Finally, a computer optimised for COBOL.
There's a linux driver behind typical basebands. One driver, since there is no device discovery for platform devices.

The Librem 5 doesn't have one driver exposed to the baseband. It has every single USB driver in the kernel exposed to it, because the baseband can present any descriptors it feels like and engage whatever driver it wants, or a combination thereof by presenting itself as a composite USB device, since USB is plug&play. That is a massively larger attack surface. All you have to do is find one exploitable bug in any USB driver in Linux, and you're in.

This can be mitigated with USB descriptor filtering, but the Librem 5 guys haven't implemented that yet, because they don't actually care about security. So while their marketing department is lying about DMA access for the competition (heck, as far as I know no iPhone gas ever given the baseband unchecked DMA access to the system, but Purism claims they all do!), their engineering department can't even bother to lock down the attack surface of the baseband to something smaller than "every single USB driver in the kernel".

Also, for what it's worth, the Librem 5 doesn't even have an IOMMU at all. They can't even use the PCIe ports in their SoC because that would give whatever you plug into them full DMA to the system. This also means that driver bugs that result in bad DMA descriptors for embedded SoC devices will directly escalate to full memory access; there is no safeguard by having to engage the IOMMU subsystem first to map them.
Thats not a realistic option for COVID and the vaccines we have for it. Its a leaky vaccine (meaning you still get sick and spread it just as much) and the reduced likelihood for infection is nowhere near enough to get R0 under 1. Especially with every mutation (delta, omicron ...) having higher R0
> Shaming and shunning can easily be considered harassment in the right context

Shunning is never harassment. Shaming could be, but not on its own -- it would probably have to be either extraordinarily sustained/egregious and/or paired with credible threats to person or property.

Even emergent behavior that has the same effect as blatant harassment isn't harassment. I.e., sending one person 10K letters, some of which contain (even unspecific) threats, is CERTAINLY harassment. But if 10K people each send one letter, there are probably zero instances of harassment unless one of the letters is seriously egregious (e.g., contains specific and credible threats). And even then, the other 99,999 letters aren't instances of harassment.

Organized behavior might be. It depends on the amount of coordination. But probably the case is too difficult to take on.
As someone who went through this process intensely and was an avid reader of places like r/lawschooladmissions (which has a lot of people posting stats and results--could be interesting to datamine and analyze), I would say no.

The one exception is affirmative action; being Black or Mexican (it's not even really generally Hispanic, IIRC, just Mexican) or Native American has a quantifiable effect equivalent to like +10 LSAT, +.x GPA or something. It's quite unfair, IMO. But it's very mechanical. For example, undergrad school prestige matters only at the very margins. Better to have a 4.0 from rando state school and a 170 LSAT score than a 4.0 from Harvard and a 167 LSAT for most law schools.

There is a whole site where people post stats and admissions results that is central to people trying to go to top schools. Nobody was getting results that deviated greatly. The racial boost was also well quantified on there (you check a box if you're an applicable race).
> We want to live in a culture where a joke on the internet doesn't lead to a struggle session at work.

Everyone wants to do that, until they find themselves the target of a joke while struggling to have a good career, live in a nice place, and raise a family as a member of an unprivileged group with a lot of adverse baggage to overcome. Not everyone thinks such jokes are funny, and they have just as much a right to be pissed off about them as you think you have to make them. Getting along with your peers is an essential duty at most jobs, and that includes refraining from unnecessarily upsetting them.

Any sufficiently selective style guide is indistinguishable from a censor.

It's bizarrely hilarious how "Progressives" mirror religious fundamentalists, down to the particular language used to dispel accusations of censorship and closed-mindedness. "You can say whatever you like, just in ways we like (which will sometimes include you shutting up entirely)" looks painfully familiar for any closeted atheist.
You can certainly pour all these resources being spent on rendering 'hyper-realistic digital humans' into developing tools, workflows and processes that give artists power and utility for crafting wonderous worlds.
The article briefly notes there are other sources of 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine, but it's very brief:

> "Although the most concentrated source of 5-MeO-DMT is the Sonoran Desert toad, the compound is also produced by some plant species in Latin America, where it was traditionally used in snuffs."

The author fails to mention that these toads also contain an additional spectrum of toxins:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bufotenin#Toads

The plant-based snuffs containing 5-MeO-DMT, 5-OH-DMT, etc. in contrast are likely far safer, and have a very long history of use, for example the Cebil seed, Anandenanthera colubrina, has been used for thousands of years in the northwestern Argentine region of Puna. That would be a far better source for any therapeutic use than toads.

