That was a gish gallup.

I think there is some value in understanding that the CIA is a large enough organization that it does not act with a single mind, nor a single culture. The article attacks the monoculture idea from media well but never matures it.

It unfortunately gets very bogged down in tying the CIA to conspiracies and things the author doesn't care for, in very loose ways that seem more akin to threads on a blackboard than an actual chain of cause and effect.
No, this is not simply a change in the way we use the term. Literally it’s that software itself is used in more fields to do more things in 2022 than it was in 2007.
Wouldn't this be quite regressive?
Everybody who still thinks real-world moral and, hence, political concerns are somehow separable from hacker interests

Please note that I'm making no such claim. I would just prefer to discuss the intersection of "real-world moral and, hence, political concerns" and "hacker interests" either A. less often and/or B. somewhere else.
> there probably was a kid who had no help from their parents, who hacked together a 'are the lights on' circuit, using hand-me-down tech components, who's getting no notice.

I'd have struggled to articulate what annoys me about stories like this, but this absolutely hits the nail on the head. I went to a school in the City of London with very elite investment-banker-parents demographics, and I can't tell you the number of stories like this. One comes to mind where one kid won a contest for designing a stockpicking algorithm, and it turned out - of course - that his mum was a fund manager at Goldman, specialising in that exact same area. I don't know what the point of it is. Is there not more to life than gaming university applications?
you wouldn't be required to perform KT.

in Texas anything attached stays so even lightbulbs but you can also exclude anything explicitly.
In other parts of the world, it was a requirement for every store and venue including supermarkets (e.g. Australia). Even worse, now that contact tracing has largely been discarded, those same governments that pushed out such measures are yet to repeal them.
I'd argue your transactions weren't important enough for you to pay to execute them.
At the same time, the native and WebExtension clients are proprietary and autoupdate by default. Travel Mode can only be accessed by typing your decryption keys into the live website (my.1password.com). An infrastructure compromise would be even worse than a database dump.
The MC knows what the crowd wants to see. If there is some contest, they will make sure the most attractive person wins. This is what the crowd wants, and the losers have no reasonable basis to protest and if they do they'll be (falsely) accused of being poor sports. Most attractive people don't know what's really happening, and assume their win is real.

The thing is, I get it. There's a wholesome excitement around the idea of discovery and you want to do your part and not be a wet blanket. And it's a white lie that is good for society - if not for the ego of the hero. You want there to be a new discovery, that came out of nowhere, because that's the better story. It's the kind of Myth that a good society runs on, and needs, even if it's false, because the real out-of-nowhere discovery stories happen too infrequently to be of use.

The best thing to do, really, is to give the kid a medal, and shut up about it not being real, and hope to high heaven he isn't misled by the easy victory.
You'd need to buy and have transferred a /24 (256) or more of "legacy" IPv4 that was allocated by IANA prior to the RIR system for your region. Then you could either convince your provider to route that block on your behalf or get an ASN and BGP peer at your local IX (or even over a tunnel to one). Getting it transferred to you may require setting up a business depending on your RIR.

All in all you could make the above happen for about the price of a lower end new car in the best case.

There are other ways to get non-legacy IPv4 assignments now but those are leased not owned.
It's almost always the 'biggest B-list actor' who did the murder (on Midsomer and others). And over the years I've learned to recognize these people across shows. Had to argue with my wife that the murder victim in a Jonathan Creek episode we saw the other night was Frank from Vicar Of Dibley. I won :)
I add on KeepassXC, synched to one of my cloud storage in the background with a decently misleading name and in a misleading folder.
Well one thing is the teen in question probably has little to no exposure to a cohort of humans who have fungal pneumonia to test this on.
You seem to have identified a case where there is an obvious effect, but that shouldn't then be used to dismiss the obvious potential for other effects. Anyway that's besides the main thrust of my response, that is, M2 of USA in 2020-2022 is nothing like the 30 year history of Japans M2.
yes, although if you have to login (which i do because my cookies clear on each browser reload), it will still redirect you to the javascript gmail after logging in, even if you came from the html-gmail URL. Really they just need to respect the html-as-default setting. I doubt they even broke it on purpose, it's just that nobody at google cares about it. And of course, trying to report any sort of issue to google is a lost cause. either it affects huge swaths of people and they find out about it themselves, or you're just fucked

What is spacetime really made of?
What does their near death experience of the 1990s have to do with today? Is anyone in leadership from that era even working there now?
Hm, I would use „hä?“ rather to signal that I don‘t understand the content. I may well have understood the words or sentences, though.

