Not sure I understand. They're called "meetings" IRL right? Just that they're now online, a lot of the time. We use the word call and meeting interchangeably, I'm not really seeing the difference.

(The only difference between before covid and after is that we are more people and have more calls that take longer. Text chatting is a lot more structured and efficient and inclusive because nobody has to wait for a turn while the topic evolves past five persons before it gets to you, but whenever a topic gets more than a handful of messages, invariably $boss will propose to stop wasting time and "plan a meeting" .... but I also have that experience with IRL meetings when there are more than, say, five people involved)
It's a newspaper that isn't affordable to the majority of the public, doesn't do any advertising to the public, nor does the public even know about it.

Not a great analogy really.
I've heard similar before. So? The problem with that for RH was what, exactly?

There was White Box Linux, Scientific Linux, PUIAS Linux, etc. And Oracle Linux of course.
That's a reasonable argument to make (although I think it depends on the context), but I see no reason to believe WASM would be any better. And the fact remains that a lot of people do use containers quite successfully for these things. I don't believe those same people would turn to WASM.
More than that, one report mentioned the US Navy notified the search teams that they heard an explosion Sunday night and used it to limit the search area.

The US Navy has literally has experience detecting underwater explosions (see project Azorian). It's not guaranteed of course, but any loud sound near the point of contact loss seems pretty open shut.

Imo, it made a more interesting story in a slow news cycle. How many people died in car accidents the last few days? Has to be more than 5.
I never enjoyed Shakespeare UNTIL I started reading his plays, and now he’s one of my favorites.

The drama and stories in his work don’t do much for me, I view them more as a vehicle for his poetry (which is some of the greatest ever written). And I enjoy it more on the page than spoken by others.

I know there are at least some others out there like me! Nabokov cleverly said something along the lines of “with Shakespeare, the metaphor is the thing, not the play.”

Yeah so the existence of URLs for specific retailers like Lego and Adidas suggest to me that they ordered from the shipper, got their account number, then just got a botnet to enumerate (or randomly query) with different package identifiers.

They are the people of power, the psychotics and narcissists. It's not that hard to see.

I've existed here long enough to see those that claw themselves to the top, and they are nearly all without fail a combination of psychopaths and narcissists and they will conspire to increase their power and self obsession. I'm very sure you've bumped into them at some point in your life.

The problem is that most of the people are weak and passive and they can not compete against this "they", the majority don't have the will to do it individually and our collective will is either captured by the "they" or kept divided.

So when your grandma wait hours in her shit and piss in a corridor of an hospital because their are not enough bed and enough nurses, and then suffer bad after effects because of this waiting time, this is not some sort of violence according to you ?

When even journalists from le Figaro (right wing newspaper) have to protest brutality against journalists.... the violence is only coming from the protester ?
I would have put it another way:

Money amplifies personality, both virtues and vices.

The reason why the rich so often seem absurd is because, unlike most people, they can live out their impulses. Money reveals who they are. Many people without money are probably equally absurd, but they have not crossed the horizon of "doing weird things because they can afford it."
> If the concern is that they are "teaching to the tests", my bigger concern is why are they so bad at that, even?

Again, I think purely teaching to the tests is short term gains for long term losses.

To take my example: I expect my students are going to be mostly 4's and 5's on the AP Microeconomics exam (this is good). But if I could have taught them why the functions looked the way they did, they'd have a better understanding of microeconomics. This would have been a dangerous thing to actually teach them, because if they used this knowledge on the test, there's no guarantee a pair of readers would understand it and give them the point. Better to dumb it down and teach the graph-based and algebra-based reasoning rather than the calculus-based reasoning of how it actually works, even though my students were capable of it.

I got to teach students stuff that they'll have to unlearn for deeper study, but maximized their short term performance. I'm totally willing to do this because it is in the students' interest: they really want a "5" on that exam to prove their capability to colleges and to skip a course. But if the test results weren't important to the students (like most of these standardized tests) but were important to -me-, that would be a terrible conflict of interest.

> I'm assuming the idea is that the kids are passing lower level tests better, but failing later tests?

