> The character 囍 means "double happiness" literally, and is often used in wedding ceremonies among other places here in China.

It's used by being hung on the wall, like a painting[1]. Like I said, it has no linguistic use, and thus it is not part of a writing system, which puts it outside the stated scope of Unicode. It is the exact equivalent, for weddings, of the upside-down 福 character that is hung for New Year's, or the wreath that Americans hang for Christmas.

But it does not correspond to anything in any language; there is no Chinese sentence whose spelling would include 囍. Note that the 新华 dictionary entry says "Double 喜. Generally used at happy occasions such as weddings.", and there are zero examples of the character being used. ( https://zidian.aies.cn/NDQ4MA==.htm )

The wording of the 新华 entry is almost identical with the beginning of the 汉语大词典 entry, and it's instructive to quote the rest of the entry:

> Character used at happy occasions. Commonly called "double 喜"[2]. Generally used at occasions such as weddings. Often cut from red paper (or gold leaf), or written on red paper, [then] pasted onto a door, window, or wall, in order to indicate a happy occasion.

[1] Actually, a much closer comparison would be the traditional magical talismans that use elements from the writing system in a freeform way to express various desired goals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulu

[2] This dictionary is nice enough to make the fact completely explicit that 双喜 is the name of the character rather than a definition. 汉语大词典 doesn't even attempt to provide a definition for this character.
The Linux monoculture in internet services does reduce the value of POSIX-compliance.

I got in the habit of at least gesturing towards POSIX back when it was more common to run a bunch of different unixes. And I still run both FreeBSD and Linux at home, so there's value there for me.

Mostly, I still do it because I'm always surprised by which artifacts I create end up being long-lived, and you never know what will be valuable in the future. One of the things I'm technically proudest of ended up only being useful for less than a year, whereas I know a dumb 4 line hack I wrote on a contract in 2002 is still running via cron every night, now on a VM in AWS.
For the record, I don't think that's as big a deal. Aside from the generational wealth thing, which I am certain biases the founding type, some of the best founders came about because they had nothing to lose.
Again, the question is “What do you think would have happened without lockdowns?”. Most of the research you mention, from what I’ve seen, doesn’t take into account the amount of damage that no lockdowns would have caused, not only on “life of old people” but on everyone, and not only from direct effects of the disease.

That’s the quid here. What you think would have happened without lockdowns and letting a highly contagious, severe disease run without control.
Historically, people just left for more rural parts rather than try and change behavior.

I know your scenario is particularly egregious, but there’s other stories in this thread that make me wonder how someone can live in Manhattan or along an interstate highway and still complain about noise.
Ask HN: Has anyone tried to do stock predictions using only HN data?
It seems that HN users are some of the smartest people on the internet(besides maybe researchgate, but it's not really casual discussion...)

It also seems that a lot of people here tends to detect patterns before everyone, a lot of users also have insider knowledge about big tech

So it might seem like a decent place to analyze for stock prediction right? I remember reading about a trader here who said that he was reading HN before the markets open to have an edge when investing on tech stocks

Do you know anyone who tried to do it using software?
To be fair, when writing scripts it's easy to fall foul of differences between GNU and BSD tools, or using an external tool that isn't available by default on some systems.

Pure bash solutions avoid these problems, and can be just as simple as (or simpler than) an alternative that use external tools.

My little one plays with my keychain, which has my U2F keys on it, all the time. She likes the light the BLE U2F fob has.

I don't see the distinction you're making between TOTP and U2F if your threat model is 'someone in your house', the two are virtually indistinguishable in such a scenario - in fact, the U2F is less secure. Your "soon to be ex-spouse" can easily use your hardware token while you're in the shower, as I said above.

I guess I wasn't clear, but what I meant by "using trucks for truck things" I meant things you can do with a truck but not a car. Towing, moving construction supplies around, and other such tasks are all valid reasons to own a truck since you can't practically do that with a car.

On the other hand, commuting through a city can be done just as well or better by a car in every sense. 22mpg is terrible mileage compared to a modern car and the fact that it seems good reinforces my point of how wasteful it is to commute in a truck.
The funniest thing to me was always how any non-EV cert can be used in place of an EV cert if you want to MITM. Just find a way to generate a non-EV cert for a domain (from any of the hundreds of CAs) and go ahead and intercept traffic. Nobody will notice that the domain no longer uses an EV cert. The browser won't care. So it's not actually providing any security at all.