On the other hand „huh?“ is meant in the paper rather for signaling that I didn’t understood the form, AFAIU. For that I would rather use „Was?“ or „Hm?“ in a slightly higher voice, like the German instance at point 25. in Figure 1 suggest.

As a sidenote, I wonder if the examples in the paper are acceptable in semi-formal conversations, say when talking to colleagues at work. In German I would rather stick with „Wie bitte?“ to avoid judgements like in the answers under https://german.stackexchange.com/questions/4876/verbreitung-...
I don't think you are giving them enough credit.

Choosing "don't be evil" as a credo deliberately encourages others to view the company through a moral lens. It is an invitation to judge the company according to a higher standard than most businesses would hold themselves to. It makes explicit that the company takes responsibility for the moral implications of what they do instead of pretending to live in an amoral value-free universe like many other corporations do.

I think it was a courageous motto and I'm sad they dropped it.
Lobby3: Bringing the voices of Web3 to Washington DC
Correct. I didn't mean to ever imply otherwise. I'm upset that the DRM exists at all, not with the way they chose to implement it.

If there's enough bylaws that the only building you're allowed to build is in the shape of a SFH with a driveway, that's the only thing that will get built
2019 is _ancient_ in terms of web browsers... What you call churn is actually mostly moving the web platform forward and fixing exploits. There's no way for the modern web to work without the rapidity of development browsers are undergoing.
I agree but there is a self fulfilling aspect to thinking that way.

It is better to believe anything is possible and be wrong than to impose limitations on ourselves.

Most great accomplishments seem impossible at first.
That said, every single kid who I knew growing up who had access to these sorts of opportunities but did something "more interesting" has ended up regretting it in adulthood. This probably isn't true across the board, but among the people I know it definitely is.
Aw, thanks! I was thinking of the review comments where I was unusually aggressive, detailed, and impatient, and, I should add unreasonably so. I think the fact that to you they only seemed thoughtful, detailed, and helpful speaks volumes about your character.
I never considered Mac Laptops as they are not vulnerable to data loss in case of a power outage. How is the situation with Mac Minis which don't have a battery? Are there multiple redundant power input the Mac Mini can switch in-between without tuning of?
I was at a presentation where HERE technologies told us that they went from being on the top ten (or top five) S3 users (by data stored) to getting off of that list. This was seen as a big deal obviously.
Apple could just provide those scanners as an open service, or make something akin to notarizing on macOS universal even if third party app stores are available.

JC did something really cool in doing specials years after the original broadcasts that kind of jump back in with Jonathan and where he is in his life now.

The tech in those is a bit more modern (I think the most recent is in something like 2015)
It seems logical. Sustainability is tied to consumption. Water and non renewable resources would become dearer.

We are going to face a kind of inflationary pressure ..mostly due to supply chain pressures.

I think macro economic outlooks can’t afford to be static. It has to keep evolving with changing circumstances because the world has changed. Our consumption, resources and threshold levels have changed.

Anyways..it was like a thought experiment. It didn’t take long for me to just embrace the notion. Would like to hear other perspectives.
Just to add to that, seem like iPhone's market share is around 23% [0]

And as you mentioned, people decided to buy Apple's phones, either despite the App Store, or maybe because of it. Although I don't like not being able to sideload apps (although I had only 1 on Android), and how they are way too prudish (it's annoying you can't configure reddit/imgur on the app to show NSFW content), I surely don't miss how the Play Store is overriden with crappy and VERY dubious stuff. Also don't miss having the Galaxy Store without being able to get rid of it.

So yeah, each person makes their choices regarding their devices, and at least for now, I'm going to stick with iPhone, since it has more pros and less cons according to my tastes.

Classic Blunders:

1. Never get involved in a land war in Asia

2. Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line

3. Never communicate through the filesystem
I will tell you a good reason to trust password managers. I know a lawyer who does estate planning. When you start talking about "what happens when I die", passwords are a class of problem that has only gotten worse in the last 2 decades. There are legal ways for estate executors to request passwords, but it is a pain, and can be time consuming. She tends to recommend password managers because they tend to be more consistent than written down passwords in a safe. Further, having a password manager, where someone can be designated as a trustee makes executing a will considerably easier.

Now, none of the above necessarily makes password managers safe. The increasing legal scrutiny that password manager providers face, means that they will tend to be relatively safe, but they're still a single point of failure. At some point you need to decide what trust level you want though, security is a lot about tradeoffs, and ease of access is always at odds with keeping things safe.
Interestingly, those are all very good points, all of which are being covered ...in the video.
You entered the conversation to dispute my assertion that it’s mostly luck and you landed in a place where you are unable to identify a relevant element that isn’t luck.

