The family in the West has been attacked and decimated and denigrated and deprecated. I am not sure whether it can survive.

Women's/universal adult suffrage damaged our family unit by saying that the single voice/vote for a household is insufficient and the household must have many separate voices, thus dividing a house against itself. President Lincoln knew the perils of this.

Divorce and worse, remarriage tore into the family by saying it wasn't necessarily permanent.

Abortion, same-sex marriage, gender ideology, gang culture, public schools, all sorts of things have chipped away at family unity and said that individualism and personal sovereignty is king. Well, I'm sorry but that's just not how human beings can live.

Homelessness and poverty in general are real problems for families. Because families are unwilling to tolerate living with a relative or supporting a relative who is unwilling/incapable of supporting himself, they turn that relative out into the world and force him to fend for himself. Others live off public assistance. Public assistance is a scourge of an anti-family society that doesn't have enough religious charity to support people. The rise of the welfare state is a shameful travesty, a knock-on effect from the failure of Christianity and the family.

I've said in prior threads that there's no real poverty in these United States except where you work for it, but the true poverty, the devastating poverty, is to be alone, and isolated from one's family, and to feel rejected and unwanted. The rising culture of incels is a symptom of the family's failure to nurture and value blood relationships.

It's a shame that so many people are growing up abused and/or neglected, but that's not the fault of the abusers, it's a systemic, generational fault in society.
It has earned its title as "one of the two hardest problems in computer science": cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.
Protesting lockdowns in China == pro-democracy

That's the pattern here. Anything that goes farther than what the US govt is doing is authoritarian. Anything critical of what the US govt is doing is "fascism"

I found the parent and your comment really insightful. I think they are right that technology has aided an individual in accomplishing things they would need others for, and one can more easily stand alone. I think you're absolutely right that the global perspective of online social media has made it difficult to build an identify that is your own. There are countless examples of others doing any interest you could to a better degree than yourself. It leads to a lot of self-doubt and isolation. I'm very happy to have the online resources we have today and would choose the muck of Facebook/Twitter/Youtube/etc over not having them any day of the week. However, I do recognize it was easier for me to take pride in my own ability and grow my own expertise in an area in "true isolation", disconnected from online humanity. Online groups to share your interests with - to me - do not feel as intimate as what some would turn to church or a community center for back in the 80s/90s.

We are alone and not special. I'm trying to explore the advantages of that. I certainly find myself in less drama in a community I can readily disconnect from.

As an anecdote: I had a friend in high school who regularly said he wanted 'to be remembered', that his greatest goal in life was to have his name be recorded in history. I thought he was somewhat arrogant, but he truly wanted to become an Alexander the Great figure.

I'm considering it my own goal to be someone forgettable. I want to find comfort/success without recognition.
You can enable SSH connection persistence by adding this to ~/.ssh/config:

ServerAliveInterval 60
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/conn/%r@%h:%p
ControlPersist 1h

I use it to speed up new SSH connections after the first one is made, but it should also prevent the issue you've described.

The opposite of what you write is true. Physicists are eager to see where theory doesn't fit reality, that might even lead to a nobel price. Even statistical fluctuations are sometimes hyped as breakthrough experiments.

Speculation: git's _U_X is considered terrible, because it was not built to be used by _U_sers in the first place? It started as an opinionated tool for an opinionated workflow done by a small number of peers?
Are the protests in any way related to what happened at the latest party convention?
Maybe. But far more likely that there is, and always will be an unknown distance.

But there is no reason to think that distance is larger than a more complex concept like copenhagen that works for the mathematical model and is only inserted for the mental comfort of people with a particularly egotistical world view.
I personally (second hand, from someone who worked in a prison) know of a man who was imprisoned because he had sex with his 17 year old GF when he was 19.

I've heard about teenagers being prosecuted for taking nude photos of themselves [1] or to share with other teenage friends [2].

If your worst charge against Ian Miles Cheong is that he correctly pointed out draconian enforcement of these laws, then you're on the wrong side of this. The US imprisons too many people in general and this is no exception.

He's also correct that the age of consent in almost all of Europe is 16 or under. The only exceptions I see are Turkey and Vatican City.[3] The same is true in Canada and most of North America. It's even true in 32 US states. I don't see why that Tweet was included in the screenshot, as if we should be offended by the truth.

The other Tweets are offensive, but sound like jokes. Without context it's impossible to tell. MeidasTouch is clearly trying to attack Ian Miles Cheong so there's no reason to assume good faith (like not misrepresenting jokes as serious).

