I worked in a office in late 1990s/early 2000s when it transitioned from Novell NetWare on DOS and Windows 3 to Windows 95 and 98 on the internet.

People using the internet on their work machines added so many problems:

- People spending a lot of time on shopping or porn. (This was before Facebook, and I don't think MySpace was around or popular yet.)

- People downloading and installing software they shouldn't. Which ranged from pirated software to adware to malware, or even something benign that conflicted with the tools they needed for their job. (This was mostly fixed when we migrated people to Windows 2000.)

- Viruses.

- People set up file sharing nodes for music and porn.

All of these problems came about once we added access to the internet.

Admittedly, it should have been rolled out differently, perhaps using something like Windows NT with firewalled networks.

But giving people access to the internet just allowed a lot of people who were naive to shoot themselves in the foot and waste a lot of resources fixing their computers.
Firefox here because it works well and I think it's important to have at least two independent browser engine implementations. If Chromium ends up being the only engine around then the web protocols will basically be whatever Chromium does. We've already lived through this nightmare with IE controlling the whole market.
There is indeed already (and long-standing) a Mac-specific Emacs port: https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac and I have no doubt that it would add `ns-do-applescript` right back if it were removed from the upstream. I am also very curious about the breakdown of Emacs Mac users: how many are using the Mac port and how many the GNU upstream?

I use Emacs on Mac OS and I can certainly say that I use it for the features -- it is the editor that best suits me -- not because of the license or anything like that. If it were to become insufficiently featureful, I would pick a different editor, not change my entire OS.
Everyone is talking about AfD instead of the original point of this thread. Every time there are big demonstrations in Berlin, trains stop running, highways are closed. You are talking about AfD as if they are the culprit.
I wish you personally an AfD-free country. You will then first hand experience the totalitarian state structures, who needs an opposition anyway? Away with it!!
I’m a founder, not a sales person, but we don’t have any sales staff. So I, along with my CEO, do all of our demos. We split the responsibility. Our product does many things, and I could just speed talk through a demo. But I don’t. I directly ask the person what they want to see, and how they feel we can help them. If they don’t know, that’s fine, I have material prepared. But I’d much rather you tell me how I can help you, and then we drive the call from there.
If Kyndryl breached their contract with Aer Lingus, then they're liable.

If Kyndryl wants to sue a third party to see if they can recoup some of that cost, that's their business.
It's the homeopathic backup problem — they make sure to have a backup because they know that's best practice, but they don't have any checks in place to make sure the backup works.
Details are sketchy at this moment, but Aer Lingus runs lots of AS400 and Mainframe, MVS/ESA, IMS, DB2 and all that stuff. From the linked description on one of the articles

"...construction work damaged a fiber optic cable, wiping out the carrier’s check-in and boarding systems. Issues compounded after it was found that a network card used in the airline’s backup systems was not functioning, leaving Aer Lingus without passenger information for up to ten hours..."

So this looks like they had a backup location, but the new Kyndryl ( IBM ) team had not tested failover in a while... They are probably just trying to recover standard contract fees from Kyndryl specified in their SLA's

Edit:
They sent this message at the time to their customers

https://img2.thejournal.ie/inline/5868785/original/?width=63...
What was the other third party? I assume the argument will be the airline paid for redundant data centers and IBM didn’t live up to that portion of the contract.
Commit description should contain the command to generate the change. Your review the command plus spot check actual changes and CI signals.
I use Firefox because it's the LESS proprietary of modern WebVM "featured" enough to use modern web(cr)applications.

It feel less fluid and less comfortable for some aspects than WebKit-based WebVM monsters, but it's still enough, it allow vertical tabs (tab center reborn + custom CSS to hide the tab-bar), it feature a decrappyfier (Firefox Reader) to being able to read most once-called websites in text without too much crap, still allow a decent ad blocking/tracking blockers.

I would prefer Chromium on Brave simply because it's better being in well-known devils hands instead of in devils dressed as angels hands. For similar reasons I do not have used (beside few tests) Opera nor old nor new in the past.
They are also bringing back ads even with paid subscription.
No he’s really not
Go apply I'm sure they're hiring seeing as they'll hire anyone.
This looks like a great opportunity to learn a lesson and hire competent people to run their infrastructure, along with the associated cost of being redundant and highly available.
I was around in the heyday of the ThinkPad, and this is (mostly) backward.

