> Afaik this is not the case for fingerprints.

Generally correct, but it's interesting that identical twins have similar but distinct fingerprints. The exact prints are different, but they tend to have the same broader patterns of print.
This reminds me of the fight I had to hire an Infrastructure Engineer (they call them DevOps, these days).

It was like pulling teeth, but, in fairly short order, the chap I hired became the most popular member of the team.
I don't understand this. I just flew from West to East Coast, then back, on another airline. Left on time from origin and transfer airport both ways, and arrived early on all flights. The "bomb cyclone" has been gone days, and SW passengers are still stuck, sleeping on floors, or have their bags hundreds of miles away.
Our family was in San Jose last week when our Southwest flight was cancelled.

It used to be that my first priority would be to go into the terminal and try to talk to somebody. I figured they were the experts. From what I've read, the staff use an antiquated system that takes you from one airport to another, then they can try to get you from that city to where you want to go. That's why there's so much tapping of keys and why it takes so long.

It's better to present them with a route that you've found on Google Flights or similar. The Southwest first flight out was supposed to be yesterday evening, the day after Christmas. In our case, the only thing we could find before Christmas was getting us from SJC to Seattle via Phoenix on Alaska. We ended up renting a car and driving home to Portland. Things got bad around Eugene - I stopped counting after 40 wrecked cars and semis - and got worse as you got closer to Portland.
Not in Newport with a view.
I'm not really sure how this anecdote is relevant. Are you denying that flash drives fail? Are you endorsing not having a backup plan?

Just to offer a counter anecdote, I had a flash drive fail with my kdbx file on it and it was a monumental pain in the ass to recover from because I didn't have backups. Have backups. Especially for critical passwords that lock you out of everything. Flash drives do fail. Statistical failures SPECIFICALLY mean that some people will not fail, but that doesn't mean failures don't happen or that they're unlikely/uncommon.
It might help a lot if you could post a picture of it.

> > The point is to find a person that is qualified and represents the will of the people. Electing a president is a tradeoff between efficiency and accuracy. A lottery would be much more efficient, but much less accurate in finding the "best" candidate for president. Elections are less efficient, but better than a lottery at choosing a competent and representative candidate.

The random winner of the lottery would try just as hard to follow the will of the people in order to be popular and convince the population to postpone the next lottery as much as they possibly can and thus stay in power.

> > It's random chance that Daniel is famous. However, now that he's famous, we know much more about what he brings to a movie than most other actors. It would be irrational to ignore that info, regardless of how we got it.

Or maybe it's not about the acting, but the budget allocated for promotion and shoving the movie down people's throats, see the huge flop of By the Sea (2015) starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt who were also directors and producers. Only 10 million as the budget, which pales compared to the big studios mega-budget movies they ofter star in. And so with zero promotion Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are just regular actors and nobody went to see them. Even their fans do not know of this movie.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/By_the_Sea_(2015_film)

Similarly the election circus and the huge media coverage it generates are the promotional service for the would be POTUS, shoving him down people's throats and convincing the population that he's the most qualified.

> > It's random chance that Daniel is famous. However, now that he's famous, we know much more about what he brings to a movie than most other actors. It would be irrational to ignore that info, regardless of how we got it.

You say information, for me it's promotion. Promotion is the opposite of information. If I were to give examples

It's always the dollar amount and human-hours spent on the promotion which matters.

Exactly. The only way to get SSDI is to quit work forever.

How do you know that did not happen? I know for sure the consolidated and moved around positions. Just because the people salty they got fired from their job due to poor performance, and political basis does not mean they did not put people in those positions.

Personally I think the platform is better today. The most "journalist" scream about it being unsafe the more I believe Elon is doing a great job, because I do not trust anyone at Washington Post, NyTimes, NBC, CBS, CNN, or any other major main stream propaganda source, and I trust even less their politically baised "research" non-profits.

>but Twitter's lawyers were arguably the best free-speech advocates in the room.

No they were not, the most recent one fired was literally former FBI. Under what basis to you believe Twitters lawyers were the "best free-speech advocates". they are for "free speech" the same way the modern ACLU is, only if you have the "correct" speech

>>They challenged government/police orders to unmask users, went to court on behalf of users during lawsuits. They were good at their jobs.

Sorry that does not make you the best free-speech advocates.

>>Hire whoever you want, but having a shoestring moderation/legal team at Twitter will make these problems worse.

