Well, here in UK it's common when buying a house from a developer that the house comes with a covenant of some kind that stipulates that you can't make modifications to the front of the house without obtaining permission from the developer first. Yes, even though the house is entirely yours. The given reason being that they don't want you making the house "ugly" and ruining their reputation as a house builder.
I wonder why people don't demand more non-profit news or why articles written by for-profit organizations are as trusted as they are. Why should people trust articles written by NyT over articles written by Google?
Haven't we seen a decline in violence and crime during that same period... I wonder if there is correlation, or even causation.
You can also normalize the password, e.g. always make the first letter lowercase and reverse the case of the rest if the second letter is uppercase. Then you only have to hash that.

HeLLo, heLLo, hEllO, HEllO all normalize to heLLo
Or you can get a heart defect from the shots. Or blood clots.

So there's no categorical "take the shot" or "dont take the shot". It's your personal risk profile that should be the deciding factor. Not some troll on the internet/tv telling you what to do.
Will it work for the convention in the UK of writing +44 (0)1234 567 8901 which says to use 01234 dialling code inside the UK or 441234 if calling from another country, and don’t dial 4401234 ever?
Also watch out for a clause giving the buyer the right to buy back the employee shares, possibly at par value.

That means you could have executed those options 5 years ago (to prevent a windfall tax), and just get you money back at acquisition time. Zero interest five year loan. Thanks!
That falls apart when:
1. You believe abortion is the act of taking someone else's life.
2. You try to dictate other people's speech to acknowledge there are more than 2 genders when the person you are telling doesn't believe it.

Seems weird that you would frame it in a 1 sided way.
I would argue that the user running a script to apply the patch is them applying it themselves.

I believe the important part here is that the patch does not include the copyrighted software, only the modifications.
You're getting downvoted for telling the uncomfortable truth.
Show HN: Campfire, a Cozy Web Framework
Only went to Berlin, but i guess there is two different kind of foreigners: tourist/students, and immigrant workers. Also i think the night scene in berlin is quite pro-cultural differences, but its true than when i worked with Universities in (forgot the name, rhineland?), you could tell even immigrants were acting German, it was quite weird.
This looks interesting. Is there something like a Vagrant build image for this so that you can easily automate the build process to pick up the updates and adjust the configuration/customization in a json or yaml file?
“Nothing's lost on the internet.” What haven't you found after years of looking?
I wonder how they do these studies to accommodate trans men. Is it allowed to filter these studies on birth sex rather than gender?

I can’t find good stats on the percent of trans men in the population but I imagine it’s both low, and increasing from 2007 to now.

May not be significant enough to affect the study if it includes some from random sampling, but I imagine trans men have lower testosterone than non-trans men.
And growth in individuals that identify themselves outside the traditional straight/gay framework.

While this is generally considered a cultural change, I feel that hormonal changes cannot or at least should not be ruled out a priori.
Facebook doesn't even require you get your login email address 100% right.
No, they give their wealth to their family as gifts, and they have no capital gains because they were living like a royalty off of loans leveraged against their assets and so their effective gains are zero, among other tricks. It's easy for the rich to avoid taxes.
Nooo :(
This is just standard anti-vax bullshit.
So I've spent the past few weeks working on this, and while it's chiefly for educational purposes, a usable product is definitely an end goal.

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks.
Well yeah, the problem with Delta is that it's so infectious that the tiny fraction of kids that face real risk is still a huge number as an absolute value.

https://mobile.twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/144680575939271...

> Now a top trending killer in kids 5-14: #DeltaVariant.

> Surging from near 0% in June to now ~8% of deaths in kids 5-14 are #COVID19 in September.

Some of those kids can get the shots, and should.
It seems like a fair summary of laws, not ‘dripping with assumptions’. And rainwater harvesting—something I’ve spent years doing and researching—is the most common ‘off grid’ practice. There’s a continuum of ‘off grid’ out there—most folks aren’t 100% disconnected from shared services.

Is anyone seriously arguing both against the vaccine and pro infection?

People are just saying (and science confirms) that previously infected shouldn't be discriminated against or forced to vaccinate.
I mean, it doesn't make much sense to replace an abusive feature with a software that has the same abusive potential.

If it was open source, then maybe there would be some reason to trust it.
Nuclear waste is buried in underground rock formations with geological ages in the millions of years.

It's not a perfect solution, but if we don't start building out nuclear, we're going to flood most cities on Earth in 50 years.