It was always the standard kit of the stereotypical scruffy Linux hacker, but it was mostly just a really good laptop. The connoisseur's choice, reliable, repairable, and IBM would come to you and fix it on the desk if you paid them.

A lot of that demographic have switched to MacBooks or one of the many ultrabook-type laptops of a similar design language, and what's left is the crew who valued the ability to hack on the machine.

They were always there, but they're most of what's left.
> Many people are simply controlled without realising it.

I'm sure that's true in general, and you'll never know whether you did someone else's bidding without realizing it, unless they tell you (but would you believe them?) or you uncover some huge conspiracy (but then who says that's not fake to make you do something else?). I vaguely remember an interview that Adam Curtis made with some British economist for one of his movies concerning stagflation and the general direction of the economy and wages at that time, and he said something like "when I can't sleep, I sometimes wonder whether what we did was exactly what someone wanted and they knew what would happen".

As for Die Linke, (the far-left wing of the) SPD and the Greens, I don't believe they're malicious. I believe they mean well, even though I probably disagree with them on most of their core issues.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/

Their subreddit blurb (jokingly) is quite relevant to the article: "It's a Digital Disease!"

I feel like it's a balance between keeping redundant digital possessions (duplicates, outdated files, unidentifiable artifacts), having a healthy distrust of things persisting in the cloud, and a desire to keep a digital legacy.
being ONLINE and consuming an ONLINE service implies you can access your ONLINE email account
> Plus the streaming services work on my phone which is pretty neat when I'm stuck somewhere.

FYI, that’s true of most cable networks now as well. They’ve all developed apps that are hybrids of (legitimized) IPTV streaming of their live broadcast of the channels available in your package, plus VOD catalogues of seemingly-random seasons of shows (i.e. the ones they happen to currently have licensed for syndication at any given time.)
This is besides the point in regards to the article but I think it’s fascinating that we’ve abstracted away everything from assembly to the point where we start making new virtual machines line the JVM and webassembly. It’s like the snake is eating itself.
I've found it sufficient to keep the list of pending tasks as a checklist in README.md or an ISSUES.md file.

I like keeping it right there alongside the code so they stay together.

Your argument is based on a fallacy. The whole reason PHP became popular was that it was easy to get started with. The barrier for using PHP or JavaScript is very low. The opposite is true for a language like Clojure.
they also own braintree and some of stripe.
> Mills wrote, in a 2003 paper. “Today, the Sun never sets or even gets close to the horizon on NTP.”

I'd guess the capitalized "Sun" was a pun, for the Sun Microsystems computers that still ran much of the Internet. For example: https://www.sunmanagers.org/1992/1188.html
> In our research sample, some people had gathered more than 40 terabytes (TB) of digital content over time.

Good lord. I need to step up!

Jokes aside, I, like others here, realize the surprisingly fragile nature of digital storage, even in the "cloud". I don't hoard things I don't need, I hoard things I know I won't find again in 10-15 years due to algorithm optimization, or a change in public opinion.

This also applies to family photos and videos that I will cherish and, had I not taken the time and effort, would gravely regret not having.
Seems to be a fair amount of recent interest in 10gbE home networking. I bought a Brocade ICX6450 based on this thread with 24 Poe+ ports and 4 SFP+ ports for about $100 on eBay with free shipping - it works amazingly well and powers my entire home network.

Bit of a learning curve, but I found the CLI interface to be similar enough to Junos, which I learned while managing EX switches.
> Every time there are big demonstrations in Berlin, trains stop running, highways are closed

Exaggerating much, aren't we?
If that period really was remarkable, I think the outcome of a worse period is just lower expected returns, not the end of the world. Japan is often used as an example. But, if you invested regularly in Japanese stocks over that period of stagnation, I think with dividends its still a fine investment.
Without you proving an example, my best guess is that the site is using weak ciphers or old SSL/TLS versions. Technically, it has some security but not good enough by today's standards.

