It’s easy, set up a good firewall on your router, disable constant internet access on a computer with an airgap, don’t update for the sake of updating, remove the LAN cable/WiFi card if you’re really worried.
This reminded me of a cool technology that I've forgotten the name of and can't find again online. It was some sort of wood-burning stove that loaded sticks from the top and would recirculate the smoke until the fuel burned off, then the cooled gasses would naturally flow out of the system. Instead of a chimney that went up, there was a small port on the outside of the building, where smokeless, room-temperature gasses would exit.

The design was dead simple with no fans or anything, just using convection. But because the idea is so new, there are very few of them and no regulation yet. Does anyone remember what these things are called?
Oh! Thanks for the video - wow, that is significantly different from the Ascent! On mine the heating / cooling options are all physical controls as are the buttons for switching between media modes. Yes once you are into things like CarPlay it's all touch screen, but even then there are control buttons from the steering wheel for next track / previous track, volume, invoke siri, etc.
Fascinating. I studied Finnish for three years and it never occurred to me that the numbers 8 and 9 (kahdeksan and yhdeksan) mean 2-from-10 and 1-from-10. Though 10 isn't "deksan", it's "kymmenen". Still the "yh" and "kah" should have been clearly seen as akin to "yksi" and "kaksi" (one and two).
I know that screen capture is impossible on mobile phones. I use Linux and screen capture is definitely possible on linux.

Is screen capture possible on windows/mac?
Whatever you refer is a bad implementation of your car. They not able to supply you with decent update system and maps. I never use a phone in my car, and that's the best thing I experience in the car since 3g start working good during trip. You have good big screen for navigation, you don't need this ugly phone mounts in the car, it doesn't fall-off during turns, you don't need stupid wires. That's a right way to implement it. When car manufacture put a big decent screen with good brightness and willing to pay tiny fraction of the car price to maps API provider. If BMW is not willing to do that in 2021 they are bad manufacture that it.
Even better would be just leave out the entire entertainment unit (except maybe an amplifier and speakers, and have a standardized rectangular hole with mounting brackets.

Even better if you put all the physical buttons for accessories (heat, amplifier volume etc) on a panel fitted into an identical hole.

Replace the pointlessly curved dash with nowhere to mount anything with a standard shape that can be removed with bolts (and without removing all the trim) while you're at it.

Even after having lived in the US for almost 15 years and only speaking English 99% of the time, dictating numbers in two-digit pairs throws me off in English because I'm still traumatized growing up with this problem.
<<It's quicker to update, enhance, patch, redesign, etc. It's just better from a manufacturing perspective, and aside from the tactile loss, allows more options and more data presentation for the consumer in a much smaller space.

So this is my beef with this approach to today's manufacturing. It is never complete and relies on future updates. The final product is never fully delivered.

It started with games, but the demographics skew young and those are not exactly savvy consumers. I lost it when Tesla was allowed to bring this model into cars. Constant updates including ones that affect how the battery you bough operates. Even if you buy the same model, it is not a given that the car will behave the same way ( as more recently evidenced by Model Y and "Phantom Breaking").

And this is the part it don't get. Buying cars is not exactly a cheap affair. It can't be just the case of 'fool and his money', because the trend is being adopted by other manufacturers to an extent so there must be research suggesting people will buy it and anecdotally in my MBA class students were earnestly pitching IoT devices with subscription models for cars along the lines of 'this is about to break'.

I just want something that works. It is a car. It is not a website. It is supposed to a job. You don't need to redesign UI every few weeks just to feel relevant.

GDI, now I really feel old.
This is closer to real life than Conway's algorithm. Biots are able to move freely, have a very simple genome that gives them unique characteristics, and natural selection does the rest. There is a succinct description of the rules at the bottom of the demo page.
I think the poster you are responding to is referring to the “beauty” (sarcastically, I assume) of the phrasing “most less” instead of “least.” It would be right in line with the confusing way numbers are spoken.
Ask HN: How do you get started in B2B consulting?
Hey, curious to know if anyone has advice on how to break into business to business consulting. Is there a marketplace where white papers can get posted or companies post request for proposals?
Nah. Was regulation inadequate to keep up with Enron's level of sociopathy? Sure. Should we have had better regulation? Also yes. Does that in any way excuse Enron's behavior? Not at all, I say.

