Simon’s a lovely guy. Met him a few times, he was often around in the local Geek pub[0] back before I moved out of Cambridge.

[0] Same pub as frequented by the guy who proved Magic The Gathering is Turing complete, because Cambridge is tiny.
not a lawyer, but it looks like the issue is the bill asserts that companies who hire companies who subsequent to vetting use forced labor are then faulted for something that changed after the fact.

i think the assertion is a company like Apple or Dell etc has to repeatedly reverify that a contract manufacturer is still acting like they said they would.
Yeah, although wrongly. The "may" there is a bit of a weasel word. Literally, it only indicates possibility, but lay-people read "may" as indicating probability. To a nerd, whether something is technically possible is interesting, but what ordinary folks want to know is whether Riot is likely to be acting against their interests (i.e. selling location or activity information to third parties, vs. simply conducting whatever monitoring they deem necessary to ensure cheats are not being deployed).
You're arguing for higher standards for teachers, which would naturally increase the market rate compensation. I don't think thats whats happening.

We can have a discussion about increasing the minimum training for teachers to be additional years + a PhD. I'm sure this would naturally increase the quality of teaching and also increase the market rate for teachers since there are less people who are qualified.

We can also discuss raising salaries if the school simply cannot find enough teachers.

It doesn't make as much sense to say we should simply increase the pay of teachers if there is a huge backlog of qualified applicants.

I believe SF is having a teacher shortage, so for that reason, it makes sense to increase teacher pay. But I think too often people make moralistic arguments for government pay but free market arguments for everyone else.
Timeline of Leonardo Da Vinci's Life
Could be a rumor but I recall reading a story that claimed Valve monitors their user's DNS connections looking for known cheat host.
Now when you say want to play the game, do you mean getting instantly killed on spawn by cheaters?

More specifically, given that you want the game to be playable without anti-cheat, do you imagine that the cheaters will just agree not to cheat?

I think it's pretty clear that the choice in popular games is between a strong anti-cheat vs a strong cheat. For some types of games a lot can be enforced by the server (think chess), but for other types of games it is just inevitable that there is an arms race at the point of input. Nevermind rootkits, soon enough we'll have mandatory webcams monitoring that you're actually physically moving your mouse in a way that matches the signal coming out of your mouse.

Define "useful" here. Lot's of people with useful education struggle with paying off their debt. There is something pretty crooked in such attitude.
Here's a practical reason if moral reasons don't work for you.

If calling them at 2 am for some reason doesn't get the business result you want, and you have to go to court, the court'll ask you what reasonable steps you've already tried to resolve amicably, and the judge will think you're in the wrong when your opponent brings out a log of your 2 am calls to their residential address. Suddenly it'll look like they were just doing legitimate business and you were threatening and harassing.

Even if you aren't a moral person, it pays to do things properly.

As another commenter pointed out, Lead-Acid batteries are terrible for this. They are fine for backup power supplies that you don't expect to actually use more than a couple of times a year, but discharging them too much will completely kill them, and even if you keep a margin and discharge them to only 30%, the number of cycles is quite limited (1500 to 3000 cycles quoted in [1] seems a bit optimistic, probably depends on the specific battery).

Lithium-based batteries such as LFP are becoming very affordable [2] and can handle much more cycles. They can also handle more current variation and are more efficient.

Very interesting! Yale doesn't have a Congressional or state representative (directly, anyway) but take a look at this map [0] and zoom in on Ward 1, in the center. That is pretty much all Yale territory.

Two blocks (Chapel to Elm, Church to College) are taken up by the New Haven Green, which isn't residential (though many homeless residents do live at/near it). From College through Park Street, as well as between Elm and Wall Streets are Yale dorms and academic buildings. Chapel to Crown are primarily restaurants, clubs, and a bit of shopping with some expensive apartments above them.

People who live there are extremely likely to be Yale-affiliated in some way.

2020 election results [1] show that there are 728 people who are eligible to vote in that ward, of which 173 or 23.76% did. They get one of 30 representatives on the Board of Alders. Another thing about New Haven is that nearly all of the Board is people who relate to Yale in some way, including members of unions.

