On a Windows account, a user can change the default browser for their own account. Therefore, a user can delegate the choice of default browser to the remote management. A user can record which sites their own browser visits. Therefore, a user can delegate that authority, allowing remote management to record which sites that user visits. A user does not have the authority to record which sites are visited by another user. Therefore, they cannot delegate that authority to remote management, because they themselves do not have it.

On ChromeOS, you can filter your own access to websites. You cannot filter other users' access to websites. But signing in to a remote management can filter other users' access to websites. This grants the remote management privileges that the user doesn't actually have.
Hopefully just air bursts. Probably being too optimistic.

It worked flawlessly so when I needed another two years later I didn't hesitate.

I'm using both right now to power my MBP (2018 13"), connect some peripherals and two external displays. Has been working flawlessly for years. I took it for granted. From this article and comments, looks like I got really lucky.

Looks like they don't make them anymore. I should have picked up a few more.
Those Dell ones that come with the XPS caused us endless problems at work. Higher res screens would just not work properly. The only one that consistently just worked was the apple HDMI/USB-A/USB-C charging dongle.
Rust on Espressif chips Q1 2022
Even in places with strictly limited access to guns (e.g. the U.K., Japan), you see the same pattern of men committing suicide at a higher rate than women. The hypothesis I find most compelling is that the intentions behind suicides are different between the sexes, though it's also likely that women are generally more hesitant to use methods that disfigure the body (and are more effective) than are men, even when intention is controlled for.
I think sexual assault is automatically associated internally with weakness. To admit that men can be sexually assaulted would need to first overcome that primal instinct that men are stronger.
Does this amount to doxxing though? Naming someone or a company in a public forum is one thing, posting their home address and phone number is different
> But even just taking the Ralph's example (which admittedly I should look into more), the impact of the truck being parked there seems like it should be essentially nonexistent.

Reserving any judgement on whether this is true or not, if it was, that's a problem with the jury determination of fault, not with comparative negligence, per se.

By avoiding sharp cutoffs, pure comparative negligence minimizes the risk of truly perverse results due to jury misassignment of fault. (Pure contributory negligence is the absolute worst for this, where finding something that had no contribution on the part of the person who suffered damage had even minimal contribution eliminates all recovery.)

> He was going to hit something, hard.

Maybe; I mean there are lots of ways a speeding vehicle with an intoxicated or otherwise medically incapacitated driver that has gone well onto the shoulder of an interstate can end up coming to a stop, and not all of them involve hitting something hard (though most of them aren't good, to be sure.)
Wow, the tool found that 30% of his video's comments were spam.
> Call into the school's board meeting during public comment, and make it loud and clear that the school is installing spyware on students' Chromebooks. Share your technical credentials and the method by which you found this.

Just some comments on the political aspect of this, since the HN crowd tends to not be so good at that part:

- Following this advice and using a tone that even resembles the tone of the comment or the original post will make you look/sound crazy. School boards (government boards in general) are used to seeing vocal, crazy people and are good at not taking crazy people seriously.

- “spyware” is not something non-technical understand. Just invoking spyware is going to make people think you’re crazy, not motivate them to fix the problem.

- Normal people do understand things like ownership and consent (approximately, anyway). It might be better to highlight the fact that you own the laptop, your child cannot possibly consent to such monitoring/software being installed, and that you weren’t notified.

- Normal people understand things like subscription costs - why should the school district be paying a third-party service to monitor a device that they don’t manage. By installing management software on your child’s device, are they assuming ownership and _liability_ for how that device is used outside of school?

- The whole chromebook=spyware doesn’t really make sense unless the only comparison is Linux; and if your kid doesn’t understand privacy issues on a chromebook, they definitely won’t have a good time with Linux. The IT department could have just as easily installed similar spyware for Windows or macOS.

Realistically what probably happened here is they have slightly clueless people who installed standard-issue software without thinking to check if the student actually owned the chromebook, because they probably dealt with a hundred other District-issued devices that day. When you run into that kind of bad outcome from human frailty, it is better to treat it as such rather than complain to the board that the sky is falling.
Not to mention the ergonomics of working at a laptop are so much worse than at a desktop.

"Strangely, one of most impactful moments towards reducing my recurring suicidal thoughts involved magic mushrooms."

From everything we know about the dramatic effectiveness of psychedelics in treating depression in adults, I am cautiously optimistic that one day they'll be shown to be as effective in children as well (given the right therapeutic protocol, set, and setting).
Setting aside the question of whether this is ethically good/okay, how does this count as doxxing? You're not de-identifying a pseudonymous person, or publishing private info like a home address, you're just saying something about a guy on the internet.
To be clear, you can and did remove it. The factory reset worked. You just can't login to the school account using the built-in Chrome browser. But I bet you could by installing a different browser using the Play Store or Crostini/Linux, just like you would on a PC. So try that before suing people.

