Cyber Security I would argue falls under a national defense issue, as a foreign power being able to take control of Industrial and Control systems would likely cause the issue to jump to the top of many Americans concerns if their power or water shut off. Generally I agree with you and am critical of a lot of the cirucs around it but, this is one of the areas I would argue the White House as Commander in Chief should actually be involved in.

If I write a complex piece of software that does something even marginally interesting, I'm going to post it to HN with a similar title. After all, I'm sure I can execute it with one line of bash, so the title is appropriate, right?

Care to provide examples? Crimea annexation was almost bloodless, right, but annexation nevertheless - ?
> I now have children who I love with all my heart. I cannot fathom inflicting such suffering upon them - or anyone else, for that matter. I will never be able to entrust them to the care of close family or friends. It's a constant internal struggle when they ask about sleepovers with friends. Such trivial things as "going over to someone's house" trigger immense uncertainty and fear, which I do my best to not burden my children with. I don't know if I will ever truly be able to shed the thick cloak of cynicism - largely a defense mechanism - that has and continues to impede my ability to relate meaningfully to the world and the people around me.

My heart aches because you sound so much like my mother.

What I will say is that as her child, one thing I appreciated so much is that I never had to worry if my parents would believe me if something happened. Your kids will have you always in their corner and that makes such, such, such a difference. So much of my mother's turmoil is related to her mother not believing her + the victim-blaming. You're helping and shielding your kids just by being who you are, even if you don't want to worry them.
I'm not sure what to say about your comparison to Hawaii. Hawaii has been dominated by the US since it was conquered. Xinjiang and Tibet have been dominated by the PRC for a long time. Taiwan has _never_ been controlled by the PRC. To say they are the same is delusional. I'll just leave this topic because you seem to be set on believing this more than really thinking critically about it. Think what you will.

> As far as China and literally almost all of the world are concerned, Taiwan is an island belonging to China. The legitimate Chinese government is the PRC.

Which countries take this stance? For example, the US certainly does not say that Taiwan is PRC territory. There's never been any UN decision saying so either. So I'd be interested to hear what countries you're referring to considering it's apparently "almost all the world".

> It should furthermore be noted that China has experience with temporarily ceded territory they retake after tens if not hundreds of years ( Hong Kong, Liaoning, Manchuria, Qingdao, etc.), so i don't think they see things as "this land hasn't been ours for X time, it's no longer a part of us".

Yeah it's pretty standard for countries to try to legitimize their military imperialism. It's much easier than to admit as a society that you're just a bunch of warmongers opportunistically oppressing weaker peoples. China really isn't any different.

Not ashamed, but forklift driving will be automated sooner than teaching (probably way sooner).
I'd prefer them to run the most lucrative business they can operate and accrue capital.

I think at some point we'll all be screwed by automation (including teachers, developers, baristas and doctors) and too poor people won't have a reason to exist.

Better to get rich and independent from society before we can print human-like workers in a factory.
Your example leaves out a ton of aspects and how the MMO landscape has changed since then. First of all MMOs are not strictly comparable to regular single and multiplayer games.

Back then MMOs were very grindy, that much is correct. However you have to take a moment to think about the reasons for that. One of the main reasons is that in old school MMOs socializing was a very major part of the appeal and made up large portions of your gametime, you were required to cooperate and coordinate with people manually (form groups, guilds, trading etc.).

WoW is a good example, because it was very similar back in 2004, but made many aspects, especially playing alone much easier than e.g. EQ.

So what does it mean when people say that modern day WoW feels more like work than oldschool WoW? The reason is that many many social components are gone from modern day WoW, it now has automatic systems in place for pretty much every aspect of the game, most content is soloable, and the parts where a group is required offer systems to automatically search and find players etc.. In short: basically no manual communication is required in WoW nowadays to see and complete almost basically everything the game has to offer. There is one exception: there are versions of parts of the content that is just harder versions.

What makes modern WoW feel more like work than oldschool MMOs? The reason is that the game design intentionally keeps you locked in a very tight loop, many parts are designed in a way to keep them from being completed too quickly, many parts build on "daily quests" that can be completed exactly once per day/week, but no more than that. There is much more nuance to this, but in short it can easily create the feeling that you have to show up to play certain content you don't enjoy and if you don't you lose progress/time you can't catch up on. Think "oh no I still have to login today to get my daily quests done...", players typically complete missions/quests like that not because they are fun, but because they are working towards a reward.

But since ingame mechanics have killed the need for social cooperations and interactions (this is not strictly a negative thing, and a hard problem to balance) it creates an atmosphere that is a very different flavour of grind than back in the day, which is closer to some kind of work obligation as opposed to a virtual world you go to to adventure and meet with other people.
> Russia has controlled Crimea since the 18th century. It's not an artifact of Soviet Union

So Moscow should be handed back to Ukraine, the late seat of the Kievan Rus' [1]? Or perhaps the whole thing goes to Mongolia.

