talking about VRFs instead of a typical firewall post!

That's funny timing, as I just mentioned the other day on here that the $.99 vs $1.00 thing was a marketing tactic. However, someone countered that it is a remnant from the old days of forcing the clerk to ring out the customer at the register to make correct change. This was to help avoid the temptation of pocketing the exact dollar amount. A pricing practice that has essentially just stuck around, and possibly repurposed????

Either way, I've learned basic maths. .1 == .10. I would be willing to guess that the average public would not think that .10 > .1, and that this whole confusion is really only for developers that have started using decimal notation in versions where .10 > .1 is true.
For what it’s worth i’ve personally had a few disagreements with people who wouldn’t believe a third was bigger than a fourth.
Many videos are not available in VP9. I have noticed a couple of years ago when I had to use vanilla Ubuntu without "install 3-rd party software" checkbox checked during installation - Firefox refused to play many YouTube videos.

It also supposedly makes sense to force H.264 to increase chances of hardware acceleration being used.

Totally can be true. In our case, we use these approximation methods that allow you to get multiple percentiles "for free" definitely need to choose the right ones for the job. (We talk a bit more about the whole approach where we do the aggregation then the accessor thing in the previous post on two-step aggregation [1]). But there are definitely times when averages/stddev and potentially the 3rd and 4th moments are more useful etc.

So strange to hand the right-wing their next talking point. The way this is phrased, it looks like they're trying to gaslight people legitimately concerned about the future.

It still needs a name. Here let me try:

Disproportionate benefit insinuation error: Implying (without explicitly stating that it has more benefits than disadvantages because that would be a disprovable lie) that because something has some benefit, it is overall helpful.

Or just "plausible deniability"- factually stating the existence of a beneficial tree, but omitting mention of the harmful forest

Or just "cherry-picking"

Or to cover cases where a harm is insinuated/emphasized in the same way in order to discredit something (see: literally all the antivax data, antiscience, antimedicine... "trust doctors, you mean like the ones who prescribed thalidomide?")... "Misrepresenting the forest"

Let us assume person x already got covid? The rationale for refusing the vaccine is either (a) they believe they do not need it or (b) they do so on ideological belief.

If it is (a), evidence shows that covid + vaccine is better than either alone and hence no reason to refuse the vaccine.

If it is (b), there is perfect justification for calling that stancy as an idiotic stance.
The ones who sit in an office all day ARE the outliers, and unfortunately we put the task of design in their hands.

I don't agree with you. I have seen it first hand. Girls find makeup artists they like on youtube that do looks they like and then they follow their recommendations. There are so many options out there. How do you choose? Follow the advice of an influencer. It repeats across the entire market, across all demographics. Building a relationship and then leveraging it. Doing (buying, in this case) something based on the recommendation of another person is basic human behavior. I don't think you should write it off as a boomer thing so easily.
You do realize intra-country migration has the same effect right? In the US, the majority of counties are losing population, because people are moving to cities.

What's the "genetic history" behind being black? If it means basically anything other than that your ancestors came from Africa in the past 100k years, you're missing many groups commonly considered "black" like Australian aborigines and Negritos. If that is your definition, then basically everyone is black.

Where's the utility in that?
There's no way they throw away that much revenue. Not even Apple is that committed to purity. I'm sure they have a hush-hush deal with another company to shove their chips in no-name microwave ovens or something.
The one that made me the most upset was how large gatherings were bad, unless one was protesting about racial injustice. In which case, don't worry, those protestors had masks on.

Well, if merely having a mask on in a thousands large march is okay, why not just allow all sized gatherings provided one is wearing a face covering?
No - but the problem is the same. You have 5% downpayments (instead of 3.5% in the US), and mortgage-backed securities.

From my understanding, it appears there is NOT a government agency backing them, though. I don't think the 3.5% downpayment market be very big in the US if not for Fannie and Freddie (it basically doesn't exist outside of conventional loans Fannie & Freddie will buy).

I don't know how big the market is in the UK - maybe it's not much of an issue?

I'd love to hear from someone who knows more about this part of the UK market.
Alright so I'd like you to draw me a picture of your reasoning behind the statement that we do not know how long immunity from infection lasts but we have a better idea with the vaccines. Because in the world I live in, we have had infections longer than vaccines, which means more data on immunity from infections than vaccines. Where did you get that statement from and why did you say it?
Nothing prevents a paid product to be FOSS.

What I am advocating for is making Firefox users also become its customers, vs current situation where user!=customer, and customer being Google. This obvious and giant conflict of interest has to be a major contributing factor to the decline of Firefox.

I am aware that Firefox may lose 90% of its user base if it switched to a paid model, but my point is it will do so eventually anyway - if things do not change radically.

It was probably all part of Intel's strategy to sell more chips. It's hard to repair a gouged motherboard and not worth the time to recover the chips soldered into it. After the introduction of the IHS and new cooling solutions the motherboard market became unprofitable, that's why Intel had to exit it. /s

I wasn't comparing to AMD.

