Just some suggestions for the connection part.

Using a phone is probably the first mistake. If you are going to use your home network you are better off using a machine you control and an operating system that is open source.

I suggest these steps:
Step 1: Connect to a popular vpn.
Step 2: Connect to tor
Step 3: Get free vps or pay with cryto you trade for gift cards purchased or some other method
Step 4: Connect to vps with desktop running. Use virtual desktop.
Step 5: Use vpn. This time use vpn with best rep to be accepted as regular traffic.
Step 6: Signup for services

Step 1 solves the k issue. Many people using that vpn will connect to tor

Step 4: Seems slow but at the virtual desktop level out things are fast from that machine to new hosts. Use scripts could help.
I’ve been doing a lot of technical analysis for funsies… using market data from the game Old School Runescape (an MMO with a centralized exchange for trades between players).

It’s really fun! Much easier to find success when you’re not in a zero sum competition against a bunch of quants and don’t have your whole livelihood at stake. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants a “day trading simulator” experience.
I'd characterize more as "Turn off JavaScript, and lose access to any site fronted by Cloudflare."
Any organization still running Google Tag Manager and allowing random marketing people to insert whatever someone told them to in a webinar must be having a death wish when the GDPR exists. You would think security teams would have put an end to that madness years ago but here we are.
I just use different browser for different activities. I search with Firefox (w/ Ublock, Adblocker) - when I'm ready to buy I use Chrome.
The most annoying part for me is getting tracked against my will.

So now it's worse.
Not just Israel - most Jews everywhere will use the screening. If two people are both carriers they suggest they don't marry, normally the screening is checked after the first date.

And regarding eugenics they only screen for diseases that require two carriers, because such a person can marry someone who is not a carrier. Diseases that manifest with a single copy of the gene are specifically not screened for because there's nothing the person can do in that case.
oh sweet thanks :-)
Ah, I searched for it by its Twitter link and didn't find it because the previous discussion is on a 3rd-party "rollup" of the thread. Thanks!

> Unfortunately you can't really fix students not caring about their education

You absolutly can, it should be the easiest thing in the world.

From birth give them caregivers with the time and ability to start learning early. Give them someone who will read to them daily, who will show them numbers and letters and counting.

Send them to a good pre-school with motivated teachers who are able to teach them math and language and cause and effect without them realizing they are being taught.

Send them to schools where they can do their assignments during the day, either in class or in an afterschool program. Give them tutors to help them in subjects they struggle with.

In other works, give them what every middle and upper class kid gets. It would do wonders.
Why not just use Firefox containers?
Mostly false. Missing context.

People are now stuck in hyperreality [1] with an inability to tell the difference between the simulation of reality (news, social media) and actual objective physical reality.

Hyperreality, in semiotics and postmodernism, is an inability of consciousness to distinguish reality from a simulation of reality, especially in technologically advanced postmodern societies. Hyperreality is seen as a condition in which what is real and what is fiction are seamlessly blended together so that there is no clear distinction between where one ends and the other begins.

Consume a diverse set of news media. If your watching a corporate news network you're most certainly being lied to more than you'd believe.

My point is that we should have gone through a FOIA route from the beginning.

And no, a lot of important information still isn't publicly available, so we still have these issues that need to be ironed out for the exact same reason as I'm describing. This release still only scratches the surface. I'm able to get court documents from city law departments, but the process takes forever (ten complaints per week, for example) and the alternative is to go downtown to work with computer systems that have poor search capabilities.

Had we been (and been able to be) aggressive from a FOIA perspective from the beginning, the inefficiencies of these systems (eg, segmentting private information is stored in court records) would be more ironed out.
>Or you can just be a known drug lord, launder billions of USD through a respected international bank, no one goes to jail, small fine,

Are you referring to some specific drug lord? Who?
Which is a staggering portion of the popular web.
Really interesting and I have no idea why it has to be this hard. Fun nonetheless, though cynically, I was holding out hope that hope that after all the work he'd find the feature in the web interface.
I have to disagree here. It's not about the middleman. They probably know the income you made -- but they may also not know all the income you made. Self reporting of taxes is standard in many countries for this reason. People run small businesses, freelance, get cash payments, tips, etc that are outside their normal (reported) income. You are required to report this, even if the IRS doesn't know about it. That's why they will never send you pre-filled forms. They want you to report everything -- and they're certainly not going to make easier to skip reporting some of your income.
Interesting. Haven’t seen that kind of garbage on HN before.
"To index" means to point, as with your index finger. An index, such as at the end of a book, serves to point into the main body of the work. In this context, I think of an index like a mass noun; the whole thing serves the purpose of pointing, so one does not count the individual entries to quantify the whole. This is the same sense as in database indices, I think.