I blame the browsers. They could have made it perform some kind of check, give some kind of warning. We've had to drag them kicking and screaming to adopt every ridiculous security extension to the web. They still use half-ass measures like HSTS that are trivial to work around. Nobody look at the big pink elephant.
If you can make it work you'll be a very rich person, tedivm. I encourage you to aggressively pursue this opportunity.

Well, I don't disagree with that, my point was just that you're arguing semantics regarding the word beta, because their marketing is very clear about what it is (and I'd also argue that beta for hardware is a different standard than for games, but I guess now I'm arguing semantics)
Do it. In this market, the hardest part is keeping up with all the interview requests.
This is simply an opinion. How actual believes on the matter by leading war council member on this question would have evolved is highly questionable.

And we have basically no historical example where traditional bombing leads to that outcome.
"I think that future will be nuclear fission powered, and not sun and solar powered. "

Every life on earth, was always sun powered. I doubt that fundamentally changes.

"They had all the technology needed back then, why did they use it so badly'?"

But I agree to that. The technology is there.

Did you know, that you can make batteries in bulk with no rare elements, with just iron, copper and saltwater?

And also, that you can transport electricity over long distances and that we have abundance of sunny desserts?

(and many more concepts of solar power generating, than just solar panels)

But sure, alternativly we can also build thousands of nuclear reactors, that contaminate their environment for a long time if they fail badly. I mean, fission is an quite awesome technology, which at some point of progress probably can handled safely under normal circumstances. But just because of unsolved human social dynamics alone (aka terrorism), it is maybe not very wise to scale them up and spread them everywhere.

But whether solar or nuclear - the main problems that remain, are that in most parts of the world, it is still way cheaper to just burn coal and oil.

One example that doesn’t require any CS to appreciate is Rule 110[1], arguably the simplest Turing complete system. It clearly shows this pattern graphically. Wikipedia describes it this way:

“Rule 110, like the Game of Life, exhibits what Wolfram calls "Class 4 behavior", which is neither completely stable nor completely chaotic. Localized structures appear and interact in complex ways.”

All European / UK banks I've tried are just as bad as azure as of lately. Thanks SCA, I guess.

What's the purpose of authenticating me 8 times in the span on 10m.

Open banking api that allow you to add accounts from other banks were promising but they turned out to be half baked versions, so in practice I still have n bank apps ok my phone. Not to mention I could not do online banking without my phone.

I've been seriously considering automating all of that and just have an application with a master password which access encrypted multiple banks secrets and authenticate / perform local mfa as required and let me have the banking experience (for a single bank) of, say, 10 years ago.

All of this for what? If someone hacks my account and steal my money I hope the bank mafia would be able to sort out things with the target bank and hallucinate a balance without the theft (especially because they flag tons of payments as fraudulent, requiring me to call them).
As another example of historical complexity driven by a focus on directly encoding the everyday representation of data, early designs for the telegraph system used twenty-six individual wires to separately indicate each letter of the alphabet.

It is also interesting that practical designs then ignored the obvious five-wire simplification of this ("UTF-32 for telegraphy") and settled on Morse code ("UTF-8 for telegraphy").
Core idea:

"I’ve seen three considerations that drive the successful adoption of the biphasic monetization strategy. First, companies need to prove the benefits of this biphasic monetization strategy by qualifying new services against 13 attributes that make up what I call the Unified Subscription Adoption Model (USAM). I developed the USAM as the first hybrid framework for assessing the end-to-end potential of subscription offerings, combining two widely recognized technology and product adoption models, but adjusting their core attributes to better match the idiosyncrasies of subscription-based offerings. Second, new features/services need to be added over time to maintain or increase the overall price of a given subscription bundle. And lastly, companies need to take into account how susceptible the demand for a given offering is to changes in price."
> SSH's model isn't very good, either. You can be MITM'ed for free the first time you connect

This is how many people seem to use SSH, yes. It's also quite plainly the wrong way. I'm thankful the people behind HTTPS have higher standards than the typical Unix user seems to have.

I've mentioned before on HN that I once submitted a ServerFault question after finding myself unable to match the SSH fingerprint shown on the EC2 web interface against the one PuTTY was showing. [0][1] It turned out that PuTTY's fingerprint scheme was MD5/hex, whereas OpenSSH had switched to SHA256/Base64. I was surprised no one else had asked the question.

