Amazon does this! Morons will ask you to "click the link in the sms" to "authorise access". I can understand doing this randomly once or twice, for security. But every single time!? Figured they were doing it for two reasons - data-mining (to figure out what mobile phone and mobile browser yo have, and to leave an Amazon cookie on your mobile browser), and to harass you into installing and using the Amazon app instead of the website. Had to call customer support multiple times before this stopped (who kept urging me to install the Amazon app).

Sandboxed apps cannot write into the container of other apps unless the user explicitly allows it.

Here the bug is that OpenAndSavePanelService, which is privileged, was decoding state from the app it was acting on behalf of. An app can save malicious objects into its own serialized state, and then it will be injected into OpenAndSavePanelService, leading to a sandbox escape. The fix is for the service to stop decoding state.

>that's not what anyone wants. People want the NHS to work, to be funded and managed appropriately.

No, they want cost-effective healthcare. Almost everywhere else in the world uses a mixed public-private model for healthcare, which IMHO keeps a lid on the excesses of government spending into the money pit of fully-public healthcare.
As longs as you don't rely on The Algorithm (i.e. you watch a fixed set of channels), you could probably rig up some kind of NAS to TV streaming set up, using ytdlp to download videos to the NAS.
So if there is a human on the other side that makes mistakes all the time, we can't complain about it?

Perhaps they should put another human on the other side that checks the first human.

> People with kids will tell you how well "internet education" went the last 2 years...

As I said, I don't have kids, so I don't have first-hand information, but from what I've heard we got the worst of both. I don't think we can draw too many conclusions from the hot mess of the last two years, not yet anyway. In any event, I hope it's obvious that I'm not advocating for more of that.

What I mean is that the raw material freely available on the Internet is more than enough in terms of information, so it seems to me that long hours of mostly-rote learning from approved textbooks, etc. don't make sense anymore (if they ever did.)

Instead it seems like schools (for education, not daycare) could provide direct, in-person interactions with mentors and tutors that would be an important part of any re-designed educational system, to help kids learn to teach themselves.

> Fortnite will still be more fun than doing math, whether that's on a computer or in a classroom.

Well, to me the whole concept of "battle royale" is a symptom of modern depravity, I'd never let my kids play such a messed up game.

But I reject the idea that playing video games with your friends is more fun than e.g. building a robot IRL with your friends, eh? I mean starting with magnets and wires and, like, an Arduino. You'd have to learn mathematics in the context of electronics, mechanics, software and hardware, sensors, etc. An integrated context where you're immediately applying what you learn to your robot.
I agree with you that there's value to sorted keys from a presentational standpoint (we are not beep-boop robots, humans have to read this stuff too), but now there also exists a JSON canonicalization RFC that tools can/should follow (with all the usual caveats about canonicalization being fraught): https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8785
I think shotspotter's problems are more political than technical.

Not to say they don't have technical challenges too: better sensors than the human ear turn out to be fairly easy, but interpreting that data is still hard. Brains are complicated, "hearing" is a process contributed to by nearly every layer of meat that reacts to sound. The human ability to notice a new noise in the cacophony of everyday life is really an amazing trick if you think about it.
Second that!

It is sad that proliferation of material for nuclear weapons is that scary. Not that I'm arguing that it isn't. But the nuclear waste that's radioactive for 200,000 years doesn't have to be. Breeder reactors and fuel reprocessing can reduce that to hundreds of years. Yeah that's still longer than a couple human lifetime generations, but nowhere near trying to put up warning signs that will continue to scare away people through the rise and fall of several civiliations.
For profit companies can and do deduct employee taxes as a cost of business before calculating their corporate tax liability.

>Why should the Sesame Street production company get tax benefits over any Hollywood production?

Specifically because we decided as a society that we wanted to encourage companies making educational content and not Hollywood blockbusters.

There are strings attached to being a nonprofit. These include limits on employee compensation so that the CEO of a nonprofit can't take a billion dollar salary as a workaround for corporate profit. They have to be paid a salary that the IRS thinks is reasonable, and any excess Revenue made by the nonprofit has to go back into its beneficial purpose
That is neat, I'll look further into it.
> on state funded roads

Roads aren't cars? I'm not saying that central planning is never a good idea, just that it's mostly not a good idea. "Where to put roads that a private company will build" is a reasonable role of government in a capitalist society.