Well it's shit data and is not actionable
The author agrees with you:

> Your own choices in these situations might go in different parts of the graph. I think it’s less about the specifics and more about understanding what it means to assert—but not baby—yourself, given who you are and what you need.

That's why the author proposes asking yourself "am I being avoidant?" In the mosh pit example, the answer might be "yes" if you trust that what applies to your friends applies to you. If you really are out of social energy, you might answer "no" and take a little extra time at the wine shop.

The substance here is "check in with yourself rather than automatically doing what's easy or comfortable" not "make the same decision I would."
Take them to smalls claims court for hacking your computer and making it useless.

Just the threat of getting lawyers involved will make the school and district blink.
This is the perfectly reasonable solution. But OP wants the operating system to be signed into an account managed by the organization without the organization having permission over anything, and since that's not the way ChromeOS works, they're going to sue the school board.

Honestly, I'm disappointed in the HN that they're taking OP at their word and giving legal advice.

Ironically, my older USB-A (2.0 and 1.1), HDMI and Ethernet cables and hubs all work fine, but every time I buy a new version (consumer/retail) there is always something wrong with them.

Bought a USB-A hub because I needed a few extra ports for low speed devices; didn't work... turns out all the D+ and D- lines had a very high resistance to the point there the USB protocol just wouldn't work. HDMI cable, didn't work for anything beyond 720p. Ethernet cable, didn't work beyond 100Mbit, turned out to be a crappy CCS/CCA cable, said copper on the packaging, had copper in the connectors. Cutting the cable showed it was just a clad cable and the ends were dipped so you can't see it in the connector.

And returning them, the replacements almost always had the same issue because it was a bad design in the first place and you just had to get lucky that you got the "least broken" one in the batch. It wasn't a price point thing either, all of them are just crap until you get to the "we cannot afford to shit on our brand name" products.
I'm currently waiting for the Ethereum vote to flood the market with used GPUs and then hopefully new ones will become more affordable, too.

And yes, I've also been burned multiple times by runaway AWS costs. Especially since you keep paying for CPU time for instances that are shut down but not fully deleted. That always struck me as odd and most other cloud providers handle that differently.

And yes, I would also assume that most AI persons don't have the systems expertise, which is kinda sad. But then again, most AI tutorials are buggy as hell, presumably for the same reason. For example https://huggingface.co/blog/wav2vec2-with-ngram

(yes, the people building the Huggingface AI toolkit) says:

"The 5-gram correctly includes a "Unknown" or <unk>, as well as a begin-of-sentence, 
 token, but no end-of-sentence, 
 token. This sadly has to be corrected currently after the build."

And then follows a cringe-worthy script to "fix" the missing 
 by rewriting a 100+ GB file in python. But actually, they are just using KenLM the wrong way. Once you put each sentence onto its own line - like the manual says - it produces the 
 just fine. And now I wonder if I still want to trust their python packages to do the right thing...

Tasmanian premier quits with 'empty tank'
I tossed one of those Satechi adapters because it crashed my home network whenever I unplugged the laptop. Apparently its ethernet port would repeat any packets received, creating a network loop. (!!) Their tech support did not seem concerned and suggested I unplug power when not in use. So much for one plug.

I embraced the two-plug paradigm and now use an Anker USB-C adapter _without_ power pass-through. It has worked well with both Windows and Mac laptops. Admittedly, I would not notice if ethernet capped at 300 Mbps.

https://github.com/thanatos/dotfiles/blob/master/shell/zsh/p...

I've tried to highlight roughly the relevant bits.

The basics of it is that we lazy-load an associative array between exit statuses that are signals and their prettified names. (Which we more or less build by querying Python, to get at what's, essentially, defined in signal.h.)

Once we have that assoc. array, when we get a non-zero exit, we see if it's in the array. If it is, look up the pretty name, print message. If not, just print message with raw exit status. Red & bold so it shows up. (Should probably also use bright red, too. But my work laptop is macOS, & so it's iTerm2, and iTerm2 interprets "bold" to mean "bright & bold".)

I also use zsh, which is able to be considerably more expressive in what it can accomplish in a PS1 than bash can. Note that the syntax,

${+VAR}

which appears in there is zsh-specific. It can be done in bash, but it isn't as neat. I don't recall if bash has associative arrays or just arrays, too…
Distractions like discussing “freedom” or “accessibility”?

> I don't think you're allowed to use company time to organize. I don't think its unreasonable to make people work when they're on the clock and remove distractions.

Amazon will basically work them until they have no free time except sleep then, preventing any worker solidarity or social bonds to form.

> Many are used to comfortable jobs where they can post memes on slack…

I feel like you’re trying to paint tech workers as a bunch of pampered pearl clutchers who have no experience with blue collar labor, but that completely ignores the fact that the Amazon factory workers - ie not cushy tech workers - started this effort to unionize because the working conditions are that bad. This shows that actually, no, an employer who won’t let you go to the restroom or even say the word “restroom” on their “chat app” is not normal, even for blue collar workers who you seem to think have no expectations of rights at all. This is not about posting “memes on slack.”
Look for monitors which advertise thunderbolt and a charging wattage. If it still doesn't work then just return it since it's defective.