I dabbled with Azure recently, and iirc it was close to impossible to view the SSH fingerprint of a new instance using their web interface. Perhaps it was possible via a web-based command-line session. Either way it was disappointing.

I now suspect I'm part of a tiny minority of people who ever think to check SSH fingerprints.

> You can be MITM'ed for free the first time you connect (obviously, that's what TOFU means)

Judging by the old thread [0], at least one person uses it to mean Check manually on first use then trust it, rather than to mean Blindly trust on first use. Wikipedia seems to agree that the term can refer to either strategy. [2] I now make a point to say blindly trust on first use, or check manually on first use, to disambiguate.

Also, for what it's worth, SSH certificates do apparently exist, [0] but I know nothing about them.

They used to do this when red light cameras were popular in California. You could just write a letter saying the person in the pic wasn't you. As long as the ticket is tied to a driver you can basically get away with it via this route.

If the ticket is for the vehicle owner then yes I could see this working. Perfect for emissions violations and vehicle code violations. You could also double-check for stolen license plates as it should be fairly easy to automate the detection of most car makes/models as long as the car hasn't been heavily modified.
In these types of conversations someone always brings up the idea of renting a vehicle instead of owning one that can do what you want to do "once a month". Renting a truck or SUV that can tow a decent amount of weight is expensive, if you can find it, and the friction of finding, renting, insuring, picking up, loading the truck, unloading, dropping off, dealing with things when you ding the vehicle, means you mostly won't do that activity. Once a year, rental makes sense. Once a month, nope.

>I think in older homes the thought at the time was that the kitchen was a utility room meant for cooking, food storage and dishes.

And in some cases, it was where the servants dealt with such things out of site of any guests.

The house I grew up in had such an arrangement. And although we didn't have a cook, etc., in the sixties, my parents did a lot of large dinner party entertainment. While my mother did the cooking, it would still have been pretty much unthinkable for guests to be hanging out in the kitchen much less helping to clean up etc.

Like most people in the suburbs the OP could probably answer in the affirmative. My brother does this professionally and he gets by just fine without any such machines. It’s kind of a selling point for people who don’t want fumes, dust and chemicals in their gardens.
There are controls to disable internet access on a per-app basis. Seen them in devices from at least two different vendors, one of them being Pixel - thus I believe this is a stock feature on at least Android 10+.

I'm not aware of governments just asking one to pay a fine. The thing that really bothers me is that it allows the state to perform legal action at scale. If a city, let's say Chicago, just started sending people ticket how many would just pay it? From what I've seen [0], my guess would be a lot.

I find it hypocritical for someone to drive and complain about noise from a major road.

And it's why people choose not to live near major roads.
There's a lot of ways that the standards have changed, it's not just one dimension.

Complexity and feature set are probably the biggest. New construction single-family homes today are more likely to be customized, not kits, have way more features and way better mechanicals. That 1914 house had no kitchen appliances, no laundry appliances, no driveway, no garage, no insulation, no central HVAC, etc.

> NRC uses a cost/life of $9M when evaluating if new nuclear safety equipment is needed.

How much cost has been added to nuclear projects due to additional safety requirements? I think it's plausible to say "over 9 billion", as an extremely conservative estimate. Would you object to this? (That's the cost overrun for just one reactor, for context)

If so, that means that those additional safety regulations have reduced nuclear deaths in the US by at least 1000 deaths.

This does not seem plausible to me, as the worst case for a meltdown in the US with 70s-era designs is not "Chernobyl style uncontained accident" but instead something rather close to Fukushima or 3 Mile Island, purely due to containment structures. Given how many people died from radiation in the wake of Fukushima (literally one - and less than 100 estimated in the counterfactual scenario where there was no evacuation) and 3-Mile Island (zero confirmed), I think it's reasonable to say that there is no way for the NRC's regulations to have prevented even 1000 deaths over the past 50 years.

There's a constant struggle between allowing free speech versus restricting it via trademark laws. In general, they want to make sure companies can talk about and mention their competitors by name and not be silenced by trademark lawsuits, while still ensuring the trademark isn't being infringed to the point of confusion. "Amazon Elasticsearch Service" sounds an awful lot like they have permission to use the Elasticsearch brand, while simply referring to it in parentheses indicates it's a competing service to the actual elasticsearch.
