How often is that something otherwise invisible, however? Like if I put one on my bike are there really many thieves who would otherwise not have considered it? I’m sure there are some small things which are relatively covert but it seems like a relatively uncommon situation.
Because that would break TPM or mean adding another chain of trust to the OS verifying TPM which also has problems.
Click the "upstream repository" column. I didn't realize the columns were clickable at first.
As of spring 2021 they actually opened up the Find My spec for third party manufacturers [1] - that’s how those electronic bikes and headphones can have built-in Find My tracking now.

ProxyJump can also be pretty magic. If you have machines all on a subnet (in my example below, 10.1.0.0/24) that you need to use the same SSH jumpbox to reach, you can easily set up a wildcard to transparently proxy jump to any of them:

Host jumpbox-10.1.0.x
HostName jumpbox.example.com
Port ...
User ...

Host 10.1.0.*
ProxyJump jumpbox-10.1.0.x

Then you can just run any random command like ssh 10.1.0.4 and it will just transparently jump through the jumpbox without you needing to specify it!

(Of course, if you have a local subnet that collides and you are also trying to SSH to local hosts then this won't be the right approach for you).
This guy and his experiment seems like a good signal for women to avoid him. Why, exactly, is he finding it so hard to meet someone? What's wrong with him? He's not ugly. He seems to have his own place. Yet he feels he has to pay his friends for help? What kind of friends are those? Moreover, he's the kind of person who publicizes his love-life in the paper. It looks to me like he's casting himself in his own private season of 'The Bachelor'. Ladies, run.

As an aside, I feel bad for the generation that thinks dating apps are the best way to find a mate. The whole 'scale' argument seems ludicrous to me. It sounds like the ultimate consumerist approach to finding companionship. Compatibility is a necessary but not sufficient condition of a happy marriage. Anyone who has been part of a good marriage knows that you grow more compatible over time as you build a family and are challenged by life together. The whole concept of finding someone who isn't like you (or your supposed ideal -- how do you even know what your ideal is??? Think about your ideal child. Now think about your actual child. Would you trade?) so that you can grow with/towards that person seems like a better life than just finding that person you can be your lousy self with. Maybe your self at 25 sucks? If you haven't been in a long-term relationship by 35 then I say with confidence your self probably does suck, not because you're a bad person, but probably just selfish and immature, sorry.

Moreover, delegating mate selection to an algorithm is maybe the most unromantic thing I could have conceived in 1999. No offense, but it pains me to imagine all the 'how I met your mother' stories. It sounds so transactional. Passing through dozens or more people on your way to a marriage seems like Goldilocks tasting porridge.

Moreover, it's been argued that dating apps are bad socially for the larger dating pool. Women on these apps compete for the 20% of "high-status" males. They are conditioned by these males to think they have a chance and to expect to land a high-status mate. Many never find "Mr. Right" and miss out being in a committed relationship during their most productive years. Meanwhile, the 80% of men are competing unsuccessfully for women who are uninterested in them. The 20% of males who can pick and choose are disincentivized to settle down, they also waste their productive years 'playing the field' and ultimately find they are unable to love at all. Sounds like a lose-lose-lose to me.

Here come the down-votes (ducks). Tell me I'm wrong.
I agree with everything you wrote here, but we talk past each other. The article was disturbing and it left an impression on me. There aren't many articles bragging about assassinations; CIA doesn't do that and if it did there would be domestic opposition. Yet the tone of this article makes it clear that they are not worried about that. That's why I wrote the original comment. It's not about "complaining that spy agencies are unethical". Deep down I just don't like what it represents and I don't think any post-hoc rationalisation will change that.
It's not FB. It's progress. You can replace them with any other name in the world. It just happens to be that Facebook announced this rather obvious technology.
Okcupid is pretty awful now. Last I checked, they had removed even the most basic search functionality, making it more Tinder like.

Dating sites were better in the 2000's. Yahoo personals? Craigslist? Even the old match.com were better than what we have now.
I'm not a member of the Rust community (yet), but there was no great leap to understand the oxidation "in-reference", it may very well be community slang, but the link between oxidation and rust in the English language is not at all misunderstood.

As for the agenda of re-write everything in Rust, I cannot comment; as a software engineer I love re-writing things in my new favourite language of the day, so my judgement is clouded.
Have you met COVID?
That approach for most folks is a) really daunting b) usually extremely low odds of success.