If you run into that issue again, try running it though https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
Excellent tool for families to deal with inflation, and if it is associated with the Blockchaun, I think security and trust is a factor to take into account. Thank you very much Kmilo
Cable packages are a win-win for everyone? This is going to be breaking news for the tens of millions of people who've dropped cable; please elaborate.
Omg, #1! I had to buy a product in the big data space last year. Company was all in on “buy” after some build vs buy discussion.

I kept asking for demos and getting these weird intros with non technical folks who couldn’t give a demo!
It's insulting enough that Intel can "take away" features... And we can't even replace their code with our own.
Macs are not and never will be ideal for gaming. Apple execs don’t care about gaming, don’t understand it, are not interested in it, are not willing to do what is necessary to excel in gaming. Lots of people at Apple are working on game-adjacent technologies and their efforts are doomed because the execs sabotage every gaming opportunity eventually.
using two tokens makes sense only if you have cqrs system. otherwise it's a complexity that brings no value.
They probably mean that prevailing interest rates will triple.

IMHO that sales calls are recorded is the bigger issue. People talk about their health in video chat because they feel it's a private conversation. I wouldn't shame people for talking about private matters but rather question why 1000 sales calls were (long-term?) recorded and transcribed.
> Free Software is software where you're obligated

I think that sums up the root of the entire debate. :)
I suggest adding ClearURLs add-on as well to strip extra URL crap :-)
> Only genes/traits matter.

and yet almost every selection mechanism can only operate on phenotypic forms. The nature of a "species" is a shorthand for "sufficiently distinctive phenotype(s) that evolution will operate distinctly on this group of individuals", and in this sense, "species" do matter.

> Extinction of traits in favor of better ones is baked in to the very definition.

I don't know what definition you're talking about, but this also completely wrong. Evolution can generate new traits without old ones vanishing, and that can be true whether the new ones have higher or lower fitness than the old. Evolution is a change generation mechanism primarily; selection is a secondary mechanism and at various times and places, selection pressure can be extraordinarily weak, allowing a large diversity of traits to coexist.

Wrong thread maybe? I'm on mobile and didn't see a single ad.

> they've gone from 2.5 mm in the T420 (2011) to 1.5 mm in the T14 G3 (2022). 1 mm doesn't sound like on paper, but you immediately notice the difference if you switch between them

Absolutely correct. For context, typical Cherry MX mechanical keyboard switches have a total travel around 4mm. We’re very sensitive to switch height.
FYI, the sample demo is broken for me. When I hit play it the whole frame "vibrates", apparently switching between two (nearby) sizes every frame or so. (Hotspots are still clickable.) Resizing the window or moving to a different DPI screen doesn't help. Chrome 106.0.5249.103 on Win10.
Just to be skeptical here: I grant that the genetic evidence demonstrates they were foreign, but what is the evidence that they were mercenaries? That is, that they were professional soldiers taking money in exchange for fighting in battles. Might they have been allies? Slaves? Might some of the Greeks also have been mercenaries? Perhaps this is discussed in the paper, even if it's not mentioned in the article.

I pay over $400 a year in property taxes to support our library system, but I'd be happy to pay twice that, partly because I get a huge amount of use out of the system (including ebooks, though honestly I prefer paper unless there a ton more holds), but also because it's one of the most tangible contributions to the quality of life in my city I fell I can make. Obviously roads without potholes and firefighters are great too...
Your first and second sentence made me laugh out loud because I thought it was a joke. The explanation makes perfect sense though - buy and hold beats the average attempt at market timing.

That's... kinda of letdown. Was expecting a more intrigued approach but apparently HN is slow enough for guessing to work.
A.k.a. you can find an article saying anything if you search hard enough. And a paragraph or sentence is easier.
Well spotted! Perhaps macro economists are so used to thinking in terms of growth rate that they forgot to specify it.
Satoshi would have been content with the current state of crypto, being a de facto vehicle for ransomware, serving as a tool for pushing society down the toilet drain?

Consider his unease when Wikileaks started soliciting funds in BTC. If he were all about uncontrollable money he would not have sounded unhappiness about his ballgame being used by Wikileaks.
It was hardly successful outside Apple, and IBM systems, not sure.
My memory was that the tokens enter a pool of tokens and that neither government or endpoint is able to trace which user used which token and they’re one-time use tokens, so users are unable to share them.