4th grade scores kept climbing longer and have been flat for the past 7-8 years even as 7th grade scores have slowly slid downwards.
> software you don't want users to have anymore

This is exactly why some don't want software essential to their business or personal life to be dependent on the whims of somebody and their server.
I’m starting to think that’s the primary purpose of voting - to get people to feel complicit in actions they didn’t want by people they didn’t want in places they didn’t know existed.
I can't agree with the description of Macbeth "dropping the ball with the porter scene". It's a darkly hilarious release of the tension in the previous scene. Macbeth is losing his mind in guilt, and then suddenly you're in a comedic relief scene, with a hungover drunkard cracking jokes about whiskey dick.

His initial monologue has perhaps not aged as gracefully, but the humor in this hungover buffoon incorporating the knocking at the gate he's supposed to be tending can be funny enough in its own right.
Sure, just like all the CO2 from diesel engines manufacturing and transporting last year's useless, disposable consumer products is now "invested" into the atmosphere, and the disposable consumer products themselves are now "invested" into landfills and leaching into the groundwater for centuries to come.

Health insurance in the US isn't 'decent'. Chronic illness, long-term care, catastrophic events excluded from coverage - these are real things that daily wreck American families.

Of course one may be only a serious illness away from death, and I don't take that as flippant. But the far more common circumstance is that one is several illnesses and/or a long chronic medical decline away from death, with both circumstances likely to be hugely expensive in the US compared to other first world nations.

The economic fallout can mean that family members can't get a good education, can't move to take a better job...all the things that, sometimes, just a little more $$ can make possible.

The US hasn't prioritized its citizens' wellbeing to the extent they deserve. In that regard, OP is spot on: the US is not a place to retire.
The Rust compiler has several unsoundness bugs that are years old. If you trusted Rust language security in the kernel, these would all be security holes.

I think this is a case in which the original meaning had faded, but it's still useful to have a label for something.
The use of the floppy disk as a save icon is another example; floppy disks have fallen out of use for decades, but the iconography and meaning is still the same, and unique.
"the Rich" aren't some kind of homogenous block that all act and speak in unison. Putting people in groups like that really worries me.
As a kid having to read Shakespeare what was lost on me, because of the language, was the language. Will worked hard to turn a phrase.

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once."

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."

"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

"The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream."

These are catchy lines, even today.

I don't believe that one was particularly safe in its design either? Just quoting the most colorful parts of Wikipedia's history:

- "Oxygen was supplied from high-pressure cylinders carried inside the sphere, while pans of soda lime [hn: sodium hydroxide?] and calcium chloride were mounted inside the sphere's walls to absorb exhaled CO2 and moisture.[6] Air was to be circulated past these trays by the Bathysphere's occupants using palm-leaf fans.[2]"

- "Suddenly, without the slightest warning, the bolt was torn from our hands, and the mass of heavy metal shot across the deck like the shell from a gun. The trajectory was almost straight, and the brass bolt hurtled into the steel winch thirty feet [9.1 m] away across the deck and sheared a half-inch [13 mm] notch gouged out by the harder metal. This was followed by a solid cylinder of water, which slackened after a while into a cataract, pouring out the hole in the door, some air mingled with the water, looking like hot steam, instead of compressed air shooting through ice-cold water.[6]"

- "The ocean during this dive was rougher than it had been during any of their previous dives, and as the Freedom rocked on the surface, its motion was transmitted down the steel cable, causing the Bathysphere to swing from side to side like a pendulum. As the Bathysphere descended, Barton succumbed to seasickness and vomited inside it. However, the first half of the radio transmission had already been broadcast, and neither Beebe nor Barton wished to cancel its second half, so they continued their descent.[5] ... the Bathysphere was still rocking wildly and Beebe and Barton were both bruised and bleeding from being knocked about inside it."

- "During their first test dive, they demanded to be pulled up after descending only four feet (1.2 m) because the sphere had begun to leak; they soon discovered this was because Tee-Van had neglected to fasten all of the bolts that hold the hatch shut.[2] Another problem occurred on their second test dive, during which they discovered that the lower end of the rubber hose holding the power cable and phone line had begun to deteriorate, and they spent the rest of the day reversing the hose's direction so that the end which was deteriorating would be the end above the water.[5]"

yeah absolutely.

