I disagree, in my experience with the recent improvements to Wine, drivers, etc, if you have a bit of Linux knowledge you can get games work just as fine in Windows - with the possible exception of games that use anticheat malware (because frankly, software that relies on kernel-level hacks, etc is basically malware). Though personally i stick with SP games anyway.

Also...

> Like Linus says in that video, when I have time to play video games, I really don't want to pull out a debugger

...Linus is most likely blind to all the issues he may have to get games to work under Windows because he's used to them. I've been playing games on Windows for decades and it was never a plug-and-play experience (...or it was, if you consider the original PnP experience back in the 90s :-P). If games worked perfectly under Windows you wouldn't have sites like pcgamingwiki.

Hell, i remember buying Tomb Raider 2013 back when it was new and having to trace through its registry calls on Windows to get it to work properly because its launcher was broken on my PC at the time. Incidentally that was supposed to be my relaxation time when i went home after work.

(of course i do not expect Linus -or most people- to do the same, they'd most likely just drop it for some other game and wait for a fix - but i had just bought the game and i wanted to play it right then)

In my experience it is rare to have a PC game on Windows play right away without any issues. If anything when it comes to slightly older games on Windows i had to use wrappers like DXVK to get games working properly due to the broken AMD Windows drivers.

At the past i might have written here that if you want a problem-free experience stick with consoles, but judging from videos i see from channels like DigitalFoundry, it seems consoles have a ton of issues nowadays too (it isn't common but i found it amusing that some people seem to jailbreak their Switches to make games work better :-P). And these come with their own issues anyway, personally i wouldn't touch any locked down DRM riddled system anyway.
> The more I think about this, the more it looks like classic short term thinking. Juice ad revenue in the short run. Open the door to complete disruption in the long run…

This is the key insight from the thread. Publicly traded companies get pulled into the short term thinking cycle and this is the inevitable outcome.
For someone selling what is likely by far the most expensive thing they own, they're pretty likely to take the highest price offer (or a near highest price iff that under-bidder is significantly more certain to close [waiving contingencies, etc.])

Linux has absolutely come very far, don't get me wrong!

I'm also mostly a casual gamer, and only have my "dedicated gaming PC" because it's 7 year old hardware I've replaced with a dedicated "workstation" I bought after getting a job and saving some money.

On all my other hardware, I just run Linux, and I pretty much do the same as you -- most of my games work fine on Linux, a surprising number natively!

Linus brought this up in his video as well, that if you don't really care which games you play, you'll be fine. The problem is there are a few games I like playing or like to play with my local friend circle that just don't work well on Linux.

The problems are really stupid, too, and often not the fault of Linux per se. Garbage like Elder Scrolls Online still relying on a TLS cert signed by a CA that's been almost universally revoked, so the launcher will silently hang on linux. Bypassing this relies on either adding the (revoked for security reasons) CAs to your system's trust chain, or man-in-the-middleing the game process to force the updates regardless of the cert problems.

It's not like I really care that much about this specific game, but it's nice to play every now and again with friends. Maybe my long rambly point is, if you primarily use Linux for other reasons and occasionally play games with it, it's awesome. But if you're the average "PC gamer" whose computer is primarily for gaming, Linux will probably disappoint you.
You know that building standards are a thing right? It is literally illegal to build a home with bad insulation for exactly that reason.

You're right the only people who are hurt by this are people who have different preferences or are poor. You are pricing poor people out of being able to heat their homes. Tha'ts not a defence ofyour position.

If your arugment is "this is bad" you're not defending your position, you're admitting your position is wrong, whilst doing it anyway.
I think that's not right for two reasons. One is that legitimacy isn't equivalent to democracy. I think it's more appropriate to define a legitimate authority as one that acts in the interests of its constituency, democracy is just a process for bringing authority into power. There are non-democratic institutions or governments around that are legitimate, and there are democratically empowered governments that are illegitimate. Extreme cases including religious or ethnic populist movements that end up slaughtering substantial parts of the population.

Second reason is, I don't think most non-democratic governments hold power due to application of violence (few exceptions, mostly small). If the people of China decided to march on Beijing tomorrow nothing in the world could stop them, they've done so in the past. The reason they don't is that they see the government as legitimate, even if not democratic. Basically the same way corporations work. Very few are democratic, but they're not really upheld by physical force. The Catholic Church still has non-democratic legitimacy over a billion people. Clearly that's not because of the 500 Swiss Guard members in the Vatican.
FWIW I also got an E-bike in that price range and it began to seriously degrade after a year or so of daily use. It was great for that first year, though. If I were to get another E-bike, I'd move up to the mid-tier price range.
Ask HN: Where do I find the smart security discussions online?
I am trying to understand FIDO / U2F and it's implications.