I understand that this probably isn't popular opinion, but I believe we need hackers/exploiters in games, and we need recognized communities for them in those games.

People cheat in games for almost an endless amount of reasons. But many times, I've seen that it usually comes down to wanting to 'be the best' or just a general interest in understanding how things work. Creating a 'safe space' for people to cheat in games becomes a net plus for everyone because it keeps a lot of the non-malicious cheaters out of legitimate player's games. It also helps developers understand where some flaws are in their systems that they wouldn't ordinarily catch because they'll end up with communities openly discussing their latest exploits, or specific servers where they can look to see what bugs or hacks people are coming up with now. It also means the people who are cheating so they can 'be the best' will get bored of it very fast once they finally have everything and move to the next game. A cheater that's in a designated server is someone that is not interrupting a legitimate game.

There will, of course, always be malicious hackers and trolls that won't want to stick to designated servers or openly discuss exploits so they don't get patched. But this is going to happen regardless of whether or not there's a recognized community, and it doesn't make sense to punish everyone because of this. Popular cheating communities also tend to be self-enforcing. It's not uncommon for people to get blacklisted from these groups or reported in games by other cheaters if they cross a line(ie. Caught cheating in non-designated servers, DOSing servers, etc..).

Disclaimer: I was an admin and regular on a couple popular cheating/exploit communities over 15 years ago at this point. It was my first introduction to how computers actually work but also should put in perspective how this is a never-ending battle
It's not a rootkit, it's a kernel-level driver. The same goes for any other driver that can be installed via just UAC - for example, Corsair installs their kernel driver[0] and cpu-z as well[1].

Defund, abolish, hyperbole.
I can't bring myself to install their client with these practices in place. Even if I trust Riot not to abuse their root privilege, how long will it take before their anti cheat service running on my machine is hijacked by a third party? I'd love to play their games again, but it's way more risk than I'm willing to take.
For hobby/experiment use decomissioned panels from upgaded farms, sometimes you can get two years old panels that were swapped for more efficient ones for a fraction of the original price.

For setup with batteries there is (depending slightly on local electricy cost) no long time break-even - the battery deprecation due to discharge cycle costs more than electricity from the utility.

It depends, but most consumer AV's upload. And alot of EDR's are implimenting cloud based detections, with the option for companies with IP risks to run an on prem version of their cloud server.

A good example is this hackernews post from not long ago detailing how Windows Defender uploaded a beacon he made from a VM with no internet access (But connected to a LAN with his main computer) and exfiltrated it from there to Redmond and ran it, most likely in some automated scanner. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21180019
If you are a professional gamer then of course you’re going to hate cheats. It’s no different to professional athletes hating peers who take performance enhancing drugs.

If your money and reputation comes from you being good at something, you’re going to dislike people who cheat.

Edit (for clarity): the more senior you are in a sport, the more likely you are to support invasive countermeasures compared to hobbyists.

Not weighting your investments towards bonds as you get closer to retirement is solely on the individual.

Realizing losses on money you don't need for 20 years is an incredible stupid thing to do. The instruction here is almost always correct.
Why would you take anyone seriously where the first thing to come out their mouth is a lie?

I think I bumped into Simon through a bunch of other Cambridge people I chanced onto via Dreamwidth/Livejournal. I wouldn't say we were even slightly close, but if I was living closer to Cambridge and there wasn't a pandemic he's definitely amongst the people I'd be delighted to say hi to in person.
Just read this relevant and interesting article on "Scaling Tacit Knowledge": https://nintil.com/scaling-tacit-knowledge
The ad industry used to target ads by aiming at a publication’s audience or subscriber base. The publication would conduct surveys or do Nielsen rating type measures to get a sense who their audience was.

