I used to live a few blocks from the AA Arena in Miami. I could always tell when a Heat game had just finished because my cell reception would drop to 1 bar or lose connection altogether. Then a few seconds later you'd hear the crowd of people reaching the parking lot right by my building.
I always wondered when twitter is ultimately shuttered if they will hand off (at least all the public facing) tweet to some place like the the library of congress for historical purposes.
Upstream in this case is NixOS, even if very little actual code ended up being used (basically just the builder/evaluator daemon)

States with open primaries suffer from the same polarization. I think the root cause of a polarized two party system goes much deeper than that.
interesting. also from that article, he openly acknowledged that he was wrong:

> Biden has backtracked since the ’80s and ’90s. Before he left the Senate to become vice president, he pushed to pull back tougher prison sentences for crack cocaine — an effort that helped lead to a law that President Barack Obama signed in 2010. And he’s recently acknowledged his mistakes.

> “I haven’t always been right,” Biden said earlier this year, speaking to criminal justice issues. “I know we haven’t always gotten things right, but I’ve always tried.” (Asked about Biden’s record, his spokesperson pointed to this speech, but did not respond to further questions.)

thanks for the pointer.
After what just happened to Hong Kong, why does Musk think this is a reasonable idea? Why does he expect Taiwan to think it's a good idea?

Musk should shut up and go away. He's not a diplomat or an expert on international relations, and he's making himself look stupid by saying stuff that is obviously dumb.

I get that this was said in jest and I laughed.

But I do think it is worth pointing out there is nothing wrong with folks doing something to scratch their own itch. It does not have to be hugely popular or have a ton of users. If the sysadmins care enough to keep it running, that it literally all that matters...

Wrong nail. My home router runs OpenWRT. While it's not a 100% guarantee to be safe, it's a lot better than any closed-sourced firmware.

That said, if the choice is limited to closed-sourced firmware options, it's best to choose a reputable brand, so that the list of people who can access your router is limited to three letter agencies (US and China), as opposed to random scammers, like with all these malware-ridden Android phones from Aliexpress: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/android-malware-that-comes-...

So, yes. Not buying network equipment on Aliexpress is a sound advice.

> Your original claim was "nobody accuses the proponents of those laws of being motivated by racism."

The phrase “those laws” refers to the immediately preceding “lots of other laws.” Not “all other laws.” The point is that people are selective about whether they throw around accusations of racism when a law has discriminatory impacts. Not that they allege racism only with respect to the drug war.

As to conservatives making accusations that abortion is racist, they’re dumb and wrong.

But the discriminatory impact of abortion on Black people is undeniable. According to Guttmacher, the Black abortion rate is five times higher than the white abortion rate. Black population growth as a percentage of the population has been stagnant for decades. That will directly lead to loss of Black political power as Hispanics have overtaken them as the largest minority group, and soon Asians will overtake them as well.

And the recency is there too. People point to the things Nixon said about the drug war. But read about Nixon’s Population Control Commission!
Yes, and in my experience, sometimes the off-brand version may be exactly the same in almost every way, except there may be a few components that they skimp on. Otherwise, they will look identical on the outside.

I would say anonymity is necessary but not sufficient for security. So while you might be able to devise an example that _only_ uses anonymity that can be defeated, that would be meaningless because in real life there would be other measures at work, too.

This is why Omertà–basically a vow of secrecy achieving anonymity as far as the police are concerned–is taken so seriously and why it has been such a big deal the few times it’s been broken. But Omertà isn’t the only tool employed–they use guns, safe houses, all kinds of other tools and methods to ensure their security.

> security is a binary (can an attacker gain access to information)

Only if you're looking through a very narrow lens.

There are a range of potential attackers out there with different motivations and resources available to them. The question you have to ask (for each attacker) is whether the value of the thing you are trying to secure is worth more to them than the cost it would take them to break your security.

In aggregate, that looks a lot like a spectrum of security, with different people being secure against more or fewer different attackers.
> The only way WWIII happens is if we appease Russia.

I mean that is obviously overly dramatic posturing nonsense.

If we give them the territory they hold today they're in no shape to take anything else, and they certainly won't launch WWIII.

I don't support appeasement in any way, but that isn't the road to WWIII.

> Modern designers seem to have very little respect for users

Tragedy of the commons. In general it’s probably a good idea to hold a healthy disrespect for your average user.

Power users used to be the norm, and as that changed, so did the design.
Another way of thinking about things is that whoever is setting these incentives are indirectly designing the software, which obviously causes issues.