But let's see if you're sincere in your principles. If I can find a way to get away with murdering you, is that ok? What if I turn a profit doing it by, say, taking all your assets? After all, it's kinda ridiculous how fragile the human body is. I'm practically doing you (and your next of kin) a favor by demonstrating how dangerous it is to have major arteries and veins so exposed. And I could also surface issues with the legal system; we know that the homicide clearance rate is only 55%, [1] so by your logic I'm helping the laws get better by giving lawmakers more data to work with.

I of course wouldn't do this, because I think one shouldn't do harmful things just because one can get away with it. But if you truly believe in this, just post your name and address, and I'm sure some public-spirited person will take you up on your offer of a little bit of for-profit, blame-free murder.

Yeah I was more worried about an attacker getting my bank account details than an attacker compromising a codebase I work on.
Hasnt the website been down for months?
It’s not a personal attack. “Expected value” is a very basic term of art introduced in stats 101.

It’s like having a huge argument about a physics problem claiming “force” isn’t mass times acceleration because nobody is “forcing” you to do anything.

Back to your 0 or 1 example. 0.5 is the meaningful value to know over any kind of large sampling because that is what matters for “expected value”. It tells me what I should expect overall if I play 1000 times.

What you want is called the “mode”. Given a single instance of an event, what is the most frequent value.
This new variant has been called "mild."

Well this happens if you try to show what Germans say in another language ;)

So "halb fuenf" is "half 5".

Same with the "full" for "voll" and for "um" I gave up. No idea how to say that "in English". Or for that matter "4 Uhr 5" for 4:05. "4 o'clock 5" doesn't quite do it, though I guess it's the closest one might come lol!
Signed up and posted a bit :) Very nostalgic! If anyone on HN has fond memories of forums, you should make an account!
Internet porn was also a major driver of secure online payment systems and consumer pressure for higher bandwidth.

Socially, it’s a bit weirder than its precursors as there’s a lot more free stimulation available than pre-internet.

I think the societal risk is less from internet porn and more from the larger fraction of purely on-line interaction, i.e not as much IRL sex and social interactions to keep the porn and reality separated. But people have been railing against porn with varying definitions for centuries. I don’t think the violent gang rape culture in India has anything to do with net porn, guys will be assholes anyway throughout history.
TL;DR: we don't know
You guys are asking a lot of McKinsey. Asking that org to be a moral and ethical part of society is like asking a rake to be a shovel. It doesn’t make any sense to the point of being unfair to the rake.

Head-Up Displays solve this by projecting the essential information on the windshield. So you don't have to move your eyes away from the road at all - and even when you're looking at the HUD data, you still have a view of the road, unlike those displays on the central column where the best you have is some peripheral vision.

Paired with a voice assistant, it could work nicely for the navigation. You say "navigate to $address", and HUD would show you the essential information for your next turn (rough distance, street or exit name, turn lanes).
I suspect if the entry tickets go above a certain point, I think a big round $500 per person, people say "Disney is for rich brats" and that's really hard to undo. Some companies have gone there. I can't think of any that have come back.
Some scattered thoughts on this:

* Don't always immediately updated to the newest version. If it's compromised, give the other users and the vendor time to find the vulnerability.

* Try to rely on software packaged by somebody you trust.

* Reduce potential impact of compromise by using 2FA with something off your dev machine (like authenticator app on your phone).

> What's the bar for reasonable security, in your opinion?

That really depends on your situation.

Do you think somebody might target you, specifically? Has your machine been compromised before? Do you do anything with potentially high leverage for an attacker?

If the answer is "no" to all these, I'd say don't sweat it too much beyond standard "best practices".
Git allows checking out only a limited set of changes with the --depth flag:

git clone --branch v1.0 --depth 1 https://github.com/example/example.git

The parameter is called --branch but it also takes tags.

It's not as fast as fetching a ZIP file, but it gets pretty close.

From my count, this method only requires one dependency (git) whereas the curl + unzip method requires, well, both curl and unzip.