Never really gave system much thought at the time, since governments rarely want less data or to provide anonymous access — and average person does not care about anonymous access, in fact, in my experience they want everything logged. Same topic could easily be applied to numerous functions such as border crossings, but governments want to track who is crossing instead of just checking individual authorization to enter.
Ignoring the content of this channel (as I have not watched it, so dunno if it breaks YT monetization rules or not), pretty much the "fastest" way of getting a channel "re-reviewed" is twitter. But you also need some high profile, "high engagement" account tweeting @teamyoutube about your cause. This method is often quicker than and/or more favorable than YT own appeal tools.

YouTube's own human appeals process is often done by a low paid contractor who often won't view the video as a whole to gain context and only watch the section flagged by the AI, may have the language of the video as a second language, so may miss certain idioms of your speech. These contractors want to process as many reviews as quick as possible so they aint got time to look more closely / get another opinion of what was actually said or not actually be reviewed by a human at all and an AI takes a stab at trying to figure out if you "heavly reuse content".

One of the current "tricks" to getting a video monetized is to upload multiple copies of it with very slight changes (a perfect hash match triggers a "you already uploaded this" error iirc) and playing the numbers game, waiting for the bot to review them all, if none are "green" for ads, request review on all the uploads, chances are they will be reviewed by differnt people and hope of them sees that your content follows the guidelines and approves it, delete the ones that don't get approved, if you get multiple approvals pick one to make public and delete the rest.

The Twitter path (if you can get enough engagement) usually gets it infront of a YT employee to have a closer more indepth look and may come to another decision, if you can't get the engagement then with a whole channel demonetization then your next best thing if to still pump out the content as best as you can to YT's specs and re-apply in 30 days.

But the Twitter method can also "backfire", we have seen on multiple occasion when one channel got a video agegated or demonetized, complaigned on Twitter that other channels covered the same thing and were fine, got the restriction removed and then got the restriction reapplied and also getting the other channels videos restricted/demonetized.

I understand why YT don't publish a CLEAR set of guidelines (much like why game dev's don't publish extactly what they use to detect cheats) because someone will always game the system, however I know more and more YT creators getting highly frustrated with YT because they follow the guidlines, get struck/restricted/demonetized and on follow up get told they broke a rule YT have never publicly published. So they feel its a bit like playing football blindfolded, you know roughly where the goal posts are but you can never be sure when you kick the ball if you are going to hit the goal esp if you feel that YT are moving the posts and changing the size of the goal without telling anyone.

> In our survey of 846 respondents representing the general population, we found that digital hoarding can lead to higher levels of anxiety. Statistically, 37% of one's total level of anxiety, measured using an established depression, anxiety, and stress scale, was explained by digital hoarding.

I'm sorry: if there is a human who can attribute 37% of their total life anxiety to having too many files stored, they probably own a yacht.

What a fantastically stupid sentence.

the x220 has a trackpad, but it's kind of an afterthought. It's disabled on my machine.
Well.ca and leevalley.com both offer free shipping over x amount.
I got an X1 about a year ago because I thought it would be a satisfactory replacement for an X220. The screen, sound and battery life are definitely big improvements, but the Trackpoint never worked well and the ridiculously thin keyboard was a real disappointment. When a few keys stopped working (after ~ 1 year), I improvised with a wireless Mac keyboard. It would be nice to get the keyboard working but it looks like that involves many tricky steps and very tiny screws and I resent having to fix something that is not pleasing to begin with.

I realized that the X1's great display, battery life and keyboard didn't make me as happy as the X220's amazing keyboard and operational Trackpoint. So I found a replacement battery which looked like it wouldn't catch on fire and I'm back to the X220. My new adventure is figuring out how to move Office 2019 from the old computer to the new one.
I think it is very unlikely to be Hal Finney either. Andy Greenberg's interview with Finney a few months prior to his death, with Finney's wife and son also being present convinced me of that at least. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2014/03/25/satosh...
Unless it's a blinded token. In which case the endpoint cannot match the token that was issued to the token that was spent. They can only verify that the token is valid.

I first saw them used with Clouflare's Privacy Pass https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy-pass, they've also been used with Google's trust token proposal.