All these renewable green energy solutions have failed to provide BASELINE reliable power. Nuclear is literally the only near-zero-carbon solution that works.
It's unbelievable that this far into the pandemic people are still making this argument. It has been known from near the beginning that the direct risk to kids is relatively small. The risk is secondary exposure. Kids in school spread diseases like kudzu and can expose hundreds of adults very quickly. Protecting kids will prevent spread. Not to mention kids who are vaccinated can still possibly be exposed to covid and have a further immune response as strong as full infection (this bit is not proven, I'm speculating).
I can't see a difference between these two things. I would think the `patch` command and a (bash?) "script" are legally equivalent.
I've made this comment a few times on HN, one very recently - so apologies if someone reads it twice now - but your comment really wants to make me do it again.

When I talked to my dad about RDBMS he was like "weeeelll, sure, there's things like DB2 UDB that do relational but performance wise, nothing beats reading the data straight by key in exactly the format you need.".

DB2 UDB: "Initial release: 1987; 34 years ago". I.e. what he would rather use and is sort of the NoSQL equivalent is _even older than that_. DBM (Ken Thompson - released by AT&T in 1979) comes to mind, tho I don't remember exactly what it was he was using/referring to, which would have been something that would rather run on S/360 and S/370 systems. It's been a while.

Background: he started off with 360 assembler and worked all his working life on IBM Mainframes and the various technologies in and around it. They had it all and they had it before it came to "us". We're just re-inventing most of these things on much cheaper and more open hardware and software.

All that to say: We still need these kinds of articles, because people "tend to forget". Or not even check "prior art". There was a recent article and comments around even research papers essentially being re-done and presented as novel research. And on some level that is even correct, because the authors genuinely came up with the same ideas and research as the original authors did. But 20+ years after the fact.
Yes, but if you catch covid and survive it, you should do the right thing and still get vaccinated against it, because that is more betterer, according to the the completely unbiased media that they happen to be injecting with cash while they otherwise circle the drain.
Of course there is. You need to enclose the ipv6 in square brackets. Eg: http://[::1]
People raving about moving to Texas is plain stupid. Housing prices in places like Austin have increased to unaffordable levels for many locals. They are affordable only for California transplants.
If you're going to claim that Microsoft including Teams in Windows is "competing" then Slack is simply "competing" by utilising the EU.
I think that is the wrong question to ask. Web apps are more productive, almost by default, because you don’t need to rewrite the application for each distribution target.

I can build a web application and deploy it on the web, on Windows, on Mac OSX, on iOS, on Android, on Linux, immediately. With minimal extra effort, assuming I know what I’m doing.

Correct me if I’m wrong (it’s possible), but I don’t think that’s at all possible with native libraries, or even cross-platform frameworks like Qt.

It also means companies don’t have to hire multiple product teams. They can hire one team.

So even if native development is 10-20% more productive (I’d disagree, but for arguments sake), it’d still fall short.

Webtech might score low on the CPU efficiency scale, but it scores very high when it comes product timelines, headcount, payroll and (arguably) ease-of-hiring.

This is why I think webtech almost always makes more business sense. At least for your typical SaaS product.

This is why I’m excited for WASM. We might finally have the tooling for truly cross-platform development without sacrificing efficiency/low level control.
> Some even believe that there are only two genders!

i.e. almost everyone a few years ago. Worldwide, most people still don't think there can be more than two sexes.
Isn't the point protecting the adults? The kids will mostly survive even if they get the virus, but they can infect their relatives, teachers, etc.
I am not a legal expert at all, but I guess this blurs a bit more the separation between open source and closed source...

It looks like the only remaining issue is the licensing model, which would need to consider the legislation on where the software is acquired or executed.

EULAs will probably be rewritten, lawyers will profit.
> Then it's taxed when they die at a hell of a lot higher than single digits.

It's not an exaggeration to say the rich rarely actually pay these taxes you describe. There are innumerable ways around it.
Doesn’t work? The old Apple podcasts app worked just fine. It’s the modern one that breaks and has UI jumping all the time.
Hmmm, that's the kind of battery that electric cars use? There are some worries about availability of the rare earth metals for them... Are they used for the engines only?
I just checked on my mobile and it was OK. Can you send a screenshot to me (jp@smets.com) so that we can improve?
I think the comments author was referring to the socio-political response of some locales to the virus. Over the summer in the US there was quite a bit of media coverage of pediatricians’ editorials and heightened coverage of children’s hospitals. That is just my impression as a person who doesn’t keep daily watch and count of things.

I can see how a knee jerk reaction to the apparent discordance would be to discount either the early coverage or the research. If one takes a breath to think, the two are not mutually exclusive since something not worse for the population overall could also be substantially worse for a subset of the population.
Also, increasing consumption of soy and growing popularity of socialism.
No, its knowing about statistics and chances of catching something and dying because you are on immune system supressing drugs.

