There are always stresses at work relating to the job that needs to be done, sure. I guess if you want to be a worker then academia would be stressful, because the job of professor is more like startup founder than employee.

While applying for grants can be stressful if you don’t get one, there’s always another. You get 3 attempts to apply for a CAREER award! The same goes for papers; if it’s rejected just shop it at the next venue and it’ll be accepted eventually if the research is quality. It can be stressful but no single thing is ever do or die. They say “publish ir perish” but academia is filled with 2nd and 3rd chances. I feel like a lot of the stress is self inflicted by type-a personalities who need to be perfect all the time, people who never got a B in their lives.

Even on tenure track, you know you’re guaranteed a job for 6 years as long as you are trying and making some progress. But if you aren’t performing at the level of getting tenure, that’s made clear way ahead of time in the (rare) cases I’ve seen in my department.

And even then, you still have the entire 1st party OS attack surface to play with. Which is just _huge_ specially considering this evil maid scenario implies you have a large amount of time with full control of the device itself and all its hardware.

These evil maid scenarios are so academical in nature by now, that there is practically no way to defend against them outside academia itself.

Turn SecureBoot off. Secure the UEFI and harddrive itself!

Requirements

State of he art UEFI implementation and usually a harddrive from the professional series. In case of a ThinkPad it should be possible for more than a decade.

How To

1.) Set an UEFI-Password to protect the UEFI (formerly BIOS) itself
2.) Set a Harddrive-Password within the UEFI, which requires a harddrive with built-in encryption

This protects the UEFI itself from manipulation, the bootloader, the kernel and the howl system. It is simple, therefore less error prone. Transparent to the operating-system, therefore any operating system is supported. It doesn't affect performance because professional harddrives actually encrypt always all data - they just don't ask for a key. You need to trust into the UEFI implementation and the harddrive manufacturer, which you hopefully do.

Bonus

No Certificate Authority (CA) and certificates involved. This reduces the error surface because it is error prone. You could even add LUKS (or whatever you prefer) on top of it. Because of the transparent built-in encryption you will not have a conflict. Probably a touch too much? But upon your decision.

Who doesn't love a graph? I do. As you commented elsewhere in this post, _"Actually, this is more for others than it is for me. I wanted to share my Pocket list with the world..."_ Essentially, this is an _information illustration_ of the cosmos of ideas inside your head. haha. That's cool.

How is it useful?

On the one hand, manually tagged data is the first phase of making data useful in many knowledge systems. On the other hand, algorithmically scraping resources and creating a graph from that data is going to be bananas complicated.

Here's what I'm curious about. Can your curated graph be used to pick out same clusters from a superset of links which include the second graph?

Sure, what I'm describing is a search problem. And it's about words whether they're in a string, vector, or graph structure. And that's all very interesting in it's own right. What's also interesting is a fuzzy search that's fuzzy in a graphy way. Is that a thing? I don't know, but I want to know.
Technically you could do that on the Moon, too. Kinda like one of those carnival rides with the seats on chains and a tower spinning everyone around.

Neither this article nor my personal experience with Tesla support your claim.

Having been involved in product design at startups & (very) large companies, I can unfortunately say this is what happens at most of the big Co's. Which is why we try to avoid working with large companies and rather partner up with Startups instead.

Story time...

This one time, I was reviewing a design with a client. We were going through this new page design in Figma. In the Zoom meeting, there were people from Marketing (SEO, Social, etc.), Legal, Product managers, developers, and a bunch more of which I don't even know why they joined the meeting.

What happens during those types of meetings is that someone, usually the person highest in rank, puts the following words on the table: "so what do you guys think, thoughts?".

That's where things start to get messy...

In a large corp, when the boss puts that question on the table, people start to feel itchy. They want to say something clever and impress the rest of the team. Automatically their starting point is: this design isn't good and needs my clever input, so I can impress the boss and put my stamp on the project.

The design that was basically approved by the same stakeholders over email, suddenly was getting 'feedback' from left and right.

'Make the font bigger'

'Make the font smaller'

'I don't like the shadows here'

'I really like how Competitor X, does it, can we do something exactly like that'.

I tried pushing back, but it was too late. I was getting swamped in seemingly clever input from people that were just trying to impress the next person.

We went back and designed 2 pages, one we thought was right, and the other one based on all the feedback that people were sharing.

Their CEO went with option 1 luckily, but it wasted a ton of time for no good reason.

Just looking at the PDF, I can imagine the conversations that lead to that 'design strategy'. Large design agencies know how to play this game, don't really care about great design and usually employ great story tellers to sell the idea to clients for big bucks.
If the media doesn't mention that the fertilizer ban was a "money saving" idea from one of the corrupt leaders, it's pretty myopic...

I don't see how your conclusion follows your premise.

> people tend to now buy cars for like 4-9L or $5000-$12000

Sure the majority of the sales are for cheaper models, but go to any tier-1 or tier-2 city and you'll see plenty of BMWs, Mercs, Audis, Jaguars, Land Rovers, and whatever else is under the sun. Like, stand on any random junction, and I guarantee that the won't even be a single minute where you won't be able to spot a >₹50 lakh car ($62000). Yes the sales numbers are objectively much lower, but still you see plenty of them.

> those prices are on the high end spectrum of the general market

Here's a sales analysis for May 2022. How many of those are in the price range you mentioned:
https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian-car-scene/252707-may-2...

People have moved past the ₹12 lakh mark a while ago. It's more like ₹25 lakhs now. I see plenty of Hyundais, Hondas, Kias, and Toyotas. None of them exactly have a cheap model anymore.

Heck, there's such a huge number of Toyota Innova/Crysta on the road that it's practically invisible now. And top end Crysta retails at ₹25 lakhs (≈ $31000).