Originalist interpretations of border disputes are infinitely flexible, and justification for constant warfare.

I had an interview, that was supposed to be C#, but the manager did not know enough about C#, so he had some DB contractors interview me. Obviously all their questions were about how to build and debug a database. When we were at the part where I asked questions, I asked 3 questions, to each they said 'that is not relevant' and did not answer. After the 3rd one, it was clear to me this was not a job for me. When I left I went straight to their HR person and told them to remove me from consideration.
Doesn't seem to produce a valid font file for Windows, for what it's worth.
Agreed. Watch a documentary on game dev during the period. It was very often just a bunch of gamers creating the game they wanted to play.
> The cause for action begins and ends with domestic politics vis-a-vis Putin

Realizing this has been very important in my attempts at understanding Russian behavior. However, even after years of attempting to internalize this knowledge I still have a reactionary response at first... then I remember this.
> Average College grads make more money over their lifetime, period.

So that doesn't mean that if those people hadn't gone to college they wouldn't be making that extra money.

No one is saying that people that go to college are less valuable, what's in question is exactly what is college attendance adding that can't just be created in a less expensive, less elitist and more efficient environment.

Period.

When open-source developers go bad
The manufacturing pipeline is generally pretty long too, and you can stop wafers midflight if you're just going to throw them out anyway. So for instance, if you have some B0 wafers that have enough metal layers that you couldn't easily change them into B1 wafers half way through the process, you might end up with it being cheaper to end up with unusable wafers for plaques and what have you. The fab is generally happy to have the extra capacity even for tail end of the design. There's generally some cheap customers that'll slot in wherever there's gaps.

How is this reconciled with the US not allowing Cuba to receive armaments from the USSR or goods from other countries due to sanctions? Is country A violating country B and C's sovereignty when A imposes sanctions on C preventing free trade between B and C?
> Money just needs to be enough.

That's a moving target though, if your market value changed and you could now easily get +50%, your current comp won't be enough anymore.
There seems to be a “standard palette“ or standard colour-template in use when creating modern video-content.

I mean, when my kids are seeing children's programming on Netflix I can very rarely tell what show they are watching, because they all look alike.

Maybe reusing a good template is a cost-saving/production-optimizing strategy?

I don’t know, but I can tell it’s being done deliberately purely by observing.

i generally end up liking what teleport is doing and what they are all about... i keep meaning to try their opensource stuff out. does teleport's sshd 'listen' on port 22 and does it need an opening in a firewall?

still, having sshd listen on localhost and not a public ip is pretty cool imo. Ken and I did exactly that on a stream one day https://youtu.be/oSlwZcwZcsU if anyone is interested. The one extra step one could do is to convert sshd to only allow connections from localhost by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set the ListenAddress to only 127.0.0.1

Make those bastions dark!
> History goes back farther than the 20th century.

And much farther than 18th century. Crimea has a long and rich history, Russian power is relatively young and not justified in the modern world. Wasn't one of the ideas of Helsinki's agreements to agree on non pursuing historical territorial disputes?

Not really. I worked for France Télécom's Wanadoo ISP division and the Minitel guys tried to sabotage us at every opportunity, including getting the head of our first division CEO Roger Courtois, but they did not manage to slow the progress, even though at the time they had $1B/year in revenues. The bigger hindrance was relatively low PC penetration compared to the UK, Netherlands or Germany.

Fun story: at the time TCP/IP did not ship standard with Windows, so we had to ship CD-ROMs with installers for WinSock, along with a browser (initially Netscape, then IE because it had much better provisioning tools, not because of Microsoft's dirty tricks though they certainly tried). My colleague who was responsible for this was clearly so traumatized he shortly later left the company and joined the Catholic priesthood...
Leap smear is itself an overwhelmingly bigger problem than a leap second.

A leap second is over in a second. With leap smear you are out of sync with the rest of the world for many hours. And, there are at least three different leap smear schemes I know of: a massive judgment failure that happens again and again.

The sensible alternative would be to eliminate leap seconds entirely for a few decades, and maybe stage a leap minute, eventually, or a leap hour in some far-off century, or never. It doesn't matter if the sun is ever exactly overhead at noon, because it isn't anyway, almost everywhere.
I didn't flag it; I stated my criticism, you replied thoughtfully, life goes on, or should have anyway. Sorry that it happened.
Oath Keepers Leader Charged with Seditious Conspiracy
But NATO already has land borders to Russia! In five (more?) countries.

NATO has never made a formal “promise” or agreement not to expand. This is a myth that refuses to die it seems.

But this is beside the point. Ukraine isn’t a member so can hardly be responsible for what NATO does. Nor is it offered membership. And they were invaded preemptively? This whole line of reasoning that NATO has anything to do with the invasion of Ukraine years ago is a fabrication.
This is a nice step.