If you listen to the people that took over from the ones that were fired it seems like the former Management was not providing money and resources for real enforcement for things like CSAM, instead were more worried about suppressing political speech and carrying the water for one political party.
This seems like a limitation that could be lifted instead of introducing a separate product (disclaimer: familiar with ebpf exporter but haven’t dug into OP).

Iirc ebpf exporter had some limitations, but they weren’t fundamental. However it was also fairly light, so maybe another tool is just the right solve.
This is not correct at all. Environmental scientists are developing a more sophisticated framework to describe the safe operating envelope for humans and it includes plastic and novel entities.

I did read the article, and I consider 5% a small amount.

The plastic is being burned for energy, which is the best way to handle plastic.

The only real issue this article raised is the poor quality incinerators, that don't do a good enough job of burning the plastic. I call this article click bait because they spend way way too long on utterly irrelevant stuff, and the only important part is 2 sentences.
There's not much to the eBPF profiler they've built, and not very much overlap with ebpf_exporter; ebpf_exporter also seems to require CO-RE kernels.
2022 should have been a wake up call on that, but it seems our bureaucrats are still sleeping in Bruxelles.
It's still in the early days of even deploying signing. Telcos are dragging their feet asking for exemptions and delays. Once virtually all calls are signed, then there has to be agreement on when to block unsigned traffic, and finally whack a mole with banning spammers and KYC to keep them banned.

The Velveteen Technology Becomes Real

There is no reason to assume weather is more difficult to deal with than sunny conditions in comparison to human drivers. Car sensors have larger advantages in bad weather than human drivers and they’ve already been demonstrated to work in rain, fog, and snow.

These companies are avoiding bad weather for the same reason human drivers do, they simply have zero reason to take risks.
The postal service is paid per letter delivered, but its costs are scale with distance walked by employees. You want them to walk the same number of rounds as before, but let me guess: You personally haven't sent a single letter this year to pay for that walking.

Ask HN: Protecting Family Computers
I live a conservative online life - I have separate emails for friends, for business, and for crap; I don't open strange emails or download attachments; and I have spare computers if I really want to touch a potentially wonky website. I use Keepass and try to pay attention what I'm doing. So on my Windows computer, Windows defender has been sufficient. I can't claim I'm 100% certain my computer is not compromised (can anybody these days?) but have not had any issues.

My family... is different :-). I'm constantly cleaning up weird browser extensions, strange software, cancelling subscription, etc; and their email inbox makes me cry.

Should be paying and installing something like Norton or Kaspersky or McAffee? Is there a point? Do they create privacy / nagware / ads / performance issues of their own?

How do you set them up for backup? Backblaze or sync.com? Or is there a simple utility I could set up to e.g. backup daily to SD card or something?

I assume I'm not the only person on HN to support family, but my work has taken me away from personal laptops (I spend my time either on AIX command line or in Powerpoint:) so I'm just not up to speed with that stuff anymore - any help appreciated :)

Sometimes they transfer to a cryptocurrency exchange, sometimes they go to a branch to withdraw everything. Banks don't really like either of those, so issuing checks and cashing them somewhere else is a common scheme.

Some may bounce the money through a few accounts and eventually into a business account that'll send it overseas, it depends.

The people on the ground are random replaceable idiots.
you can report it but don't expect anyone to care that much
I think Yuval Noah Harari would agree with you. You may find his book Sapiens of interest.

The point you raise touches directly on the essence of my original comment (which should have been clearer):

When we think of the value-system matrix of the 3 co-evolving continents of Europe, Africa, and Asia, the core commonality that is specially distinct from the value-system matrix that evolved in Americas is in regards to notions of property and nature 'husbandry'.

Any vanguard explorers from the Eurasian civilisational matrix would bring with them the entirely alien notions of property and systemic cultivation of nature, and that would inevitably result in a confrontation of value systems, in which the technologically superior side would dominate.
> When you rotate an encryption key, you must immediately log out of any logged-in sessions on Bitwarden client applications (Desktop App, Browser Extension, Mobile App, etc). […]

> Making changes in a session with a "stale" encryption key will cause data corruption that will make your data unrecoverable.

I love Bitwarden but this is just… borderline hilarious. Laughing nervously. God damn it, don’t write a damn “help” article about it, create a P0 bug, fix it asap and write a post-mortem.

