So this controversy started with people protesting pro-trans books. Did the library carry any anti-trans books, like Irreversible Damage? (As a nice big radioactive example)

If so, being able to point to things like that would (IMO) be a good political tool in situations like this. "We're neutral and carry both sides" goes over better than "we carry books with the correct opinions, how dare you ask us to remove them" - and the best response to bad speech is more speech anyways.
This is democracy in action.
If he isn't forced to buy it, then he was given a free multi billion dollar call option, paid for by Twitter shareholders. That's effectively theft.
A disingenuously paraphrasing quote?

Sure thing.

But I'm not espousing my values, but values vital to the continuation of life.

Values that have been around for thousands of millions of years.

Perhaps there's the potential for this to change, but it'll just be fertility in another form.
So, the problem I see here is when spammers abuse someone else's machine to conduct activity like this, and all those random people get their IP addresses blocked by your system.

And how would the legitimate owner of that IP address ever know how to contact you to get removed from your blacklist?
At some point, near future, text bots will seem so real that we will become emotionally attached to them. The movie HER was thought of as fantasy. It seems like it was a predictor of the future now. Imagine, millions of people being emotionally attached to a text bot and then having it go away because the company dissolves. Or worse, a company having so much power that they can manipulate millions via the company's text bot because people believe it's real. And this will happen without there being a true general AI. It's going to be strange. And it will happen. I have no doubt.
I would argue that it's because DMV is in charge of car dealerships... But doesn't Tesla not have legal dealerships?
If I bought Twitter shares today ($42) would Musk be forced to also buy my shares at $52 if the sale was forced through?
Are you writing off 2fa as a whole, or just sms? Aside from full database breach, why would requiring me to use a security key, or authenticator app be a bad idea? Physical theft is a lot harder (even just due to physical distance from a hacker) than stealing my password, which can happen at any distance
Imagine buying a Facebook neuralink and having then datamine your thoughts.
Not sure about the disclosure, having a grudge with djb is not particularly a minority thing.
I'd expect they'd pay even 2-3x that easily since a robot can work 24/7. The squishy humans need to pee, or worse go home.
Looks like the YC v A16Z feud is really heating up.
I do care! I cheer up on any blow into an authoritarian and tyrant regime. I think it well worth it.
Test that the web UI works for the large number of customers running a browser on windows?

Yes, AllegroServe is Allegro specific, but there is Portable AllegroServe: http://portableaserve.sourceforge.net/

It's the same situation as OpenSSH. OpenSSH only runs on OpenBSD, and Portable OpenSSH is maintained separately.
I worked at a luxury dealership that also had a full electric. Teslas were constantly trade in by fancy people that were disillusioned by how terrible a Tesla is inside. Even to me as a car salesman, a Tesla is just a fancy commute car. It sure isn't a luxury vehicle. So get off your high horse.
Humans are pretty unique in being (relatively) hairless and sweating as our primary method of keeping cool. Sweat invited bacteria and traps dirt. I’m no anthropologist but I’d guess manual bathing became a regular thing when early humans developed these traits.
If it was a cultural value to feed people outside of the home before yourself and food donation was a cultural promoted ideology then that means there were lots of people to feed..
> We're neutral and carry both sides

Very often, they are not neutral.

Go to your local library's website, and check out the new arrivals section. Most likely, the political bias will be very evident.

Then go to the page where the list the board members, and Google their political affiliation.

Finally, if you are still not convinced, send them an FOIA request to see what books they are discarding from the catalogue.
Wish more people understood this. We spend a lot of time changing tools and it's as bad or worse than context switching. Every tool has a learning curve and if you keep switching tools, you are always stuck in the initial part of the learning curve. I think this greatly hampers learning.

Hyper productive people who I have seen as well exhibit similar behavior. They just stick to tools that they are comfortable with and focus on the task at hand.

Also another anecdotal observation - some of the best chefs I have seen don't usually switch tools, be it knives or utensils. They mostly stick to the same tools for a very long time. So they invest in tools that can last and can be maintained. Not sure if the analogy holds true in other fields as well.

Pen and paper as a form of expressing streaming thoughts works for me as well. It also works because I write a lot slower than I can type. Ever since I have started writing pretty consistently over the last 4-5 months, the format of pen and paper doesn't really matter to me. I can write using any pen and any paper. I have found fountain pens to be particularly cumbersome to maintain and also my kids just take whatever pen is on my table and run off. As a result I just have a 100s pack of the same cheap pen. One went missing, pick up another one.
Because Musk thinks he’s a god, he can distort the reality around him and do whatever he wants with no consequences.

