Tell HN: YouTube comments now display in sidebar
Not sure if its just some A/B testing, but youtube comments no longer displaying for me below the video at all since an hour ago. They all appear in a little box in the sidebar. On narrower screen widths it is a small truncated box below the video. Also top comment is selected by default, so only one comment is going to show on page load. This screws with full album track listings, requiring a click + reload on all videos to get a really small window to scrolling comments.
"Probably" seems the key word here. Many people have a slight preference for a policy with wide ranging ramifications. It's better to be unconvicted on matters that are inconsequential, like whether tea or coffee is the superior beverage.
> fork + threads is not undefined behavior. It is safe as long as you only do “async-signal safe” functions in the child. The child will be single-threaded.

Yes, but the async-signal-safe restriction is pretty severe, so you have to know what you're doing. Yes, that's also true of vfork(), but at least vfork() will be much faster.

> Non-multithreaded programs can fork() how they like and do whatever they want after (mostly).

Only as long as they haven't used libraries that are not fork-safe prior to calling fork(). And you still need to do things like fflush() stdio handles prior to fork()ing.
There is so much adaptation overlooked in any thing (item, experience, relationship, etc). becoming a thing of value, and so missing frames of references of this type occur frequently.

A friend got a great job, if I hadn't failed job interview X I would have a great job. Later you find your friend hated that job; your experience of the job you "missed" is unknown, etc. It's also part of survivor bias.

What would it have taken in advance for you to not cash in that early bitcoin that you didn't get (or lost) and didn't expect would become anything? Is that something you can prepare yourself for now? Is it worth preparing?

Deciding you have a financial portfolio, and framing that one part of it is risky, and another part is experimental, and then placing early bitcoin ownership as part of the experimental portion of your financial portfolio, and then later (as it becomes a larger percentage of the total) as part of the risky portion, and then looking for more situations that seem like it could fit this approach could possibly be one takeaway ... but it seems like a stretch.

You also have to avoid patterns that cause long-term failure but are misleading in the short term, such as buying and selling to realize gains, but then repeating ("it worked once") buying and selling until you have an overall loss. Like gamblers do. Sometimes they win, somethings they lose, but they lose overall by not ever stopping.

Also, how do you know someone who seems to have succeeded isn't simply in the "looks like success" portion of long-term failure? How would you avoid it?
And yet folks will keep using cloud services and multi tenant offerings until we have regulations forbidding multi tenant computing for sensitive data.
This is not entirely true. Or rather: it is true when the countermeasure is to add random delays to pad out overall timing, since one can simply collect more samples to obtain an average. And that may be what the OP is suggesting: just scale the frequency to random levels that are not quite the pre-programmed ones, which is very similar to adding random delays. (In practice this might actually work well enough to defeat delicate attacks.) However what I hoped the OP was suggesting is to add random instructions as a way to prevent the processor from switching power modes: sort of like tapping your phone screen occasionally to keep it from dimming.

There are also other (unrelated) techniques that use randomness to eliminate side channels. One of the most basic anti-timing-attack countermeasures is to use RSA blinding in which a base C is first randomized by computing C^r mod N before that (random) result is combined with the secret key. The randomness can then be removed from the final result. This defeats attacks that depend on choosing or knowing the value C.
Oh, it's that kind of backup? Then yes, your best bet is trying to fake out or patch out the checks. I assume you want to keep the real files private and not just upload them to the Internet. Does the computer you bought have the same backup software on it? If so, can you make a dummy backup with it and then upload that somewhere instead? Then someone could figure out how to crack that one, and you could then follow the same steps for the real one.
This is fantastic. How can western software engineers help?
> Assuming neglect among parents of children with ADHD is absolutely uncalled for, and contrary to my experience, where parents of children with ADHD are absolutely run ragged from years of trying to fight to keep their kids healthy, sane, and educated.

I never once suggested the parents were being neglectful in the sense they weren't giving it their all or trying their hardest. To your point, they're ragged, the ADHD children clearly need more work, etc. Further, I'm sure the "mental health professionals" recommended it to them.