It's one thing if it's someone in a social circle, however big. Total stranger? Seems to only result in frustration for most folks.
Great points. With decent sneakers selling for $90 to $150, I'm baffled by business people who focus on wringing the last $10/hr out of their manufacturing staffs.
This makes a nice news story, but based on the criteria mentioned, it is doomed to failure.

1. There are very, very few life-long partnerships. And of the ones that are, some of them are for reciprocal benefits (not love); some are because the people are too scared or complacent to leave; some are because the two are completely lacking in ambition and hope for a better future. Most people change over time, and most people change differently (especially different sexes). To imagine them remaining on a parallel trajectory through long life by nature (instead of sheer willpower or complacency) is naive.

2. Swiping left/right by looks is not for long term partnership. It is for short term physical excitement. And in that regard, it's a good start.

3. No amount of online communication or friend referrals will compare to frequently being around someone, getting to know them, and falling in love with them. This is a very low percentage game he's betting on (unless he's just betting on publicity, in which case he wins 15 minutes of fame).

4. Wait until the (unnamed nationality) recruiters get wind of this. For a chance of $7000, they will inundate him with dates. The smartest of them will promise to share half of it with the women, in which case he'll have more dates than he has time for. And if he has some money, the more desperate women will fake their way to marriage, winning the $3500 and potentially a comfortable life (only having to have sex with him a couple of times per week).

This may sound pessimistic, but it's really just an observation on traditional modern marriage. People don't work like the story books suggest, and the story books are based on fiction that doesn't represent the vast majority of human history.

The good news for him and anyone else who wants to expand their awareness is that one can have many good meaningful relationships and some really great physical relationships in one lifetime. And be happy through most of it.
Also for context some years back Australia recalled ambassadors to France over nuclear testing in the pacific. So this is a bit tit for tat in response.

Regardless I feel it's incredibly badly handled especially given trade situation with China. Australia is pivoting more towards other markets like EU (negotiations happening currently) and I can't imagine France is going to be too agreeable to this.
Yep, it's basically useless now. Are there any decent dating sites?
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize"

If you'd like to learn more, simply read Culture of Critique (google Culture of Critique PDF for a free version) to learn about the principles of Judaism and the (lack of) respect they have for non-Jews (considered "cattle" by "the chosen").

It has long been time for this discussion to exit the shadows. It is not anti-semitic to note the disproportionate influence Israeli & Zionists have on all leadership of all three branches of the US government. (Not to mention their involvement in other governments as well as revolutions-- Bolshevik & Chinese communist revolutions were funded & advised by Jews.)
> Google/Apple will catch you in hours/days

Tell that to the Hola and Honey extensions. They're known to be a botnet and for this kind of abuse for years yet you can still find them everywhere in the App/Play Store...and _so_ many tech related youtube channels keep advertising for them blindly, it's ridiculous.
Out of interest, do you believe you the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was a win or loss for the USSR?
I agree, there should be a stronger Western alliance. Excluding France does seem strange.

People often talk about millennials not repairing anything, but where could we go to do it? There is nowhere you can go to get shoes repaired in a way that doesn't look terrible--and even if you could, shoes aren't built to be repaired. No extra material to sew anything back up after a tear, hollow soles that are glued on with the cheapest possible glue, fake leather, synthetic fibers that tear easily... What are we to do?
A key factor there is the word 'war'.
I mentioned okcupid as an option that helps focus better into your expected compatible population. Others are noting it is changed from when I used it. The reason I liked it is that all my choices were far higher quality and my experiences helped me better understand my deeper nuances.

If you're looking for a relationship I would suggest avoiding the swiping apps. That fits my bias. I think that choosing a partner or partners in life is one of the most important and most salient things we do and should get commensurate attention. Further, none of the most important aspects of a person are present in their appearance, not to mention a mere image. I believe this is so even if there are echoes of them available and accepting that our presentations to the world are generated by the pattern that we manifest. It still seems to me that it is the pattern you are attempting to discover, evaluate compatibility with, and create relationship to. The point there being to create new configurations and patterns according to the value systems of participants and structures of reality. It would take a huge stretch of imagination to devise a swiping app to help with that.