All in all, not a very well researched article, and overly sensationalist as well.
Bromptons are fantastic but there are many folding bikes with gears for much much less money. Decathlon Oxylane 120 retails for €289, with taxes, for example. It's not a Brompton, but for 1/4 of the price it doesn't need to be.
I'd suggest that openly discussing the fact that Ukraine has a huge neo nazi problem is responsible reporting. I'm frankly surprised the many BBC and other documentaries on this huge problem from the last few years have not been removed from youtube given the sudden transformation of Ukraine into white hats in the current 'western'.

This is why I read Taibbi, because the legacy media has lost so much credibility.
(It should go without saying the Russian invasion is obviously appalling and wrong but many people appear to have calcified into 'any criticism of Ukraine makes you a Russian 'apologist' etc etc)
Ken White agrees with you that there are disproportionate responses to speech on the Internet and, if you follow him, isn't any more amenable to struggle sessions than you are (see: his years-long advocacy of what Lukianoff is doing at FIRE).

The problem is that the NYT here managed to articulate a different, and stupid, problem: the eroding of our supposed right to speak without shame or shunning. The NYT's arguments are in a line of similar arguments that are not in fact about free speech, but rather the opposite: they purport to defend speech, but only selectively, and in the cases they don't defend, they're an appeal to shut down speech and voluntary association.

> Kubernetes has mostly focused on stateless applications so far. That's the easy part! The hard part is managing databases.

Kubernetes can absolutely host stateful applications. A StatefulSet is the app-level construct pretty much intended for exactly that use case. My company runs a distributed database on top of Kubernetes.

(We have another app that uses StatefulSets to maintain a cache across restarts, so that it can come up quickly, as it otherwise needs to sync a lot of data. But, it is technically stateless: we could just sync the entire dataset, which is only ~20 GiB, each time it starts, but that is wasteful, and it makes startup, and thus deployments of new code, quite slow. It would also push the limits of what an emptyDir can accommodate in our clusters' setup.)

(The biggest issue we've had, actually, with that, is that Azure supports NVMe, and Azure has AKS, but Azure — for God only knows what reason — apparently doesn't support combining the two. We'd love to do that, & have managed k8s & nice disks, but Azure forces us to choose. This is one of my chief gripes about Azure's services in general: they do not compose, and trying to compose them is just fraught with problems. But, that's an Azure issue, not a Kubernetes one.)
As a tangent to this, I highly recommend https://bloom.host for anyone looking for just a few cores worth of Ryzen performance. They’re primarily a gaming server host, but their general-purpose VPS are absolutely stellar, and the support is top-notch. I tested them out after they were recommended on another HN thread, and got a 3x speedup based on a few heavy postgres queries I benchmarked on a $20/mo Digital Ocean instance vs. a $20/mo Bloom instance.

Data center Ryzen really knocks it out of the park.
Similarly I like to get very cheap ($40-$70) round trip flights to random town and explore around. Unfortunately my uber from the airport to the town is usually more expensive than the flight. Most small towns don't have much in the way of airport buses.
My understanding is that Brompton have a patent on their particular fold configuration and so no one can copy it. I’m very much of the opinion that that fold is the most compact while keeping your cycling position close to that of a normal bike. Every other compact folding bike is fighting for a design against that patent, and it can’t be done. This looks to me like one of those designs, if the designers had been able to independently develop a fold without infringing Brompton they would have come up with something very similar to them, not this strange contraption.

You can see the Brompton influence, one pivoting wheel and folding cross bar with a 45deg hinge. But they have had to compromise in order to not infringe the design resulting in a very odd seat design.

I have spent many many hours trying to design a fold as good as Bromptons and haven’t managed too, it’s just too perfect.

Optery provides fantastic opt out guides with more on the way here:

https://www.optery.com/opt-out-guides/

To compare Removaly and Optery, the best thing to do is to sign up for each company’s free scan and compare the results. The quality of a data removal company’s free scan is a good indicator of the quality of its opt outs. A lot of the companies in the space have incredible marketing that creates high hopes, but their products are ineffective. The quality of the free scan is usually a tip off if the service is going to be a winner or a let-down before you turn over your credit card. Optery’s free scans produce an average of 70+ results per person (sometimes over 100+ results). I’m not aware of Removaly or any other company coming anywhere close to that number.
I think calling it a secret when it isn’t gave it a bad wrap. The last time I looked at the documentation it didn’t even clearly describe that it is not a secure object (that may have changed recently). Why call it a secret when it is not even close to one? I guess thing-to-store-secrets-if-you-use-rbac was too long.
"Popehat seems to be falling into the trap of thinking the precisely defining something will lead to clarity."

