The threat of terrorism is massively overblown across the board, not just with respect to nuclear waste. The means to make conventional explosives are widely available, yet outside of a handful of conflict zones it is rarely done. Americans can buy gunpowder at walmart, yet how many pipebomb attacks have you heard of? A handful, but not many. Not many considering the country has hundreds of millions of people with ready access to the means to make them.

The incidence rate of people inclined to terrorism is vanishingly low. And when you start talking about plots that require numerous people to cooperate, rather than a single lonewolf nut, there is even less to worry about. The more people a plot requires, the less likely it is to actually happen. Coordinated attacks against nuclear power plants or waste disposal facilities are fantasy.

Dear HN: What should those of us who are completely powerless in this do?

I am a fairly empathetic person, and the fact that over a billion people are likely to die from wet bulb or whatever else, purely in the name of money, greed, & systematic buffoonery has me pretty mentally fucked up already.

That is explicitly a simplified representation used only to compute the checksum of the UDP package. It doesn't even include the full IP header, nor does it touch any of the protocols the IP package would be encapsulated in at all.

Not sure this would be enough, I think ISPs generally have complete ranges of IP addresses so it would be trivial for an attacker to create a list of "valid" IPs to use.

This has been occupying my mind space lately.

I used to describe this situation as “late stage capitalism” and lay the blame at capitalism’s feet. I’ve recently done a 180 on that.

The tangling of Copyright, Trademark, and Patent law into the mega-legal structure of “intellectual property” law has had devastating effects IMO.

The government creates and protects monopolies, and then allows those monopolies to be bought and sold like playing cards. It’s not surprising that pools of money result in the concentration of these government created monopolies.

This is most evident to me in healthcare. The pattern in the late 2000s and 2010s was to purchase up drug companies for their IP, gut the R&D, and jack up drug prices since the government would enforce their monopoly - and consumers had no choice since they needed the drugs. Yes this is GREED, but this isn’t capitalism. Capitalism would _solve_ this - but government actively stands in the way of letting market pressures fix that market.
That looks like a really interesting course.
I'd say that DNSSEC records coupled with something resembling WKD makes for a pretty good way to distribute information in a somewhat trusted manner.

Nothing can really replace out-of-band in-person verification because human perception is remarkably difficult to spoof against or MITM. Comparing keys found in two bands, e.g. DNSSEC records and WKD (using TLS verified by the wpki system), is close enough for most threat models: you'd have to compromise DNSSEC and a CA to break that system.

I think the article said the disabling of view source is an enterprise feature that's limited to specified URLs. Prior, the bug was, it wasn't working. That is, you could not disable view source for list of URLs.

I agree. View source is generally a good thing. But if an org wants to disable it for some limited set of URLs that's not really an issue. This feature doesn't effect everyone.

My takeaway of the news here was that this bug was open for so long and was finally fixed. But perhaps I read with the wrong lens.
> And there is no sense in which any education is a natural monopoly whatsoever. It is the exact opposite -- a competitive market whose costs are predominantly variable (per-student) rather than fixed.

The thing that worries me about this kind of thinking is that, while it's technically correct, privatizing education, or treating it as a competitive market, gives you bad outcomes. The rich can afford to send their kids to the best schools, which keeps the rich families rich. The poor can only afford to send their kids to the worst schools, or the chronically-underfunded public schools, and this keeps the poor families poor.

We already see this in some (many?) US school districts with our hybrid public/private system, largely because public education is underfunded and private schools are generally out of financial reach for most folks.
> I'm a bit suspicious that the branches in the streaming log-exp-sum might cause a performance impact when executing,

Since you're just checking whether the current sample is larger than the largest sample seen so far, you're very likely to find a "large" sample early that rarely gets updated. From then on, this branch will virtually always be false, and the branch predictor will make this fast. Unless the distribution is increasing (but not monotonically increasing) over time in an unpredictable way; in that case, the branch predictor will fail often and will be slow.