The zip download method (download, decompress, build, compress into package, decompress onto system) is already silly enough, the first decompression part can easily be dropped.
I recently drove a friend's Mercedes and the hard part wasn't the touchscreen but rather the input device. On the center console there were some physical buttons and levers, and on the steering wheel column there were multiple dials. The problem was that what I thought should have been the gear shifter was instead conceptually a "mouse" for navigating the on screen menu options. Thankfully I only needed to drive the car a few miles, as one friend had already given up on driving the car and asked me to take the wheel instead - she was that frustrated by the controls!

Could be that I'd get used to it, but it wasn't a good first experience.
That's so backwards it's just depressing.
It's a little different with video games, since platforms like Steam have changed the face of video game piracy. Gabe Newell himself said that piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem. Steam removed any barrier to publishers to put their game on the platforms and players to buy the games, and game piracy is pretty much dead in the water and Valve is worth billions of dollars.

Whereas the music industry and even worse, the movie industry, still have their heads up their arses and are losing hundreds of billions of dollars if they just provided a single platform where everything is available to stream, everywhere in the world, with no restriction but a single monthly fee.

DRM is a problem, but the need to subscribe to a dozen different services to have access to most, but not all, media, is the biggest issue.

I haven't downloaded a video game since the early 2010s, I have given Valve thousands of dollars since, and I will keep paying for my torrenting VPN for music and movies for the foreseeable future. Long live The Pirate Bay.
The premise of this article is quite funny, the idea that Big Pharma wouldn't care so much about profit optimizing if it weren't for those evil jr. consultants!

It seems McKinsey's chief value proposition of providing executives and governments cover for politically unpopular decisions (both internally or externally)...is in fact accurate.

Amazing how this narrative manages to shift blame off of the government who created these bizarre incentives and the executives who run the damn drug companies and responded to those incentives.

Somehow our joke of a healthcare system is now the fault of 24-year-old powerpoint jockeys and their theatrically fake-analytical powerpoint graphs.
Why the change in HN title? "Proof of stake is a scam and the people promoting it are scammers" is clickbait for sure but it's the author own title and it is the subject of the article.

Can someone explain what a synthesizer is to a non musician? It looks like a keyboard to me. Do the two terms mean something different? Also, in today’s world, do these need to exist in the same form? That is, can’t all these sounds simply be digitally produced rather than relying on circuitry? Why aren’t all new keyboards (or those other things DJs have on stage) simply software, maybe with a custom input device for easier live use?
Good quote. Atheists might be right, but turns out a pretend panopticon has better value than a real one, or none, along every dimension.

From the OP article:

>There is currently no information to suggest that symptoms associated with Omicron are different from those from other variants. Initial reported infections were among university students—younger individuals who tend to have more mild disease—but understanding the level of severity of the Omicron variant will take days to several weeks.
As a former mechanic, and some who has only once brought a car to a dealership for repair; my concern is Reparibility.

My father bought his last new truck in 1998.

The salesman ask my father about power windows, and other accessories. My father was a Shade Tree mechanic his whole life. He just looked a me, and said, "I hope I never see the day I can't roll down a window, and those motors are just another thing to fix."

I was comfortable with the computer controlling the truck. I knew they had federal standards, and requirements. I also remember an instructor telling us, you will see a lot of mechanics replace the computer. It's not the computer. The failures rate of a vechicle's computer is extremely low. What happens is the mechanics damages the computer by checking it's ohms with the wrong DVOM, or short it out by accident.

My point is about simplicity, and the availability of parts.

I believe the only computers that the federal government demands high standards for are the main computer that you plug your scan tool into, and in many vechicles the sewerage power train computer.

All those dash computers don't have the same quality demands from the government?

I just don't want to see the day where only wealthy people buy vechicles because of maintenance/repair costs.
Yeah I would try increasing protein, you may not have been getting enough for optimal recovery & growth. Besides protein shakes, non-fat greek yogurt and egg-whites are almost pure protein sources that are easy to add in.
I think the issue here is with the conception of "evil". The one shown in most media is incredibly flawed, and it is why the best villians are the ones that can actually argue their point, make you understand where they are coming from, and potentially even come to their side. People are not evil, they are simply acting as all humans do most of the time: in self preservation of some form. What makes a person appear "evil" is simply the situations they have ended up in and the accompanying beliefs and knowledge.

> but if kindly confronted with undeniable evidence of their harms they would immediately rationalize their actions with bullshit, and get as far from you as possible.