I don't really make a distinction between "indices" and "indexes"; it seems more a matter of how integrated "index" is into English, since "indices" would be (I believe) the Latin pluralization, while "indexes" uses the more typical English plural scheme. They index (ha) the same semantic meaning in my mind.

(We have the same issue with "appendix" and "appendixes" vs "appendices". It's telling that neither spelling bothers iOS as I type this.)
> I'm sorry, but there are tons of young people from religious or conservative families who wait until marriage to have sex and marry young

The parent poster implied that people were highly bound by their religion; I simply offered a counterexample. I am not saying that abstinence until marriage never happens.

> and/or don't begin their sexual exploration until well into college

This is not relevant since the teaching is abstinence until marriage, not abstinence until college.
This is not a well-written article.

Oh I remember this tutorial, because I followed it once to get telnet to this exact device.
I even bought a special transcend sd card reader that was said to support 1-bit mode, but what worked for me in the end was the cheapest and crappiest looking adapter I had.

The funny thing is that you can use this method to illegaly increase your internet speed, since it is limited by the modem, not by the ISP's equipment.
If you just made all your programers 5% faster, they are each more productive. Now you should hire more programmers because there's a wider range of things they can profitably work on.
> Are there any downsides to using the real time kernel for more mainstream tasks?

Real-time kernels tend to sacrifice anything in order to minimize latency, for being better for use cases where lowest latency is needed. This usually means tradeoffs regarding throughput, power consumption, resource usage, reliability and more, in order to get the lowest possible latency.

In some cases you need really low latency, but in most day-to-day tasks I don't think you need it (disclaimer: I run linux-zen personally, mainly for minimizing audio latency when doing music with bunch of hardware + desktop PC).

> Will this eventually get merged into the main Linux branch?

I'm not too familiar with kernel development so someone else should give you a definitive answer, but considering the tradeoffs it's very unlikely.
I think it is a wrong place to start. If we somehow manage to get politicians to bear personal financial responsibility for improving living standards of the majority the rest should more or less fall into place eventually. Of course making politicians responsible in such way will never happen in reality. They are mostly bought by big corporations and act accordingly.

The short answer is no. Users do not care about programming language or the underlying tech you chose. All the care are their pains your product solves.

On MVP stage you can use whatever cheapest options you have: e.g. low/no code tools, manual updates. The tech matters at the scaling stage, here you have to select the tech that proven to scale and for which you can (relatively) easily find engineers.
> Whilst I agree with everything you say (quote?), you’re not meant to bank with unexplained or unsavoury sources of funds.

Who's "you"? The Bank? How does the bank "decide" whether the funds are legitimate or not? Be the judge, the executor and everything else in between?

Am I crazy or this shit~ should have never been acceptable, in a sane world.

> If someone falls off a ladder while painting your house, they can sue you and take your house.

This doesn’t address the claim that people are losing their houses due to painters falling off of ladders.

There is a very low bar in the US for filing a lawsuit and it’s unsurprising to find a lawyer’s website encouraging you to do so as they typically still get paid even if you lose, or they hope to scare someone into a settlement because they’d never win at trial.

Winning a case like this in front of a jury, and for the value of the house (and collecting it) as OP mentioned sounds unrealistic to me, but happy to see links to any stories where this actually happened in case I’m wrong.

Plus, some states have rules about not forcing people to sell their primary residence to pay a debt: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_exemption

I just can’t imagine a jury awarding such high damages unless there was obvious negligence on the homeowner’s part. I have trouble believing that an accident alone (through no fault of the homeowner) could cost you your home.
The conscious human is not a necessary part of the system, as he is just blindly following rules. Therefore, his lack of comprehension tells us nothing about the system in question.

I am sorry to mostly repeat myself. I am trying to think of another way to make my point, and coming up blank.
Thanks! I've put 1995 above.
That might be it. Thank you. If anyone wants to read more about it it's called Cori Cycle and it doesn't require oxygen and it doesn't produce CO2.

But you'll need to get energy eventually from normal beathing to recycle lactic acid back into glucose in the liver.

So probably after an hour of intense exercise you'll be breathing out more CO2 in the following hours as your body clears up lactic acid.

What's interesting is you get 2ATP from making lactate, but you need 6ATP to recycle lactate back into glucose.

