> In a place like the United States, there is a racial dimension to what is considered “universal.”

The Buddha of the Pali Canon explicitly and unambiguously rejected racial classifications; the Dharma is for all sentient beings, full stop. Vasettha Sutta (Sn. 3.9); Kannakatthala Sutta (MN 90); Assalayana Sutta (MN 93). From these and from suttas like the Tama Sutta (AN 4:85) and "An Outcaste" (Sn 1.7), the message is clear: one's birth (or social status) can neither exonerate immoral acts nor negate virtuous conduct. I find it notable that Chen pauses to point out how Western individualism contradicts the "Buddhist principle of no-self" but apparently never pauses to think whether she is herself reifying the concept of race beyond what the Buddha-word can support (race is closely related to concepts of self and identity, if you believe Intersectionality.)

Possibly the reason "white Buddhism" is an "unregulated market" is that in America we have the freedom to worship as we choose without the intervention of busybodies checking our skin color.

edit: I follow Theravada and recognize that most of the converts to Buddhism she is criticizing, follow an Americanized form of Mahayana.

> Getting on the FAANG career ladder too early is probably very limiting

I can’t help but at chuckle at this with how big a barrier there is in comp between faang and non faang companies. You can get in if you spend months studying again or have a job that legitimately has you using comp sci on a day to day basis but for most folks they are gonna forget the skills needed to get a faang job shortly after college if they don’t get into one
So the companies that actively sucked up all the new graduates because of the glut of cash now have to learn frugality. Poetic, don't you think? It's not even a sign of bad times - the times are totally normal. What was happening was abnormal.

A software engineer who does't care about gaming the FAANG Leetcode interview process is still valuable - even more valuable.
at least they have a number to call. it may not help you much - 'did you try signing off and then signing on again' - but it's something.

If you use fertilizers and expect a bumper crop every harvest, eventually the soil gets fucked to a point where amendments to make it viable are too expensive, getting to a point where the soil loses integrity and is unusable.

To keep land arable in the longer term, you need to do crop/usage rotation, no-till farming, etc.

There are probably WebAssembly-specific things I am unaware of. So, the following is a general "TCO" discussion.

I normally consider TCO something that is a compiler feature. Replace a call to the head of yourself, with a jump (possibly to just after the "pull the arguments from the call stack to where the code wants it" prologue), making sure that the correct locals are present where they need to be.

Well, that's for self-TCO. General TCO is definitely trickier (probably requires juggling stack allocations so as to ensure that the tail-called function has enough space for all that it needs).
No, that was the point of the attempt to reform the voting system to better reflect "the will of the people" that the team behind brexit defeated.
Ask HN: Which VPS provider will survive the coming winter?
Hi,

I live in France and the government is preparing a law to be able to cut electricity this winter, so I guess my OVH VPS in Gravelines isn't assured to run 24/7.

On it I run a small website with about 1000 visits per day. It's not vital that it remains up at all times (it doesn't bring money) but if I can do it for cheap I'm looking to relocate this VPS in a country where electricity won't be a problem.

Anything in Europe seems as bleak as France. Not sure about the US. Even Finland that has its own nuclear power plants is preparing to ration electricity.

The only country that has cheap energy seems to be Russia, but I can't get a VPS there for obvious reasons.

Any suggestions?

Just no. This idea that people are not allowed to learn by doing things and must read huge books first is absurd. The guidelines for learning you gave here are impractical for majority of people who are interested. It is actually good when people are trying to learn about security.

I also watch MIT courses to learn system programming. I don’t care about earning a degree. Just watching it for the pleasure of it.

1) long range replay attack are what is a real issue, and is solved by bi-dir fobs. Only thing keeping them out of the market as a default is price. Issue described in the article is far less of a concern than what you mentioned, I put it in the category of Intel's Spectra - where if you already have such physical access to the device/CPU, there are easier ways...

2) Price - just the MCU is more than 10+ USD. Those MCUs are basically ASICs with a lot of stuff integrated (plus - automotive rating). Precise and stable OCX doesn't come cheap either...

3)There is no single chip solution in the automotive market that would integrate all functions (LF Rx, RF Tx+RX, transponder Rx+Tx). Additionally, RF bi-dir + passive LF is power hungry, and getting a year out of your standard CR2032 forget about it - so a more expensive power source needs to be used...

4)NFC is basically just only one of the aforementioned functions - similar to transponder Rx+Tx.

5) Oh it needs writable nonvolatile memory for a lot of reasons... - configuration to cover different vehicle/market/protocol variants, DTC, Secret Keys for pairing, unless you want your fob replacement price to skyrocket...

Regarding fob price - keep in mind it's not just the electronics, although automotive MCUs have harder requirements to satisfy (op. range of temperature, voltage, very low quiescent current, very low ppm failures). Mechanics are expensive, although deceiving when you look at them. Keep in mind they go through some pretty nasty tests - including (and I kid you not) a washing machine test - basically testing if it will survive a washing machine.
Tying two threads together.

This Atlas Obscura article mentions:

> the OSS commandos pioneered lightweight and compact rebreathers, such as the Lambertsen Amphibious Respiratory Unit (LARU)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambertsen_Amphibious_Respirat... says:

> The LARU is what the initials SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) originally meant; Lambertsen changed his invention's name to SCUBA in 1952;[2] but later "SCUBA", gradually changing to "scuba", came to mean (first in the USA) any self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.