Field report: I tried to see this UX in action and while it is indeed bad, there are some redeeming factors:

- By default, you don’t rotate encryption key when you change master password. This is opt-in. I’m not qualified to say whether this is a good default or not.

- If you do, a full modal warning pops up explaining to log out or wait an hour:

- They invalidate the sessions automatically, but this is delayed.

AIUI you have to tick the box, not read the warning, hurry to a different device and modify the vault, and have pissed off the cache invalidation gods all at the same time to reach corruption.
FYI 4% rule is probably too aggressive because it’s based on historical U.S. stock market data for a 30 year retirement. People are living longer and it’s a better assumption to use global stock market returns (because there’s no reason to think U.S. stocks will continue to outperform the global average - they very well may revert to the mean).

3% is a better bet for people retiring today.

I'm much much less concerned about senior citizens casting their vote than I am about the number of people that get their "news" from opinion shows under the banner of news programming. Doesn't matter the network, but if you're providing opinions, a giant opaque 288pt Impact font overlay of the word OPINION should be mandated to be on the screen. As long as people are duped into thinking opinions are news, we're never going to get a better electorate.

It’s clearly a hobby project, which means leeway is much more allowed. Furthermore, who are you to tell someone what is required, especially when you’re not paying or even using their service.

Additionally, the existing privacy policy is a real policy. Just because it was generated doesn’t mean it’s not applicable. Not every policy needs to be handcrafted with love.

What, exactly, is wrong with the current policy? Have you even read it?

Finally, what exactly is the purpose of your comment? You may think it’s required, and that’s great, but so what? What does that change? Even remotely? Is the author going to get in a Time Machine and go back to before they created their project to make sure a Privacy Policy is the first thing they make? No.

Once again, it’s on the list, the author will appease you eventually. Until then, don’t use the service. Problem solved.
So don’t use the service until they have a privacy policy.
I wouldn't have an issue with some sort of shadow-blocking/ hiding of posts containing clearly dangerous misinformation. I'm not at all against moderation per se, but I don't think there's a simple one-size-fits-all approach that guarantees the best result for everyone. But I do have an overriding concern that ideas, no matter how crackpot, are best debated in the open rather than left to simmer in dark places.
There is a way, that's the point of the entire article. They put it in the recycling.

If you are suggesting shipping the stuff back to Amazon, you should think about that a bit more - the amount of energy you'll use to ship it is an order of magnitude more than the amount you'll save.

The issue, as it is presented in the article, is with how copyright law intermingles with trademark law. They noted that people will be able to distribute the original short. They also noted that any unique works that incorporate the iconic mouse (even in its original form) may run into litigation. Given Disney's financial interest in The Mouse, I suspect they were understating it.

It is easy to oversimplify what is going on here if it is only viewed through the lens of copyright. While it would be easy to dismiss trademarking a character in most fictional works as doing an end-run around copyright law, The Mouse appears to have been a fairly consistent and identifiable part of Disney's image for decades. In the casual meaning of the word, it has been a trademark of the company. There is also a question of how the evolution of the character plays a role. As far as I can tell, Steamboat Willy is dead an Mickey took his place. Disney's trademarking of Steamboat Willy can be construed as an attempt to do an end-run around copyright law, but the visually similar Mickey has had a more enduring (and endearing) history.

Or perhaps certain types of trademarks, in the legal sense, should have a limited duration as well. I don't know of many companies that have maintained an immutable corporate image across decades simply because it does not make sense. Culture changes, and companies should be adapting with the times.

We live in a community of ~100 people. We have a room full of other people's left over things that we can take (or add to) for free. 90% of the gifts and clothes for our, and other people's children, we source from that room. We are able to give away a lot more and higher quality stuff than if we would have to buy it and the kids are just as happy.

It's incredible how much stuff is produced just to be thrown away. But I guess it keeps the wheels turning? I often wonder wether this is the best system there is. Something tells me it's not.

I'd go all in under $100 based on the the fact they are environmentally sound, selling everything they produce, have a waiting list of buyers and have some big potential future products such as teslabot if they get them right.

> The keybindings are really the unique selling point of Vim, and you can get them anywhere.

This is going to vary heavily from user to user. I'll admit it's been some years since I last tried anything new, but I never found Vim keybindings that were complete and configurable enough to comfortably replace Vim. It's always more like a UI uncanny valley in that the keybindings are relatively close, but imperfect enough that they interfere with my typical workflow.