But I am very dumb and need to walk through things in lots of different directions to understand them.

Anyway, the benefits of having a HSM in a users hand : that should be huge - and it looks to me that it should end the need for SAML and openId auth etc

But I am not 100% sure - and I don't know what to read or who to ask. Google is not helping :-(

I think a big win lies in the ability to avoid the (hacky) redirect at the heart of Federated protocols.

With the FIDO approach we get a simple challenge response - here is a nonce, I know your public key, hash it in some fashion against your public key. Now this response, from the client back to the authenticating server, this response could be held up on camera during the Super bowl half time and it still would be secure. (Edit - Inassumed but did not say that I expect the challenge to be encrypted for my public key.)

So why not ignore the whole SAML dance, and have the relying party site (myshop.com) simply pass through the nonce, grab the hashed response and send it off? Basically what is wrong with MitM instead of federation? I can think of problems (Oracle, initial registration) but SAML etc are such complex piles of administrative failure I wonder if we get a better security trade off with simplicity. Anyway I am probably wrong - but I would like to know.

My big question for HN is not "am I inventing a security system I myself cannot break" but where do I go look to find the discussions that other smarter people have already had on this subject

like I said I am catching up

I only got sites about amusement parks in italy.
> But at what cost? I'd argue that the costs outweigh the benefits. It hinders competition and innovation, makes it hard or impossible for some people and businesses to access the banking system, increases fees on consumers due to the immense cost of compliance (>$180bn a year worldwide), puts innocent people behind bars ("guilty until proven innocent" is the typical standard with AML), is a privacy nightmare, puts police investigative work into the hands of private sector employees, makes operating globally almost impossible, et

Benefit greatly outweigh cost. You can put your credit card details in random website, and it is relatively secure. When someone steals your card, you can get bank refund or do chargeback. For most consumer, making online payment is free of charges. You have sophisticated security, limits, monitoring, fraud detection and when bank is hacked or defaulted your money have government guarantee. My bank would ask me for additional authentication when making bigger payments, and even once blocked a transfer I made because it was a scam.

Meanwhile, in crypto world:

When your exchange is hacked (Mt. Gox) you lose everything. When someone steals your wallet you lose everything. You need to figure perfect personal security or you will get hacked and lose everything. Payments are slow, expensive and nobody protects you against scammers.

> Meanwhile, has it really deterred any crime? How about we just go back to catching criminals the good old fashion, with police investigations, for actual crimes, just like we did pre 1989. Hell, use financial data to inform investigations if needed.

Financial data is provided by banks as part of this regulation. Most of the cash transactions and trades in stock market are reported to multiple organizations that use that data to prevent/fight financial crime. This regulation make hard to create bank account for illegal activities because banks are liable for this[1].

Yes, Pages is, but the only citation manager integrating with it is EndNote, because Apple keeps the API locked down and expects quite the payment and revenue share to open it up.

On the upside, no one with a little bit of academic cred would use Pages.

Some considerations...

Not all insulations are the same. You have to research which type is best given your temperature, humidity, etc. Some require special handling and care... For example, you don't want to breathe fiberglass, or to contaminate your workspace with it.

Good air quality in a work area is a must. You want air free of particulate matter and volatile organic compounds. Opening the window when it's raining is not a viable option. You need some form of ventilation and air filtering. Maybe also air conditioning and heating.

You also don't want to build a structure that is against zoning limitations or that brings you tax liabilities.

> For a bunch of us, living in 3rd world countries, Bitcoin provides more value than Google and Facebook. So I think this is ok. I don’t know why the post has a derogatory connotation.

I've heard this a lot, but I'm skeptical. It strikes me as yet another problem latched onto by Bitcoin enthusiasts so they can claim Bitcoin "solves" something (beyond providing yet another avenue for speculative investment), when the problem in question is much better solved by something else.

For instance: hyperinflation can be addressed by dollarization (either de-jure or de-facto), which is far more practical than bitcoin-ization.

> When a true heroin addict shoots up, is that completely voluntary or completely involuntary? Probably neither.

The heroin addict doesn't get to blame someone else for their choices; it's a bit like jumping from a building - it's not voluntary to be falling (i.e. being subject to gravity). You had a choice to not jump from the building.

The mitigation is to turn the parachute on your back on, so _continuing_ to be falling is voluntary.

So, in the moment, it may not be voluntary - but in the long term, it certainly is. And the _responsibility_, that most certainly lies with the user in this case.

> but that doesn't mean these large companies aren't still doing the sneaky things that we know they are

It's not like they're hiding anything from the user so it's not sneaky at all. The effects of social media are pretty public on the Internet.