Looks like the Navy wasn't interested in the LARU, while the OSS was.

"Up Periscope" refers to both a rebreather (presumably LARU) and the open-circuit Aqua-Lung, which you can see at https://archive.org/details/upperiscope00whit/page/150/mode/... :

> He liked the Aqua-Lung immediately. He found that it was much easier to control his depth than with the rebreather and there was no taste in the air he breathed.

In any case, the story takes place in 1943 ("Other ships were rusting, burned-out hulks as a result of the Japanese sneak attack on that Sunday morning almost two years ago."), while 'The Aqua-Lung was invented in France during the winter of 1942–1943' (Wikipedia).

The patent, in German-occupied France, was issued "some weeks later in 1943", so it's nominally possible that the idea could have made it to the US by the time the story takes place. However, Wikipedia adds that Cousteau coined the name Aqua-Lung to sell to English-speaking markets, which would mean post-D-day at the earliest, not 1943.

I'd say that it's about as much wiki as it is blog, because the timeline feature that separates a blog from a pre-blog "homepage" is hidden to the point of being missing.

Makes me wonder how an "alternate history wikipedia" would be like, where pages had explicit maintainers and the cotton fork model. The process for selecting the current leading fork would obviously be a huge source of endless drama, but I'd expect that this would end up a much better "reader experience" than the current model of edit wars where the uninitiated can't really tell an edit history with the occasional trolling/untrolling loop from an outright battleground.

From my small experience of Ghidra, it didn't do great once the code was not using standard calling conventions (i.e it was probably compiled with optimization flags )

Sometimes it would just straight up ignore (functional) assembly for apparently no reason. Or it would turn simple code into a myriad of nested conditionals and loops, achieving the same goal, but looking nothing like a human would write.

It was still very helpful in understanding blocks of assembly much faster than I otherwise would, and it's possible I was lacking some configuration that a more experienced user could do to help the decompiler out.

Except when they are not willing, which is most often the case. They restructure when things are seemly fine but if shit hits the fan like in the case of Sri Lanka, they wont discuss it.

Agreed, that was a legendary acquisition.

That being said, I think it was not a mistake for the previous owner(s) to sell at the time. Priceline had cash, and the marketing heavy ("buy ads in January, stay in summer, bill hotel at the end of the month after the stay") business had significant cash flow challenges in terms of growth.

When I joined in late 2010, Booking still seemed to be viewed as a bit of a poorly understood miracle by the group folks, growing nearly 2x every year. Certainly the engineering department was so much less... corporate... than the mothership's that we were sometimes referred to as the cowboys in Amsterdam.

Shortly thereafter, they hired Darren Huston to run Booking, who relatively soon after that (like 24 months? I'm sure Google search will find that answer) also became the group CEO, all based in Amsterdam. At the latest then, Booking would have been officially the core of the company, even though it had been the growth motor for well longer.

Historically, the benefits offered by Priceline group to booking were IMO chiefly aforementioned cash flow for growth, and shared technical infrastructure (WAN, shared colo space). Booking had outgrown the group infrastructure team's ability to scale. The perpetual culture clash eventually led to the central infrastructure group being broken up (very much an outcome driven by the booking CTO, Brendan Bank). So we built our own network and DC team since we had far, far outgrown the infrastructure needs of other group companies.

For a long time, Booking was so focused on only doing things that were strictly measurable and attributable that we didn't do any brand advertising or classical marketing (cf. quantitative fallacy). We co-grew with Google search ads in particular and had built very significant tooling around AdWords since the Google provided infrastructure didn't scale. Unofficially, we were the largest ads customer for a long time spending billions annually at useful ROI.
This "stealth mode" meant that we weren't getting a lot of DDoS type threats to deal with for example and likely less fraud risk. It also meant that we always chuckled in earnings calls when analysts praised the "Priceline business being very successful overseas". Eventually reality caught up and PCLN became BKNG - Booking Holdings.

Sigh …

Listen, sorry I asked. I originally asked, because I was under the impression that the photo selection was the result of an algorithm, and I actually shared an example, from my own life, that established a context for the question.

In my testing, I went through dozens of photos, and, in my testing, they all came up white, so it’s not surprising that I would have the idea that there was some … homogeneity … to the dataset.

I quickly found out, due to comments, that the selection was done manually, and that the dataset was not completely homogenous, rendering my question moot. In fact, I even added a comment, to that effect.

But by that time, it was too late. The torches and pitchforks were out. As it is standard practice, on the Internet, to jump to wild, cartoonish, hilariously wrong, conclusions about people, I set myself up for that.

Basically, I made the same mistake as you: an inaccurate assumption, based on insufficient data.

I won’t make this mistake again.

Have a great day.
My opinion on this is somewhat controversial, or at least non-mainstream, I think. I'd say that responsibility and power are perpendicular. One way to put it is that you can respond to anything: responsibility in my mind is nothing more than acknowledging that something is part of your world. Another way I approach it is that I can't honestly differentiate between "I can't" and "I won't": this mindset can get pretty esoteric, but think of it this way: most "I can'ts", when you dig down, are actually "I won'ts". When you ask yourself why you can't do something, usually the answer will be that it's because you can't do something that depends on, and something that depends on, and so on, but eventually you get down to a root "I won't" or "I'm unwilling". Then suddenly the feeling of powerlessness stops, and you realise that you're just avoiding something.
The quickest way to achieve defeat is to convince yourself that you have already lost.