> and then getting bailed out

I don't think they should've been bailed out. That was politicians buying car worker votes by doing politician things, like inflating the currency to make everyone's wages worth less.

Cars are better not mostly because of regulations, but because of manufacturing improvements, electronic/chip hardware and software improvements, and, most of all, competition.
> prompt someone to ask you that question back

Huh. I’m glad this is not a thing in my circles. Being direct and exposing some vulnerability seems to work great for us.

I known its just a custom that can’t be analyzed too deeply, but what you describe sounds so timid and shy from the outside.

Rightly or wrongly (probably wrongly), if I picked up that someone was doing this, I’d assume they need a lot of special handling and ceremony to feel comfortable. It would take a lot for me to want to bother.

7% is not generous in an international comparison. It's on a par with Lithuania or Costa Rica. Denmark spends 10% on health care, Germany 11.7%, Italy 8.7%.

The NHS is also under huge pressure because of all the European health care professionals that left after Brexit (you won't read about that in the Telegraph) and the huge number of sick days caused by COVID.

I also feel they are way too quick to dismiss the idea that health issues are related to COVID. When kids were vaccinated against measles the death rate fell not just for measles, but for all infectious diseases. It's probably because measles damages the immune system. It's not unlikely that COVID had long term health effects that we don't yet fully understand, but which are starting to show up in the statistics.
No, Matthias Gansrigler has been an indie Apple dev for well over a decade.

Every Apple dev has stories like this.
That build server protocol is a great idea. There are folks who sell Bazel build as a service (e.g. BuildBuddy I think it's called), but while it's pretty easy to get a remote action cache, it's quite a bit more involved to get a true remote farm, and this obviously goes nonlinear in complexity as languages/platforms/toolchains start their combinatorics routine. If there was a standard and it were as successful as LSP (thank god for VSCode and whatever hero at Microsoft decided to keep LSP despite the JSON) I think it would create a whole new SaaS ecosystem and make everyone's life better.

I've never worked at Google, so I'm very curious about what Blaze gets you that Bazel doesn't. I have no trouble imagining it's a lot: you can do great stuff when you control the whole stack and have lots of computers, but I'd be intrigued by any details you're at liberty to share.
Can you outline some other problems you have lost time to besides a software update? I agree that they’re pretty long too, but if that’s your only complaint it’s a bit moot since every OS provides a mechanism for installing updates during off hours.
Interesting how most top level comments to this are using it as a jumping off point for various axes they have to grind ranging from the theoretical to the personal.

The entire point of khan academy is that it is individually tailored to the student and can decide what lessons need additional practice vs those that can be skipped. It sounds like you aren’t at all awqre of how khan academy works.

Well, it's really not straightforward to know what would be the outcome of such a lawsuit. Google's ToS is one thing but the main point is that random user uploading family photos is not a protected group, so Google refusing service is very much their right.

"take" is weird wording too. it's your time, you already have it. it's just how you use it.
The cable industry admittedly also included sports and some other live content--some of which is on various streaming services. And some other content is only available a la carte. But I agree with your basic point.

A hypothetical all non-live available digital content for one monthly price would probably be over $200/month.

The good news for someone like myself is that I can get tons of content (and access to more a la carte) for under $50/month. I could add a live streaming service and I'd still be paying less than my cable TV bill used to be.
Ugh no... No idea how I've missed that.

Even RDP isn't great with latency over about 30ms from my experience. The mouse cursor never quite follows my hand movements and everything feels slightly sluggish. Without tech whereby the client can somehow anticipate user actions and predict the next likely update I'm not sure how you solve that.

Sure, it also won't catch the misconfiguration for those who don't even open the Makefile. It is too optimistic to hope that this venerable piece of software will solve all out misconfiguration woes, but at least it provides a possible red flag sometimes.
Boxes really isn't designed to enable easy GPU passthrough. It requires a lot of additional configuration on the host system as well, not just the VM.
Or simply as you age, move out of places designed for cars and to places designed for walkability. It's an easy solution if you have a skill set that's in demand and command a high wage.

My comment is net -1 right now, and I don't believe I made any assumptions about the person I responded to in the feedback I tried to offer. If people don't think my feedback is useful, that's fine, but if I had started it off with something like "ah, the presumptuous teacher", I'm pretty sure it would be been received even worse.