It’s shockingly easy for large companies to completely destroy useful software loosing out on billions per year with nothing obvious to blame.
Ya I was actually thinking about all of this today in the context of allocating the space and resources to develop something into that 3rd level of experience, and basically agree with everything you just said for the same reasons. I didn't get into hiking at the same time as biking or skateboarding, I developed depth in each gradually, which allows me to engage in them with less overhead over time.

I tend not to explore things that I anticipate I'll want to go deep with if I don't feel like I can make way for them yet. I'm gradually dipping my toe into hobbyist electronics stuff, very very slowly, but I've made space for it by already having appropriate kit for more lengthy day hikes, skateboarding, programming, and whatever else. Trying to solder something for the first time this weekend won't prevent me from doing a 30km hike the next day, because I don't need to spend time researching head lamps or shoes. If I wanted to expand into mountaineering, which I do, I'd need to be comfortable with leaving my other things for a bit, which only comes once they're less demanding to maintain

If the people working with tools like ESLint or TypeScript don't appreciate what they're doing for them, then yeah they'll work around them.

I guess you need to teach people like that how they can work with the tools to get things done, with higher quality results.

For my part I very much appreciate that ESLint and TypeScript can help me write better code, they're helpful and consistent reminders. I understand that I should use ===, I understand I should check for null, but without the tools I won't remember to do it in 100% of the cases I should.

> more connected to my culture as I am more aware of holidays and other traditions that were lost when the Gregorian calendar took over.

Didn’t every culture basically use a lunar calendar before the Gregorian calendar? I remember reading that the oldest lunar calendar was found in Scotland or something.

Totally relate to your comments about being closer to nature when being aware of the moon cycle. It’s like we’re living in a clock and we’re using the gears to keep time instead of the hour hand.

makes me wish more of pre-Christian European culture had persisted.
They didn't mention it was AirFrance in their origninal comment, and when they said "in France", I assumed an intra-France flight. Many regional & LCC carriers in Europe operate Airbus planes exclusively.
One of the things to note that it is possible that they've already sold their IP to another company (or in talks to do so). Some other company may then object to your use of the licensed material in violation of their exclusive license for the IP.

As noted with the Spiderman fun, IP may not be simple. Some other organization may already own part of the IP from another deal (e.g. Sony owning Spiderman and MCU as part of Marvel Studios / Disney not being able to use Spiderman as a character until a deal was reached).

It is clearly failing for this use case.

Security can't be seen as a one-size-fits all threat models. That will never be satisfactory, as requirements vary.

For most people in most scenarios 2FA is a net positive.

But denial of service is also a component of evaluating threat models. Here we're discussing cases where 2FA causes denial of service which is worse than any risk of getting the account stolen by password guessing.
huh...that's weird. I guess it depends on where one goes to school. This for sure is not what I got out of my business classes.

Most were how to keep employees, even low-wage employees, how to make them happy despite low wages...

I think also, just because a b-school says this, we all have our own minds. There's a lot of other stuff to learn in b-school that is helpful, at least it was to me. The stuff I don't like, I just don't pay attention to it.

Most of the classes that I took in business school were and are invaluable to me. But, I read other stuff other than what is in b-school, there are a ton of books that say how to treat employees right, how to use them as a marketing assist to help what customers want, and all that.

We go to school to hopefully learn how to learn - how to be autodidactical.

Let's all temper our expectations. Get knowledge from multiple places. Reject what you don't want, keep what is useful and ethical to you.

I never understood the hate people have for different majors. Some hate b-schools, some hate computer science majors, some hate art, some hate etc, etc, etc.

Chill, everyone, learn where you can. Accept and reject specific items as you see fit. It's all good.
2.5 Gb is becoming the new 1 Gb. 10 Gb networking gear is still often a significant premium over 1 Gb gear but 2.5 Gb is approaching the point where a smart future proofing move would be to avoid buy 1 gig networking gear going forward even if you don’t have a use for more than 1 Gb network speeds right now.

Then it’s a question of why is someone looking for a small, inexpensive PoE switch and PoE cameras are the most likely use I can think of.
I'm in the same boat; it's always a pain for services you don't login to that often but do need every 1-2 years. Account recovery ranges from "a pain" to "damn near impossible". I wasn't able to recover my PayPal account for example.

