The proliferation of street thuggery and the modern ' * hero' movies work hand in hand to normalise this behavior - actions on screen that would harm/kill in real life are thus entering the daily social interactions in the teen/preteen milieu = guns/knives widely carried. In my youth all weapons in street conflicts were not employed = a form of self limiting interaction.
Now knives/sticks/guns are commonly carried.
Millimeter radar can easily detect metallic objects of small size, and if allowed, might easily alert police to them. They will not detect fiberglass knives, as a few prison systems found when they found a number of undetectable shivs made in the prison shop this way. These knives were not good for whittling, but were good as a prison shiv. Knowledge of this is widespread in prisons and a there are a wide array of contraband items not allowed in visitors hands. This list grows daily.
I was a prison volunteer a few years ago, and was involved in counselling inmates, escorting them on public visits etc. There is a violence/weapon based pecking order in prisons and those with zero weapons=most pecked. Of course, we tell them most pecked = first out, as those caught with/using weapons = last out.
We had photo/video of all this stuff to educate the volunteers/guards what to look for. So when I see a super hero movie, it makes me think of life in a prison on screen...
I would bet it would have worked the exact same way. Compaq's success was the BIOS and Microsoft's willingness to license DOS, and those wouldn't have been changed with the 68008. Given IBM's want for the 48 pin package, Compaq might have had a more interesting machine with the full 68000.
Yeah, that can be a problem, I used to put a Created and an Updated date, but now I just have a Last updated date.

The results are interesting. It seems like there is a lot of clustering going on in the regression data. It could be worth investigating if instead of a linear relationship between sleep quality and consistency with academic performance, there is a logarithmic (or some other superlinear) relationship instead. This would help confirm the intuitive notion that there are diminishing returns to optimising one's sleep.

I've only got 1 year of calendar entries on the official Google Calendar app on an up-to-date Android 12 phone. A quick search suggests the mobile app only stores 1 year but allows searching of 2 years[0], but the desktop/browser one longer, so that must have been where I got the 2 years from. Unfortunately I'm out on my mobile now so won't be able to confirm desktop/browser until later.

You can use TPM on Intel PC for SSH as well. Seems a little bit hacky, but it should work.
Is there a need to be condescending about his beliefs, especially when what we're hearing of them is based on conjecture?
Yes. And academia is made up of fellow researchers. We are putting the blame on a private company putting a price on a product that researchers will still continue to pay.

The hate should be against other fellow researchers and hiring/grant/tenure committees. They cannot judge the work of a researcher without counting the number of Nature papers they have in their CV.

I can guarantee you that if these committees did not care about the number of Nature papers a researcher has, nobody would pay that price or even go through the brutal review process of publishing in the top journals (or in CompSci: the top conferences).
HN with an RSS reader is the way to go. No need to compulsively check and you can skim through things quickly.
Yes. No matter what the treatment might be, someone always has to be the first human it's tried on.

Even if we did have good digital simulations, someone would still have to be the first human to get it "for real". That's just the nature of things. Someone has to be the first patient of a new heart surgeon. Someone has to be the first person to hire a newly-minted PE to design a bridge that might fail and kill thousands. And so on.

We mitigate these risks to the best of our ability by ensuring rigorous training of doctors and PEs, and stuff like animal testing and computer simulations, but someone still has to be first.

It sounds like this patient was well aware of the risks, and opted to get the procedure since otherwise his death would be a certainty.
I was not referring to this article specifically but yes i was referring to those infamous stats. Before Macron, we had a casual rhythm of ~1 police murder/month. Under Macron they started raising, until we hit over ~2 police murders/month last year, as you pointed out.

If talking about secret services murdering people, the Rainbow Warrior would be a good example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_Warrior

And about police torturing people, i've been lucky enough to be only mildly hurt by police who beat me down on more than one occasion, but i know first-hand people who were tortured by police. These situations are well-documented by copwatchers. One case made news worldwide two years ago but is a good symptom of the wider problem: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/26/paris-police-f...

I remember when Starbucks first arrived in Australia there were several articles talking about exactly this topic. Because cheap espresso coffee is ubiquitous in Australia, Starbucks doesn't provide the same value-add that it did in the US where most coffee was weak drip coffee to begin with. I think it took years of careful marketing till Starbucks was able to "train" Australians to pay double for their mixed drinks than what they used to pay for regular espresso coffees. I suspect nowadays people don't really see Starbucks as a coffee, but as its own exclusive flavored hot drink that operates more as a status symbol.

The Life of an Optimization Barrier
When has it not?
> Not at all. People need much more that wheat and widgets.

OK, let's expand. People need food, water, clothes, shelter, health care, education, entertainment and widgets. I see 4 economic categories.

- food, water, clothes, widgets: these are cheap and abundant in both the developed part of the 22nd century world, and in the 24th. That anybody is short of any of these is completely a political choice. They are abundant, but still limited. In both the 22nd and 24th century their abundance is constrained by the cost of energy.