As per the article "Organ recipients are already generally required to be vaccinated against hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, and tetanus"

If they are too fucking stupid to take a simple injection to save their life then so be it. There is no rationale for them not to take it.
That makes no sense logistically - the test to accurately measure that the people indeed have the antibodies in sufficient strength is more expensive than the vaccine - and now you have to distribute both instead of just one. It's not worth it.
The world needs to be able to make fertilizers for industrial agriculture after we run out of fossil fuels. We currently do this using hydrogen split from natural gas in the Haber-Bosch process. In order to decarbonize agriculture, we have no choice but to make hydrogen at a scale large enough that it becomes attractive for a number of other applications such as steel and cement manufacture, shipping, and aviation.

Hydrogen is inevitable.
That's incredibly relevant lol. Out in the Midwest, we say 'ohp' a lot as a tick. I had never noticed this until a buddy of mine pointed it out.

So you admit that the problem is the law, but you dislike the fact that the judges correctly interpreted it.

If you want judges to be able to rewrite laws to your liking, you should be aware that other people with worse views on copyright might also want judges doing that.
That’s because there are still enough willing pawns that accept these offers without knowing what they’re getting. That won’t change until the market wakes up and enough people stop subjecting themselves to such nonsense to the point that companies can’t hire. Until then, as the saying goes there’s a sucker born every minute. If you think I’m being syndical, ask a typical startup to see everything people have described in this tread and watch them squirm.
You should read about the step up in basis loophole that happens when you die. That's the biggest one I'm aware of where your estate doesn't pay taxes after death that you would have owed in life. I'm sure there are many others I'm not aware of, but this is one everyone should know about.

It is sad that things like this are even required in the first place. I would really like to have more trust and confidence in Microsoft. To earn that trust they could provide one page with all PowerShell sub-commands and links from each command to a man/help page with real world examples so I don't have to trawl through technet and google or random github gists.

They could also give people a true option during installation to really for-really-real disable telemetry regardless of what license home, pro, enterprise, ltsc they are using.

It's somewhat common. The Eurostar (train) from Paris takes you to central London (Kings Cross) in just over 2 hours.

Doing it every other Monday/Friday is not uncommon.
Yikes, I didn't know that. Seems like I need to make my fidelity password 6 times longer.

Does this also mean they probably store passwords in clear text? Because there's no way to normalize the numeric passwords back to letters and symbols.
The spent-fuel waste is roughly one barrel per reactor per year - not a lot and easily managed.

There is a lot of very-low risk waste (ie of the same radioactivity as bananas) which really doesn't not need to be treated like life threatening material as it is today - and is much more voluminous. The amount of that stuff depends on what the local regulations are making plants dispose of (eg some places force plant employees to throw out their uniforms every week).
There have been literal COVID parties as anti-vaxxers try to get immunity the natural way.

The moral hazard of legitimizing natural immunity is very real. Yes the biological science shows that natural antibodies work well, but social science tells us what dumb people will do it that's supported as a solution.
> what about people who never held or no longer hold office?

You don't have to "hold office" to be a corrupt crook. Mafia bosses don't normally "hold office".
> Kids in school spread diseases like kudzu

I was expecting this at the start of this school year but it hasn’t really borne out as bad as I thought.
The “anti-soy-boy” crowd is going to have a field day with this one…
The retro repair videos on YouTube are so quickly becoming my favorite content on there. I don't know if I just find the inside of computers neat, or it hits hard in the nostalgia, or realistically both, but it's so cool to see talented people keeping tech alive instead of letting it become trash.
why would you have to retrieve multiple? could you not calculate the 3 hashes, and then do SELECT WHERE pass = HASH1 OR pass = HASH2 OR pass = HASH3? You don't care which one was correct just that one is.
Looking at this comment section, i wonder how we have gotten to this point : basically any comment gets downvoted by the other side.

This whole crisis has become so political, it's completely absurd. We should be able to quietly talk about what's proven and what's not, what's a safe precaution, what's overkill, etc. without getting too passionate about it..

On a sidenote, I don't know if twitter is a good representative of the public debate in the US, but the level of hysteria on covid has reached an absurd level: obeses american wanting to wear no mask vs psycho-mum wanting to sue the whole world in order to protect their kids...

The most amazing thing about this epidemic could end up being our reactions..
If a headline ends with a question mark, you can reliably answer, "no", and save yourself the trouble of reading it.
I can get behind that mindset, but if you're using Windows you've already given up your ability to introspect your system. The same is true for most of macOS/iOS and large parts of the basic feature set found in Android. Most Windows programs, both freeware and paid, are closed source, that's just the way that ecosystem functions.

