I dunno, I've done it both ways. I spent about a decade in small companies using all sorts of different kinds of ops solutions, from custom bash scripts on bare metal to capistrano on on-prem VMs to chef on those VMs to chef on AWS to heroku and some things in between all that. I did not at all see all the devops changes of the last five years as unnecessary complexity, I felt all the pain that solutions like those from hashicorp and docker and kubernetes are trying to soothe. And then I went and got a job at a big company with a mature containerized deployment infrastructure and it's just better. It's not like it's easy, but it totally solves the "blank sheet of paper" problem. You don't have to invent some deployment scheme to prototype or launch a new service, you just go figure out how to write the config code and where to put the build artifacts and run a couple commands and voila. Yes, it requires up front investment to get to that point, but if you see yourself as the kind of company that is going to be iterating on new ideas, entering new markets, creating new products, solving scaling problems, just anything that ends up with a lot of cycles of launching new services, then I really think the investment is worth it. Maybe that's still a niche case, maybe not many businesses really fit this, but honestly those that don't aren't really the kinds of businesses I want to work for.

> I have yet to see any scientific evidence supporting AIP.

The food elimination diet is very scientific - you add items back in one at a time to test if they cause a negative reaction to your particular physiology.
I was just looking for something like this, but I would prefer to use NVMe disks, which are now natively supported with the Compute Module 4.
At least for iOS they already do on-device transcription for voicemails, but not voice messages sent via other means.
It would have been surprising and mildly impactful on the world at large, had Facebook lost. So the tech journalists were following it in the small chance that that happened.

It really seems like the folks who are upset at the lack of coverage are so emotionally invested in this trial for whatever reason that they can't see the truth that there's no reason to care about it outside of the personal feelings of the celebrities involved. At least with SCO v IBM, and Oracle v Google, the rulings could, and did, have significant impacts on how regular tech folks went about their careers.
Also, don't use a VPN provider that knows who you are and don't use one in your own jurisdiction.
> No, it is using gas. I didn't find a precise quote, but it's very likely the gas is helium [1]

You are right, but that doesn't make my other arguments invalid. All gasses are poor at transporting energy because they have very low density, specific heat and because you can't use state change.

> Finally, the root cause of why nuclear power plants are so damn expensive is the lack of experience of their construction crews. Virtually every new nuclear power plant is a one-of-a-kind new construction. (...) This reactor is supposed to be followed by 18 more of the same design, on the same site.

It doesn't have to be and the pebble-bed doesn't change anything in that regard. You can take any reactor design and replicate multiple times. Actually, a lot of reactors are made this way. Both Chernobyl and Fukushima actually had multiple reactors made from the same blueprint.

The issue with pebble-bed reactor is that you must create a lot of them because of how much less dense they are in energy production. You produce much less energy from one so you must get so much better at producing a lot of them (in this case whooping 18 of them -- and that is only a start).

All this will cause a lot of reactors and a lot of nuclear material.

So even if the individual reactor design is safer, you get many more of them and this might offset any safety improvements. There is after all a lot of factors that we just do not control like terrorism.
Links please. Not really a fan of PETA but I've heard so much misinformation about them that I really don't think they're as bad as everyone makes them out to be.
> Yes we can use VMs for this, but Mac laptops aren’t generally beefy machines

The newest ones with M1/M1 Pro are actually pretty beefy, and even the Macbook Air has benchmarks that beat literally everything else in the Apple lineup except the iMac Pros and the new-model Mac Pros.

This doesn't help much with current equipment, but it should make future planning easier.
Man, in college I designed the curriculum for, led 7 other TAs, graded and lectured the introductory CS course with 300+ students for two semesters. Clearly I should have told them I was the teacher (Ha!) and should have been paid more than 23/hr but nope my title was Head TA while the professor, who admittedly I hold in high regard supervised to make sure things didn't go off the rails. Honestly it was a great learning experience but yeah sometimes I think about that and laugh to myself.
Rehabilitation is clearly not a high priority in the US Justice system. See: outcomes.

It's a vengeance based system.
Ahh yes, hyper-dense populated, walkable cities with good mass transit. Meanwhile where I live, we grow the food you city dwellers eat and to get to just about any store it’s at least a 10 mile trip.

Maybe I’ll take the bus…oh wait…the nearest stop is 4 miles from my door.
This feels like classic Americanism. We’re so obsessed with freedom from the government and ensuring capitalism marches on that we never bothered to think our government might just buy it’s way into what it wants.