- health care, education: constrained by Baumol's cost "disease", these will be more expensive in the 24th than they are now.

- shelter: we have more shelter in the US than we need, but it's in the wrong places, so it's incredibly expensive. It could be abundant -- a widget factory could cheaply build prefab homes to place in the middle of nowhere, so the extreme scarcity is almost entirely social & political. I hope that the 24th has solved this problem, but the basic conditions for our problem will be unchanged in the 24th.

- entertainment: in so far as this is mostly TV, movies, books, video games and holodeck programs that can be copied at will, these are truly unlimited non-scarce goods.
It's not about the ALPN protocol it's about the Baseline Requirements. Unless I'm gravely mistaken it certainly isn't the intention that you're allowed to accept tls-alpn-01 validation from some random service on say, port 8080 or 6697 as suitable for the purpose of validating control over a name for the Web PKI and I'd be grateful if you know of a public CA offering this that you'd say which ones and how you're aware of that.

That's why I listed three other ports, 80, 25 and 22. Those three are Authorized in the BRs for the purpose of validation because it does indeed seem unlikely that I can spin up a server on those ports if I do not control the machine they're answering for. Let's Encrypt does not use them for tls-alpn-01, and certainly doing so for ports 80 or 22 would seem really weird, but the rules aren't intended to prohibit it.

It's a little worse than that, because a cult only destroys your life. These Silicon Valley corporations are destroying Earth as we know it (climate change, etc).

Another way to look at it is that maybe it's because of economic development per se? Inflation adjusted incomes look fine but real per capita incomes has grown since 1919 by about 7x. So the social-ranking equivalent of their salary wasn't $50K but about $350K, they were in ~top 5%, and maid's salary "social" equivalent was about on the level of today's minimum wage. It is quite fitting that top 5% of families can afford maids earning a minimum wage.

In particular case of UK, nominal GDP per capita was 119.05 pounds in 1919 so maid was making 36 pounds = 0.3x of it. Now nominal GDP per capita in US is $70K and it's completely OK if the maid makes $21K, that's even well above minimum wage. Surely one can be hired for the amount.
Nope.

The only reason why the UK NHS is "rapidly falling apart" is the ideology of the Conservative party that's been in power for a decade now. They don't want to have it, but can't say that outright as it would be electoral suicide. So it's the good old Chomskyan Privatisation technique: "defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital." i.e. "everyone who can afford it goes private" is not the market triumph that you might think.

Those people who have gone private, _still_ maintain a NHS GP with access to affordable drugs, etc. It's quite unlike private US healthcare.

> If you wanted to nationalize healthcare in the US, you’re basically talking about adding trillions to an already bloated Federal budget.

Nope.

Where did I say that I wanted to do exactly that to the US? Funny thing to exclude "European insurance-based" systems explicitly now, when explicitly including them earlier.
I observed that there are better models, which there is empirical evidence for (1), nothing beyond that.

Any change to USA healthcare would be about _moving_ money not _adding_, would impact an "already bloated" and grossly poor value-for-money private extractive healthcare system: The USA currently spends more and gets less (1). So "adding" is deceptive, and "bloated" is a emotional-noise word in this context.

It depends on how it's done. If it's just printing the $30 out of thin air and giving it away then probably yeah, but if it's from a better wealth distribution it should have better effects.
Just going to say it. The table on page 6 desperately needed just one extra blank line to pad the row break onto the page break to prevent that hideous mid row page break with the row title split between pages…. All for the lack of a single extra new line.

Other than that, kind of interesting to see the terminology construction for a type of “higher order analysis” I’ve been thinking about lately.
one strange example for me --

AWS has tons of training content they make freely available to their partners and wider community.

In many cases though there are no dates! (youtube shows date of upload but AWS' own training sites lack such markers. We have to guess based on copyright year in the slide footers)

It is clear that they invest heavily in creating new training content. In fact they essentially repeat the same content multiple times in many live tech talks and partnercasts etc. So there is no dearth of new content. It is also well known that they release new features very frequently -- so knowing how recent the content is helps a lot. But they still do this -- seemingly deliberately.

They recently overhauled their whole digital learning portal -- renamed it AWs Skill Builder, built it using the docebo LMS/CMS portal -- changed a lot of things but didnt make any effort to add a published date to any of the courses.

Frustrating.
This comparison is massively oversimplified and misleading.

The most important features are normally not message liveliness or throughput (complex routing can definitely be a defining feature however). This is because both are fairly easy to solve for - especially in absence of other constraints.

Much more important are durability, ordering, partitioning, acknowledgement models, fencing/isolation/failure of both brokers and consumers, etc.

These are all very nuanced things but ultimately determine which systems can be used for which applications.

