> Here’s the ominous disclaimer “I disavow any actions taken with this information in advance” in a post doxxing Keffals where she was eventually swatted.

If we are to assume that posting a dox is evidence for swatting sure, but if we don't that is not more ominous than anything else that could've been said.

>Here’s someone being glib about “inconvenient but polite visits from law enforcement”: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1rwQ_3hMKm...

I assume this is violent threat #24[0]? this was after the swatting happened and is referring to the statement from the police[1] that clarified they just knocked on the door to come in and were let in, and didn't really deadname her in the manner that was claimed, contrary to her recollection of events. I quote the statement from the police department: " Officers did not conduct what is sometimes referred to as a “dynamic entry” into Ms. Sorrenti’s residence. Rather, they knocked on the door, announced themselves as police officers, and occupants answered. Any attempt by uninvolved third parties to suggest otherwise is inaccurate and irresponsible. "

It wasn't being glib about it from my point of view

All others by your description, just show people there being nasty, which seems to be par for the curse, but nothing pointing towards doing the swatting.

You have it backwards. Metrication in Canada stopped halfway because the opponents created such a stink that the government of the time decided to back off, and nobody since has had the courage to seize the nettle. Perhaps in a generation today's schoolkids, educated in metric, will try again.

Do a web search for “dumb criminals” and you might want to revisit that thought. “America's Dumbest Criminals”¹ had enough content to run for over one hundred episodes in four seasons over two decades years ago.

"The fact that it's written in C"

The calling convention is C, but you can write PAM in any language.

"and is linked into another program as a library makes it impossible to fully isolate it from its host application"

Huh? You can never isolate the client side code. You will always have something in your app.

"I think a sane, modern version of PAM should be a service and only communicate via a UNIX socket."

So, write a module that talks to a socket. That's how like half of the PAM modules already operate. You will always have to have code in the application to talk to whatever oracle you're using. What you're describing here isn't any different from how PAM already works.
>Number of nodes is a poor metric that is easily gamified (pumped up), presenting an artificial picture. If a blockchain's economics purposefully incentivizes nodes, then number-of-nodes is entirely subsidized, in one common example.

I'm not sure that this dynamic would compromise the metric's usefulness. A cryptocurrency can only offer such incentives in-protocol if it's made the currency have real-world, persistent value. So any ability to bribe users to run nodes would itself be a validation of the cryptocurrency's success/influence/etc.

(That is, being paid 1000 ScamCoins a week to run a node won't be much of an incentive if they're only worth trillionths of a penny each.)

I do agree your next paragraph identifies a real problem though:

>Further, the "Sybil" factor - which one party controls many nodes - and other centralizing factors - e.g. 90% of nodes are on Big Cloud - also complicates the number-of-nodes use as a simple metric and useful comparator.

It's definitely hard to identify how truly independent the nodes are.
The argument was that the addition of a transmission would allow more control in snow. Is that only in situations where there isn't traction control, or where it is disabled?

Would traction control be expected to outperform a human on snow? Is the higher weight of an EV going to make it handle poorly anyways?

I'm not sure how your linked page shows that humans are willing to endure economic hardship for humanity's survival. It simply says that as more efficiency is achieved, and thus lower cost, the resource is used more. What did I miss?
EDF electricity is 80% nuclear so fixed initial cost.

When Europe pushed for opening the electricity market to private actors France reacted by forcing EDF to sell some amount of GWh of its nuclear electricity to third party at a price fixed by law, called "ARENH" (1).

Now the french nuclear industry was put between a rock and a hard place.

It has said for a long time that nuclear was ultra ultra cheap and unbeatable and ultra reliable so it could not really ask for a high price relative to historical prices.

So we ended up with 42 EUR/MWh nuclear electricity price (which was the minimum price asked by EDF at the time) fixed by law for electricity provided by nuclear.

Some years other sources were cheaper (most recent years BTW), some years nuclear was cheaper.

Main issue this year is that french nuclear plants have potential safety issues plus various other issue and less than 50% capacity factor (bye bye nuclear = reliable baseload idea BTW) and other sources other than renewable have high price while EDF still has to provide amount of MWh at the now very low relative to market prices ARENH price to competitors.

Well it’s not like you don’t keep it in mind. Your project has some baseline performance need and you should be building with the common practices and paradigms you used to build the other parts. The point is, don’t try to guess which part might need optimization tweaks. Write it first and then prove you need to spend extra time improving something.

Gold audio cables? Now you're talking tinfoil hat territory :)

It IS "archival." Maybe when I'm dead and gone, so distant relative will be listening to this. Maybe they'll be able to hear the difference. Who knows?

