It's useful in certain special circumstances where it's useful. It's probably not useful to you or most people.

It's just a very exotic and strange thing that does make some things possible which would otherwise be difficult or impractical some other way.

It can do essentially the same job as a zebra strip, with the following differendes:

Zebra strips are typically very thick blocks of silicone rubber. This is very thin tape.

Zebra are generally not adhesive. They're usually just a chunk of rubber that conducts electricity in two dimensions and insulates in one dimension, but the 3-part sandwich of pcb+zebra+part must be held in place mechanically (metal frames around lcd screens). This is double-sided adhesive tape.

Zebra conduct in two directions and insulate in one. They are useful in only one dimnsion. You can take a line of contacts and lay a zebra strip across them. The line can be curved or straight but it's sill essentially a single dimension which is along the line. IE the row of contacts could be say radiating lines and you could lay a zebra in a circle to cross tbose. What you can't have is a grid of dots or any other random arrangement of contacts, just a line. This tape however insulates in two dimensions and only conducts in only one dimension. It's like a tiny carpet of vertical conductors all insulated from each other. You can lay an inch square sheet of it right over a footprint of any random arrangement of contacts, and it conducts an exact image vertically up from each contact, but does not short between the contacts.

Some uses for that could be prototyping where you want to test components temporarily and conveniently without soldering. You just stick the components to the pcb with the magic tape and they actually work.

More likely uses are to connect things where soldering would be difficult or impossible. For instance connecting displays or ribbons to pcbs where the part may be glass with no metal to solder to, or delicate plastic film that would be destroyed by heat, etc. You can do that with zebra strips now, but this would allow packing in a whole lot more contacts into a smaller space. Or allow sticking components directly onto materials they can't be soldered to. Like sticking a chip directly onto the back of a glass display with no ribbon and no pcb.
For context: most of my professional experience is with Linux, recreational with FreeBSD. If I'd been shown the door for failing a litmus test I'd probably be more relieved than anything. Your flippant response validates that.

When I've been on the employer side of the interview table my priorities are: does this person have a rudimentary knowledge of the required subjects and what is their problem solving process like. Basically do they know enough to handle the majority of day to day things and know where to look and who to ask when something is beyond their knowledge. Arcane trivia is of little-to-no interest to me because nobody is going to memorize every single detail. There will always be surprises. And, yes, implementation details of the load average is arcane trivia – that's precisely why this article is/was on the front page of HN.

With the scenario you've put forth it's absolutely possible to hit the ground running without having to know the gory details of how the Linux kernel calculates load average. Surely you're already monitoring I/O activity and CPU usage alongside load average. And if you're not (tsk tsk) a competent candidate would know where to look for current system information, and how to respond to the information (e.g. is this elevated load average worth being concerned about in the first place?).

> Best way to show you are a motivated, quick study is by being a motivated, quick study.

The best advice I can give is to look for successes and not failures in your candidates. Asking something tantamount to a trick question. Asking them to work through a scenario where the load average is high and the CPU utilization is low is looking for success.
> My goal was to be able to compare decks to tell you which one was "better".

This would be a really out-of-the-box way to compensate for the deck quality bias I allude to in my other post -- normalize the effect of the deck on game outcomes by using a static "deck quality" score.

I suspect that coming up with halfway decent "deck quality scores" is an extremely difficult problem, though. It's not much of a leap from there to imagine using a computer to solve for the best possible deck in the format, the implications of which are terrifying for competitive Magic (and would be priceless to card speculators)
The article has several pictures in which you can see that conductive grains in the tape are relatively sparse in the tape, such that any given grain isn't in contact with any other grains.
Pointing out a diversity of viewpoints among Catholics is a poor way of refuting the existence of a diversity of viewpoints on the same point within the wider space of Christianity.
The existence of (relatively) recent fossils is probably the largest reason.
Looks like she maybe get python installed by IT, as she is a business analyst, in which case I am thinking pywingui or similar.

All the other suggestions are Ok,in their own context, but aren't really going to cut it one way or another.

There is no access to command prompt or powershell, the lockdown is like nothing I have ever seen, often if an app is going to be installed or system change made they courier the laptop back to IT and then back again. It's bizarre.
Ask HN: How do you manage your family's email?
Do you each individually use {Gmail|Outlook|Yahoo} and call it a day?

Do you have a family domain and then provide each member a unique email address? Self-hosted? Was your last name actually available as a .com domain or did you choose something different?

Do you do something else entirely?