And TBH, he has all the reasons to think so. He’s been openly lying about so many aspects of his businesses for a long time, manipulating markets, ignoring all the rules and regulations and only thing it resulted in, was making him wealthiest man in the world.
>The use of phone verification to login or sign up, is a solution looking for a problem and it solves nothing as it creates more problems

It increases the cost of attacking twitter. It does work eslse they would not annoy users by asking for it.
That was the only real benefit of having a mac in my experience - they were always a niche and off the radar and didn't have the 20 different security tools on them crippling performance like the Windows SOE.

Thankfully WSL2 on Windows is now an option, its also off the radar so whatever happens inside the Linux VM doesn't cop a performance hit.
The person in the blogpost created an emulator, all for free public consumption.

Critics add value to things by building meaning around them. There many films which I enjoy reviews and analysis of more than the work itself. If you are so ascerbic toward peanut galleries it is a bit odd that you browse hackernews.
Ohh staap. Then there never ever were socialists to begin with in history, because 100% of the time they tried it ended up the same. But of course these all were wrong socialists and next time, surely, it would be different. One must be extremely deluded or extremely ignorant to believe that.
> except international recognition of the territory and the amount of sovereignty it has

You can be 100% sovereign and be a buffer state and 0% sovereign and not be one (see French Polynesia)

> It is about geopolitical situation, where states A and C happen to have state B between them

then Germany is a buffer state, Poland is a buffer state, Israel is a buffer state, Afghanistan is a buffer state. Sweden is a buffer state, Finland is a buffer state, Bulgaria is a buffer state, Switzerland is a buffer state, Mongolia is a buffer state, Canada is a buffer state etc.

except that

Ukraine has been described as a buffer state between Russia and the NATO bloc, at least up to the ousting of former President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014

We let them be an independent Nation when they agreed to become a kinda democratic country.

Donbass is the buffer state there, between Ukraine and Russia.

As far as we are concerned, Russia is not at war with Europe or NATO, but with Ukraine, for reasons belonging entirely to a Russian-Ukraine conflict.

A buffer state is a "neutral area" that two powers agree on, Russia never really agreed on Ukraine independence and tried to make it a buffer between them and NATO. If Russia wins the war against Ukraine, then Ukraine will become a buffer state.

If Ukraine was really a buffer state, we would be at war with Russia now, we surely would be if Russia attacked Finland or Sweden or Bulgaria or Romania or Poland, because it's Europe, or if USSR entered west Germany or when Iraq invaded Kuwait etc. etc.

What happened when Yugoslavia (a buffer state) dissolved?

Do you really believe USA would have missed a chance to go to war, given the motivation?
Thanks for letting all of us know..
Propaganda, the same way the "phobia" in homophobia is also propaganda.
I've heard this dynamic mentioned many times by politician and pundits, regarding reactions by groups to satire that could only be construed as the group being completely oblivious to the satiric character. It seems a sizable fraction of the population doesn't get satire. In this current epoch they also seem to skew conservative, but certainly there are many who lean in other directions and likewise aren't capable of recognizing satire. (We might say they choose not to see it, but I'm not sure that's a meaningful distinction at the end of the day.) The apparent conservative bent might simply be because satire is usually employed by cultural and academic elites, who skew liberal by a significant margin these days. In any event, it seems to be a real and important dynamic, and for anyone earnestly advocating some policy, satire is best confined to narrow audiences, or preferably not at all given how difficult it is to choose your audience in the information age.
And perhaps a demonstration of why democracy isn't always good.
Im not - I have had two, and my wife has had one.
Seems like its a pretty good filter to me, anyone not adaptable to a different operating system is probably not a great fit for a company like gitlab.
Until recently they were asking for it because they were using it for ad targeting. It was discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31510865
It's likely an unordered list, due to the way HN handles line spacing if you don't do double line breaks.
HR doesn't have a crime lab. They can't do DNA analysis. They don't have subpoena power. They aren't trained to investigate criminality.

Why in god's name would you want HR doing this instead of the police?
Since when is “at the right time” a problem? Virtually no one has that problem, so if they think it’s a big issue, big enough to spend marketing copy on, that’s because they are weird. Inventing problems is typically seen as a sign of dysfunction.
It totally is, you're right. Dictatorship and corruption is the socialism and there never existed and never will exist any other.