As it stands, it's a dilemma. The Vision Pro is $3500 and still only does half of what I want a headset for.

The only saving grace is the Vision Pro is so expensive, I can pick up a Quest for only $500 and it will do the other half it's hardly any more ;-)
It shouldn’t be a crime. If I pull a skimmer off an ATM am I engaging in active measures against someone’s property? How is this any different?
Shit take. A drunk driver kills uninvolved people. The people on the sub knew (most) of the risks.
First off, I kinda skimmed this.

So I think the critical thing here is that verification is not enough. It has to be the critical thing, because the implementation in the kernel might suck but Microsoft has shown that it's possible to build a powerful eBPF verifier that isn't a hacky mess.

The main issue is seemingly these helper functions. The position is that even a perfectly verified program won't be safe because of them. To me, the situation makes me think "so why are we allowing these helper functions?". The suggestion is, among other things, to replace these helpers with Rust code. But couldn't we just have the helpers not suck to begin with?

Using the Rust compiler as a sort of safety oracle also ignores the fact that rustc has numerous problems that can lead to unsafe code without `unsafe` (and tbh I don't really see the project prioritizing these cases because it's just not a meaningful problem for the typical rust threat model). They sort of address this but not very well imo - timers and runtime mitigations aren't ideal.

I think what might make much more sense is to instead have the eBPF Virtual Machine (and verifier) written in Rust, including all helper functions, but to still execute pure, verified ebpf within it, using a verifier that's been built in a way that's actually sound.

1. The verifier attack surface goes down because it's Rust. I think that removes the need to keep it in userland, which would fly for Windows / BSD but not Linux.

2. Helpers are in Rust so they're at least safer - I feel like this addresses a (the?) major priority in the paper. Based on the paper's notes about implementing helpers in rust requiring no unsafe, it's probably safe to say that the verifier and helpers being in Rust would solve a lot of problems without requiring eBPF programs to be in Rust (and good news, Rust programs can expose a C API).

3. We don't throw out the baby with the bath water. A verified program is a cool thing to have. I would rather keep verification.
Could be. I wonder if we could (or if anyone has) poll(ed) people on opinions and, with hindsight, establish an actual truth, or at least the best possible guess at it, and see how different things affect that

I feel like my generation (90s) is a lot better informed than almost any parent, let alone grandparent. But maybe that's too long a scale and you rather mean low tide on the span of the past handful of years, on which I don't really have an opinion / can't really say
What? There's a more recent Halo game (Infinite; released 2021) than Gears of War game (5; released 2019). They seem to be alternating them every so often (and developing them in parallel under two different dev studios, 343 and The Coalition respectively) and it doesn't yet sound like they have "given up" on either franchise.

Also, Xbox has pushed more of its "exclusives" to Digital First or Digital Only, especially its "weeaboo" games, so Gamestop is an increasingly disconnected view of the Xbox. You may get a much better view of "exclusives" looking at Xbox Game Pass lists.
The archive site isn’t great for usability but the 2016 campaign site seems fine to me.
Sheesh. I hadn’t heard of that one.
I still force XHTML-style markup for HTML5 applications. Maybe it's my experience that is the real problem-solver, but I feel sticking to very strict markup reduces a number of bugs that are extremely hard to solve.

> Once your company is a certain size, work emails only get sent to work devices. Not sure what you’re getting at with hoping they’re not clicking through from their work computer. Of course they are.

Once it arrives on your work device you are free to type it into your phone manually (this is me since I don't value my free time), forward the email elsewhere, or more recently take a phone pic of the url string and have the OS turn into text for you.

But I agree, having spent enough time reading the absurdities on Blind and wondering how some of these people got their $500k+ yearly comp without understanding how computers work, a majority of people are definitely most likely simply clicking the link on their work device.

The phone app is better, though.
At least it's responsive and works on mobile.

To be honest if a candidate embraced 90s style web design I would be far more likely to vote for them.
At some reputational risk—-

Is the Vision Pro actually that expensive at $3500?