I also don't use my phone much, and the only reason I even have one of those things is because it's "needed" for so many things.
The key is to just focus on what is going to actually relevant to you. You should always ask yourself, how does this piece of information affect me? Most of the time though the news being peddalled by major media and other sources with a lot of views has no effect on my life. Go ahead and skim a major national news site and try to find something that will be relevant to you. It's hard. I couldn't do it when I tested with the cnn homepage just now, or some of the larger reddit news subreddits' first 25 posts. At that point all that information is trivia, but its held to such importance that you'd think you were doing an injustice not keeping up with it.
Without the cost centre, there would be no profit. Financialisation is a dangerous rabbit hole to run down whose profit accrues to those that promote and enforce it.
I never understand the American way to fix these issue. They do have good intention, we can see that, but somehow the perspective of how they see the problem is distorted, which let to distorted answer. I think many of us can see it, but can't say it aloud.

Unless we see others as friends — that everyone is flawed human being, including yourself, that share this same world, and one day have to left this world altogether sooner or later, then I don't see how this problem will genuinely get fixed.

What they did instead is amped up individualistic ego and make the divide even more...divide.
Author here. It's clear that you genuinely believe my intent here is to be deceptive, so I think your comment deserves a thoughtful response. For context, I work on a computational biology infrastructure company that only uses cloud computing; my incentive is for more scientific computing to be on the cloud.

Responses to your points below. Azure does have some better HPC infrastructure than AWS, so maybe some of my response to your comment will be wrong. I'm happy to talk about this more if you want, you can reach me using the email address in my profile.

Spot/pre-emptible instances vs. the prices in this post: large CPU/RAM instances have availability issues, especially for spot instances. I spent a lot of time trying to exploit spot instance pricing, and for standard (run command-line tool that reads in file and writes out files) bioinformatics programs, spot instances haven't made sense averaging their performance over a long period after factoring in restarts and their corresponding data transfer vs. other options for decreasing instance cost (reserved instances, negotiating, etc).

Sending S3 links: yeah, AWS makes sending data easier! Although if the destination is not within same same cloud provider (or region), you get hit with a surprising large charge for sufficiently large files.

Input size vs. output size and storing the results: generally, I agree. Cloud storage costs aren't unreasonable for S3, but I want to note how significantly the pipeline can differ. A new Illumina NovaSeq sequencer (about the size of a copy machine) with dual S4 flow cells produces 6Tb every couple days. Some pipelines are definitely inefficient, but others have more raw data. Storing that data in an infrequent access or archive tier decreases the restore speeds and increases the restore cost. If you have 100 TB of data, that increases the cost of re-running data – especially if it's in cold storage or archived.

Improved algorithms and re-running large sets of data: sure, it's a trade-off between cost and the bandwidth of a queue than you can run. For some use cases, the cloud does make sense.

Hardware improvement cycles in bioinformatics: what software are they using in bioinformatics that uses a GPU, AlphaFold? From what I've seen, most computational genomics still happens on a CPU, although fields like computational chemistry use more GPUs.

Infrastructure components and easily installable components: yeah, this is a definite value-add of cloud services, and the off-AWS/GCP/Azure analogues aren't as good yet.

Cost of networking equipment vs. by-the-hour in a cloud: yeah, if you want results quickly and occasionally, this makes sense.

Overall, this post is about most of scientific computing, not all. For this to work, you need a smoothable queue of jobs. Most computational science (by % of compute) run in this context, in universities, larger/growing co's, and government research institutions. If you want instant scalability, the math is different.
I do have to wonder how much of that is due to fake accounts.

I was looking over Wikipedia's lists of most watched youtube videos and wondered the same thing there. Lots of them are music videos and I'm sure recording companies are inflating the views to some extent, especially early in.
> Why have security? So some random, untrusted person can't compromise the account.

I know why there should be security. I was pointing out that what you suggested would degrade security.

It's not whether one specific person would do anything with 30 phones' backup codes but that such a list would exist. There are many other valid security practices that can be used.

I'd say "the classics". Don't ignore older texts - the basics won't (don't, can't) change; the language of choice changes every year but the basics are still the same.

* Tanenbaum on Computer Networks, and Structured Computer Organization (the examples are old but the fundamentals are very clear and very applicable)

* Kernighan's original C book

* Brooks Mythical Man-Month

* Aho on Compilers (dragon book)

* Abelson's Structure and Interpretation (for familiarity with algorithm basics)

* Hofstadter on Godel (fun)

I got a ceiling fan a few months back. The wireless remote had no FCC id on it. The box in the fan did. I opened the remote and the plastic was oddly formed, and there was only one nonsense word printed on the pcb, and "v1.0". The microcontroller didn't even have anything printed on it. I listened to it with an sdr and it was in the 434MHz band, and not overly noisy. It probably would have passed if someone had payed for it to be tested... If I'd purchased it on AliExpress or even ebay I wouldn't have been surprised, but it was a front page prime-day deal. I knew Amazon was iffy, but this was a straight up illegal product.