If you think I went around looking to dig up dirt, I didn't. I just searched djb's name on Twitter to find more discussions about the subject, as post-quantum cryptography is an area I'm curious about.

Regarding asking for a disclosure, I thought that was widely accepted around here. If the CEO of some company criticised a competitor's product, we would generally expect them to disclose that fact upfront. I thought that was appropriate here given the dismissive tone of GP.
a risible distinction- a cursory reading of the article will reveal that bribery was only brought forth as an example of coercion
dwheeler.com and adacore.com are good places to look. Even though the latter is an Ada site, you can learn things from it. Why are you stuck using C and/or C++ anyway? And what is your application? That affects the answer.

I agree with the posters who emphasize that C and C++ are not similar languages and shouldn't be lumped together, fwiw.
I think your intuition that the SEC passes judgement on reasonableness of made up metrics is...doubtful.
Hypothetically, what would you say if the subject was The Holocaust, and would you say that a library that was under pressure for having books about it should carry books that deny it ever happened to show that they’re neutral and carry both sides?
He's literally a multi-billionaire from his taste and vision (Yeezy fashion, music production).
> it's a really fun toy

I’ll take your word for it, but “consumer” is not the lens through which the author is critiquing the device.
Yes, this is US, not Europe. There are no laws against denying historical events.

If people really want to read things like that, then the publicly funded local liberal should carry them.

In fact, many US public libraries already do carry such books. Here's a search for books by David Irving in the catalogue of Brooklyn Public Library. [1] He is often accused of being a Holocaust denier. [2]

Back in the day, I was head developer of Rendition, a "real time" preview renderer that was compatible with Mental Ray in Maya. We implemented a heat map, and it was often shocking how much a seemingly innocuous aspect of a material could impact ray counts. Of course this was pre-pathtracing, so it showed up differently.
It's odd they don't have some automated system to verify the returner actually purchased that item (or at least one of its model #). If yes, proceed with RMA. If no, "sorry our records show you never purchased that item".
That's arguing with bad faith and framing the argument incorrectly IMO. Nobody is " against trans " people, whatever that means. Many are against children joining that lifestyle, which may result in irreparable harm to the child.

As an adult, I am on androgen replacement therapy but I am also very careful with it, regularly checking my labs to make sure I don't torch my liver in the process. I can make informed decisions about it because I've read the research and understand the risks. A child or even a teenager doesn't understand the risks of taking hormones. Not fully anyway, as the brain doesn't fully develop until 25 or so.
Cyberpunk != transhumanism
WHERE filters before the aggregate. HAVING filters after the aggregate. What’s not to understand here?
I think a big fraction of the anti-transgender movement is not against adults modifying their bodies, but against a) children modifying their bodies, b) persons with modified bodies claiming to be the opposite gender thanks to their modifications (or indeed, before any modification). They probably would have much less of a problem with an adult replacing one of their eyes with an x-ray camera or whatever.
I’ve dreamed of a device similar to this since I was child. It would be thrilling to isolate different stems from classical or really synthy music. The device looks like it’s a brookstone product from the 2000s though…
I wrote a toy database that can be queried similar to dynamodb

This is a real design problem - many web sites do this.

Saying so and suggesting an alternative isn't being pedantic.
The only payment system with all the downsides of cash while being even less convenient to deal with.
So the TLDR is… you do roll your own crypto? I mean you probably need to know how to create a RNG that passes Practrand and smasher first and also a hash function that does the same but cool.

It’s called a Guy Fawkes mask.
Oh please, no one is forcing them to read the books they don't like. If 51% of the voting population of a town doesn't like something, everyone else has to deal with it? Kids are the worst affected by this and can't vote.
I don't really understand the point of constant lane assist if you have to be providing active input at all times?
Damn, we didn't think of that.
That doesn't seem like the only option here, if I understand correctly they only declined a tax increase so the library could perhaps live on with reduced services.
I knew Julius Dein while he was just starting out at university, he'd go around uni filming bits with other students doing cringey YouTube stuff. Never knew he became top 2 on Facebook, although I knew he was able to do this full time. New found respect for getting there than giving all that money up going back to magic tricks, not sure why he's giving it up
> ... and Wikipedia alleges the same in their article:

>> Although it has been claimed that soap-making was introduced to the West from the Levant after the First Crusades, in fact, soap was known to the Romans in the first century AD and Zosimos of Panopolis described soap and soapmaking in c. 300 AD.