I'm not going to share my personal experiences, but I truly do understand all of this and the struggle. I agree we have no proof about what causes ADHD, and those were all correlations. That said, I can say that in the past 100+ years our entire environment as a species has changed. We have some pretty unreasonable expectations on children and not all of them will want to build, some will want / need to lasso cattle, ride horses, hunt, etc (as we did for tens of thousands of years). They may not learn the way we structure our society, they may not respond well to the chemicals, the change in diet, what have you. It could simply be genetics.

The point I was trying to make was it's clear why depression is often correlated (there was no causation in this paper btw) with ADHD and ADHD drugs. Societal and family support is weaker than it was 80 years ago, there's lack of community, less dual-parent households, constantly being told "the world will end", etc That's kind of my point.

ADHD and depression are a disease, meaning they are a variety of symptoms that when presented together are diagnosed as impeding normal function. Those symptoms can have various causes and unless careful observation is made, it's possible to conflate or miss the cause, there may also be a multitude of causes. Treating the cause will "cure" the disease, much like you can cure (or at least dramatically reduce the risk of) type 2 diabetes with diet and exercise (the issue being your bodies ability to process glucose -- often due weight); but not Type 1 diabetes.

What I want to clarify is that I think this is a societal issue, but expressed it through personal observations. Having one parent clearly has an impact (less energy and capability to give to an ADHD child), having structured education, having screens, etc.

Give the example you stated around screen time; would your son be better off trying to learn to focus or playing outside? I honestly don't know for sure, but what is clear is that you care. I'm 100% sure you're doing your best to make that judgement call. My point, was that many times the parents don't care, they just want their kids out of their hair.

My general point was never to assign blame, it was to point out that diseases such as ADHD, Autism, depression, anxiety, etc to be diagnosed together. Further, that those diseases often correlate with some of the issues I highlighted. That doesn't mean it's all cases, but to ignore reality isn't going to help either. If we don't examine the causes and we just medicate -- it wont work well for the children. Medicate as needed, but if we can, we should try to cure the disease.

Then another entrepreneur who hasn't yet made $100M can start a business in the same space. If the market can bear both businesses, then they both win. If it can't, then they're in direct competition and we're still better off.

This actually sounds better than what we have now: monopoly as the end goal.
Did you consider the possible orders of magnitude of impact the two different actions would cause? This is not an apples to apples comparison.

I'd consider myself a "real" soccer fan in the U.S. I watch and support my local club, attend USL games when I travel to cities with teams in the US, and any time I'm internationally traveling I always attend a local match whether that's EPL West Ham/Crystal Palace, Union Berlin/St. Pauli in Bundesliga II, or FK Zalgiris/Kaunus in Lithuania -- yes I've been to all of those.

The loyalty is to the game and the beauty that can flash no matter the league play. I sat down to watch a couple minutes of Sunday league last month, kid scored a banger off the post with good team buildup, was fun to watch if slower than watching Real Madrid/Liverpool the week before. This tiering is silly and entertainment can be found wherever you look -- hell people watch college sports religiously and the quality difference is massive from their pro equivalents.

That said, MLS grows in quality every year, exponentially over the last 5. If that growth continues and develops young players, coupled with 320million person pool of potential athletes, MLS will be awash with money to grow itself. Even if it just reaches Championship level play that's a wonderfully entertaining level of football.
It’s entirely possible that he has used his unique position to make further gains on the crypto market. He may have also secured a loan on the basis of a future sale.
From a theory point of view, adding "bogus calculations at random places" would probably just increase the number of measurements required - it would introduce additional jitter above and beyond the large amount already accounted for in the attack documented in the paper, but the central limit/tendency over a large enough set of repeated measurements would still have multiple peaks.

Adding a minimum wall clock floor (i.e. simply waiting to release the decrypted data to a client until a given wall clock time has passed from initiation) would close the door on this particular remote exploitation, although it would leave the door open to local/hardware attacks (power, frequency-analysis, parallel process checking P-states as the oracle instead of overall timing).
> There are plenty of people in the world who would think that anything over $500/month is way more than enough for one person. Should your compensation be reduced to that amount?

Disclaimer: I live in a 3rd world country and my salary is 1/3 of what the standard US salary is.

YES, I do believe that everybody's compensation (including mine) who are in the top 10% of the population should be decreased/limited. Provided that their living costs are adjusted so that the $500/month get you similar standard of living to other nice places (say, Chile, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, etc).