> fair use is part of what keeps copyright enforcement from violating the first amendment

Fair use is the compromise the court set between the 1st Amendment and copyright; a few narrow carve-outs along the lines of "free speech zones" to serve as a pressure-relief valve undermining any real reform. The parts of copyright not overridden by fair use remain an obvious violation of the 1st Amendment—just to a marginally lesser degree. Only a full repeal of copyright could avoid the violation altogether.
Google Takes Down OSINT War Airbase Activity Dataset
> verified with registration cards and authorized with their mobile device biometrics

What does "verified" even mean here? At the end of the day, you need to convert it to some cryptographic key, and then that key is vulnerable to attack: either it's kept in the voting machine, in which case the machines themselves are a single point of failure, or else it's given to voters, in which case their insecure phones, computers, etc are easily compromised to get the keys.

Checking your votes doesn't help: a significant number of people do not vote. An attacker can submit votes on behalf of those people using their keys and noone will know, and even if you find someone who claimed that they didn't vote, how would you ever prove it either way?

The advantage of a physical system is that there is no single point of failure: changing the overall election result requires a physical presence at multiple polling locations. All electronic voting solutions are intrinsically worse in that respect.
They may have bet wrongly, as it seems Honda may have as well.

But I would not pledge to avoid Toyotas. Their quality is second to none, by a large margin.
The only invalid character in a path is \0 (which of course would terminate the string immediately), and a particular filename cannot contain /, or be "." or "..". Doesn't even have to be unicode. Literally any other bytes.
I'm not asking them to do it for free I'm like "please let me pay you for this".
Seems like you could sue the scraper for that, then? If they cause you damages by their unapproved actions, you have a tort claim.
Scripnix: Useful Python3 and bash shell scripts for macOS/BSD and *NIX

I feel like they just had an odd look to them, they are a KF94 design recertified as N95. But if you find them comfy when they make a good seal, that's what counts.

Some of the comfort may also be the breathability, Auras have a pretty low pressure diff between the inside and outside when in use. If you want that low pressure difference in a traditional N95 style, Indiana Face Mask makes some top notch high-filtration high-breathability N95s that are similar. Both they and the Auras usually test above 99.5% filtration, the Auras usually have a little bit of a petroleum smell but if it's bad enough that it makes the mask deeply unpleasant to wear, you probably have a fake (sometimes factory rejects get resold etc.).
Not op so not sure. But i think the logic here is sharing your idea with a powerhouse vc may get that idea leaked to their network and particularly, someone that can execute on it.

Is this really true? I guess I can believe it, but it seems strange that the United States is sending over $800 million in weaponry, but won't send over satellite imagery.

I mean, it's public data... you scrape it with your eyes whenever you view a web page, and your computer scrapes it in the browser. Saying web scraping should be illegal is like saying taking photos of buildings should be illegal.
We can walk around bias through self supervision with sampling techniques to select training pairs
That isn’t quite right. When you are appointed DRI at Apple it means you are responsible for getting that problem solved & you have the authority to move whatever mountains are in your way. I saw more people blamed for not supporting the DRI properly than I ever saw the DRI getting blamed for failing.

You usually don’t get that type of appointment unless leadership is confident you’re the right person to be successful at it anyway.
Haha, well, my undergrad was actually Economics and I assure you I am still an armchair economist!

Reading the annual notes / investment updates by certain more prolific managers can be useful, but they all have their own bias and honestly its not particularly insightful from an economics perspectives. (More finance than economics)
I heard of a creature like that. I think they are called human being. Someone who was assigned to a team of highly efficient robots that never make mistakes and produces bug-free code. Production defects? Yeah, it's obviously that guy's fault alone. /s

If I didn't know any better, it sounds like you are just using the guy as someone to conveniently blame.
As someone who's only recently made the switch from OpenBSD to NixOS due to work needing Linux, I have some thoughts on this. OpenBSD is very easy to reason about -- not too many things going on, and every little thing is documented. The system fits in your head and doesn't overwhelm you; it is predictable and sensible.

NixOS on the other hand: while I really like the idea of declaratively managing your entire system, the whole functional programming schtick isn't for me. I cannot for the life of me understand half the stuff I read (the Nix language, that is). I still don't see why all this couldn't have been written in say, Lua for example. Nix (and NixOS), is overwhelming.

That said, it's the least-shit of all Linux distros because it brings about the cohesion that others lack. I will continue to use it, at least for now.
This gets into old, old discussions we had at school in the 70's. There are ethics, which are fundamental properties of humans, and morals, which are constructs built on top of ethics. Ethics are shared amongst humans - don't kill, try to help, raise the next generation, preserve the last generation. These are the default conditions picked by the evolutionary pressure that got us here.