... and the article on "Soap" has a lot more to say about the history of soap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap#History

> That's not a big deal I guess, but if you're going to make a rant about historical accuracies, what else isn't exactly accurate here? It seems the effort is put into the berating imaginary enemies rather than the writing

I would say, it is a big deal. Accuracy is the supreme virtue of a historian. A student who would submit such a poorly researched essay in my 101 course would get it back for factual (and stylistic) improvement.
Putting aside the debate and controversy around transgender folks, if I just step back and think about the act itself, it is truly an incredible act of will over self... redefining yourself, redefining your relationship to society, acting so strongly against the defaults of your life... I'm not sure I could do it.

As an act of tremendous will over self I genuinely respect it.

You also have the Central Subway. Which seems to be taking a long time, should open in September years behind schedule.

The problem with Faraday cages (or bags) for wireless car qkeys is that the key in question will usually ramp up the receiver and transmission power, if it can't hear the car. Thus, you will rapidly burn through your battery, even if you do manage to keep your keys secure in the Faraday cage/bag.

Then there's the problem of forgetting your keys and not being able to find them.

We need to have a switch on the remote so that we can just turn it off, until such time as we want to turn it on again.

My corporate win 10 laptop does all those things fine when WFH.

They just set it up, couriered it to my house, gave me my password and off I went.

It does all its GPO update, carbon black policies etc. over the VPN exactly the same as if I was in the office.

Worst case scenario gitlab would just need to courier equipment globally via a decent carrier like DHL, but probably a drop in the ocean compared to other staff costs.
90% of it is organising which ports you want to open on your router and which machine you will forward those ports to.
Then you match those ports by allowing those same ports to be open on the server machine.

I have a raspberry Pi which is dedicated to two jobs only: as a web server and as a UPS controller. My main machine covers ftp and ssh. The router forwards the relevant ports to the relevant server.

There are surprisingly few ports that need to be open between your network and the outside world: ssh, ftp, http, https is pretty much it. Every other port is blocked. This is mine:

# ufw status
Status: active

To Action From
-- ------ ----
80 ALLOW Anywhere
443 ALLOW Anywhere
22 ALLOW Anywhere
21 ALLOW Anywhere
Anywhere ALLOW 202.14.146.0/24
3389 ALLOW Anywhere

443 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
22 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
21 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
3389 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)

When you organise the ufw firewall on the server don't forget to allow both IP version 4 addresses and IP version 6 addresses

Make a note of what you've done, or bookmark the website URLs of the 'Howto Websites' if you use one of those.

You can use a site-checker to see what your firewall is doing: http://ports.my-addr.com/check-all-open-ports-online.php

An expert commenter on the topic (not me) wrote that there is only one potential step in the appeals process, and that is a "Supreme Court" which is in Delaware, not the famous "US Supreme Court" you may have heard of.

First Google hit for "delaware chancery court appeal":

"The Supreme Court is the State's appellate court which receives direct appeals from the Court of Chancery, the Superior Court, and the Family Court"
Are there no communities of "open source" music? It sounds like the stems are part of the "source code" for tracks.
I've got a few pages left in me. I'm pretty sceptical you can find anything that I'll admit is evidence of anything that is even abnormal, let alone concerning (I'm anticipating stuff like "presidential candidate talks to Russians!" as though it isn't the presidents job to negotiate with Russians, or those hilariously small amounts of money that got spent on posting social media articles).

Which section do you think is the most powerful? What in the document upsets you?

It is pretty normal in my experience that people pretty quickly walk back from pretending that the report actually contains anything, because they can't point to it and rely on the fact that there is this fake consensus that something evil happened so there is no need to provide any evidence of anything specific. If you want to point at something I'll read it, but I think you're bluffing on a weak hand here - this report is political swill. Nobody cites from it when they have a point to make against Trump or the 2016 election.

PS: And I'll just add - telling people to "go read a 450 page document to convince yourself I'm right" is an unreasonable ask. I read a lot of that report at the time it was released and I'm pretty convinced there was nothing in it.
I have one, it doesn't require internet access... I'm not sure if it even has wifi
I assume he mostly means SMS. And I fully agree, ever since I've got my security key I've stopped using SMS (though I never really had problems with people trying to social engineer my telecom provider). It's way more secure and it's somewhat permanent compared to a phone number, especially if left at home(since realistically unless you're commuting a lot you don't need it). The biggest perceived risk imo is when travelling(especially since changing countries will most likely trip any account session). Even authenticator apps are better than 2FA through SMS.
Yeah its impossible, they can't meet the audit industry gold standard of the windows clock in the screenshot to validate its authenticity.