Would that mean that for burning more calories you should have as much of anerobic excercises as possible because it's really ineficient use of glucose?
A lot of programmers work to automate and manage huge shifting businesses, saving sometimes 100x more than they cost. Many others work in effectively the entertainment industry: social media, actual entertainment, apps, and games.

I don't think the entertainment industry will ever stop: there's always someone with money and an idea to capture the world's attention. I don't think businesses will ever stop growing and evolving, therefore needing programmers to migrate and rework their systems.
Is this actually true? Are CEOs lamenting their engineering labor costs like this? I feel like by now the cost of engineering labor has demonstrated its value over and over again, to the point where most CEOs accept the cost of engineering is more or less a shared expense across competition, and not really something to be reduced.
Blocking of feigning responses to particular remote APIs is still better than having to run a bunch of random tracking JS snippets, because without one of them a page just errors out.
I've used FreeTaxUSA and it's done everything I've ever wanted.

You're going to judge a book and the man by a context-free quote? That's kind of stupid, you know that right?
I've been blocking GTM forever, so I do wonder how this will play out.
Ahh spot on. ASPIRE to make a billion then STILL go into the OFFICE.

LOL. Talk about the disease of the winner who will never actually be a winner in there own head because doing stuff and acheiving stuff doesnt make up the PTSD they harbor
As a former employee of a company that was essentially trying to build the "turbo tax for accountants", we had over 200 accounts, 50+ software engineers, and still barely scratched the surface. (The project eventually shut down after burning through 25 million). The problem is that tax code is very very ugly. We had entire teams thar would specialize in a specific tax area.
Even if you could codify everything, the amount things change from year to year is insane.
Most accountants deal with a very small subset of tax law, and they send the rest off to specialist teams, like a big-4 accountant firm where a lots of things are done by hand or older archaic software that costs a lot of money. (Comparative to turbo tax).
Even the small subset of tax law most people deal with, there are thousands of edge cases.
And then, to top it off, the problem isn't really "calculating everything" but filling out the forms. Because the IRS expects PDFs.

That...that's the whole point. If the human is just blindly following rules, so is the computer!
"I don't, but so many of my friends do. It depresses me sometimes, for the same reason that people find that video depressing. I really don't see the difference."

The difference is I felt guilty as hell when I sacricied things I could look forward to in my real life day for a one day 20 hour DOTA binge.

The greivance the author highlights in the article that Meta seems to paint a picture where the Metaverse is the only palatable escape from a cruel, indifferent world that has no place for you.

Me playing too much DOTA -> wasting time that couldve been put to better use making a better more fulfilling life for myself in exchange for a dopamine hit.

Me engaing with the Metaverse too much -> No such thing. You're real life is depressing, intractable and out of your control. This is the last place you'll be able to find any semblance of joy.

Thats not to say that any engagement with the Metaverse will be inherantly unhealthy. If Facebook's history of increasing user engagement with little to no scruples is any indication I don't blame people for being concerned about a dangerous flavor of escapism being promoted.
Pretty sure a big ban hammer is coming for Google with all such shenanigans, especially in trigger happy places like Europe and India who don't like their citizens tracked and are happy to create legislative bans.

Well, you could do

presumably. Though since _ has some meaning in Python maybe you'd want to do

from better_partial import partial, _ as x

instead (or something like it).
Even for Christmas movies, A Christmas Story managed to take that title from It's a Wonderful Life in my circles. Those TBS all-day repeats are great for something to have on in a chaotic house where nobody is sitting still long enough to just watch through a movie.
I've been running NoScript for the past year. It's pretty nice once you get to a stable set of policies. I load mainstream media sites in incognito tabs with JavaScript enabled for the tab.

> Uncle Bob is an idiot for making this statement

Bold claim for someone who didn't even read the whole quote in context.

> The ideal number of arguments for a function is zero (niladic). Next comes one (monadic), followed closely by two (dyadic). Three arguments (triadic) should be avoided where possible. More than three (polyadic) requires very special justification-- and they shouldn't be used anyway.
Hi streetcat1 thanks for responding in such a courteous manner.
To your points:
1. I am not going to get into the ethics of AWS rebranding OSS. That could be an entirely different topic. Unlike almost all other OSS products, K8s was not designed to solve OUR problems. It was developed to solve GCP's lagging marketshare. GCP needed to normalize our workloads in the hopes people could easily migrate to their cloud.

2. I am sorry that is not true. The documentary clearly spells out Kubernetes was not community first. I point out that fact several times. They even quote Urs as saying that. I believed what you believed at one point as well, I don't anymore.