And what are they doing, exactly? Responding to HTTP requests over the network and serving content as the user requests them via algorithms.

Not much different than any other addictive thing in life. Sure, you can try to compare the addictiveness, but it's still just a spectrum.
I can just imagine the thought process behind this:

Person 1: "Have you heard the conspiracy nuts saying COVID vaccines implant microchips in your body"

Person 2: "that's just nuts! You'd need a much bigger needle."

Person 1: "I'm way ahead of you. This is really going to mess with their minds."

It's a really interesting idea. I'm not sure COVID vaccine status goes far enough. I like the idea of owning my own medical history but also having it on hand at all times in case of emergency and accessible even if I'm unconscious and unidentified.

Stick it all in a chip and stick it in my arm... Once we can figure out how to protect the data from everyone but me and medical professionals. Maybe put it In the wrist and wear an anti-RFID bracelet?

Or even if the parents don't make the choices for them, they could have not appropriately informed their kid about how bad sugar is.

As a kid, I did have the choice but I didn't have the knowledge. Had I been informed about how harmful sugar is, I would have just chosen to drink water, at least after I turned 5 years old and had a concept of long-term health consequences being linked to some behaviors.
Over a long enough time horizon, everyone who was born "short housing" will die, closing out that short.

Ooh, cool! I'm spoiled by liquidtext, and while this isn't at the same level yet, I'm glad they're headed down this path because liquidtext recently went Scrooge McDuck with the pricing.
This looks really cool, but apparently it relies on a web service to extract pdf metadata:

>* The Retrieve Metadata feature uses a Zotero web service to find item metadata. The Zotero client sends the first few pages of text from the PDF to the web service, which uses a variety of extraction algorithms and known metadata from Crossref, paired with DOI and ISBN lookups, to build a parent item for the PDF. The Zotero lookup service doesn’t require a Zotero account and doesn’t log any data about the content or results of searches.*

Does anyone know of open source alternatives which are offline friendly? I’ve tried tesseract and was impressed but the layout analysis and OCR made enough mistakes that tasks like bibliography parsing became considerably more difficult.

It mentions eating a lot of fruit which I would say is controversial - normally fruit is considered a treat and veg is the main stay.

It also mentions squeezing the oranges to make juice which of course means you get the sugar with a lot less fibrous material which I imagine would cause an insulin spike.

“Obvious and painless” but not inexpensive. If it were trivial to refinance, you’d effectively have a variable rate mortgage where the rates could only go down, not up.
GMU Sued for Zotero (2008)
The overwhelming majority of mortgages in the US are fixed-rate products (at this time of low interest rates). Interest rates can do whatever they want from here and it won't affect the typical existing mortgage. (If they go high enough, a legacy low-rate mortgage becomes even more valuable to continue to hold.)

I’m not an expert, but my impression is that lightning makes this not so much the case - that payments are routed through a web of peer to peer nodes and they only do periodic net settlement on the public blockchains.

> there is now an epidemic of StackOverflow clone sites

I never saw a single StackOverflow clone site in my life.
I must admit although I was never much focused on either Lisp or Forth I tend to do lots of bottom up, no matter in what language. If I know I'll need a certain thing, for example a type to represent some kind of node or whatever, I'll build that thing before I write any code that would need to have that thing available in order to work. By the time I get started on the main task I usually have most or all of the necessary components verified. And I don't see why one should be apologetic about preferring that style.
Specifically with Homekit, a wired Apple TV and good quality home networking equipment with wired access points makes a world of difference. I use Aruba Instant On, but I have had good experiences with Orbi at higher prices and Linksys Velop at the lower end from Costco. Also, if you have a lot of Homekit stuff, it is best to use devices that have their own Zwave or Zigbee or whatever hubs that are then connected via ethernet into your network, to cut down on how much chit chat is flying around on WiFi, especially from cheaper quality homekit devices.

I am overall unimpressed with the consistency of wireless technologies, especially since Apple no longer makes the equipment that provides the backbone (the router/access points). You usually have no idea what quality radios and programming various wireless devices are equipped with, so it is just a crapshoot when dealing with it.
I've got the A7, which I believe is the same thing except it has some sort of ability to enable Alexa control for something or other.

Mine has worked great. The only issues I've seen are (1) the traffic stats don't count IPv6 traffic, and (2) there is something odd that sometimes goes on when a connection ends that can result in packets from the LAN side showing up on the WAN side without the LAN-side IP address being replaced with the WAN-side IP address.

The first is a bit of annoyance, and the second as far as I saw didn't actually cause any problems.
