There are lots of lessons in the internet's limited history that show poorly conceived defaults are the most common and dangerous mistake. Microsoft let Frontpage Extension credentials default to the domain name and a blank password through multiple major versions, without any prompt to change anything (you had to seek out the settings, and it wasn't even obvious where they were). Throughout the late 90s and early 00s, entire hosting companies were continuously compromised because of this, along with nearly every school district in the US and tons of major universities. Schools typically had the worst security and most available processing power and bandwidth, already making them the preferred targets of script kiddies everywhere.

That exploit was single-handedly responsible for hundreds of thousands of bots (and more likely millions in later years) which wreaked havoc on the internet as a whole -- these were the days when a handful of bots on good connections could take down the Amazons of the world for lengthy periods (days, not hours). That they let it go on for so long was comical at the time, but in hindsight seems criminally negligent.
Yeah, but that's just the start. The fact Firefox did it at all is a sure sign of more to come.
Interesting that ES is still such a widely used component, this is a huge red flag about a software product. And of course there are lots of other regular complaints about it (eg uses a lot of memory and wants a 3-node cluster so costs 4 figures/mo to run on AWS).

I didn't quite get what you're saying here.

I'm not claiming I got the overarching plot or character development of the series. It was the small plot hooks during the episodes that I found poor enough to make the show unwatchable. I've stopped watching a bunch of other shows for the same reason so it's not exclusive to Breaking Bad, it's just the most popular show to suffer from this style of writing.
Look, I'm not here for a moral lecture from you. I'm part Ukrainian, okay. But I like the service that the Yandex translator provided. Firefox removing it from their defaults is just the beginning. I can see the rest of the internet moving in to remove it all together somehow if they could, since Firefox just removed it from their defaults. It's a first start.

Now, for the love of all that is good; stop trying to lecture people on morals when you have no right to.
WebUSB (and bluetooth and HID and Serial) are not standards. They are Chrome-only non-standards.

Neither Safari nor Firefox are going to implement them.
Just like a quality automobile, to bring the discussion closer to the article. For example, a Tesla Model 3 might cost more than a Hyundai I10, but after three years of ownership you've not had to change the oil, fill it with gas, get the tailpipe emissions inspected, possibly see the catalytic converter stolen, etc. And the difference in maintenance only grows from there, when the plugs and timing belt and seals and transmission and other items wear.

Lots of products have more expensive buy-in buy are cheaper in the long run.

Anybody making this claim should also explain how the government goes about "printing" money

The government doesn't create money.
The US subsidizes it and then artificially constrains the housing supply through zoning, so the subsidies just inflate the purchase price and go to the banks as interest on higher principal or to the people who owned property when the subsidies were first implemented.

The ROI is attributable to the supply constraint in the face of population growth, not the subsidies.

If housing supply wasn't constrained the subsidies would lower the initial cost but then it wouldn't work as an investment because the real value would never go up since if it did that would cause an increase in supply through new construction.

But that's also what makes it a pyramid scheme. More people bidding on the same amount of housing makes the price go up, but only if the population grows. Fertility rate tells a bad story there. And on top of that it's per-city; ask people who had homes in Detroit.

Someday this is all going to fall apart. I don't know when it's going to be though.
No, they dont. Which is pretty clear everytime something you do know a lot about pops up. Majority of it is just people shooting their opinions over coffee break. Which is fine, we go here to relax and slack, but does not produce super educated opinions.

check nomadlist.com. nomad style would be travel to all the ones you fancy and spend a few weeks there, then you'll know. one of the most favourite nomad places worldwide is thailand and bali. if you factor in costs work from home/paradise very likely gives a lot higher payoff than locating at tech hubs in terms of price/value. e.g. Chiang mai, Thailand frequently ranks #1 on nomadlist. living cost there is shown at 1000$/month (versus 4400$ in London or 6000$ in SF, 3600$ in Brisbane).
So this supply chain crunch would have still happened but people would not have noticed it while dealing with much bigger problems such as unemployment.

I've used both, and moved from OpenHAB to HomeAssistant around 4 years back. Both required some upkeep from time to time, but HomeAssistant lowered my maintenance and debugging time. The OSGi architecture used in OpenHAB felt pretty clunky running on a small Raspberry PI or similar system compared to HomeAssistant. OpenHAB always felt like overkill for my simple use case of a small home containing few sensors and lights.

"A member of the team, Dr Vivek Sathe, frisked the student and found a mobile phone in the inner pocket of his trouser. The phone was switched on and connected to a Bluetooth device, Dr Dixit said. However, the team did not find a Bluetooth device on the student.

On sustained questioning, the student confessed that an ENT surgeon had fitted a skin coloured micro Bluetooth device in his ear.

The squad also found another student with a small SIM-powered device and a micro Bluetooth device, but the student informed the squad that it was not inserted surgically and can be removed with a pin.

The devices have been sent to an internal examination committee, which will decide whether a police case for using unfair means in an exam should be filed, Thakur said.