3. I am not understanding your point, I am familiar with the history of Openstack.

your next points:
1. That is portability not scalability, and I agree a clear bonus brought by
Docker, not Kubernetes.
2. I am not sure the point here. If you mean I can fork it, I addressed that. AWS has way more workloads then 5%, in just straight market share and as a slice of the K8s pie.
3. I am completely familiar with the "control loop", I hope the best for your business, I guess.
God damn... this is it, this is the end-game. There's no way to fight this unless you customize and maintain blocking scripts for each individual website.

Yes, websites could always have done this, but the REST (CDN-bypassing) requests' cost and the manual maintenance for the telemetry endpoints and storage was an impediment that Google just gives them a drop-in solution for :(

I think Google is happy to eat some of the cost for the "proxy" server given the abundance of data they'll be gobbling up (not just each request's query string and users' IP address but -being a subdomain- all the 1st party cookies as well). I don't have the time or energy to block JavaScript and/or manually inspect each domain's requests to figure out if they use server-side tracking or not.

I honestly don't know if there's any solution to this at all. Maybe using an archive.is-like service that renders the static page (as an image at the extreme), or a Tor-like service and randomizes one's IP address and browser fingerprint.
The current version doesn't but there's not really a reason to believe it can't be updated. I think the author overstates the complexity of documenting these proxies and URLs for sites that run them.
Depends on where. Hearing the complaining openly at some companies. My former employer openly called American engineering salaries too high during all hands.
Ah, right, I was thinking of the NSA datacenter. Still, the fact remains, the CIA is not geographically constrained to Virginia, or even the east coast of the United States.
Yup. People != Everyone.

I will argue a bit for the value of noise (visual or auditory) of causing you to stop processing each individual element and accept them as one whole though. I don't think that argument applies to pin registration shake on film animation, but if every element of a mix were perfectly dry it would sound unrealistic (even live, arguably the highest fidelity of music for this argument, has room characteristics).

Regarding hollywood it was originally a way to make the CG elements and live-action elements actually blend. Once they went all-digital it didn't make as much sense.
uh, with more greatness?
Do you have concrete examples of any of those things?

The only real tradeoff I am aware of is you sacrifice IO throughput so that the kernel can spread time related service tasks more fairly and userland process can interrupt the kernel. But, as modern Linux kernels work, it is not obvious you experience these throughput problems if you don't mark any tasks with realtime priority. You can still get low power consumption, low resource usage, high reliability, etc, with realtime requirements.
The process that makes those 800 lb. rolls of paper is every bit as complex and interesting as the printing. I worked in a paper mill for several summers, and later on worked for a couple of years on the lumberjack end (much more fun).

The paper-making machines dwarf that printing-press. There are groups of rollers that weigh more than it!

If you don't provide a real name when registering a domain, you lose the domain as soon as the registrar gets served with papers. This is an ICANN policy, you can't escape it.

All the registrars sell access to the real names behind their "privacy protection" service. They do not bother checking if the requester has a warrant or is even affiliated with law enforcement. They simply charge a fee (around $50 per request) to prevent bulk extraction, and possibly review the top 50-100 highest-volume requesters.

njalla is really the only way around this, but you have to trust them with legal ownership of your domain.
It can always get worse
Great piece that satisfies my Facebook blood-lust. Seeing the ad for the first time is definitely a WTF experience too. A bit too honest in spite of itself. Are they tone-deaf as usual, or actually trying to normalize a world that just sort of routinely and casually screws you over and discards and wastes you? Like hey when the world inevitably fucks you and finally you're nothing but a shadow of your former self, we'll be here to help you relive the old times. (With no genitals of course.) I dunno, it's too weird! Unsettling. Hard to believe someone thought it was a good idea.
It's leet hacking in Missouri.
There's some very good points in there, but (4) is unfair. It's true that there's no boundary between a sudoer and root in Linux, but there's also no boundary between an Administrator and SYSTEM in Windows. UAC, even in the "secure" AlwaysNotify mode which uses the secure desktop, has countless unpatched bypasses[1].

Also, (3) should raise some eyebrows for readers paying attention. Cool, Microsoft removed font parsing from the kernel, how wise of them. Wait a second, why was font parsing in the kernel to begin with? With win32k.sys, it shouldn't be surprising that Microsoft has to do more legwork to bring the attack surface back down to the level of other OSes. They're also exploring the use of eBPF in the Windows kernel too[2].