We kept the concepts separated, and weren’t paying attention.
Disagree. I've been on both sides of those choices, and the containerized deployment infrastructure is much nicer to work with, as a software developer. And I think it is less annoying for ops folks too, but I'm less sure about that.
I love HN-3-comments-down. Where else do people just casually claim the global economic and political elite is controlled by a small cabal of foreign intelligence services? And other people jump in to defend! It’s awesome
Relevant excerpt for those wondering what "every Linux distro" means more specifically (xorg):

> On Xorg the default Compose Key is ⇧ Shift+AltGr [...] The X keyboard driver does not allow the key used for Compose to also function as a modifier.

Which might explain why my altgr doesn't seem to work when I try it since it's mapped to mod in i3.

This is completely ridiculous. Epic agreed to not sign certain software, but they did.

Epic promised not to do certain things, but they decided to break that promise. You can call that a “business dispute”, but that doesn’t portray Epic as any less untrustworthy. Epic obviously can’t be trusted to not abuse their signing keys.

Why should Apple allow a known untrustworthy party to sign OS X apps? Honestly, the idea that you should somehow separate these things is probably the stupidest thing I’ve heard during all of my years on HN.
Minor aside: Arm does, in fact, have a recent CPU family with 2-way SMT: Cortex-A65(AE)/Neoverse E1.
And he'll get to orbit just as soon as he figures out how to build a rocket engine.
Where are you getting 17% from? The linked financial highlights show 33% YoY revenue growth for advertising.
Yeah, they already do it for voicemails as well which is nice, so it's surprising they wouldn't take the next step and implement it for iMessage voice. Though I will say the voicemail transcriptions aren't amazing in quality.
Nobleza obliga, latest news indicate the guy extricated a whole lot of records and it would appear authorities are nowhere near as close to unequivocally identifying him as was originally said.
It must keep track of the local blocks because it's the authoritative source for them. You can't rely on someone else's server to enforce your blocks for you because then the whole idea of blocking becomes useless once there are any malicious actors at all.
Hemenway is not reputable. His "research" isn't research, it's advocacy given official backing.
What kind oft write speeds do you get on zfs?

I also have a rockpro64 with two 8tb WD red pro and in subvolumes with encryption i only get 70MB and in non encrypted 110MB.
I already switched from aes256-gcm (the default) to aes256-ccm, since that is less taxing ob the CPU.

I Start to get the feeling that zfs arm is not yet optimised enough.
I think it's a combination of speculation, economic eco-activism, and futurism which will keep Tesla's market cap a self-fulfilling prophecy. Even $3000/person seems like a pretty good deal to make cheap grid batteries and zero-emission transport widely available, even as charity. Then there are the fairly outlandish AI/robot/neuralink promises that Musk can get away with. Even 5-year-late delivery on those promises would have a tremendous impact and so presumably some investors are betting on that as well.

If you take a long view of Musk's projects he's building the infrastructure to colonize Mars (solar, battery storage, rockets, autonomous electric vehicles, trains that operate at Mars' atmospheric pressure). That's unique in the market today and without the ability to invest in SpaceX normal folks will choose Tesla even if it doesn't make much financial sense.
This is likely unrelated to typesetting: it’s for the track changes feature. The final files that go to the printer are probably not produced by word.
Now you're getting the idea!
The tensions go all the way back to the post-Doom (1) era. Carmack wasn't blameless either. Here's a fun war story from Sandy Petersen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_ga1TFBrBo .
You seem to think that contiguous objects in space must live "in the same time" (whatever that means), so if time passed differently for different parts of the object then somehow this would break their topology because parts would be "left behind" (whatever that means).

This is not how the physical reality works, in particular the first assumption doesn't hold. There is no global time. The mapping of 4-space is not only observer-dependent (special relativity) but it also is arbitrary, subject to mathematical constraints outside the level of this discussion (general relativity). Although perhaps it shouldn't be outside this discussion, because your definition of time is one that is not possible.
Can you elaborate how you think a tool like this is neither ethical nor transparent? And why is it bad the writer is ex-FBI?

You appear to be passionate about the issue at hand, but your knowledge on this process seems to be limited.

1. Not being a US company doesn't matter - international agencies send subpoenas just like the US agencies. US govt can send subpoenas to international companies just the same.

2. Not having PII or user data doesn't prevent subpoenas (i.e. Reddit, 4chan, Whisper, etc.)

3. Subpoena’s often come with Non-Disclosure Orders (NDO). Even without NDOs, publication of the actual subpoena is arguably more irresponsible just by the shear fact you could be publicizing PII, and subjecting this user to unfair, and non-contextualized public opinion. Big tech has adopted transparency reports for this reason. User notice is the goal - not publicly shaming your user just to make a point to the government.

4. Non-compliance and willful disregard for the legal order will not change the overall problem. Ironically, you're right that the best way to prevent data requests from the govt might be non-compliance...then the company would get shut down for said non-compliance...so there would be no company for the government to subpoena.