The top 10% of the population hold 70% of the total wealth. That's just crazy and unsustainable. How the 90% of the population haven't turned on us is just sheer luck and a political, security system that is rigged in our favor.

I would be happy to be part of a "pay cut initiative" for all the top 10% earners, if it meant equalizing opportunities for everybody. I had the opportunity to grow up and be friends with poor people who just did not have the chance to succeed, so I don't believe the "poor people are just lazy" narrative. There's good hard working people that just never had a chance. Similarly how there is bad rich people that just want to leech from others.
I can add my anecdata to the pile. Treating my ADHD (with medication) helped eliminate most intrusive thought patterns that put me in a depressive spiral.

The meds are not without their side effects. Every now and then I take a break for a week or so just to reset my biology. As my problems with executive functioning return, so does the depression.

I think the moral of the story is that interaction with your doctor should be ongoing. You should not just get a prescription for Adderal or Ritalin and check back with them in 2 years.

Libraries like that should use pthread_atfork() to automatically reset/reseed/whatever state as needed at fork() time.

it's likely a loss leader strategy to get subscription numbers up. the long term goal is to replace cable... with cable-like appletv+. they're not expanding the pie, but rather fighting to capture existing pie, particularly against netflix & amazon, who they see as more direct competitors than traditional media companies. apple likes lives sports because there's no fan base to build up, and they get to just be a distributor (similar to music) rather than a content creator (which is a harder and riskier business). they don't like giving up editorial control, but they need the subscriber base.

frankly, i'm not a fan of this strategy as there's no synergy between the computing and content businesses, but apple has fallen for the relentless march to grow at all costs, and sees content as low-hanging fruit for them (again, i disagree with this assessment).

apple home, car, glasses, etc. make much more sense, but those are too slow growing for both professional and unprofessional investors alike.

I guess it's a problem when it's possible to isolate a particular cryptographic operation? For example on a server that's not particularly busy.
That was clearly not the point. The point is there's always someone with a different bar for what is excessive wealth. Chances are that 80%+ of the world population would find your income staggering, the same way you consider a billionaire's wealth staggering.

So how do you decide who's scale to use?
Does that necessarily mean that all is lost? It sounds possible to arbitrarily extend the time necessary. Don't we already do this when we choose encryption keys with lengths that take an arbitrary amount of time to crack by brute force?
What a fun read! :3 I really like your writing style. Deploying stuff to production is always so nerve-wracking, I related to that very hard. I recently developed a golang alternative to an old erlang-ruby-hodgepodge, and when it worked in production I found myself constantly not believing that nothing went wrong.

Imagine if billionaires had the same _effective_ tax rate we do. That would be helpful enough.
I never had a Mac in the 90s/early 2000s, but a lot of this still sounds pretty familiar as a passionate Palm OS user at the time:

No memory protection, no multitasking (not even threads!), more minimalistic than the competition at the time in many ways in its core features – but on the flip side, extremely extensible in almost every way.

As I later learned, PalmOS was heavily inspired by Mac OS!
Wealth taxes seem so dumb to me. In many cases it's forcing sale of private or public company ownership from those who know the company best often to - you guessed it - institutional investors. It's bad enough how much control institutional investors have, but to force it by law seems even more ridiculous.

There has to be a better solution.

> United States Imports from Russia of Fertilizers was US$1.28 Billion during 2021 [1]

> Using data on ship movements, real-time tracking of gas flows through pipelines and estimates based on historical monthly trade, the researchers reckoned Germany alone paid Russia about 9.1 billion euros for fossil fuel deliveries — mostly natural gas — in the first two months of the war. [2]

Let's not pretend these are comparable numbers.

It's not like the US is about to run out of food anyway. We're a massive exporter. The goal is to boost US food production enough that the 3rd world doesn't starve to death (and if food prices go through the roof, it also helps Russia). Frankly, if we were being ruthless about it, the US might be financially BETTER off if there was a worldwide grain shortage. We're still trying to stop it.

Germany is importing Russian natural gas to avoid turning on nuclear power plants for ideological reasons.

Buried in the 8th paragraph:

...spent the last two decades targeting an apoptosis mechanism that prevents “rogue” immune cells from causing diabetes or rejection of transplanted pancreatic islets by attaching a molecule called FasL to the islets’ surface.