A lot of people with rush to recommend Kafka but it's actually a rather narrow solution, it's distributed log model is definitely the right way to persist and replicate messages but it's fetch and consumer group APIs are essentially hot garbage for anything except strict streaming or other ordered processing cases.

This would be the major sharp edge of Kafka that people don't understand and end up pidgeon-holed into patching themselves - strict cumulative acknowledgement. This leads to head of line blocking and the only solutions involve tracking acknowledgements yourself either not using consumer groups at all or layering some inefficient solution ontop of it that only updates the offset appropriately and properly skips processed messages when recovering/rebalancing.

An alternative this article misses is Apache Pulsar which is much better suited for the role of "general purpose messaging system" that can just as easily function as a worker queue where ordering isn't important and supports various models of ordered consumption depending on your requirements.

I was also going to suggest LogDevice but it appears it's been abandoned/archived sadly.

Regardless ignore fluff articles like this. Understand the caveats of the Kafka API before going all-in, if your problem fits it's very simple/cost effective solution so it's worth it if the constraints don't bother you and you aren't annoyed by Confluent's stewardship.

Otherwise I would preference Pulsar, it's the more flexible option that you are unlikely to grow out of. Even as you get big it's natively multi-tenant and geo-replicated etc.
Turns out our operating systems aren't operating systems at all, they're just user applications sandboxed far far away from the real hardware. It's frightening to realize just how many extra processors exist on modern computers and how exploitable all this extra code could be.

Apart from privacy concerns like Twitter and Reddit sharing your data with FB (Maybe they share with Google too, not entirely sure), you create a healthier community in a forum than Reddit, Twitter etc.

This would be different if you are in a subreddit for a niche topic, sure. But there are higher chances of creating healthy online interactions in Forums than a subreddit. You meet with regulars more often. Knowledge transfer is better cos you know the skill levels of different people based on your interactions and experiences. This is opposite cos in a subreddit depending on the topic. There is a high amount of irregular folks. This means you have no idea how to rate the interactions than to take them on face value. These are all small but important things that are important when it comes to a community.

Think of forums like your neighborhood. You participate and nurture it. You know most of them and the rate of new people are less than you can catch up with the pace among other things.

PS: These are some of my thoughts, people have different ideas and opinions on forums.
To be honest, it is a bit naive to think people will boycott one of the most prestigious journal in their field for this reason

>> Despite its reputation, I find that Europe is far more provincial than the US when it comes to food

> That might be an external reputation, but it wouldn't be one that Europeans would have. People forget that Europe isn't a country, but a collection of different countries, all with long histories, and long histories means a lot of regional differences even _within_ countries.

yes and no. You can absolutely notice that here in the south of Germany you simply don't get a few things that are from the north, or from the very close-by Austria, and I mean that in a way that you wouldn't believe North California is different than South California. Like.. whole restaurant chains that are virtually unknown on either side of the imaginary barrier, or stuff you can get in a supermarket or bakery. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I can imagine the parent meant - it may just be 500km in the same country and it's completely different.
It was always DNS. Unless you are getting EV the CAs usually verify ownership via email. Email can go anywhere the current MX record in DNS says it goes.
It comes across overly critical. Say something and likely the only response will be in disagreement. Could be a single anecdote. Could be downright misinformation. And now that comment is taken as the main of the conversation.

It is far, far too easy to simply disagree with a comment, effectively add zero actual knowledge, and direct the conversation away from being constructive.

There is a difference between simply having a conversation and being destructive.
How would you clean your anus if you were a cat?

Suppose a cat had fingers, and basic language ability. Would you still feel the same way?

Suppose we didn't slaughter the other five proto-human species (Neanderthals et al). Would you still feel the same way?

The line gets blurrier the more you think it over.
No shit, Sherlock.

But seriously, as a society as a whole, we undervalue sleep. By using an app [1] I've noticed that i sleep less than i thought i did. The thing is, i might be in bed 8,5 hours, but i only fall asleep after an hour or so, and also, i seem to wake up during the night.

No wonder my academic performance is lacking...

When all sellers and customers haggle it creates a zero-sum game where nothing useful is achieved and everybody is wasting their time.

Fun when you do it once, not so fun when is expected every day.

A similar zero-sum game is advertising. Yet, some cultures look down on haggling and embrace advertising with open arms...
Okay, sorry if this is obvious. So FIDO is intended for authentication on the web/cloud only (and requires compatibility from both the website/site and the browser to work).

So this is why when talking about using hardware keys to unlock local stuff, like a PC, or authenticate/decrypt SSH, GPG, bitlocker etc. this all gets so tricky and often needs extra software?

I wonder who takes interest in reverse-engineering these old games.

As a professional programmer, there's so much to learn nowadays that I wonder how they find the time to invest in time-consuming niche projects which don't lead to directly transferable experience. I also assume that the people (like me) who did play these games are older and busy with other things in life?

Anyway, I think this is awesome that people do that, and it's the spirit of HN. I just wish I had the time...