5. User notice is obviously a legal department best practice, but if there is a NDO it puts legal repercussions on a company for disclosing such info. Keeping this process clunky/messy/disorganized hurts the user, and the company. You say this company is not ethical, yet Kodex automatically informs users about data requests pertinent to them, and if there is an NDO, the user is notified immediately upon expiration rather than relying on a legal department employee to remember to manually do it months or years later. Would it be more ethical to keep the process unchanged and prone to human error?

These guides for Law Enforcement (LE) to get data are actually meant to streamline the process for the company, so companies don’t have to deal with non-valid subpoenas. The subpoena is coming regardless…why waste time/resources dealing with non-valid subpoenas when educating LE will help streamline things. Obfuscation is never going to prevent these legal orders…if the FBI wants to send your company a subpoena they are going to whether you tell them how to do it properly or not. Kodex is a best practice that standardizes how the govt can interact with companies, to keep the govt in check, while keeping companies compliant, transparent, and accountable about the process.

As the writer said: “There is a lot that can be fixed in government. This process is one of them. The goal is not to ‘help the FBI do their job more easily’… making the process easier for the company, forces the government to do their job BETTER, and helps society move forward.”
If you're looking for a good OSX window manager, Yabai [1] is excellent. If you're willing and allowed too you can get greater control by disabling SIP. However even with system integrity enabled (which bars access to certain WindowServer APIs - space control, removing shadows, multi-monitor integrations) Yabai functions great.

It uses a messaging passing API to interface with a local service, so it's completely programmable and can be integrated with something like skhd [2]

Oh crap, now not only do I have to live in disappointment that I won't get to eat the candy, I also have to live in fear that the candy monster might come by and eat me.

Mobilizon – federated organization and mobilization platform using ActivityPub
I’m not sure if you’re describing the same issue I had, but whenever my MBP (15”, 2018) would restart during an update (and sometimes just a regular restart), I would get the progress bar after entering my password. The fans would then spin up, the machine would get ridiculously hot, and the machine would restart. It was an endless loop.

Usually, I was able to get it to complete whatever it was trying to do and log me in by holding it directly in front of my air conditioning unit (this was as ridiculous as it sounds), but a few weeks ago even that didn’t work. I had to completely wipe the machine and reinstall macOS. It’s been fine so far.
It means straight up Snowcrash. They are burning 10 billion a year on Oculus and related VR/AR bets. Metaverse/Horizons will be a social platform for VR and AR with a heavy focus on face to face socializing.
Even the headline reads like the jury is letting them off the hook "handing them victory".

Of course people wanted to continue to pile on and get those clicks.
I respectfully, and strongly, disagree.

Darknet Diaries is entertainment first and foremost. It's also a for-profit podcast where it's advertising becomes a problem.

I say this disappointingly, as I like good technical podcasts, but I have found very few in the security space which work well for me.

The information density is low. There's a whole lot of unnecessary back-and-forth banter between hosts and the the typical kind of old-school AM radio type bullshittery. A 30 minute segment often based on a four paragraph blog post.

The other big problem I have with the show is that the advertisement model has a whole lot of dark patterns. It's been sometimes difficult to tell which segments are "sponsored" (paid adverts) and which is attempted-NEWS/info. In fact, most of the shows are just one advert after another, and the guest speakers are often sleazy and leave out important information. That makes Darknet Diaries a misinformation source for me. I stopped trusting what I was hearing after awhile.
The big providers are definitely monitoring, and are probably working with NSA/FBI, if nothing else then at least to look for APT CNE/org.crime.
I consider the videos of Carmack demoing the rift duct tape edition with Doom 3 as the start of modern VR.

Tiny: Check

X86: Check

I’ll be adding a few of these to my build farm for a personal project later this year. I just wish it wasn’t so hard to find gems like this. Most of their docs are tied to the OEM and not if the best quality, but the hardware itself is documented well enough it’s not useless, because fortunately as x86 hardware it has quite a lot of legacy baggage that’s well documented elsewhere.
Huh. Good point.
My partners grandmother in Sydney moved into a care home earlier this year as she nears the end of her life. She had to pay over $500,000 upfront which gives her 10 years of care there, and then its a pro-rated amount is refunded upon death.

I can't imagine there are too many people in this world with half a million dollars ready to go.
What if you don't see them because its the middle of the night and they're not at a crosswalk, a situation designed to have high visibility?
Fuck the UN.
Fuck Joe Biden.
Fuck the rich.
Did you miss the part before your quote about them being a moderate source of vitamin C? The whole sentence needs a re-write anyway IMO, "no significant nutrient content" seems like too strong a statement given the table. A large tomato would cover ~10%DV of a whole bunch of vitamins and minerals.
read as, "we are afraid our demographics arnt valuable enought as crackpot boomers"
I am also sure that I am describing the neurobiology of vision, though I would love to know more about it. Such preferences need to come from somewhere. For example, I have always thought that the popularity of the vignette derives from the fact that our visual field is oval not square.