Morals, on the other hand, are constructs. Given by $GOD, constructed to understand why ethics exist, why there are certain trends that are shared - these were cited forming govts, etc.

Not saying these are grounded in the definitions of language or sociology, merely that these kinds of discussions were everpresent when people get together with time to think. In this case, it was uni. In Ancient Greece, it was the marketplace. To try again, consider ethics things which are done and morality is an attempt to explain WHY they are done. Fear of consequence, desire to gain, justification, ...
Well said. The Macbook touchpad is almost good enough to get me to use it without being mad. And that's a hell of an accomplishment, because for any other laptop, I'd prefer to simply not use the computer if I didn't have a mouse on me.
> Why? 50k years ago the average person lived with a small group of people and barely ever interacted with anyone else in the world.

I think at least some of the people in this thread would argue against that, seeing as how it is about the idea of advanced or at least extant cities in the distant past. That would be exactly one of the points being argued on.
Probably $1M on a capped SAFE. They’re unlikely to price rounds that early
New great products, in blue-ocean markets, creating new revenue sources, aren’t enough? For companies the size of 3M that “do everything”, do market traders just price in a certain stable rate of predicted innovation leading to geometric revenue growth / monopoly positioning / etc?
I am not sure what is the value of comparing the price of anything “adjusted for inflation” anymore to be honest - because an average salary, if it were “adjusted for inflation”, would be far larger than what you encounter in reality.
I wouldn’t try to use apt on Fedora. But a more serious reply would be to ask what you mean by “windowing systems” (I don’t know much about Fedora). I’ve found that Linux works best if you keep things simple. I use Debian with no “desktop”; just X11 and dwm as a window manager. This gets me a fast and responsive system on modest hardware, with almost all my RAM available to actually use. But aren’t there at least a half-dozen screenshot programs to choose from?
I figured he was aimed at genXers as his average listener is according to google in their late 40s
$GOD is both an environmental variable, set upon system initialization and the value contained in the $GOD environmental variable. It is the Alpha and Omega, set first upon startup and cleared last upon shutdown. Unfortunately, it's up to the user's shell to interpret it.
I do.

If this was the HN title I would not necessarily think about Big Tech.

Then when I began reading the blog post I would quickly see it is about media consolidation and the decline of local news, not about Big Tech intermediary (middleman) control over the delivery of media that some other entity has produced.

This is only Part 1, so there may be more about Big Tech in Parts 2 and 3.
The state? Buildings and bureaucrats? Now that's a low bar for 'god'. That's it? There isn't more to it? That's what all the fuzz is about?
Does having a paper trail generated exactly after voting help? This is the system that's followed in India. I tried to think of ways it could fail but it seemed pretty fool proof as far as I can think. I'm pretty sure I might have missed some corner case
>When people leave cities for suburbs, they're saying that they prefer suburbs to cities

Indeed, forget iconic. Places whose design is merely not utterly deranged are so rare in North America, yet so desired, that your choices are to be extremely wealthy or else to consume very little of them. You can't get the extra bedrooms to raise kids in reasonably hospitable urban settings because adults wiling to pay $2500/mo outnumber them.

People leave for the suburbs because they're cheap. They're cheap because they're abundant. They're abundant because of a comprehensive suite of restrictions and subsidies designed to make them so.

Wander down the El Camino Real. An endless ribbon of stroad, fast cars, parking lots, strip malls. A place whose sidewalks are a farce. A place that makes it very clear you are not mean to be outside your car except in the smallest doses. A place no one really likes driving, either. That's a choice. All that mileage could instead have the character of San Francisco's loveliest neighborhoods. Could be a place worth caring about. Could be community and home and identity and leisure. If you allowed it.

Yeah, same, in real life I never need my connection to download something local or have a video call locally. However, speed test pre-selected local server on the same ISP network, so it reported unbelievable and useless number.
Is there a specific place or way to find these infosec related posts? I've bounced hard off Mastodon a couple times in the past, maybe I just don't know where to look.
1. Most 18-22 year olds don’t really know what they want to do with their lives at that age.

2. Once they enter the workforce with a degree, they find they didn’t get a degree to necessarily learn how to do the specific set of jobs their degree focused on, but instead are able to do a lot of different jobs.