These companies can exist the same way Winrar can exist: give people the tool for free, wait for them to want to use it at their business and sell the subscriptions there. Businesses are much more wary if pirated software than consumers so Winrar manages to survive to this day. To me, the amount of telemetry collected from modern crapware indicates a lack of trust in the product from even the developers themselves, which in turn proves to me that the product isn't very good on some level I might not be able to see.

Just because something is free doesn't mean it's not reliable if there are business subscriptions funding the product itself. The way programs stalk their customers these days used to be rare and the O&O team seems to follow the old software shop practices rather than "modernising" and adding the very thing they try to block to their own product.
Disclaimer, I'm French.

It's tough but it's a reminder that every country have their quirks and identities. People seem to imagine that moving from California to Texas is the same as UK to France or Greece to Germany, but it isn't.

It's relatively easy to physically move but getting integrated is a whole other story. I moved from France to Germany, salaries aren't crazy here either, I pay more tax, bureaucracy is equally complex, and people are just different, culture plays a big role. People underestimate how conditioned we are from birth to things like philosophical/political views, ways of life, humour, &c. and even language, no matter how long you'll learn a language you'll never be able to express yourself as naturally as a native (I'm not talking about ordering a beer or filling tax reports, but more on an emotional side, having deep discussions about complex topics, &c.) and tbh I like it that way. I'd say it also is extremely dependant on which part of the country you move to, big cities are hell almost universally, Berlin is an open dumpster but take the train for 2 hours to Hamburg and it's much cleaner, on the flip side it's much easier to meet peopel in Berlin than Hamburg. Same thing with Paris and Strasbourg for example

Small apartments, regular strikes, the public system, they all take their roots in French history; the good, the bad and the ugly.

Moving to another country is a chance, but it equally is a sacrifice
> High EQ individuals have told me this is wrong and the appropriate reaction would be to take offence and try to make them feel bad, but I've argued this would just result in an objective reduction in happiness in the world so it wouldn't make sense. Plus, most of the time my colleagues have been nice to my face so it's not like it's ever got in the way of me doing my job.

You may be wrong, and these "High EQ individuals" right, in the sense that your acquiescence to this bullying behaviour might encourage the bullies to keep it up with others too. In that sense, your standing up against them would be not just for yourself but for all their potential future victims too, which would increase the future sum total of happiness in the world.

(I'm not saying it is necessarily so, but it may be.)
Guy is a great writer though
They differentiate between biological sex (which is also more complex when considered in full) from gender. It's quite simple really.

Yup...famously Buffett's worst acquistion was of Berkshire Hathaway itself!

It probably cost him ~$200B.
We're the same age. I'm from the South West, but called Warwick my home. Before Corona I visited family in the South West regularly - driving along the M20 > M4 > M5 or M20 > M4 > A-roads.

Dover, Maidstone, Swindon, Bath, Bristol and Exeter all look and feel worse with every visit.

The shops are where you see it the most. In the past towns were full of boutique places. They have been replaced by "pound shops" and plastic fantastic chains (like Gregs). Or horrible fake pubs like Wetherspoons or whatever it's called.

The South West has just gotten so bloody old. I'm 41, and when I'm there I feel young.

People there are so angry - I'm constantly being sworn and shouted at by fat old (60+) guys because I have a European car.

The country has just turned into a shitshow, only like frogs being slowly cooked the people living there are blind to it.

It's not just me - it comes up all of the time in conversation with European friends.
A large part might have to do with internet pornography. Masturbation is already known to lower T levels temporarily. Do we know what the long term effects of chronic masturbation are?

Before you prepare to downvote me for having Christian sentiment, know that semen retention is actually an old eastern practice known to boost libido and health.

And yes, (ready for the pedants), prostate health has been correlated to unclogging old fluid in "the pipes" but that doesn't require the frequency of masturbation that is commonly practiced by single men in America.

The mental effects of constant video arousal have already been documented to be the cause of underperformance and erectile dysfunction in men. It's not a far stretch to ask if this psychological effect has a feedback mechanism coupled to libido and testosterone production.
I’m sure it’s client side and it just retries the different ways if it encounters a password error. Much easier and more secure than 3 versions of the password.
I actually agree with this in principle, but isn't California a huge source of food for much of the west coast? Where will the food be grown then?
Why? Please elaborate why you consider this bullshit. I mean making personal decisions based on personal risk is seldom considered "bullshit". Why is it bullshit in this case? Because the TV says so?