I've had few enough interactions with AMD that I can't pass judgement, but from the few I've had were consistent with your assessment. AMD was a complete black hole. My interactions with Intel were lightyears ahead of AMD.

But Intel, in turn, was lightyears behind Analog, Linear, Maxim, TI, and most other vendors I've dealt with (this was before Analog gobbled Linear and Maxim up).

Lmao. Have you ever owned a property you were trying to sell or rent out? Every single month of vacancy / no sale hurts, a lot.

If there are more units than renters, prices WILL drop, and fast. Landlords compete against each other, which is why you want many of them.
Now to only be able to buy a motherboard and a fast ARM CPU to my workstation and install NixOS to it, I'd be willing to try it out.
Another act in the confirmation-bias show. Was the fact that Trump didn't do any of these world-ending-whacko deeds due to him not being a world-ending-whacko? Or was it due to the dire predictions and actions of those predicting the worst? We'll never know. It's wild that this is still a story people want to read.
The gist is that people bounce around to places with more people. Kind of like gravity.
I don't think A&W gets thought of the way McDonald's or In n Out or other chains do. It just doesn't have the mindshare.

But the McDonald's where I live are all disasters, and the one A&W we had (until recently, when it got replaced by a new VW dealership) was really nice, with table service and frosty mugs.
Zero companies are going under from increasing wages for their lowest earnings workers by 20%. The places hurting most are fast food and restaurants which have very little actual payroll cost once you amortize the amount of food they serve per hour. Increasing wages from $15/hr to (an absurd example) $50/hr at a mcdonald's here would cost less than 35c per customer assuming they serve at least 100 customers per hour (easily more in peak time).

The cost increase over the last 10y at every fast food place and restaurant near me has vastly exceeded 35 cents. Wage increases are inevitable and stagnation is only sustainable until normal people are priced out of living entirely and decide to flip the table.

They can easily afford it. If you dig into any of these companies finances you will see that payroll is generally less than 20% of their overall costs. In my area most workers are flocking to warehouse work as a major american retailer has bumped their starting wage to $25.50/hr plus benefits and is literally hiring people without any sort of phone screen or face to face interview. You will out a web form and get a start date by email.
I recently read a (non-fiction) book where exactly that kind of clustering was talked about. It's correct that you'll find clusters in each major continent, but with just 6 clusters one of them will be entirely devoted to a small, insular community in the north of Iran. To your eyes and our social consciousness this community would be considered "middle-eastern" when in reality they're about as genetically as different as "Black people" and "Asian people" are.
A more simple explanation to the problem is that customers, consciously or not, calculate a socially enforced tip within the price. Even during the time this was changed.

I am not against tipping. I am against mandatory tipping. I know a hairdresser which costs me 17 EUR, and I know one which costs me 26,50 EUR. I tip the 17 EUR one 3 EUR, and the other one 0 EUR. Since COVID-19, the 17 EUR one has mandatory hair washing which is IMO bullshit. Now it costs 19 EUR. They get 1 EUR tip. The 26,50 EUR one does not require the mandatory hair washing which makes my preference for the cheaper one (its a slightly longer travel) less my preference.

Anyway, mandatory tipping is part of the final fee and should be processed as such (including taxes). Simple as that. It isn't my responsibility to care about all kind of service fees.

Right, no one is forcing anyone to use their services. It is only that they create an environment, which is actively damaging other "players" in the environment:

If you are not using it, uninformed people will laugh about you (peer pressure, network effect). Furthermore, because so many people use FB, many people will use FB to organize events, which one does not even know about, because of not being on FB. In the end, they will spin it, because they do not know better themselves, that it is you, who isolated yourself from the rest of "society".

I have experienced it many times. I have missed out on probably many things over time. Yet I refuse to be a part of FB and stuff like that. However, I am only one person. The peer pressure probably works on most people, because most are not as informed about FB (and Instagram and whatever else they own) and what it does, as the crowd on HN is for example. That means, that the argument of "no one is forcing anyone" is a bad one, because you would need to add "but they will make your life worse, if you do not join!". It is kind of an extortion, which an uninformed society unknowingly is excerting on the individual, put in motion by dark patterns, privacy-hostility and bad practices on the side of FB.

This is completely off topic but what accent is the narrator speaking?

He pronounces "research" as "resorch"/"resauch", "greater" as "greator" etc. and in other regards it seems to flip between American to slightly British English.

Never heard this accent before.
It's indeed always worth pointing that a mean may or may not exist. Same with variances/standard-deviation.

The central limit theorem seems to have given people the slightly wrong idea that things will always average out eventually.
This is excellent information, thank you for posting this! I was not familiar with this example previously, but it is a perfect example of summary statistics not capturing certain distributions well. It's very approachable, even if you had to limit the discussion to mean and variance alone. Bookmarked, and much appreciated.
The Unix philosophy is based on the idea that, yes. Yes indeed.