Dr Anand Rai, the whistleblower in the so-called Vyapam scam, where various competitive exams were rigged, said: “It is very easy to get Bluetooth fitted in the ears. It is attached to the ear temporarily and can be removed. Such a technique was used by a Vyapam scam accused too to clear his medical exam eight years ago.”

Many here take that high-risk path, even though they know that clearing the entrance is just step 0, and there are tougher exams further. Such is the mindlessness at display.

I would encourage people to think even tinier than the items on their list. Calling some of these items tiny reeks of humblebragging.

At the start of my programming explorations, tiny would be something like learn how to create a file with an editor and how to save it. Or how to add 2 + 2 in bash. Not full blown programs, but bricks that can be put together.

And now no longer as a beginner, there can still be tiny things on the same scale that I’m doing for the first time because it’s a new problem or a new language.
Sure, the underlying point that exams are really important is true. And it's also true that people try to cheat, and that people retry the same exam several times.

What makes it a tall tale is the over-the-topness of it.
> Is it more honest? Or is it just more self-centered, or more defensive, or more timid?

Yes it is more honest. Pretending certainty where you don't have none is lying and pretty often has exact that effect. It is way more egoistic and self centered to act with certainty just so you dont look "defensive" or "timid".

Because then you are exchanging truth for feeling good from appearing strong.

> are you brazenly assuming that people care about how confident you are about things, or are you defensively trying to say the least possible?

This does not make any sense as accusation. You are expressing level of confidence. You can do that independently of whether "people care". It is also perfectly OK to defensively say the least possible. Literally nothing wrong with that.

Aggressively saying maximum, even if you know it is likely half truth at best, is much much worst.
It is very common to see HN commenters only address the title not the contents of the web page, a genuine phenomenon IMO.

Experiment: No titles, just URLs. What would happen.

I have some experience with this as I freqently stream edit HTTP response bodies to make customised web pages using only simple HTML wrapped around only the data I am interested in, no cruft. For example, when I do web searches I process the response, i.e., the SERP, into simplified HTML, e.g., <li><a href=[url]>[url]</a>. I do not include titles.

Titles can be descriptive and helpful, however I find most times they are a distraction. Think about the "clickbait" tactic. It is heaviliy reliant on misleading titles.
Repairation payments directly addresses the "white people have the money" problem.

John Oliver made a much better case than I ever could in a HN comment. It also answers "why do the white people have so much money" question.

The post paints a discouraging picture overall, but it does have some interesting double standards if you consider these three separate quotes:

> It would seem there is no end to how far businesses can take white-labeling and outsourcing.

> I’m sure engineering time to manually delete data must be more expensive in the long run than creating processes and tools for customers and customer support representatives to handle delectation requests.

> 11 of these were smaller niche online stores.

If I'm a "niche online store", am I somehow excused from these rules? I would think there would be a market for white-labeled online stores for niche online stores, but that's somehow Bad™? But having an in-house engineering team develop the platform and respond to development needs as they arise (to handle the first account deletion request) is also Bad™?
I'm probably a smidge more pro sports than you. I don't go to many games (other than if my child is playing), but I do go to some.

But like, cities do all sorts of things that aren't economically sound. Who am I to say what they should do? If the taxpayers/voters/etc want to spend their money on a stadium, that's fine, as long as they know it's unlikely to make economic sense. Large stadiums are a prestige project, and those often don't make a lot of economic sense (and sometimes don't meet any of their other goals, either).
How do you mean the government doesn't create money? The Federal Reserve Bank creates money. Sometimes literally by physically printing it, but more often by crediting someone's account in their computers. When the Fed "sets interest rates" on bonds, it buys bonds on the market using computer money it credits the seller's account with which it created out of nothing.

Ordinary banks also create money when they make loans, which gets destroyed again when the loans are repaid. More money is created this way when interest rates are lower because people take out more loans then.
"Value Engineering" - make the same thing, but at half the cost, eventually you get chip bags filled with air and reduced by 1.5 oz margins until the profit matches what's needed.
The use-case of 3D reconstruction vs real-time inference can be very different (but certainly related).

Monocular 3D reconstruction can require many frames at many angles (or possibly just a few frames at sparse angles).

The inference case with a self-driving vehicle may allow for this in some scenes, but certainly not all. Trying to infer the relative motion of say two moving vehicles and getting enough frames for monocular reconstruction may take longer than is required for an emergency break, not to mention the robustness issues with those pose estimations without additional sensors. Solving any one of these issues can be done but I think it’s pretty clear we’re a bit away from solving all of them.
> Just to make up an example, think about the last time you sent an email to someone that had two questions in it.

Pretty often they are answering easy question and leaving the harder one sleep. Pretty often, the goal is to get rid of you email as fast as possible so that they can go back to what they actually want to be doing.
Something that's helped me a lot recently (after ~9 months of using nixos) is to actively look in nixpkgs to see what options a package exposes.

