You've mistaken my argument. If you follow the thread from the beginning, I'm merely using DC v. Heller as an example of how the court can set precedent to reinterpret a fundamental right under the constitution despite a 200+ year history of the opposite. This was in response to being told

> Hundreds of years of case law in the Anglosphere contradict your view

While that is true currently, it doesn't mean SCOTUS can't come along and decide things differently. It also doesn't change history if they were to do so.
> Can you imagine the articles if you could swap out faceID systems to unlock an encrypted iphone?

Yes, the articles would go something like this: "WTF is wrong with Apple, did they intentionally implement 'security' in the worst possible way, by leaving the phone unencrypted and just using faceID as a lock screen?!"

That is what they'd have to do for your statement to make any sense, they'd have to leave the data unencrypted and just use a removable component as a pass or fail doorman. So the system would have always been unsecure, it would just be more obvious in this scenario.
Are there adult geniuses? I'm not sure either. Like I said, I can't remember the source, so now I can't validate anything, but I don't really ever hear of adult geniuses (if you prefer to call them that).

> Surely you believe there are people who are far more accomplished than 99.999% of the population that could be considered as such

This will obviously be a personal interpretation. One could consider the number 1 chess player an adult genius, but as I said, the article discussed that adults are no longer seen as such because the gap between the best and second best and everyone thereafter of similar training and experience is much smaller, so it no longer appears incredible, and people can very well imagine that someone else will soon come along and be even better than they are.

So it's not that there isn't ever one person arguably better at something than everyone else, but that they don't appear to be so due to a genius/prodigy gene, and they're no longer that much better that it seems impossible for anyone else to beat them ever.

Similarly, you'd expect that the best adults would likely have all been child prodigies no? And this appeared to be false based on my memory of that article.
> A proxy extension requires rewriting arbitrary requests on the fly

That is completely incorrect. A proxy extension routes requests through a proxy server. It does not rewrite anything.
1. The Millionaire Next Door - I read this as a kid and took away the importance of owning your own business and living below your means.

2. The Good Earth - Another book that I read as a kid that I think about often…specifically about the choices the family makes as their fortune rises and falls.

3. Running Lean: Iterate from Plan A to a Plan That Works - I like the 1 page canvas for capturing assumptions and the product & solution interviews.

More recently, I read Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. I wonder if the central message of this book (“you can’t do it all & how to embrace that”) will stick with me.
Bookmarked, not a competitive programmer but definitely need to brush up on my algorithms; hope it's not too technical!
I didn't mean to be rude.

I think anyone involved in a PoW system (holding, mining, spending) is legitimising wasting energy. Even if you're using a sustainable source, others aren't, and the power you're using could have been used elsewhere.

Your personal impact might have been small, but it still takes serious compartmentalization or blissful ignorance to be involved in crypto and profess care for the environment.

This design isn't more resilient vs supply chain problems in any obvious way but my guess is the next iPhone SE will be a derivative of the iPhone 14. Lowering repair costs paves the way to Apple offering leased phones and is directly aligned with a shift towards services revenue.
Someone warned years ago that proxy extensions would no longer be feasible on Chromium? I must have missed that message.
That's an awful lot and weird choice of words just to say that you are not the target audience.
> Although terminating the encryption was necessary to inspect the traffic and effectively mitigate the attack, the use of HTTP Pipelining required Google to complete relatively few TLS handshakes.

Ouch. I mean, congrats for allowing attack traffic to reach the servers, but you know what... once a request is recognized as "bad", then there are hight chances that other requests on the same http connection will also be bad perhaps?

This is exactly, why a more appropriate mitigation is to issue connection-close (in http1.1 world) or GOAWAY frame (in http2 world).

With that in hand, it's possible to bounce the connection back to the bot. Sure, the bot will retry which will put pressure on TLS. But then, if a source IP is trying very hard to establish many connections it's another strong sign of malicious traffic. In TCP you can rate limit SYN packets and _not_ allow more than X new connections per second, quite easily. Another mitigation is to allow the bot to send http requests, but just not answer them. Allow them hang on the connection, burning the bot's resources (memory, concurrent connetions).

Anyway, the point is: requests-per-second is not a perfect metric for L7 / application attacks. A smart application shoudl be albe to push mitigation up to lower levels (like syn rate limiting, or TLS client-hello signature rate limiting), and _not_ intake large amounts of traffic. A better metric is bot count (or number of unique IP's seen), which was shared in the article and is in mid-range.

To recap, a well designed system should _never_ need to handle 47MRPS. It should be able to packpressure it.
Yes this paragraph is indeed the crux of what I disagree with.