This is not meant to excuse that response, but I do want to point out that it is the rational and "easy" path of response. When people make ideas the core of their personality and survival, threats to those ideas are now personal threats. The path of coming to challenge and change those ideas is a hard road in most cases. It takes a very strong and brave person to change their mind on a core belief.

The better way IMO to approach it is to ensure people don't get caught in the position in the first place. Don't make beliefs the center of yourself, make values the center, and choose them carefully and with nuance. It allows you to change course on beliefs or ideas with much less pain and personal internal sacrifice. That needs to start early though, way before anyone at that table sat down for their meal. It's an education issue, an early one at that.
How long to test it for safe human use, though?
The asinine argument at the heart of that rant is that we should format our code so it's more greppable. Let's not consider making a better/semantic grep that can match code. Let's all instead insert strategic line breaks in our code so that the current grep sort of works on it.
I cannot emphasize it enough - CA is a special place designed for rich people. You don't come here to settle down, you come here to strike gold or die trying. The outdoors is fabulous too though you'll probably change your mind on CA summers after a few years.

Unless you are smart enough to pass FAANG interviews (or better yet, live through an IPO) you should keep in mind that people like you are supposed to leave once they get older and want to have a life. Which likely includes a family. Basically, the SFBA is for people who can buy a house for cash.
I'm not claiming they're the only one accepted. But if you say DocuSign, the judge will already be familiar with it. If you say anything else, they might not.

And this is not just about one jurisdiction, but also other ones, where e-signature laws may be different.
I agree. I’m waiting on a Boox Lumi at the moment. I read PDFs on my reMarkable primarily because other formats, specifically e-pub, aren’t that great on it. As strictly a PDF reader the reMarkable is good (albeit overpriced for just reading PDFs.)

The nice thing about android is that you can also get a kindle app. I know the parent is looking specifically for PDF support, but it’s nice to have solid kindle, PDF, and e-pub support on a single device.
Ah, capitalism! The company makes surplus profits that can be extracted by shareholders (and executives and employees, although these get labelled as expenses, not profits) if it is able to sell goods or services at a price point much higher than the cost of producing the service.

The cost of keeping the machine running is an operational expense. There is supply and demand in the labour market. If the team keeping the machine running generates $100m of profits for the company and costs $5m in compensation, but it is possible to hire a similar team at market rates to do a comparable job for $5m , then it doesn't make much sense to pay the team more than $5m. The excess value of $95 m generated by the team's activities can be captured as profit.

It's also important not to neglect the contributions of other roles. The machine is only able to produce revenue because it is matched with customers who are a good fit for the service the machine delivers and are willing to pay for it. If there are no customers then the machine and the engineering team that support it produce no revenue. So arguably the sales team that is able to identify potential customers and help them understand if renting access to the machine could help them also provide a large amount of value to the company.

If you take the same high performing engineering team that builds and operates a valuable service in one company, and drop them into a different business context where there are simply much fewer paying customers, or the sales team isn't able to deliver, then the value the engineering team are able to generate in the new situation may be zero or negative. Maybe most of the value generated by the service isn't due to the team who built and maintain it, but the surrounding business context. Leverage is a big thing. The highest paying roles are often in situations with more leverage (in huge orgs or huge projects), not because the work is necessary more skilled or harder than work in other smaller scale situations.

If some of the salespeople and engineers believe they are getting paid disproportionately little compared to the value they create, they could consider banding together and starting their own venture where they would be the owners, not the employees. Much easier said than done, and much easier to stomach if starting in a situation where they have the financial safety net and career connections so they'll be okay if the business fails.
Rényi was the one who stated that.

According to Wikipedia, he was a colleague of Erdős, and Erdős was known for his coffee habit and later amphetamine use.

The “spent breath” of the occupants of poorly ventilated homes contributed to 40% of the deaths in the country, he claimed, and often said “man’s own breath is his greatest enemy.” He would spend decades promoting the cause, designing ventilation schemes for buildings, penning a 1869 book, Leeds on Ventilation, and lecturing across the country. He explained his ideas with the aid of a “magic lantern” projector — think old-timey Powerpoint presentations. He’d show slides of a family in their drawing room, then add a slide showing red air coming out of the father’s mouth. The child crawling on the floor would eventually fall over. It “scared people to death,” Holohan says.