An eggcorn is a soundalike though, isn't it? Deliberately altering idioms to catch people's attention isn't an eggcorn IMO.
There’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiolect :

”Language consists of sentence constructs, choice of words, and expression of style. Accordingly, an idiolect is an individual's personal use of these facets. Every person has a unique idiolect influenced by their language, socioeconomic status, and geographical location.”
Super determinism is still simpler without adding an additional mechanism to separate decoherence and entanglement. Multiverse is still the null hypothesis.

You are the one who is trying to turn around the discussion all the time. So give me some straight answers:

You think punishing a woman for getting raped is acceptable?

You think punishing someone for being homosexual is acceptable?

You think treating workers building the Worldcup facilities like slaves by working them to death is acceptable?

Please give me straight yes/no answers to those. No more hand-wavy BS and then stating how accessible the Worldcup now is.

It's mind-bending how you can turn around and call criticizing these things a proxy for racism, or that it's just cultural difference.

> And should you boycott US also where random people kill innocent children regularly for no reason?

You're already admitting here how different it is. You say random people, and that's what it is. Individual people or a group of people misbehaving, acting against the law which can and does get prosecuted. Not always unfortunately, and there are systematic problems that need to be addressed, but unlike Qatar's many crimes against humanity, they are not institutionalized and written in law. Again, the West is by far not perfect, but compared to these kind of countries, we've come a very long way.

The Church-Turing thesis is what makes makes a result about Turning machines a theory about the empirical world rather than mere facts about a simplistic mathematical model of computation. So, the point is more like - "it's a science because it is an empirical observation about the natural world".

I work with many people from many cultures and countries.

We speak international English together and it works well. Everyone does mistakes, everyone has a strong accent.

People from Texas or Scotland may be native speakers but they are not necessarily easier to understand than people from Italy or Vietnam.

Some communicate better than others, but they are not necessarily the native speakers.

I think you should accept that international English is not perfect British English and it’s okay for it to be a bit broken. Of course you need to clarify when confusion is possible. Eventually everyone will improve.
Quora Marketing: Why and How to Use Quora for Your Startup
Discord treats any page load of a confirmation link as good, so to my surprise Gmail happily confirmed someone's attempt to open an account with my email address before I'd even gotten the confirmation mail. A lot of companies are very slack about email validation.
The fact that enspiral keeps coming up as an example tells me that doing this right is really hard; if it were easy there would be more examples people would mention, no?

After you've upgraded, did your data get auto-migrated? It is my understanding from Heroku docs that data move is a separate process from the upgrade of the plan itself, and if you don't force a copy, you'll lose all your data anyway.

It seems like data migration should've been at least a prompt when you upgrade an add-on, but it isn't, at least not for me.

You guess the MAC tag value of the message and measure how long it takes the server to return "bad MAC" error or behave in a way that means the MAC was bad. In 1/256 cases, it takes longer because the first byte was correct. You may need to send many queries to get the value because timing is noisy, but with statistics you'll find that value. Now you try all 256 possible values of the second byte and one of them will take longer because both 2 first bytes are correct. Repeat.

For the normal way to safely compare MAC values, see for example: https://docs.python.org/3/library/hmac.html#hmac.compare_dig...

If you want someone with a stronger track record in research, but with essentially the same message, there is Lee Smolin and his book "The Trouble with Physics".

(1) Google Scholar lists a person's publications in the order of the most cited first [1]. Hossenfelder's 2 most cited articles [2,3] try to figure out the implications of the idea of what if there is a minimum length scale in nature. (Like the speed of light is maximum possible speed. What is there is a minimum possible length, i.e. what if nature has a resolution, like computer graphics?)

I dont see anything wrong in collecting and blocking them for some time, not infinitely of course. Blocking at the firewall effectively means blocking further communication and requests that cost you bandwidth and computing time. Why not save that for the legitimate visitors?
>These tools are popular, but I think they're kind of silly.

Really? And how do you block someone who slowly try's (every 2-4 minutes) to bruteforce your smtp? Yes your openSSH has some slowdown mechanisms builtin, but your Imap-Server? Smtp-Server? Your openTTD-Server? However i think using the logs is the wrong approach hence my use of blacklistd* whenever possible.