I don't think the SD card is a weird metric at all. It fits in the phone, so even if, worst case, I'm traveling and rent a car (assuming it has Bluetooth), I still have all the music.

I'd gain absolutely nothing by having them as MP3s, and the price of a TB is only going to keep dropping.

Of course, I'd also gain nothing if you switched to FLACs. You perceive different tradeoffs than I do, so that's fine.
Defining 1mpt = 0.1mm would be just as good.

Normal text would be 40mpt = 4mm = 11.33pt.

But there are already metric point definitions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(typography)
What about package management? I feel Racket’s is more standardized. I get pretty confused trying to install some requested Common Lisp packages. Browsing to the package websites, there’s no commonality, and there’s even usually no information on how to install them.
Do you mean Ogg Vorbis? Opus is a codec for speech.

I hate pulling rank so fiercely, but I literally wrote the second (i.e. first non-reference) implementation of the Ogg container format (which Opus, Vorbis and sometimes FLAC use). I know these codecs.

Ogg Vorbis and AAC hit similar levels of quality as a 192 kbps MP3 around 160 kbps. (That actually depends a fair amount on the MP3 encoder. The LAME VBR is particularly good.)

But I have an 11 year old receiver and a 12 year old car that can't play them. Hell, even iTunes can't without third-party codec plugins. MP3s are about as universal as it gets. Being able to play my files everywhere is pretty high up on my list of concerns.
> are there any interesting medieval books that are not bibles/religious texts

Yes. All of them.

The thing is that manuscripts were expensive. And fancy manuscripts with colors and drawings and gold leaf were even more expensive. That meant the required well-monied patrons. And often that meant the church. Or some noble intent on going to heaven who really needed a spendy book of hours to help get there.

There were others, though. Check this out: an early sort of graphic novel about Alexander the Great!

Or good arguments depending on your point of view.
Diet science is flawed because it does not take personal genetics into account. You can take two different sample sizes, say one from a largely Inuit population and another from a Caucasian farmer population and get two different results when changing their diet.
Sorry, I don't have a good, concise answer for you.

Focusing on software, in my view:

1. BAs are focused on developing internal business applications to be used by the employees of a business. Whereas PMs are focused on developing products to be sold to others (B2B or B2C). BAs were used at organizations where software is a supporter or enabler of the business as opposed to at organizations where the business is software, which would use PMs.

2. The role of a BA is a subset of the role of a PM. So, the PM's focus is a little broader in scope and would include more work with external stakeholders, go to market strategy, revenue, profit and loss, and maybe budgeting.

Beyond that, what exactly is a BA? This is tough to answer because there is no standard definition. BA job descriptions will differ between companies and even within a company, they will differ between departments.

Not sure if that helps.
Nah, going after the police is a death wish for all but the biggest baddies

As enforcement gets more lax (criminal justice reform, progressive prosecutors, etc), victims and their families will start to turn to these tools to buy retribution.

But mercenaries won't go after electeds. Those killers will need to be more bought in, e.g. gang members, cartel militias, etc, with enough power to completely overwhelm govt aligned gangs (like the police)

I think BA is more on the finance side of the house and may be lower level, depending on firm. I know there are PM certifications, but BA is more like MBA/MA or bachelors stuff. As someone else said, BA is a wider term.
You're right, it's ~1/25. So still should happen.

> Imagine if you couldn't print political flyers without active participation from the paper company, or if you couldn't host meetups without the wholesale endorsement of the phone company.

Except, Cloudflare isn't required to run a website. If you are printing 100s or even 1000s of flyers your home printer might be fine. If you are printing millions your probably going to need to make a significant investment or work with a professional printer. The same is true for Cloudflare in this scenario. It doesn't enable running the site, it just helps scale it for cheaper. If the professional printers/cloudflare's of the world decide to shun you, yeah you'll have a harder time getting your message out, but I see that as a feature, not a bug. If I shun someone I don't want someone else handing them a megaphone to scream in my ear.
Checksumming in media container formats is tricky because different media formats have different features. So each codec and combination of track/codec needs its own special case on how and when a checksum is performed.

In the case of FLAC the situation is straight forward, you've got uncompressed audio and a codec that's performing lossless compression. You want to know what was encoded losslessly matches the input. It's no different from a checksum in a compressed archive.

It's less straightforward with a lossy compressed codec. Are we just checksumming the compressed bitstream? Where in the handling of the bitstream are we doing the checksum? In MOV/MP4 a media track can have arbitrary start and end times. It makes doing in/out cuts super fast. But when it comes to checksumming the track do we checksum all the samples in the track or only the samples that will play? If a file if flattened and a track has all the samples out of the playable region discarded do we now have to recalculate the checksum?