It's still pretty crowded, but not quite as much as pre-pandemic in my experience. Most everything is still open.
It has provided quite a few high rise buildings that are used by a lot of people. That will keep happening as long as it is allowed, making it possible for more people to enjoy the city.
I implemented a date time library for JS a few years ago and took heavy inspiration from java.time. My conclusion is that the time zones are the hardest part of the whole thing. Time zones are defined by political entities that doesn’t give two cents about implementing them. Also there is a huge variance in their details so just because you understand time zones in X country, don’t assume that knowledge is universal. Some of my favorites are timezone changes at midnight, so 1159>1am, meaning some days lack a midnight. Also some Muslim countries switch back to normal time for Ramadan, which means up to 4 changes in a single year.

Also anyone trying to sell “Midnight GMT” as a date only format is in for a world of trouble down the line.
Videos of kids jumping off a house onto a table, that’s still okay though.
I'm not sure I follow. The cost of capital is lower in the US than in developing countries because of the generally lower risk of investing in the US. For example, long-term AAA corporate bond yields seem to be about 150 bps higher in China than the US; estimating the cost of equity rigorously is much harder but most estimates would suggest an even wider gap.
Well, modules can be designed to protect my security, or to harm my security (e.g. to enforce DRM). I'm unclear on how "real TPM" functionality helps me. If it helps secure Microsoft, and hurts my security, that's a good reason to not use Windows.

I have not found good docs on what TPM exactly does in Windows 11, but people I trust tell me to distrust it, so I do.
The fundamental asymmetry is bandwidth. If you can overwhelm my incoming connection, I can't do much useful work.

I've got to pay for capacity, but a bot net controller doesn't need a whole lot of bandwidth to trigger a lot. If you control 10,000 hosts with 10Mbps upload, that's 100Gbps; and botnets are growing as are typical upload bandwidths.

And that's without spoofing and amplified reflection attacks. Some of the reflection attacks have high amplification, so if you've got access to 100Gbps of spoofable traffic, you can direct Tbps of traffic.

If my server has a 10G connection and you're sending me 1Tbps, there's just no way I can work.

Syncookies work pretty well for TCP, I had run into some effective SYN floods against my hosts I managed in 2017, but upgrading to FreeBSD 11 got me to handling line rate SYNs on a 2x 1Gbps box and I didn't take the time to test 2x10G as I wasn't really seeing that many SYN floods. I don't recall any more effective SYN floods after that point. We didn't tend to have dedicated attackers though; people seemed to be testing DDoS as a service against us, and we'd tend to see exactly 90 or 300 seconds of abuse at random intervals.

Our hosting provider would null route IPs that were attacked if the volume was high enough for long enough. Null routing is kind of the best you can hope for your upstreams to do, but it's also a denial of service, so there you go.
Is there a way around this restriction? Does the registry hack that floated around when the first beta came out still work?

Nothing you said in this post addresses why margins need to be a relative percentage instead of an absolute amount, which what the post you're responding to brings up. You seem to be talking about the general concept of credit. I understand that there's an unstated "every dollar you spend costs you X in financing", but that's not clear from your post.

I'd also strongly suggest Goldratt's lectures, titled "Beyond the Goal" over the Goal itself, as the novel is pretty thin on useful information comparatively.
Yeah, China today makes world class products. I started buying Chinese smartphones, they work great, doesn't come with much crapware and are super cheap per performance. I don't see the point in paying extra for a western company to take basically the same phone, put a brand on it and crap in it.

A legal system only has influence within its borders though (other than extradition treaties). And since the drone can't be prosecuted and the operators are outside of the borders, what can you do but give them bad press?
There's also things like local Netflix/Google/etc caching boxes where you can serve downsteam traffic without touching your upstream as much.
> Facebook understands the significant responsibility that comes with operating a global platform. We take it seriously, and we don’t shy away from scrutiny and criticism.

You mean like how you've shut out the academic institutions that have tried to do independent research on your platform and algorithms? Supplied incorrect data to the institutions that did sign up for your programme?

The only 'significant responsibility' FB seems to take seriously is making money, whatever the cost.