The trick: they added an immune-cell killer to transplanted cells, so that the transplant isn't killed off the same way your original cells were.

Bonus: rather than adding "in rats", this one is at least "in cynomolgus monkeys".

Hang on to your Dexcoms and pumps because they're not going anywhere any time soon, but it's at least a realistic approach.
The bad news being that this deal seems designed to allow politicians to deploy revenge against companies who decline to amplify their propaganda.

No surprise, just like Uber , Airbnb etc..coinbase has been overstaffed ever since they raised a major amount of capital many years ago...

Hence , I don’t see what 5K people can be doing at coinbase since some startups in Europe are doing the same with like 100 people...

It’s been known for years : startups overhire and lay-off when recession comes up.

With the “nazi revolution” in the 50’ , most startups rely exclusively on “Social Darwinism” , to solve problems or improve products , by having them fight internally and let the best ideas come to executives. Of course only employees who know how to navigate corporate politics are able to reach them and win those fights..

Those 1000 were not part of it, but they will have no problem finding another position somewhere else.
I think the reference is about following the slogan, rather than developing tech. In other words, adding regulation to shut down fossil fuels (especially coal for energy) before being able to secure the economy with "clean" energy.

And of course, the misnomer of nuclear as dirty, rather than clean and efficient.
See Sri Lanka.
Whether billionaires should exist or should be able to buy hundred million dollar homes aside, the timing just plain looks bad. As mentioned in the other discussion thread, the price of his home is "enough to give everyone who was laid off slightly a severance of more than $120,000".

Obviously Armstrong was never going to give a dime of his personal net worth to an employee, much less a former one, but there are such a thing as optics and public opinion. The juxtaposition of that purchase with layoffs at his company just doesn't look good.

Not an asset class, but I'd draw parallels to Texas Hold 'Em. In 2003, Chris Moneymaker wins $2.5 million at the WSOP as an amateur who qualified through the internet; within a year, everyone is talking about hold 'em, their bankroll strategy, having poker nights with their buddies, how they're playing 12 tables at once online, etc. Culminates in massive mainstream acceptance, ads for Pokerstars running on major networks, and a major plot arc in a James Bond movie. But it turns out that nearly everyone is a loser in online poker; after all, at a 6 person table, only 1 person wins (well, 2nd place usually gets their entry fee back, but still). Very few people become Chris Moneymakers; most just lose a bit of cash, some their life savings.

Look at where hold 'em is now. It still exists, of course, but you don't see poker tournaments broadcast live on ESPN anymore. It's not even a very popular livestreaming category. It definitely went through a boom, then huge bust, and then a slide into... not really irrelevancy, just kind of a continued existence.

IMO, crypto is headed for the same fate. It will still be fun for a subset of people to gamble on altcoins, to pump and dump and run schemes of dubious legality. And just like I wouldn't count out a poker resurgence sometime in the next decade, I wouldn't count out another crypto spike in the future. People never stop loving easy money.

It's astonishing, the change that's happened since Ive has left.
I think this means you were paying for the over-provisioning i.e. paying for a full CPU or baremetal server?

"The Cloud" is all about vCPU - "2 vCPUs" feels somewhat standard for a base-tier VPS... and 2 vCPUs means "2 virtual CPUs" or rather "roughly equivalent to 2 CPU cores" I think. I understand that jargon to mean they are always cramming 11 x 2vCPU clients onto 20 physical cores.

For context, that is about $44m of severance that they are paying out as a part of these layoffs, if we assume about $150k average salary.
I expect this line of reasoning from corporate mouthpieces. To hear it from the mouth of a provider speaks to to your values.

I think the following quote applies here:

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
What happens to the excess is what’s interesting. And if it’s in volatile assets, how do you shave off the top? E.g. your stocks go way above the limit in a bubble but then crash by 50% right after you got taxed.

Engagement with MLS is somewhere close to zero.

Back when I was involved in coaching youth soccer I found the other coaches had never heard of the New England Revolution, New York Red Bulls, L.A. Galaxy, etc.

These folks were fans of man united but had no interest at all in US soccer.

Who knows? Maybe not having lockouts will mean that if some team starts playing well people will be able to watch it. MLS definitely needs something to happen to get people interested but it seems to me they should relegate the whole league.