Maybe you should reflect a bit here. I engaged with you in good faith and you end the conversation by essentially attacking my ego because your point fell apart.
"Attractive"? Do you mean this in some kind of figurative sense? If not, then I'm really not at all sure that that's how science fairs are decided.
> how many people with the unmarketable degrees work in completely different fields, and would be much better off studying in that field from the beginning

There is no majors for people who get into high-paying jobs like "Sales" or "Real Estate Broker". I also know the most successful people in those industries tend to have college degrees. People with those interests can use their college experience to make themselves more well-rounded humans. They can build their networks and improve future earning potential. They can focus on other disciplines (writing, marketing, pre-law, etc.) to make them more successful in their chosen career.

> how much more money certain majors make.

It sounds like you were surprised when you saw your initial example of a "dumb choice" major, Gender Studies, had an average wage over $80k; which is more than double the national median. Your second example International Relations, has an average wage of $97k [2].

Maybe it is your frame of reference that needs change rather than other people's major choices.

Lobby3 Sounds Like A Bad Idea
That would mean the parent does not understand how a TPM operates. Several other commentors have provided good explanations to correct that fault.
Like most of the posters here, I trust my local password manager (keepass) for the most part (well, if my personal machine is compromised to the point where I don't trust programs running on it, I guess I'm truly boned).

I have recently started putting some low-value (social media) passwords in the firefox password store, just for autofill convenience. Does anyone know if there are some massive landmines to this sort of thing?
Nice BUT. The actual frequency/clock rate of a system is NOT defined by the transistor Ft value - it defined by the parasitics of the circuit it's placed into. If you build an IC with something like this, the claimed Ft does NOT define or allow the building of something far beyond the frequency or clock of what we have now. That is the fundamental flaw of both the PR by groups announcing such things and of non-EEs reading about them.
I'm not an expert by any means but there's a clip in another comment I made about some of Houston's zoning stuff, I'm curious what you think.

And also if you ever need to access anything on-the-go, you either can't or have to keep the notebook with you and make it susceptible to the things you mentioned + theft or snooping.
Yes, the buttons and links here are horribly tiny on mobile.

I don't know the stats, but I could imagine that HN is used by quite some mobile users, so an UX update would be appreciated.
Your Trump example shows how possible a wealth tax is. Sometimes you need to show you have money and the wealth tax can be hooked into those situations (among others).
> You shouldnt be taking legal advice from the internet.

Why not? I always find this "don't take advice from non-lawyers" to be annoying when I've listened to a lot of really idiotic theories by lawyers. And who knows, you might also find some lawyers right here on HN.
Google Analytics declared illegal in France
As someone who’s worked with many different OpenGL versions the big things I noticed were ‘missing’ from WebGL 1.0 are the following (some were available as extensions, but they are now standard):

- uniform buffer objects. OpenGL is limited to how many uniforms you can pass to each shader via glUniform* calls, making things that use a lot of uniforms (such as skeletal animation or instancing) effectively a no-go. Uniform buffers enable uniforms to use much much more memory.

- vertex array objects. Previously, you had to rebuild and respecify vertex attributes, in addition to actually pointing them to the right data, dynamically every frame. Vertex array objects capture all that state into one structure, which is usually built at the start of the program, so that it’s nothing more than a single pointer swap per-frame to render different kinds of models. It can be faster or slower depending on the hardware and driver but it’s faster for developers, at least.

- depth textures. Previously the depth buffer was pretty much write-only, making things like shadow mapping impossible without hacks like writing the z-coordinate to an extra color buffer off-screen.

- instancing. Now you can render many copies (‘instances’) of a model in just one draw call by passing a ‘count’ parameter, rather than making N draw calls. This is almost universally faster, where applicable.
At least since QE was introduced, real US GDP is growing slower, 10%+ lost.
You're not much of a partner at 0.0008% of yearly revenue. Now if a Netflix or Spotify was caught with a hand in the forbidden cookie jar, I'd expect the solution to be more diplomatic than straightforward perma-ban. If not for directly financial reasons, because their iOS user base would feel the void of these apps missing, unlike "Casino Slots 3D - Dolphin Edition".
Zanzibar Implementations
I'd rather the ISP pushed for IPv6.
But it won't make the old apps usable again. I've been trying to figure out for years why computers are so difficult to use and I've come to the conclusion that the churn in OS's and apps plus the difficulty in moving data and apps between devices is one the main reasons. Your entire digital persona is forced to change at least every decade, and you often have to relearn how to do things you used to know well. Everything digital fades away over time. This is good in some cases, but bad in others. I find it most apparently bad in music apps (DAW's, plugins). It's like having to relearn the violin from scratch every decade.
Sure but those users have the many options outlined in this very thread. There's also 'threads' in the top navbar which covers the basic use case reasonably well - I'm just mentioning in case you or others missed it, like I miss all sorts of weird cryptic HN features after 10+ years here.
Yes.