The pundits claiming that "it's complex" are the same ones that claimed inflation didn't exist until it was undeniable.
Their counterpoint would be: why should they invest 100% of the capital in a stadium that bringing tens of thousands of middle

We actually don't have all time high gas prices, at least not yet. They were higher pre-2008 crash when adjusted for inflation. Which is the only price that matters. After all, we also have all time high average income right now as well.

Agreed, I’m interested to see how sensitive it is to camera pose error, and especially long-term drift.
There are not just spare parcels floating around zoned for stadiums (or hospitals, or university campuses, or whatever). Creating one of these things is always an act of government.

That’s not to say the government should also have to pay, but the idea of sports teams acting like any other consumer of commercial real estate is clearly off.

1. Technically they weren’t as smart. Fetal and child nutrition is hugely important for brain development. Modern language is far more complex. Intellectual stimulation for children is far mote advanced.

2. Slow by who’s definition? It seems like they were doing lots of useful things in a pretty harsh environment. Cleverness for cavemen was measured in surviving and outcompeting other smart humans, hominids and predators. Language and culture got more and more complex and yeah they developed a long list of physical technology.

3. Intelligence isn’t sufficient to produce a lot of technology. For example, domesticating wild grains may require you to be sedentary which itself has other requirements and is something you don’t get when your survival depends on following herds of megafauna around. More than the tech tree often you need some sort of pressure like running out of new places to live and/or running out of the megafauna you’ve always chased.
> (Direct civilian losses by the hands of the invading force were less than 4,000.)

I can see that, in terms of direct civilian losses, the first gulf war was mild. However, I don't think it's in any way reasonable to only count direct deaths in a war that was devastating to civilian infrastructure.

While the effect of the war itself was muddied by the sanctions regime (which killed an enormous number of people), bombing civilian infrastructure obviously has a negative effect on civilian life expectancy. Academic treatments tend to push the numbers a lot higher (hundreds of thousands) due to the increases in child mortality, excess deaths, etc in post-war Iraq.

As for the DUP stuff, I don't have any particularly complex opinion. It seems somewhat obvious to me that heavy metals are typically poisonous, alpha-particle emitters are extremely poisonous, so my tendency would be to assume that spraying depleted uranium about is going to cause negative health outcomes, probably including cancer.

Personally, I think there is some merit to the idea of the first gulf war as a well-executed war, and if I was living in Iraq, I would probably rather live through that war than the 2003 invasion, or any number of other wars in the 20th century.

That said, if you compare two similar wars in terms of direct civilian casualty counts (Gulf war (3,664), Russo-Ukrainian war (3,393 so far)), the narrative could not be more different.

What's interesting about the first gulf war to me is not really the casualty counts (fairly typical, on all scales, to conflicts of a similar duration and intensity) but rather the success of the new model (embedded reporters, 24/7 news coverage) in controlling the media narrative.
Never understand why people imagine this progression. I love gaming, but wouldn't really see the need to implant a PS4 into my body even if it were small enough. And outside gaming and entertainment in general, VR just doesn't have any compelling use cases. Even in gaming, VR controls are still horrible, and games are actually more limited in the range of actions your character can take - since there just aren't enough buttons on any controller to simultaneously move and interact fully enough.

Not to mention that a good 10% or more of people get violently motion sick from using VR.
The first point makes no sense. Nobody's saying the dollar would become worth zero. Central banks around the world have huge reserves of USD. The dollar ceasing to be their reserve currency en masse (which I agree is highly unlikely) would involve them selling those reserves, which would affect the dollar's value. Falling value of USD implies rising prices in the US.

To the second point, yes for most countries there's no plausible alternative to USD. However, there's no law of nature that says the world has to have a single reserve currency. AIUI rather than the entire world switching away from the dollar the real risk is of fragmentation. Yes, most countries aren't going to suddenly stop using USD as their reserve currency. But Russia has had its USD central bank assets frozen. Their reserve currency is the currency of its biggest geopolitical opponent, who have demonstrated they are willing to use that fact as a weapon. Against that, RMB isn't necessarily so bad an option. That could be the beginning of establishing RMB as a global alternative reserve currency.

Edited to add: Firstly, AFAIK this picture of RMB becoming an alternative reserve currency isn't seen as all that likely, just a possibility, and secondly I'm the exact opposite of an expert on this stuff - just disagreeing with specific points based on what I've read.

Another edit: I also agree that the idea of bitcoin as a reserve currency is completely ridiculous and insane. Everything about bitcoin is ridiculous and insane, though.

Its both the opposite and the same, depending on the reviewer. I have two colleagues, one prefers reviewing the full changeset and one prefers reviewing commit by commit.

The first might be pretty happy to see a bundle of smaller patches, and the second would be very upset because his workflow is now X times larger if they want to request changes.
I just read that the prices aren't high all over the world. Which implies someone is just using the war to profit.