Yeah, that was one of the reasons we chose it as one of the ones to implement, seemed like that was a really interesting tradeoff, we also used uddsketch[1] which provides relative error guarantees, which is pretty nifty. We thought they provided different enough tradeoffs that we wanted to implement both.

I believe part of the difficulty was the lull in infections before delta, plus the effectiveness of school closures. If nobody is getting sick, you cannot say anything about effectiveness.

I don’t know if they want proof of effectiveness again, or are specifically looking at risk (which would not be impacted by the above).

If guess the risk of death is so low among children, you need far more data to exclude a risk from vaccination at that (small) magnitude. Think of helmets, and how they are exactly as comfortable to wear in a car as they are on a motorcycle.

Not true. I was an army brat. It finds nobody in my childhood even though I've tried.
I'm not sure I understand your argument. This is the quote:

>“Climate anxiety in children and young people should not be seen as simply caused by ecological disaster; it is also caused by more powerful ‘others’ (adults and governments) failing to act on the threats being faced,” researchers wrote.

>That failing could amount to a form of child abuse, the report found, saying “the distress of climate anxiety could be regarded as cruel, inhuman, degrading or torturous.”
You mean the government may have to rely on old fashioned police work, like undercover agents or informants witnessing the illegimate activity rather than passively spying on financial transactions? Say it ain't so!
How is that the flipper's fault? Ultimately, a regular home owner is buying the finished product.

If they are willing to pay more for better housing, what's the problem?

Of course, they're not willing to "pay more". Interest rates get lowered, and they can keep the same payment and buy more house.

The reason flipping is attractive is because Central Banks push up house prices - which flippers capture on leverage. If it weren't for house prices artificially appreciating so much (by constantly lower interest rates) - there wouldn't be any profits to be made flipping houses. Transaction costs are too high.
"the definitional distinction".. ?
OK, but how do you explain the appeal?

Hire people to manually review final appeals, maybe you've gone too far and are not hiring to keep up with user growth.
From the abstract:

>We fail to take advantage of the powerful tools of reasoning our best thinkers have discovered over the millennia: logic, critical thinking, probability, correlation and causation, and optimal ways to update beliefs and commit to choices individually and with others.

Key word here being: 'Best thinkers'.
Average (intellectually speaking) humans would prefer one-track or one-line thinking. One cannot expect to hold them to higher ideals and deeper thoughts.
Above-average humans would (mostly) prefer exploiting average and below-average humans for their personal gain.

Would feel glad to get corrected.
The parent is talking about ethnicity (culture), not nationality. "Latino" isn't a race, it's an ethnicity. In particular, there are many "races" of people who are Latino (white Cubans, indigenous Mexicans, black Brazilians, etc can all be "Latino" despite different races and nationalities). Indeed the "latin" in "Latin America" and "Latino" was originally a language category--these peoples all spoke romance languages (Spanish, French, Portuguese, etc).
I'd be interested in seeing a startup he's intimately involved with as a true cofounder. If he's just on board for name recognition/funding I'm less intrigued.

Where do you get stats for short-term rentals? Anecdotally, our last landlady illegally evicted us, converted the house to an airbnb, and then bought the next-door house from the long-time owner to make it an airbnb as well. Not in a vacation town, just downtown in a second-tier city. It seems like a pretty common trend in our neighborhood, I'm wondering if short-term rentals are clustered in dense, walkable areas and the stats are skewed by exurban owner-occupied homes that are 30 minutes drive to everywhere.
Great article from Ariadne.

Just a comment:

> Two other frequently cited options are to use seccomp and network namespaces for this task. Seccomp is a natural solution to consider, but again has significant overhead, since all syscalls must be audited by the attached seccomp handler. Although seccomp handlers are eBPF programs and may be JIT compiled, the performance cost isn’t zero.

Seccomp gained the ability to fast-path syscalls in 5.12 (I think), and ones that will always end in success. The other thing is that seccomp filters are written in cBPF (although compiled to eBPF under the hood).
Greyhound and Schaefer are separate races. The fastest Schaefer would lose a race with the slowest Greyhound.
Jamaicans seem to be faster than swedes. But still, the fastest swede is faster than almost every jamaican. Swedes and jamaicans are not separate races.

With my very basic understanding of orbital mechanics, higher orbits require more dV simply because it's further from Earth.

The more interesting bit is that subtle orbital adjustments require much less dV in higher orbits than in lower ones.

I like to think of it like pushing a barrel uphill: it takes more effort if the slope is steep, but then once it's up there, it's a lot easier to get the barrel moving downhill.

Anyways, the "de-orbit" cost follows the same rule of higher being more costly in dV, the big difference with an ascension being that the atmosphere slowing you down is what you want (aerobraking is the word, I think?). So the difference in dV between a high orbit and a low orbit descent isn't proportionate to that of the ascent, if that makes any sense.
We’re such a stupid species that I’d be astounded if we survive the century. Good riddance