The branch predictor (and cache, for that matter) is a sort of Schrodinger's cat that makes programs both slow and fast at the same time, but you never know which until you benchmark it.
Whatever you said doesn't at all change my assertion that the M1 is now just one step away from becoming a closed system - With the M1, Apple can now easily lock the bootloaders of M1 Macs any time and make it a completely closed platform like the iPhones / iPads. And it is evident that Apple has been planning this for years:

1. The first few Intel Mac Minis allowed you some level of customisation of both the hardware (change RAM or HDD / SSD) and software (install other full featured OS).

2. Then came the Mac Minis with soldered RAM and SSD. You could no longer customise the hardware. Software was still customisable and you could still install other OSes. (Recall that Apple even offered free drivers for another OS, i.e. Windows).

3. The current generation of M1 Mini now doesn't allow you to customise both the hardware (everything is soldered) and the software. Technically you can install other OSes, but the reality is that currently only crippled versions of Linux and xBSD is available and practically the only full-featured OS available for it is macOS.

These are clear indicators of how Apple has been working slowly to lockdown the Mac platform like their ios platforms. (The strategy to keep you in denial - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog - has been working great for them). The reason for this is simple - BigTech are increasingly moving towards selling everything as a service. Services are more profitable because it means they create recurring income (even after the device is sold) which means more profits. and Apple's successful business model for this, that earns them billions of dollars, is the closed-platform model that is evident on iPhones / iPads.

> Modular RAM is no longer viable for low-power, high-performance laptops.

That is deliberately misleading and ignorant. Low Power DDR chips (that are soldered) were invented for mobile phones where every watt drawn matters. On laptops they offer only negligible power savings that doesn't really matter - yes, the power saving is negligible on a laptop as the difference in power used in modular RAM vs LPDDR is between 1 to 0.5 volt. That matters on phones because they have small batteries (5 - 15 Watt-hour), but that power saving is negligible on a laptop as it has bigger batteries (40 - 95 Watt-hour).

It's as good as meaningless when you consider what you lose - soldered ram can't be upgraded and is hard to repair. The loss of this big benefit - repairability - hugely trumps the minor power savings. Apple, and others, know this very well - for them, the real attraction to using soldered RAM is that it allows for planned obsolescence.

In fact, reasonable alternative ram chips like DDR3L (low voltage) and DDR3U (ultra low voltage) that offer lower power on modular RAM that were specifically created for servers and laptops, have been deliberately ignored by computer manufacturers, in favour of soldered LPDDR, and that is why the memory industry too is forced to do more R&D on them.
A bit of internet collective wisdom borrowed from the highly reputable source of reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/22j0n6/why_do_am...

The attitude I am referring to is that of when people having it too good need to find something to complain about insted of brushing off a generalization (which as most stereotypes is based on factual bases)

Based on the snarky-ness of the article favoring "the greatness" of European nations (compared to the rest of the world), maybe I should have said "not in the US, where 'most' will sue you for looking wrong at them"

I was not trying to go for the shortest code, but to show idiomatic code where you could easily do something else instead of just returning same values (otherwise, there is no value in wrapping a list with a class at all).

With both `iter(self.a_list)` or `yield from` you'd have to add a list comprehension in there to process each element, and with no Ruby-like blocks in Python, that limits what one can do.

But they are both definitely good approaches to highlight!

Postmark has way better visibility into what is being sent. You get per-email history/status, so you can easily tell if something is queued or bouncing. Trying to debug errors on Sendgrid is less fun.

On the other hand, postmark is a bit more flaky - I track delivery RTT and had had a few cases in my first year with them where Postmark had > 30m delays (and no outage reported). Sendgrid has always been bombproof on delivery times over many years of usage.

I still prefer Postmark on balance.

Many countries would 'freeze in the dark' if coal was straightlined to zero too early. It is incumbent on the other nations to gift other nations who can not afford zero coal the means to reduce carbon emissions - they will also benefit.
This HAS to be a global drawdown of coal use. This includes creating new chemistry to replace element or spending the $$ to absorb CO2 emissions in making cement at the source.
Cement needs a furnace - change to electric heat. Cement exudes CO2 in manufacture in an electric or any furnace - absorb when made. Cement curing with water in use emits little. Electric furnaces can make steel - costs quite a bit more, but it is doable.