A high/end LG OLED G3 77 inch TV @ $4,300

A Dell XPS laptop @ $4,000

A 2005 Honda Civic with 225,000 miles @ $3800

NBA season tickets mid-“club” level seats @ $4300 (does not include parking, dinner, transportation)

A Barcalounger power reclining loveseat @ $3120

An 11 x 18.5 ft outdoor storage shed made out of plastic and genuine steel frame @ $5274

You might need that Honda if you are barely scrapping by, but if you are like many HN readers then you know damn well that most of what you really needed was taken care of a long time ago.

Disposable income is disposable how you see fit.

I see fit to buy a Vision Pro after a short test-drive. And I expect to be amazed.
The Zero Ontology – David Pearce on Why Anything Exists
The first millions I made from Beanie Babies in the mid-90s. The second was from running a TV torrent site. I recklessly spent pretty much everything both times and didn't really save anything. I had a lot of nice things, but then I ended up in jail and when I got out I had literally zero. Well, I had a COVID stimulus check and that was it. Then I went back to jail again and got reset to full zero.
I'm not sure that any of your post actually contradicts mine; MS have accepted the dominance of Linux in the server market and have moved on to exploiting it where they can. That doesn't mean they wouldn't have rather had everyone running on Windows, if they could have pulled it off.
Danny MacAskill begs to differ.

Thx!
Touché, thank you. Regardless I agree with Tolstoy in whole

George Orwell - a fan of Shakespeare - admits the following:

- "Tolstoy is right in saying that Lear is not a very good play, as a play. It is too drawn-out and has too many characters and sub-plots."

- "Shakespeare has a habit of thrusting uncalled-for general reflections into the mouths of his characters. This is a serious fault in a dramatist"

- "Of course, it is not because of the quality of his thought that Shakespeare has survived, and he might not even be remembered as a dramatist if he had not also been a poet."
All that's awful and I hope we can make it better. That said, the humans on that silly submarine have very little to do with what we are and aren't doing about refugees in the Mediterranean.

As a Brit, I don't really understand the mindset that everyone is a mistake away from being penniless, to be honest.

It feels mostly like a healthcare thing specific to the US. And it ignores the fact that most severe healthcare outcomes will ruin you in more ways than just the financial.

Aside from healthcare, there are no real expenses I can think of that would suddenly "ruin my life".

The two real examples I can think of are:

- an uninsured house fire/collapse, mitigated by... insurance

- severe mental illness / breakdown that results in spending my life savings

Otherwise, it's like, ok, beyond age 21 I have at least a few months savings.
I can definitely see why Sony wouldn’t want Microsoft early access to their devkits.

A very similar event happened to me in the beginning of this year, involving the USPS (rather than the UPS). Actually, it was on the 5th of January, come to think of it. Instead of clicking on the link in the SMS, I visited the page on my computer. The page was obviously made to impersonate the USPS website, except the link led to a tracking page with a populated shipment number.

The domain is/was uspexlocrts.info and at the time, a whois lookup showed that it had been registered just a few hours before I received the SMS on my phone. There was a subsequent modification about a month later.

The whois information is largely redacted, with only the state/province and country field showing up as Beijing, CN.

I ended up submitting all the information via the (authentic) usps customer inquiry interface and basically asked them to deal with it however they saw fit.

A few days later, when I tried visiting the page again, I noticed that the site had been added to Chrome as a potential phishing site (attempting to visit the site first shows the all-red Chrome warning page instead).

Finally, on the 15th of March, I received a response from the USPS:

--
Dear <Customer>,

Thank you for contacting the USPS® Internet Customer Care Center.

"Smishing", a form of phishing, is an unsolicited SMS (text) message. Victims will typically receive a deceptive text message that is intended to lure the recipient into providing their personal or financial information. These scams often attempt to impersonate a government agency, bank, or other company to lend legitimacy to their claims.
Common lures include “your account has been suspended,” “there is suspicious activity on your account”, "there is a problem with your shipping address" and “there is a package waiting for you at the Post Office.”
To report USPS-related smishing:
Please visit the United States Postal Inspection Service ® smishing page at https://www.uspis.gov/news/scam-article/smishing/ for additional information and reporting steps.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact us again.

Thank you for emailing your Postal Service™,

The more accurate way of looking at it is using the "Office and accounting equipment” deflator, which puts it at $1291 in 2022 dollars, about the price of a decent laptop, which makes sense to me.