This is a timing attack or timing oracle. Lets assume a mac represented in an array of 32 bytes. If we had a pseudocode method like:

byte [32] (actualMac, expectedMac)
for int x = 0..31
if (actualMac[x] != expectedMac[x])
return false;
fi
end
return true;

We return false as soon as we hit an invalid byte in our calculated mac. If the time taken to execute one iteration of the loop is Y and the attacker is able to time this method accurately they will be able to tell what the value of actualMac is by feeding known inputs. They will know because the return time will be 2Y when they have bailed after the first byte. 3Y after the second, 4Y after the third etc.

This is why we should check the arrays in constant time - compare every byte in both arrays before returning. We do not return early so we can’t leak information
Coda Hale’s old article on the topic is still good: https://codahale.com/a-lesson-in-timing-attacks/

(Note that Java’s MessageDigest.isEqual has been constant time since shortly after that article and you should use it rather than writing your own in Java).
Ask HN: Can you argue public/open-source code is publically funded/subsidized?
I have a tenuous argument in my head. Several years ago "The Social Contract" was talked about in political circles. The basic idea being that if you're a successful business you owe some portion of your success to the city you're based out of being clean, devoid of crime, regulated, etc. If you want to operate a business in this space, you must adhere to its rules and you may prosper because of its protections.

So here's what would be a very flawed argument: Can you say those contributing code to the public domain with open licenses were publically funded works? That the society which allowed them to create and contribute freely essentially funded or subsidized that development?

The objective would be to protect free and open-source software as publically funded works, whether the author has the resources to defend the work from other companies are not. Could you protect it as a third-party?

If this were true, you could compel companies to open software they've created derived from public works. The hideous other side of the coin is that countries could establish ownership rights over software created within their "borders". I know many go online and try to escape the society they live in because there are no borders online.
She’s a bit of a charlatan who leans too heavily on criticism of mainstream or even criticism and exaggeration of the Selena of developing theories.

There is an attraction to having “real” knowledge that everybody else is full of manure, i know some people whose small children have found conspiracy youtube and are struggling at dinner conversation over every “well actually”.
Ah yes, that is what we did in the end for the database. But that is not our main issue, rather that we do not get any more instances for our k8s cluster and those we can sadly not just spin up somewhere else.

Well, interesting. This is one of the reasons we have the GDPR. @costco, if I were to make a GDPR erasure request, would you service it?

And I'm no lawyer, but it seems like there's also an outside chance of a breach of section 171 here as well, which is a criminal offence committed by a person who reidentifies de-identified data.

Plus - the laws have extraterritoriality. Vanishingly unlikely that you'd actually be pursued for it, but it's worth bearing in mind when you munge people's personal data.
Nowhere did he mention salary levels. The main reason we work is to make money, if worker cooperatives makes you less money then that would be the biggest reason to not join one. I really doubt there are many cooperatives paying more than FAANG, so why not just join one of those instead?
It's an EU law.
For an example: I am enrolled in a woodworking class my Park District has. It is $50 for about 8 classes. YouTube is great but having an expert to ask questions to is priceless.
I am also planning on getting a membership to a maker community that has a full shop (just bring your own wood). All the tools you could need. Especially valuable since I live in an apartment and can’t set up my own space if I wanted to. Plus they also have things like metal welding, textiles, electronics facilities and more if I want to branch out from the woodworking. $50 a month. The people I’ve met there also buy in to the community aspect so they are very, very helpful.
Make use of these options if you have them in your city.

I helped run a housing coop in the US several years ago, not something that I ever thought to put on my tech resume, but I'd be interested to hear if someone wants to start a digital coop near me, I suppose..
Why do you believe a cooperative would have been better?
> only the second world war seems to have a clear narrative of victory over evil

I thought you were being ironic up to here.
With extraterritoriality. And if identifying people in this way is covered (I'm not a lawyer, I'm not claiming it definitely is), then it's also possible that EU citizens using the tool are committing a criminal offence.

The law seems to only apply where the deidentification has been made by the data controller, but HN admins changing someone's username, for example, if they ever do, would count. A person then using the tool to match another non-anonymous username to that account would seem to be caught.

Important to stress how much of a technicality this is, but that sort of thing can be interesting sometimes.
How do you know you will actually have money in a couple weeks?
I did something far cruder which is also how paredit itself works internally.

Redefine the meaning of moving up, down, left or right by syntactic token. In Python up/down is either by block (try, if, etc.) or by s-exp ([], {}, etc.) which Emacs is already capable of doing.

By doing that you can effectively teach paredit a little bit about how the language works, as you're moving point around for it.

Note that my crude hack was never more than a prototype. Though it did work in more places than it ought to.