Two sentences later you have this gem: “What once seemed magical became calculable; where one could rely on intuition came to require rigorous memorization and training with a machine. Chess, once poetic and philosophical, was acquiring elements of a spelling bee: a battle of preparation, a measure of hours invested.”

Well, that’s patently untrue. Chess has always been a battle of preparation far before the advent of computer. The rosy paste described just doesn’t exist. High level play has always required memorising books of theory and going through decades of past games. That’s what chess is. It’s a game of pattern recognition and memorisation.

If I wanted to be provocative, I would say that the article seems to imply that computers have turned chess from an interesting game into a boring one while in actuality it has always been boring but with more mystic.

Agreed, I think it's a big failure of the imagination to think that a monopoly-cementing acquisition is the only way to encourage more competition. A world in which large dominating companies can be overthrown by a promising upstart is, for me at least, a way more exciting world in which to start a new company. Adobe would not be spending this much money if they didn't foresee a future where Figma significantly disrupts their market position.
I think you're misreading this.

In my view, it is the demand for viral anger inducing content that is unlimited. That, of course, can include content that relates to racism, but the power of social media doesn't depend on the specific category of anger; rather, it thrives on virtually all anger. There are many examples of viral hoaxes that are not specifically about race, though topics related to race certainly do play well into the anger spiral of most social media.

I would say that such hoaxes, in general, only work to add confusion to our perceptions of the real harms of racism in our society. Do not attempt to find any clarity based on these hoaxes. We shouldn't draw conclusions about how much racism there is, based on internet viral fud. To do so is to allow the deception to misdirect us away from the reality of the situation. Whatever that reality is, it's not reflected by this type of thing. Rather, this type of situation reflects the more general anger spiral that social media thrives on.
Life-safety? Seriously? It's gun control and law enforcement problem, not the one of easy salvaging. Y'know, it's hard to imagine that someone in Europe or most of the Asia would be robbing at gunpoint for the smartphone.

Risk/reward just does not match - it'll be most likely few years or even probation for simple robbery with good ol' bats, and tens of years for robbing at gunpoint, a good part of it from illegal firearms possession. Not to mention that actual murder for smartphone will move it much closer to life sentence.

The article text is kind of incomprehensible on its own, IMO. If you're not already knowledgeable about modern smartphone repair you have to watch the video to make sense of it.

What games are these tho? Gotta give specifics in a thread of specifics. I mean you still see people on twitch playing “classics” all the time. You also have cliques that still routinely play games like mother and chronotrigger on a religious level.
I wouldn't worry about it. You could try asking a random person in a bar what they think "4k" means, I'd bet a decent portion of people would say something along the lines of "high quality", and very few would give you the precise pixel count.
Yeah I really wonder what people's expectations are here.

"First step by putting a hair dryer to the front face of the phone and turning it up to max. We don't really know what temperature that will be, but hopefully it's enough to loosen the adhesive. Now improvise a tool for lifting the screen off, hopefully you won't cut the ribbon cables underneath while doing that - maybe a guitar pick? Ok then, when reassembling the device try to get the new screen on as evenly as possible. Who knows if you've done it right - but if you did it wrong your phone will definitely bork if you get it wet!"

Like, you can still do all of the above. There's nothing preventing you from doing a phone repair cheaply (and poorly) - but to expect a company to support that officially seems nuts?

It turns out repairing modern consumer electronics at a high quality bar is expensive! And it's equipment intensive!
There's possibly a similar aspect to poker where you have to present a wide range of hands for your opponent to account for, whereas if you play tight then you become more predictable and you won't get action when you bet. With chess you have to prepare and play less optimal lines so your opponent has to prepare more lines and/or you can play lines they haven't prepared for so well.

Spending more on marketing allows them to increase renevue and lower their per-unit margins, leading to more investment into research and development.

This is just nonsensical speculating, unless we understand the internal motivations of Apple’s decision makers. Maybe they’re evil and view this as a tool to dominate the world. Maybe they think these are genuinely beneficial decisions for their customers. Who knows.

IIUC, OpenAI specifically deny-listed trademarked characters from the training dataset to try and side-step getting sued by companies with enough resources to move the needle on what was allowed and disallowed in terms of digital art creation (since a ruling could disrupt their entire business model).

I assume Emad Mostaque did the risk calculus differently when they open-sourced Stable Diffusion (I don't know for sure, but it smells like his attitude on the question was "I don't care because now that it's open-source nobody can delete it from the Internet anyway").
At the moment, NoScript on FF actually. With how few domains I load the JS from, the "reblock after reopen" behavior is 60/40 feature/bug for me.

There is no reason that it would make the phones worse at all. Apple in the past intentionally made the phone harder to repair for no advantage.

to socialized costs. If you choose to be disgusted, that is one you.