It's not a trap, it's essentially true. Clarity doesn't mean solvability, but reducing ambiguity, or at the very least getting some better consensual agreement on terms among adversaries usually helps flash out the discourse beyond tropes and jabs.
Yes, the promises of full automation have been around for at least a century, where we can go back to texts in the 20s, 30s, 40s, etc and see these claims of technical systems taking over work. In a lot of that rhetoric, the only problem is what happens to the superfluous human when that core block of identity - work - is removed. Of course, those promises have not materialized. There are many issues here in attempting to automate that huge constellation of tasks, gestures, roles, etc under the umbrella of 'work'. One growing area of work, as a quick example, is personal services - child care, elderly care, etc. This work is highly context sensitive, and often requires relational and affective labor, rather than repetitive, standardized, physical gestures. Many kinds of labor are non-trivial from a technical perspective.
Lots of signals coming from the VAERS system [1]? And a few studies to take a look at below. I'd be curious what folks think about these studies.

Yeah that's a good point. There is not a single person complaining about cancel culture today that wouldn't immediately join the snarling mob and try to cancel someone that argued something like "we should rape 1 year olds" or something like that, for example.

If we kept the arguments to "It is wrong to hate people just for holding the same opinion as 50% of the population", or "Hating someone for making a joke is wrong", it would make a lot more sense.

You know, the more I think about it, the fact that there are a large body of people who literally hate and want to destroy the lives of half the people living in the western world, simply because of their opinions about life, really rubs in how psychotically dangerous they are. It is amazing they are allowed to get away with their behavior. The reason is that people really are instinctively terrified of a ravenous mob (and rightly so), so they keep quite, but, in the age of the internet, there is less to fear from these mobs.

I've been wondering about that myself, but then it's occured to me that there are very poor countries where kids simply don't have access to no computers at all. The appeal of Pi in this situation is that you can program and prototype on the thing, and it's relatively affordable (well, at least it is supposed to be). For ESPs you'd need a separate device to write and upload the code.
> show me an example of how having 'spec' is going to help me refactor the code that I got wrong the first time, as easily as what a proto-ML-like static type checker does. It's not a question of "types are bad vs types are good thing". It's a question of "this property was called 'name', but now I need it to be 'names', and I really need to know every possible place of my code base that uses it so that I can recursively change all code paths to handle the fact that it's a list, now." I read the spec doc a dozen times, and I don't think it does help in this simplest of simple case.

For this, I think the way to go is to use `fdef` to annotate the arguments to each function. This is a lot more explicit keyboard-typing on the programmer's part, but then so is a statically-typed language.

Where I think Clojure will still come up short is in tooling to support finding each reference in a better way than grepping your project for `:user/name`. All the information you need is in there, as you can see from this proof-of-concept tool[0], but it's not implemented seamlessly into the workflow.

I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm a dark-skinned POC straight man that grew up in poverty (and that in the SFBA I feel like a unicorn, especially in my climbing gym where sometimes I'm the only dark-skinned POC for my entire workout).

> Feeling tense and unwelcome in a space where people disagree with you is totally normal and to be expected. A huge fraction of people grow up feeling exactly like that in virtually every space they inhabit.

I grew up very used to the idea of feeling unwelcome because of my skin color. I didn't and still do not feel the most comfortable in many spaces. That uncomfortability has made me keenly aware at how alienating the feeling is. When I see other people feel uncomfortable, I don't think "good now you feel how it's like to be me", I feel that humanity has lost yet another victim to intolerance. I do not think that normalizing this feeling helps anyone, even if the person feeling this pain is a straight, white man.

Moreover when someone hates me for my skin color (and perceived behaviors associated with my skin color), I certainly become uncomfortable and angry, but at the end of the day I realize it's something I cannot fundamentally change. My skin color and body type will stay with me for the rest of my life. But when people become uncomfortable by _my ideas_ that's what hurts more; I feel that people disapprove of the fruits of my own agency. It's why I've always felt so keenly for transgender folk who endure endless discrimination for simply choosing how to live their own lives.
And what little "security" features the Librem 5 has, they aren't even using. One of their engineers came at me with "we have RPMB!"

It's misleading because grammatically, what one would usually say in this situation is something like "Okta detected what it believed at the time was an unsuccessful attempt", because the statement's narrative is set in the present - and we now know the attack (not "attempt") was successful. Wording it as they did in their statement obfuscates the events that took place, and certainly reads like a deliberate attempt to downplay the severity of the breach.