As for the fine art issue…. As the previous poster implied, art pretty much changed form around 150 years ago. It went from being pretty much rule-based to pretty much rule-breaking. It would be a waste of time to apply My own research on art to (for example) Tracy Emins tent or Joseph Beuy’s dead hare.

I always thought that art would be much easier to talk about if we came up with different names for the stuff that was made since Picasso’s gurnicca and the the stuff made before. They are different things, with different functions and it is only confusing that they are both called art.
>(Not a libertarian) I get the sentiment, but it's been shown that the war on drugs approach is expensive and ineffective.

Is there really a way to show that if the war on drugs never existed, the same number of drug users would exist, thus making the war ineffective? I'm not sure how one would prove this. It seems possible that without the war on drugs, the impact of drugs could be even greater, but again, hard to prove that.

Just an anecdote but in high school my entire reason for not smoking weed was because it was illegal, even though one of my friend groups was really into it.
This is a beautiful example of how incentives drive organizational activity.

In Medicare Advantage, each provider is paid according to how many ICD codes their patients have.

This causes providers to "juice" the numbers by giving their patients a ton of ICD codes.

> Given the dollar magnitude, risk-score gaming becomes a central part of every MA plan’s strategy. The starting point is to get as many diagnosis codes as possible. An entire industry been created to do just that, leading to billion dollar valuations for firms, like Signify Health, that provide analytical tools to enable coding efforts or make home visits for plans and providers. Most Plans now use Artificial Intelligence (AI) HCC Tools to identify coding opportunities.
It's an issue in market information where regulation can't really work [1]. Vendors have a brand. They establish the value of the brand such that purchasers have a signal that they aren't going to be ripped off. For example you can be pretty sure coca-cola isn't going to cut costs to the point where they don't care about putting poison in the bottle - and you don't need regulation to know they won't do it. Zeus-Cola? Brand means nothing. On holiday in an unregulated land when it's only just launched do you advise your family it will be completely safe to drink?

An entrepreneurial team comes along and puts their hearts and souls into setting up a business and establishing the brand with some high quality product. That brand becomes worth something. The easiest way to monetize that brand is to use it for a con job. It sucks.

You thought you were getting quality, it's what you paid for, well you're getting cheap and nasty and we're taking excess profit for as long as the brand lasts. You took the bait and got the switch. Usually (but not always) the original entrepreneurial team is unwilling to do this, because they believed what they were doing was something more than just making money. Private equity is just making money and are extremely willing to do this.

[1] I prefer unregulated markets as far as the alternative is usually worse. There are obvious exceptions at the extreme ends (monopoly, health and safety, fraud, adverse externality etc.) How far away from the extreme you think regulation stops working is a lot of interesting case-by-case discussion where intelligent, reasonable and informed people can disagree in good faith improving their understanding and the quality of suggested policy in the process. It would be nice to see a bit more of it in the media!
After reading all the endless headlines on what happened I finally watched the special last night.

First off it was really funny, some of Dave’s best work since he’s come back.

Also I found it emotionally touching when he told the story of his transgendered friend that committed suicide. Can’t help but notice that was missing from the headlines.

By the end of it I was really confused at why all the hysteria has taken place. As a bisexual man I found his gay jokes pretty funny. You can clearly tell he has a good heart and is just poking fun.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Dave wanted to be canceled and cause hysteria all the while telling his touching story about his transgendered friend. I think he wanted to put the nonsense on display. I see it now as art around the topic of cancel culture.
Dollars to donuts they just give him the cold shoulder. There's no way in hell they get anything they want if they engage in actual conversation. Having watched his series of specials. I see Dave as a powerful adult voice that stands on the side of trans people in living their best lives.

I think a majority of the West has that viewpoint at this point. There's residual boomer prejudice, commentary and humor in poor taste, but people are free to let their freak flags fly, hallelujah. There's a definite trend such that in the coming decades, trans and nonbinary identity won't be a big deal. As it should be. People's private lives are private. As are their privates.

To meet with him, they'd have to confront the reality that he did nothing wrong. That they're in the wrong for trying to crucify him. The tactic used is to now ignore him and attempt to create a different narrative where he's somehow being unreasonable for trying to speak at all.
The problem is your $10 isn't split among artists you listen to. Your $10 is tossed into a pool with all the other $10s and split depending on deals made with Spotify, not based on listening. That means the vast majority goes to the most popular artists' labels, many (maybe most) you never listened to. Most artists make pennies at best because already successful artists have labels that negotiate better per-stream rates. And they still see very little of it once everyone after Spotify and before the artist takes their cut.