I would guess that the rat race in that case is probably driven by the ability of the machine learning industry to pull people from academia. So the rat race is a literal one, with people trying to get hired by Google, Meta, and the like.

In general though, I am with you. I don’t understand why people are in such a hurry all the time these days. I have a personal principle that I move slow to move fast. Moving slow and methodically is almost always faster in the end.
People are living social creatures, they are not robots, and the pursuit to treat humans as APIs for units of productivity will lead to a predictable outcome of causing human misery.
Abraham Lincoln, True Crime Writer
There's only a limited amount of time one has. The private jet is to save time (convenience). In one of his interviews he talks about how he is always solving problems and his brain is running a million miles a minute. His brain is wired differently than most people. He has so many ideas running through his head. He doesn't have time to work on them all.

He doesn't have many expensive tastes. He doesn't live a life of luxury, he's not covered from head to toe in brand name clothes. He doesn't own a private island. He could care less about that stuff. Yes he has a huge ego but rightfully so. Look at all that he has accomplished against incredible odds (Tesla and SpaceX almost failing).

I do think he is genuinely trying to expand the realm of human consciousness and save the planet and create a backup plan for humans (colonizing Mars). Overall I think he is a net positive for mankind.

If anyone really thinks he is doing all this just to get rich needs to do some more research on him.
Note that this article is four years old. I was trying to figure out why the language I look after (Dart) looked so bad, but then I realized that the benchmark is using a completely obsolete (now removed) approach to FFI and running all the code in interpreted mode, rather than compiling it.

My point is that the only real argument for or against utilitarianism is whether you think it sounds correct. "I want the world to be like this" is where the whys ultimately end. If the killer argument against Kant was his reliance on God, this is not much of an upgrade.
> I did a full factory reset, signed in to his account again

I read this to mean that the software uninstalled after a factory reset, but signing back into the managed account re-installed it. I'm taking OP with a grain of salt here, but I think it's likely that OP doesn't understand their son's brand new Chromebook and that there's a technical solution that doesn't involve suing anyone.
Me too, although FWIW on Android I opened Drive, then to "Settings" under the hamburger menu, then "Notification Settings", then I unchecked the "Shared items" notifications.

That may not work for you if you want shared item notifications, but I already get bombarded by a million different notifications for everything (sometimes I hate the modern world) and I sure as hell don't want shared item notifications - if something is important enough that I should read it, the person who shared it to me will email me about it.
"Suicide is really easy if you actually want to die."

It's also really easy to screw it up, and many people do, some even after many attempts.

Not everybody is super diligent in researching the most effective methods, and some people may be genuine in their desire to die but are impulsive about it so may not choose the most effective method in their desperation to kill themselves now.

I'm not sure if we as outsiders are in any position to judge the sincerity of another's wish to die.

I didn't know about them before. That looks very usable and I'm truly astonished that someone was generous enough to pay for training such a large model and is now giving it away for free.

As for the memory requirements, I'm pretty sure one could split the model into different stages which can then execute one after another => You only need 8GB with 3 slices. I'm currently using something similar to squeeze a ~30GB wav2vec2 into a 12 GB RAM 1080 TI.

It would be one thing if your point was that billionaires should keep their grubby hands off of Twitter, but that's not what I see you to be saying here. You seem to just object to Scott being involved.

FWIW I was asking because the 3rd paragraph describes the Yeomanry as being founded to prevent invasion and "formed to serve only within Great Britain" and so I was curious if it was a special-purpose unit still (and I asked about civil disturbance as clearly at some point that was a function, but perhaps later civil rights changes prevent the use of the army for policing like in the USA).

But it doesn't really matter what my intention with the comment was, clearly I touched a nerve and most folks are replying on the ethics of the issue. That probably means that it is actually an interesting topic of discussion.
what if that person has a particularly identifiable name? It wouldnt be hard to guess who it was in that case by searching for their name on LinkedIn, noting their geographic history, and guessing at which (tech or otherwise) companies the manager has worked at.

What's more, a common name might mean multiple people get harassed via that same method due to poor detective skills.

I can tell immediately that you have never actually picked up a physics textbook. The main reason is that most physicists only have the most elementary understanding of the mathematics underlying what they are doing. This is for historical reasons because usually the physics came first, then the mathematicians came and cleaned everything up. The result is that every physics textbook teaches you exactly what you need to know and not a thing more.

Most physicists wouldn't understand group theory or lie groups any better than an undergrad having done the first 3 weeks of an algebra course. I'm telling you this because by listening to too much popular physics rather than actually reading a physics textbook you are going well on your way to becoming one of these people from the article.