Facebook has gone out of its way to avoid independent scrutiny. Mealy-mouth words from a failed politician don't change that.
You’ll find them here or there. There’s two or three shoe guys in a nearby affluent suburb, I’m sure in the city center there’s several more. There’s a pretty active Reddit sub, GoodYearWelt about high quality resolable footwear.

Since this app is for Android and the Apple apps mentioned by the parent comment are for Android, I think he's saying Apple should be the ones providing their own AirTag app for Android, not university students.
I got one in Australia with Extended Basic, speech synthesiser, joysticks and cassette. The sprites were next-level cool compared to my friends Apple II, Vic-20 and Trash-80

I wrote a pretty good frogger clone (with only the road part to cross) that worked so well because the event loop was just joystick input and call coinc(all) for sprite collision with the Y axis value of your frog indicating you were in a home base position.

I also wrote a kind of 3 part game where each stage used the full resources of the machine, and each stage of the game required another load from cassette, which normally wipes all your memory and therfore variables so in order to pass variables between the stages of the game I wrote hex values into the extended font/character set memory, because the last few were user editable and retained in memory even after fresh program load (which would decode the hex from the font character to keep your score and number of lives consistent with the prior program/stage of the game).

I had Parsec too of course, but way more fun creating your own games from scratch, or porting a printout of a game from TRS-80 basic and then converting it to use sprites.

Aged 11 to 13 I spent my school holidays mostly indoors learning to code, fond memories of the magic of discovery and creation :)
Probably because the people capable of building that necessary expertise choose to go into more profitable and easy to access ventures, like software as a service, and I don't mean software developers.
This is just my speculation, but I wouldn’t put it past the Australian Prime Minister making a “Captains Call” here.
He’s notoriously stubborn and doesn’t listen to experts in all circumstances he should.

Basically all high performance VPN implementations are kernel-mode. Just because something is difficult does not make it automatically wrong. Note that the main userland VPN which gets cited (OpenVPN) has terrible battery and latency performance.

I had a TI 99/4A back in the 80s. TI Logo was pretty good (the company had been interested in Logo for some years). The system architecture was really nice, and for the time, the 9900 microprocessor was really elegant.

What doomed the system was TI's vision of a closed architecture, with software distributed on cartridges on which TI would make a rip-roaring profit. When I read about this vision, I put my system up for sale, and sold it a few days before TI announced they were getting out of the “home computer” market.

I've never known much about TI's internal workings, but I've always imagined that the company, at least at that time, had excellent engineers and really clueless management.
How many person hours do you think it takes to assemble an automobile? By my estimate it's something like 20 person hours for a reasonably complex product. I used to work in an automotive assembly plant, but if you want real numbers you can buy or find a Harbour Report.

Note this does NOT include indirect labor (skilled trades), salaried employees, or the time taken to make the parts installed at the assembly plant (engines, transmissions, bolts, glass, etc)
The majority appear to believe that actual contrarian opinions are "misinformation" and the average person isn't smart enough to be exposed to them without being corrupted, so only approved opinions, linked to reliable sources like government, should be allowed to be shared.
You sound so pessimistic you should just keep your comments to yourself from now on out.

Yeah. They are definitely not for style.

How does one go about finding investors in the first place? A couple buddies who weren't into tech are putting together a product and haven't even considered outside funding because everything seems so opaque to them. The whole plan is to try and incrementally make enough money from early sales while working out of a garage to scale up. They're a couple of midwesterners who have never had any connection to the tech or finance industries.
You don't need all those small libs but apparently React is mandated in every shop now... the JS community is a joke.

Where is the "you don't need React" website/repo again?
(more rich people). Average people are not living there and they are getting increasingly squeezed. But if that's your goal, I guess we fundamentally disagree then.
I've wondered what would happen if Hacker News cloned itself into one or more additional sites. All the account-based voting and karma would stay the same, with the only difference being the intended subject matter.

- Hacker News classic would cover technology/business/Silicon Valley

- Hacker News "rest of world" would cover the usual mixture of interesting curiosity-inspiring links

There could even be an interface choice to re-combine the two back into one (effectively reversing the split in the first place).

Maybe the same thing could be accomplished just by adding an (optional?) tagging system for submitted links, along with a way to zoom into a specific tag's link if that's what you're interested in.

Of course, all that sort of begs the question: what exactly is the motivation for running Hacker News? Put another way, what outcome would they be trying to optimize for?