> in that situation, it is not possible to add "features" that the people don't care about

Move up the price range and you start to see nonsense (in this country) features like heated seats. My E-class has a panoramic sunroof which I never open because the sun is scorching here, and the glass' greenhouse effect cooks everyone inside so the AC has to work harder.

> there are manufacturers who are failing NCAP testing and they are pushing to not make such testing mandatory because in their opinion

European manufacturers here have always done well in terms of safety. Not entirely sure about other Asian brands. As for Indian brands, new Tata and Mahindra cars pass GNCAP with 5 stars, though Maruti still has a lot to improve.
And if you need something simple, REST Client in VSCode is great for simple use cases.
the mention that they controlled for age also directly says they didn't correct for anything else. e.g. if for whatever reason the male study population has a significant shift into any direction (income, physical characteristics like height, weight, etc.) bam you're entire data set is essentially useless.

and this is almost certainly going to be the case. it's nigh impossible to get similar averages for all metrics in a male between female comparison.

the data is very valuable on its own. but once again I have no idea how they think it remotely allows them to draw the specific conclusions regarding causality that they do.

This is what I used to learn Rust, in tandem with The Book. I would read a chapter of The Book, then do a chapter of Herbert's Roguelike Tutorial. Very well written and fun material, that guides you deep into a tricky space with very little previous knowledge required. The maintainer is also very responsive to questions and pull requests. And has done an interesting talk[0] on procedural map generation at the annual 'Roguelike Celebration' conference[1] which is happening in October. (and for which the Call For Papers is still open)

Not really - inflation ended 300,000 years before galaxies began to form. Galaxies formed at a time when the expansion of the Universe was proceeding much more sedately.

This is so true. It’s a very beautifully expressed feeling I had trouble articulating before. Thank you for putting it into words like this.

It’s also ridiculous to me there is a push to “teach” these concepts to kids when it’s fairly obvious they’ll just abstract them away to something stupid like “man bad” or “white people bad”. I feel like it’s sort of like trying to explain to kids with no CS experience some nuanced tradeoff like, I don’t know, the CAP theorem for example. They’ll probably understand that if you go with AP instead of CP you risk losing data and that’s bad so now we always use CP. All they’ll be left of with is “AP bad, CP good”.

> Distros don't have to do anything distro-specific to get signed. Most distros use (Microsoft-signed) shim to chainload to something like grub.

You still have to get your own version of shim signed if you want your distro to boot "Scary Boot Prompt"-free. I.e. if you just use RedHat's version of shim, that shim will transparently boot RedHat signed kernels, but refuse to boot SuSE's -- unless you whitelist SuSE's key manually into shim. It's not ideal in any way.

Agreed. I realized recently that planets not only need a goldilocks configuration but likely also need to have a liquid metal core to create a protective magnetic field.

It would still occur quite a bit, and some planets with a protective field likely still produce simple life forms.
Ask HN: Good private email host with IMAP?
I'm looking for suggestions for an email host that includes IMAP access: my wife is very attached to the Gmail interface (web and phone), and so I need to cover that in the transition (and maybe convince her otherwise in the long run). That sadly immediately rules out Protonmail.

Bonus points for EU jurisdiction, and a mail interface that doesn't look like the 90s (for my use).
> A "kill switch" that engages upon unauthorized access to an office or a server rack

Wouldn't a raid by police (at least if they have a warrant) be "authorized access" because they are law enforcement?

At the very least, they could trigger the kill switch when the raid first happens, but once it has been verified it is the police, the kill switch should be disengaged so they have full access.

> Uber’s real impact has been to make life worse for virtually everyone it touches.

Actually, Uber has been great for consumers. Being able to travel internationally and still have a single app that can do your transport is amazing.

In addition, there is data that Uber cuts down on drunk driving and the associated trauma and deaths.

We are rapidly moving towards Feudalism.

If someone can charge you for using things you already bought and 'own', then average man has no property rights. The fee could be increased at any time, or new fees could be introduced.

As the housing crysis deepens, average person will never own a home either.

So average person will be in the same position as a medieval serf, conpletely dependand on the whims of the lord, probably living in debt starting from the student loan and dying in debt.

> Heck even most Burger King stores have kiosks that are replacing people.

These things are a godsend, for multiple reasons:

- no wasting time trying to establish a common language with the cashiers, particularly when you're not in your home country

- no nearly exploding in line behind a ten people group haggling with the cashier over how many cheeseburgers they want

- if you are in a large group, the inverse of the above: no need to fear pissing off everyone behind you

- you actually see your entire order prior to payment and can make sure the cashier didn't fail to register an item
Yeah, the same clowns who decided that the proper noun the Internet should be capitalized the the same way as the adjective internet (as in internet protocols). I’m not sure I would consider their reasoning, well, reasonable.
> If you have the skillset to install an OS

This is an extremely weird argument. So called Live CDs come from an era where CD drives were ubiquitous and even back then installing an OS (provided you did not want to install two OSes at the same time) was as simple as installing any other piece of software. If anything, with all these secure boot shenanigans it requires more skill to install an OS than when a smartphone was not even a thing. This argument advocates for walled-garden IT. This argument used in support of restrictions under the hood arguments for IT stuff to be hard in principle.

> We can see it again here - Uber drivers are literally bringing their own car, but seem incapable of producing their own app and marketing structure.

You seem to be under the impression that Uber drivers are people with the time and money to engage in risk pursuits that cost upfront cash, with a hope of a long term payoff.

Most Uber drivers are looking for cash now, to fill their already empty pockets. In many cases Uber is little more than terribly priced equity release tool, turning the capital cost of your car and fuel back into liquid cash. If these people had the capital and time to build a business, they wouldn’t be exploited by Uber.