When publications online went from trying to build an audience to trying to drive traffic we ended up with the situation we have now. They don’t have audiences anymore, they have atomized bits of content without much in the way of editorial voice or culture to tie it together. They care not one whit about making their site a destination, just trying to chum the waters for whatever will bring in a catch of fresh eyeballs.
If you look at what's happened to certain games without anti-cheat you can actually answer that question! It turns out that it mostly devolves into a bunch of AIs playing against each other with the actual humans just passively watching. Perhaps exciting to see your aim bot beat the others, but overall not much of an interactive experience anyone
Default in the article is defined a few different ways (and they also talk about delinquency and loans in forebearance) but roughly corresponds to a year or so of missed payments.
I don’t think anyone is suggesting Riot would do anything underhanded.

Ironically, the idea that only Riot will ever be able to leverage the capabilities of this software service is probably why many don’t mind running it.

Unfortunately, that idea is flawed for the much the same reason the idea of backdooring encryption algorithms is flawed.

As noted by another comment, that just isn’t realistic or how society or workplaces work in general.

There is a large power imbalance (real or imagined) in a workplace. Employers can, have, and will continue to fire employees (or push them out illegally where it isn’t legal) for such offenses as being sick at times that are inconvenient for the boss, or having family issues (or trying to have a realistic balance of family life - aka not just work 24/7), or just not LOOKING like they are working hard, regardless of actual impact or output. Or, not having the right ‘vibe’.

If someone is dependent on the employer for their income, it behooves them to fit in - at least until they can find something better, which also takes time and energy.

And when problems are overwhelming or don’t have actual solutions someone can apply (due to lack of support, resources, or knowledge they possess), and you’ll get fired for showing any sign of a problem? What else is someone supposed to do?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s ok - ideally someone would be able to respectfully and responsibly address all issues and work through to solutions. But that is hard and only a small portion of people can do that for everything.

Those people tend to eventually end up in high positions, until the degree of stress and problems they get puts them at an equilibrium point with their ability to ‘deal’. Meaning they can’t go higher (or they pawn the problems off on someone else, meaning they have less directly on their plate).

Also, some folks resort to drugs, prescription, or self-medicating. We’re surrounded by it - everything from megadoses of ibuprofen every day to deal with severe muscle pain, to anti-psychotics and anti-depressants at ever more increasing percentage of the population. Some of this may be due to a mid-fit of society and what makes us happy, some may be other things. But who knows.
You mean only a list of members? Or there's data and varying permissions?

I'd say that coding something custom is likely to be a big ongoing burden unless it's really simple.
How so? It is a bisection of the space of possibilities. It is irrelevant for the logic that you could pick another measure.
In the days of ‘aim sporadically improved by a slight percentage’ style cheats, I wouldn’t be so sure.

I played on an active Battlefield server with a community constantly ripping itself apart with cheating allegations. This even extended towards well established supporters who donated significant money to the server operation and graphics cards to other players.

Then they’d demand videos and then videos showing mouse movement and pore over them for hours. I know someone who absolutely didn’t cheat (and wasn’t particularly exceptional at playing) but whose movements in game were subject to hours of scrutiny and suspicion.

Yikes! And me here in Palo Alto, in the middle of the silicon Valley, cannot get any fiber because of AT&T.
I've always thought there should be better filters on here, for example I don't think answers with many up and down votes should be censored but I think there should be a filter for that if you don't want it. i.e. dead posts shouldn't be quite as extremely dead as they currently are.

To be fair the corollary is that you already know what you are getting from this place so probably sticking to purer tech topics on a tech accelerator's forum is fair enough. Interesting the these things overlap of course as I suspect will become ever more common.
First time I’m hearing about this. Checked my mail and nothing. Nothing on Twitter even on Kenneth’s profile.

That seems to be backwards, as that means I am charging to be able to put in time and effort to make the content that the learners use, which generates the product that you are selling. This just doesn't seem to make sense.
I bought a small wastebasket years ago that was the perfect shape, size, material, and finish. Lots of people agreed and it had really high ratings. Recently I wanted to find the official size to buy tighter fitting bags, maybe buy another wastebasket, only to find the listing now shows a meat slicer from a different company, with all the obvious trash can reviews still in place.
The system also has many controls to montior driver attentivness and alert or disable itself if the driver is not attentive.