If you are just looking to depate, I can steel man the point you thought I was making. There are a number of ways in which drunk and loan holders are similar, and some in which they are not.

They both made poor choices which have future consequences. They both often have regrets. They both are not providing much economic value to society. They both externalize the costs of their life choices on society at large. They both are very real humans, and may be nice people, deserving of compassion.
>Apple has gone out of their way to make life as hard as possible on third-party repair shops

No they haven't. They just had no reason to prioritize or put effort into making sure that third-party repair shops had an easy time to do this. Not putting effort into something isn't the same as actively putting effort into making things more difficult.

If the goal of playing and winning chess is to rank and see who is the best at playing chess, then yeah, we'll get cheating. This can happen in any competitive sport.

If the goal of playing chess is to develop, refine, and challenge one's own decision-making process in which someone can apply those principles elsewhere in life off-the-board, then cheating like this is cheating yourself.

If the goal of sports, like chess, is to inspire others in the human civilization on what's possible, to uplift everyone, to reflect the best of humankind, then cheating like this cheats all of us. We're basically saying the best of humankind cheats rather than demonstrating virtue and character through sportsmanship.

And lastly, in the domain of war and warfare, there's a proverb that, if you are not cheating, you're not trying hard enough.
OK and presumably it does that by taking a request for an address A and rewriting part of it so that it actually goes to B with some additional headers to indicate how to forward it.

edit: Apparently I've hit my HN rate limit so I can't reply! Thanks Dang.

As for the proxying, obviously something has to rewrite the address that the request is going to. Depending on the type of proxy (ex: HTTP CONNECT) you may also have an x-forwarded-by header set. It sounds like Chrome never allowed you to do this manually, cool TIL.
Looking at the board photo, something bad happened during disassembly of the 14 Pro Max. At least 9 components were heated and moved off their pads on the main CPU board in the lower left corner. Some of the chips on the other side are also shifted. Will take some work to get that running again...

Baeldung Courses Are a Scam
I purchased all the courses for $1,151.85, and I cannot overstate how extremely overpriced and low quality they are. These should be priced at 10$ a piece. Also this guy is conveniently ignoring my emails about getting a refund, as he does have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.

OK, I see what you mean. Does that correspond to actual political parties in the UK? Is there a "liberal" party that is considered neither left nor right?

I would say that in the US, what you're calling liberal would translate to "centrist/mainstream Democrats" who believe in the market but also in a social safety net. In other words, the majority of Democrats. But we also just call that the left, because it's the mainstream political viewpoint that is opposite to the right.

What you are calling the left, we call "progressive", which is why you see so many references to the "progressive wing" of the Democrats. Which includes Bernie and also AOC, who also call themselves "socialists", but in the US this doesn't mean communist -- it's not about government ownership, but vastly stronger regulation, protection, and government action generally.

While Elizabeth Warren is really her own idiosyncratic category. She's doing her own thing that isn't really aligned with mainstream Democrats or with the progressives, or with anybody else particularly. If anything, you might call her more "technocrat" than anything else.

But at the end of the day I hope I've answered your question as to why liberal = left in the US. Because liberal means pro-equality, and for whatever historical reasons, equality moved from mere legal equality to a more robust equality of opportunity. And we use "classical liberal" to distinguish the old liberal from the new.
There was a somewhat veiled accusation that there was human intervention in game 2 (as in, a strong human player interceded to influence or outright override the computer's move). Funny that in those days the cheating accusation involved a human behind the scenes instead of a computer.
I'm pretty sure if NoScript had a default that allowed *.domain and domain, most sites would render quite ok. That's my experience from using it for years and years. There are sites that require a few extra things, however many of those are repeated across sites: google fonts, jquery etc.

To be honest, I feel like there is a user-friendlier version of NoScript that should make us feel mostly unhindered. I don't know the consequences of always allowing the sites domain, though. Many trackers have their own domains.

You can do better than that. Assuming you don't care about portability, it is easy to tell if a disk is USB or not by poking around /sys. Linux also seems to have a notion of "removable disk", as the eject command can tell the difference, but I'm not sure what that looks at.

If I really cared, I would suggest setting up udev so the relevent disk is created with DAC permissions that allow you to flash it without needing root.

I thought they were pushing it when they announced MV3, which would purposely can ad blockers. But this would finally put the nail to this coffin.

"By the time DOE, now known as NEO, was released in 1995,[1] Sun had already moved on to Java as their next big thing. Java was now the GUI of choice for client-side applications, and Sun's OpenStep plans were quietly dropped (see Lighthouse Design). NEO was re-positioned as a Java system with the introduction of the "Joe" framework,[2] but it saw little use. Components of NEO and Joe were eventually subsumed into Enterprise JavaBeans.[3]"