It'd be great if Gordon Gecko were the boogyman but the fact is that Mom and Pop petite bourgeoisie are the ones responsible for the disaster we're facing.
Jobs are concentrating in metro areas and so that’s where housing is concentrating. Costs going up in a growing metro economy creates a cycle where more lucrative jobs are attracted and thus more expensive housings are built.

At some point, it becomes far more profitable to build a housing development or luxury apartments than regular affordable apartments. Some places have zoning that limits new construction but even if they didn’t, all you’d get is housing built to chase the highest profit, single family homes, luxury apartments, and 55+ apartments, instead of affordable apartments.

The low income people I know all commute an hour or more into the metro areas because of their car allowing it.

This is, big picture, the death throes of a dying society, where the wealth has been stolen from future generations so much that there is no stronger incentive to produce and build for the laborers required to sustain a general economy, but rather it is most profitable to simply bleed off some wealth from the holders of it instead with ostentatiousness and luxury. Everyone is just trying to steal a piece from each other for themselves like in crypto instead of creating value.
Simply, if you enable sideloading/downloading from non App Store, you make it very visible in the UX that you are essentially in a "non-safe mode" (the actual security status probably varies, but Apple would probably go out of its way to hype up the potential of danger here), and you consent to all sorts of disclaimers disavowing Apple's responsibility here, and recommending they make backups before doing so. In fact maybe they could distinguish between pre- and post-sideloading enablement backups.

If users complain after sideloading was enabled, the Geniuses can simply tap on the sign.
The poor and middle class cannot take out as large a debt at as low a rate as those closer to the money supply.

Debt at 3% against an asset will on average net 4% return just due to 7% inflation

So massively leveraging against a home is extremely beneficial as it is the closest the poor and middle class can get to taking advantage of our monetary system.

So, it's not about the poor being debtors or holding currency, but that their debt is at higher rates, in smaller amounts, and typically acquired for everyday needs instead of assets.

Yeah, they copied that from Firefox after they noticed how useful it was. So did Microsoft; well after FF, but IIRC long before they rebased Edge on Chromium. In Edge it's even the same hotkey: Ctrl-Shift-D.
No, Quantitative Easing has this effect: asset prices go up. This itself causes rich (asset owning) people more rich. Until the crash.
Japan has a declining population. Residential real estate inevitably declines with this demographic trajectory.

More housing units per person. Also Japan did not have a lot of nimby mentality blocking new housing, to my knowledge

Lower rates offsets the price reduction to a certain extent.
How does a wealth tax help? I make 400k a year and can’t afford to buy anything. Even taking half of all the richest peoples wealth in the US does nothing to help. What would the government do? They spend that in a year. Wealth tax is a brain dead argument and I haven’t seen anyone explain how it would help the average person in anyway.
When your power goes out for a few minutes, what state does everything go into when it resumes?
This was discussed earlier this week.
Fortune 500s have Office 365 accounts already
Ransomware attacks are often hushed up. I understand why this is done but the danger here is that they're a lot more common than the public is aware of and nothing much is done about it because there isn't enough political pressure.
I see and that's accurate though this is where Remix really improves on React.

If you disable JS on the client and load a Remix app, the app will still work (though not as fully). You'll still be able to navigate links, load data etc. That's not true of most other apps built in just React that do all their data fetching client side and store all the data client side.
This is what happens when you have year long rent moratoriums. Smaller landlords who used to just rent out their vacation homes are getting out of the market.

If you own two homes, and you rent one out as a source of income, but all of a sudden that tenant doesn't want to pay, you have a problem. If you own a portfolio of 100 homes, and half the tenants don't want to pay odds are you can just sit on your appreciating assets until you sell it anyway.

What's even scarier is many of these units are going to remain un occupied forever. If you buy a house, and it goes up in value $50,000 per year, it might be easier to leave it vacant. The only solution is much easier zoning, and laxer building requirements.

For example, in LA apartments are mandated to have a parking space per unit. This can easily make the apartment cost 30 to 40% more to build. So the only apartments getting built start at $3,500.

I'm hoping this does eventually spur some change, it's getting too hard for working class people