Media tracks can also have header tags that indicate stuff like display color space, displayed size, or even track level metadata. Are we checksumming the track bitstream and important track headers? A video needing to render in a particular color space will be materially affected if it's bitstream is preserved but color space tags are dropped.

If you want to hack in checksums for track bitstreams both MOV/MP4 and Matroska can accept arbitrary tags for tracks so you can just write a checksum to a track header tag if you really want to. You really need a table of rules for doing the checksum otherwise it's a wasted effort.
Yeesh, this looks like an accessibility issue on steroids. First time i've seen that kind of captcha, would give up in the first two.

I do fear we're headed in a direction where there'll be two false "choices" presented - either turn off all privacy improvements to browsers for vulnerable audiences (to make it easier to data mine and double dip from said paying audiences), or present these to the stubborn ones wanting to keep their privacy and hope that the friction will convert them back to the first batch.
You could use a CRC to verify metadata contents.

But IMO these are the properties of a good container file / stream format. FLAC might define its own but IMO most codecs could work well with a generic container.
It's quite a coincidence that you mention passive cooling. I moved to the Caribbean after high school, and I never once had AC during the 10 years I spent there. But the windows were always open and the fans were always on. The Caribbean doesn't suffer from the humidity of the Deep South, and there was most always a breeze. It was much more bearable even though the temps were often just as high as those I experienced in Alabama.

How does vegetarianism or veganism promote monoculture? I associate mono-cropping with production of animal feed and hyper-processed human feed, not with growing crops for vegans.
It's specifically very wrong. It links to this study for that claim:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa6cd5

Which only looks at greenhouse gas emissions (and only then compares grass feeding to grain feeding), and does NOT consider the effects to local groundwater, surface water, or air quality from CAFOs.

Here's a CDC resource that goes into depth about the swathe of negative effects on local resources CAFOs create: https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/ehs/docs/understanding_cafos_nalboh...

Besides things like frequent manure spills that pollute surface and groundwater, children living near these CAFOs have elevated rates of asthma.

The piece is very focused on greenhouse gases and the benefits of "economies of scale" but doesn't say a peep about the meltdown of our consolidated food supply when the pandemic subjected it to supply shocks.

I will for some things. I have a couple web apps I visit throughout the day and it's nice to have a shortcut on my homescreen, and to not have the address bar taking up space.

Speaking from a technical perspective, adding a PWA to the home screen is useful for recognizing user intent to have a richer experience with an app. Push notifications, adding an app to the share sheet, etc. - things you don't want just any website to do, but might want to permit for a privileged site.
First: yes, it is healthier for those living inside the park, compared to the alternative.

Second: the point is not to build "a larger scale" version of those societies, but actually to replicate the idea of localism in many different places. Less EU and one-world government and more independent nation-states, if you will.

Third: you can oppose the lifestyle and philosophy all you want, but it still is not slavery.
It's almost certainly both, because Nazism is also an ideology (one with no platform given and no platform deserved).

FWIW, I've gotten kicked from FB far more often for vitriolic criticism of the right than the left. At least to my eye, they try to steer an even keel... If people are seeing more Republicans get snagged, I think it's because of their own social circle (because filter bubbles are pretty thick these days).
Yea I think this thread wasn't necessary. Cheers for bringing it up, it wasn't my intention but I agree I shouldn't have opened it like that and a lot of the followup discussion could have been avoided. I think I'll stay clear of anything touching religion as we see where that gets us. Point taken!

May I ask you though why you downvoted a bunch of my comments which I think had nothing to do with a flamewar, for example the ones in the discussion with origin_path? It must have been you because due to the age of the comments normal users are not able to downvote them anymore. I'm not saying I shouldn't be downvoted for the stuff that played into the flamewar but why the other stuff? My guess is that those also are not welcome on HN I'm just not 100% sure why or which rule these comments broke. Clarification on that would be welcome. I've duly reviewed the guidelines.

Anyways, thanks for the slap back to reality :)

I disagree that velocity is a terrible metric. I think a more comprehensive suggestion from the article could've been to use velocity in conjunction with other metrics. Perhaps with the ones the author points out in the article.

Measuring things is hard. Most of the time when you measure something there will be a loss of information. Velocity, in the context of software engineering, is no exemption. However, this doesn't mean that it can't be a helpful signal.
So the free exchange of information is dangerous-- why stop here? There's a lot more protecting we can do

The orchestrator can still use cgroups for resource constraints and isolation. Or it could use virtualization - it would be an implementation detail. But devs would not have to build a container.