Sorry, but they same system lets the driver play video games while driving down the road[1] which is kinda the opposite of what you claim.

My eReader is the only tablet I own; the big plus of it for me is that it gets about a week of battery per charge, so I don't have an extra device to remember to charge every night, put back in my backpack, etc.

You don’t even need special hardware. The hacker will use a bootkit to load driver to read and write memory. Vanguard is trivial to bypass.
The idea is great - but the measure implemented to do that will inevitably fall flat and create the wrong incentives.

It will be a system that has to work across the board everywhere and easy to administer. So no looking intelligently at the individual cases, instead there will be some numeric targets - and as usual the "searching under the lantern" a.k.a. streetlight effect appears, meaning the system will measure what can be measured instead of what would be needed (which likely cannot even be measured).

Next, a lot of intelligent and at the beginning motivated people will be measured by an unfeeling bureaucracy against insane targets. The system will also fail to do what it is supposed to do and remove the "bad" teachers. Case in point: Measuring all kinds of "performance" has already been happening in education for a long time. What did it achieve apart from increasing frustration? Are teachers in the US doing "free form", whatever they like, right now? They already follow strict protocol.

The link is kind of random, soooo many articles have been written about this in a lot of countries all facing similar issues, so I don't really think I can find some "definitive" source to link to.

Also be sure to work the peanut butter into the inside of the curl of the plate. That'll set the trap off when they try to get that last bit out.

I didn't realize it at first, but the snap traps are diabolical in that if they go off when the mouse is licking there, the wire will catch them on the back of the neck, crushing it, which will kill the mice quickly and humanely.

I don't want to kill them. Once, there was one running across the counter. Quick action with an inverted glass caught the little bugger. I slide a card under the glass so I could pick it up, took it outside, and let him go a hundred yards away.
The right way to think about the kinds of discussions you want to have is that they come at a cost. As you note in your own title: they're flamewar-inducing. HN is open-access and pseudonymous; there's no way to bar participation in threads to only those people who will follow the site guidelines. So, to host them, HN has to expend energy, both from the community and from moderators.

It's for that reason that hot-button political topics generally have to earn their place, by being more-than-usually interesting not just to people who love to debate politics (hey, it me!) but also to people who are on HN to gratify their curiosity more generally. Most hot-button topics can't pay their way this way, and get flagged off the site.
Proportionally speaking that would put teachers in Todd County South Dakota where the median home value in 2020 was $26,900[1] at an annual salary of $3,842.

If the argument is that teacher salaries should be a linear function of average home values and that a $1M/yr salary doesn't make sense and a $3.8k/yr salary doesn't either, I'm not sure where you want to go from there.

I'd look for solar panels intended for camping.

Probably eBay or Amazon is the easiest place to look for cheap gear. Hobbyist electronic stores might be a good source too depending on the country (here in Australia Jaycar has some fairly good value panels and PWM solar charge controllers).
Yah, I was horrified at that. Never used glue traps again.
Calling people easily offended and saying they’re strangling discourse is not an effective way of starting a conversation. I’m very curious what your threshold for baiting is given there’s absolutely no substance to the GP’s post.
Depends on how you practice it.

XP practices, in my experience, do lead to high technical quality.

High stakeholder interaction and feedback tends to lead to improved fitness-for-purpose.

Many teams professing to be “Agile” don’t do either of these things.

Usually I don't accept cookies. Sometimes it's not that hard, but sometimes you would need to click through like hundreds(!) of checkboxes, so you don't want the cookie from them, which is ridiculous.

I would accept only one cookie, that I don't want to accept any other cookie, but surprisingly usually they don't store this information. :(
Navigation using an address also works without cellular otherwise Garmin and TomTom devices wouldn’t exist.

I think an address is much easier to understand for a child.

Using an uncommon for most people method of location identifier brings problems of its own. Sure Lat/Long is familiar to us, but I’d guess the average person is unfamiliar.

Like I said, I like the idea but it doesn’t come without its own problems and addresses aren’t as useless in this scenario as implied.
I definitely am in favor of changing laws around making it easier to build & develop new-housing.