Now they should allow expressions in addition to just names and apply it to all string literals.

good argument for keeping the washer and dryer in the garage.

However, these fabrics are shedding lint into the air when worked and worn and out too, to some extent, even if not to the rate and with the spray that agitation and hot air give them.

Yes.

I have interacted with a number of the police with regards to homeless individuals that were high or off their meds and endangering others, and the people responded promptly every time to coordinate with EMT/fire on getting them taken to a hospital.

I was almost hit by a truck while walking, and the officers took my report within minutes (though as nobody got the license plate, and I wasn't actually hit, the case went nowhere).

A friend once got a flat on the side of a narrow stretch of freeway and officers set up cones on the freeway until a mechanic replaced her flat so her car wouldn't get hit.

This article and many of the comments here are mistaking color grading for being the culprit, when it is mostly production design. Grading is obviously the post processing of images, but production design is how the colors are organized to be shot.

Within this current fad, production designers have taken color theory and color symmetry to the extreme and bled all of the primary colors out of what is shot on set. Of course there are accent primaries left in, but they have this down to a science right now and it is why everything looks so perfect these days.

Cinematographers even will gloat about capturing "everything in camera, man" and only having only tweaked minor things in post. Roger Deakins supposedly shot the last Bladerunner like this, where there was little to no grading in the organic scenes.

While I think it's definitely better to get stuff in camera from a craft perspective, this obsession with applying the extreme uses of color theory and winnowing everything down to lifelessness is just so, so boring.

In the 90s things were a little more random and films had a range of colors that lacked symmetry. It felt real! But after the whole teal and orange phase of the 2000s (vomit), people took that same kind of reductionist thinking and broadened the palette ever so slightly.

I'm sure it's incredibly anecdotal but college level networking lasted 2 years top for me - and it was all ex-coworkers from there on.
I have fond memories of Minitel. I remember chatting with other kids on forums when I was about 10 years old. It was really the web before the web. The only issue was that it was incredibly expensive (except for a few services). But it was revolutionary in the sense that within a couple of years, almost every family had one and became connected.

Overall, it was a much faster adoption than internet: it wasn't until the smartphone that everybody was online, before that lots of families didn't have the mean or the skills to operate a computer. Not mentioning that Windows was such a mess. My father bought a PC which became so slow that he couldn't even use it anymore.

UCLA is 13k per year, *if* you are from California. Classes are likely impacted (even upper division) so even if a person goes to UCLA just for the last 2.5 - 3 years they could easily owe > 30k

The real cost

- rampant corruption (in california, if they ever opened the books on the non-profit entities it would be a major stunner and awakening for many people). Last I saw there was ~100 non-profits serving ~20 campuses . You can read more https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/auxiliary-organizations/.... But what they don't tell you, those books are private and not shared with the public. Rest assured, they are money laundering machines.

- rent seekers like Pearson and Mcgraw Hill (fun fact, did you know the 2 joined forces to run a company called Follets that runs most campus bookstores (how is that allowed?)

- administration bloat
Minitel was probably subject to substantial government regulation, unlike the "tech" companies that dominate the web and overinfluence the internet. Minitel was probably funded at least in part through taxation.

Certainly, Minitel was not a secretive Silicon Valley-styled company with dual class shares or other entrenching governance structures, that allow for concentration of voting power in the hands of company insiders, through disproportionate allocation of voting rights among shareholders.

It seems the French do not have the same hatred of telecom that Amercians do.

Regardless of the public opinion toward telecom, it has historically been subject to far more regulation than so-called "tech" companies operating websites. Sadly, some of today's telecom companies try to emulate or piggyback on the privacy violating behaviour of "Big Tech".

Centralisation/decentralisation is an interesting debate, but if the issue is privacy then, IMO, one also needs to consider the question of regulation/deregulation.

Perhaps Minitel was an example of a regulated, government-supported public computer networking service that worked very well.

Silicon Valley and its charlatan ideology is a privacy disaster. It is probably a threat to the survival of democratic societies as we know them.
Youtube-DL has been an incredible tool for a very long time. I have never used it for music, but I have used it for countless educational videos that I intended to use while on a subway or a transcontinental flight.

The experience of consuming media via an offline software is just infinitely better for my focus.

I would rather see Youtube die than Youtube-DL. Youtube-DL has a lot of use cases.

I really like this license, but this stuck out to me too. The thresholds are wide apart, and like you say, easy to cross when still "poor".

100 total individuals is huge (you have HR and lawyers), but you can do $1M revenue (imagine it sans profit!) with a team of one or two.

This doesn't allow for YoY inflation. $1M today won't be the same tomorrow. The license should expect to issue new versions frequently to keep up with the economic landscape.

It'd also be nice if authors could customize their thresholds, but I suppose that gets into the complexity of Creative Commons. (Remember that? Where the heck did that disappear to? - you never hear about it anymore.)