I read the initial comment as asking a naive question, but I think that's great, as long as they are open to answers that contradict their assumptions. People should be able to do that and get earnest answers without backhanded comments. Asking naive questions is a big part of how I learn, personally.
You were in "gen pop". Honors classes are just that, honors classes. Gifted classes are another thing altogether.

If you agree with the guy I responded to, in that you wouldn't mind removing the mentally challenged from the school system entirely, boy, that's not a good look for you.

Because the difference between the average student to those with severe learning disabilities is the same as the difference between truly gifted students and even the honors students. And here's how you can tell the difference. Honors classes are always a full class. I've not been in a single honors class that wasn't the average class size. Gifted classes are like 5 to 10 students. I personally knew every other gifted student in my high school. Grades 9 - 12, knew them all. There were not that many, roughly 30 any given year. Across all four grades.

The issue has always been “what if.”

I couldn't find the quoted tweet from your link, here's a direct link:

I read a book a while back whose main argument was that we spend so much on the bottom 1% (special ed), why aren't we spending an equal amount on the top 1%? Why don't the smartest kids get one on one instruction and special resources that no one else gets?

To be fair the author was fairly balanced and presented the arguments against, such as that they tend to come from wealthier families that can provide that support, that they will be fine on their own without it whereas the bottom 1% need the support, and so on.

But it was an interesting thought experiment none the less. What would our society look like if we spent as much on the top 1% of students as the bottom? Or do we already via college education?
> It means a small change in x.

So here is the issue. "A small change in x" is a concept that is relevant and meaningful for Riemann integration: it represents that the integral is defined as a limit of Riemann sums as the change in x becomes infinitely small.

But this is not relevant for Lebesgue integration! We are not taking a limit of Riemann sums and there is not a limit of change in x getting arbitrarily small. What matters is the measure (and the definition of the integral in terms of simple functions is something entirely different).

So you see using dx this way in the context of Lebesgue integration seems like a potential source of confusion, not simplification.

This is why i ask what dx means. Either it represents the standard Lebesgue measure on R (this is valid and a special case of the notation d\mu(x) since \mu is the identity function), or it is nonsense that potentially confuses concepts from other integration theories.

This is why mathematicians don't like your idea. They encounter many students who are confused about this distinction and don't find that it's a useful simplification.
It is probably a typo and they should have wrote exhaust valve. It's thick enough to be an exhaust valve.

The cylinder head has both an intake valve and exhaust valve on each cylinder. One to let in misted fuel and air (delivered via the intake manifold, which is via fuel injection rail or carburetor jets), and another to allow the dispelling of combusted fuel.

That said I've seen carbon build up on intake valves too. Usually from bad valve adjustments or improper seating...bad lifters/rockers etc etc so they port isn't properly sealed in combustion. Nothing to do with being fuel injected or carbureted. It all comes via the intake manifold... The valves know absolutely no difference.

I know you jest, but if you're in k8s, I'd check out cert-manager (https://cert-manager.io/). It works quite well, and as it integrates w/ k8s, it stores the cert in a Secret where an Ingress picks it up automatically, and it solves the whole multiple-replicas-all-need-the-cert problem that I have w/ certbot.

(I agree, while certbot works, it's a bit of a usability nightmare.)

First, thank you for trying it out and for submitting an idea. That's super cool.

With regards to engaging with users:

In the current design, the first two levels of interest that a user may show on your idea do not include sharing any contact information. Namely upvoting an idea, and signing up for updates. A user has to support your idea on level 3 ("share contact info with the project owner") or level 4 ("share your use case") in order for you to actually get their contact info.

For now, if you go to your "ideas" section, you'll already see the count of each level of support your idea got (upvoted, subscribed to updates, shared contact info, filled out questionaire).

The ability to actually send out an update to the users that requested it is actually still missing. Same goes for accessing the contact info of the users who shared it with you, and for accessing the info they shared with you when they filled out the questionaire. I didn't know if this Show HN was going to go anywhere. But I'm going to add these features. These contacts are yours. And they have entrusted me with forwarding their request to you.

Isn't that just giving? I mean, sure, I guess you can say "That movie sucked and anybody who liked it can fight me!" and then not give a shit about what anyone else says which probably isn't giving, but putting that out there and watching for who responds to what and then enticing them with more of that is the essence of giving (and conversation).
I don't get why kids have such things. Other than typing there really isn't anything kids need to learn that is better done with a computer until high school. (Even then everything could be done with paper, but word processors are useful for writing)