3. I work in a different field from both my undergrad as well as my graduate degrees. The skills I learned in both are highly sought after in most industries. Too often students aren’t taught how to land interviews in a wide search; they’re convinced they must focus on what their degree was in. This is patently false and schools could do a better job of teaching this to their students.
> 5 years ago, I think people set up domains for themselves (multiple emails for multiple uses) or for their group/family. Then, "let Google do it" reduced the workload. Now, it's "Email?!" as it seems to be age-related if it's even used.
There's already an Elo project for sanctioned events at the Grand Prix level and above: http://www.mtgeloproject.net/

It uses the public pairings and results that were published each round for events all the way back to the 90s. Unfortunately, there are less competitive MTG events these days, so most peoples' ratings stop in early 2020, but that's another topic altogether.
You can call them learning models, the same way our kids "learn" in environments that are also biased.
How about helicopters lifting things from the street to the roof of a skyscraper? With the spinning blades mere feet from giant windows with people on the other side?

(Look at around 12:30 for the most extreme)

I saw this kind of stuff multiple times when I lived in a high-rise. It's surreal to go out on your balcony, look down, and see a flying helicopter.
Ok, so what's the dividing line between human and a related hominin? We and neanderthals could and did cross-breed. Sure we could find a living example of something we've already classified as a different species, but are we certain that if we found living members of a kind we've never seen a fossil of we wouldn't just call them human and move on?

Hysteria over Omicron doesn’t make much sense, I wonder what the real agenda is.
Have some friends, have a discord server, have them there, do whatever you love with them and invite them to watch you or be with you etc.

Just do whatever you'd do, but with a camera, and try to be entertaining.

I watch gamers, programmers, crypto people, politics people. The only thing all of them have in common is that they are entertaining.
It sounds like if a web service allowed a user to upload a file with attacker-chosen filename, which it will then run zgrep on, it would be vulnerable.

Perhaps that's why?
Growing up 250m from where the Neandertals were found, I got to watch in real time as the common (or communicated) thinking on it evolved, from the image of the primitive brute to the model that, wearing a suit, wouldn't seem out of place sitting across the table from you at Starbucks. Assuming the later view to be closer to the truth, and also including the genetic evidence that quite a bit of mating happened between these branches, I believe the relationship would have been more familiar than the rare sightings of physically intimidating strangers that seem to form the core of the Sasquatch myth.

Can anyone tell me what this means for sites that proxy and display content from other sites? For example, if this were applied to a RSS reader (something like Google Reader), how would this ruling affect that service?
So that's how it works here in New Zealand - most people can go on line and fill out a 2-page web form, the IRD already has our equivalents to W2s, 1099s etc, you can look them over, make sure you think they're correct and effectively press a button - taxes done! And if you don't? then the IRD will do it for you anyway and send you a refund (with interest) or a bill.

Of course it's much easier for us because we have a much simpler tax system - virtually no exemptions - chances are if you have one job all year your employer got your tax right to the dollar.

I have to file in both countries, American taxes is like pulling teeth (the paper work side, I don't mind the actual paying of taxes, it's a civic duty after all)
The variants you're referring to are just changes in pronounciation not meaning. (It's called a qiraat and there are 10) It's like if someone from the UK and someone from San diego pronounce the same sentence. It will sound different because of their accent but it's the same thing. So I stand by what I say the quran is perfectly preserved.

If you want to dive in further here is a video that address the issue of what you linked : https://youtu.be/eTz96M1AkVo?t=400 There are many such online.

At the end of the day there is only one Quran with 114 chapters it's start with surat Al-Fatiha and ends with the last surat An-Nas.

Finally, I want to invite you to become a muslim. Meaning, I invite you to submit your will to the one and only creator the same one who sent Moses, Jesus and Mohammed (Peace be upon them all) so that you may attain eternal paradise and avoid hell. In the end you make your choice and I'm only here as a conveyor of the message.
Finally, a use for the Salton Sea. Good.
Or serialize to one line per message (custom format, or JSONLINEs work too), and write them to text files, one file per topic per day (or per hour if your traffic is high). It's a bit more code, but look at the advantages:

- Easy to examine data in any text editor

- Reading is easy in every major programming language.

- Easy to search for data given channel and time ranges (grep)

- If you want to reprocess every bit of data in a single channel, it's very fast. No network involved at all, and you are getting a whole bunch of lines in a single read() syscall.

- Simple and very fast to truncate old data, even if you want different truncation schedule per channel -- even if there is a lot of it.

- Simple to backup: existing file-based backup solutions just work.
