The timing attacks result in data leakage between processes, even if the processes are in different VMs.

It's a huge problem for cloud providers, but most customers don't fully understand the issue and cloud providers aren't forthcoming that "mitigations" are partial at best, so it's really just a huge problem for cloud customers.
I suppose, but those are staggeringly rare and can essentially just be ignored.
Curious, what outcome are you trying to achieve by syncing them?
The creator here, can help you out. I moved it all to vercel functions running on node 18. Broke a bunch of themes in the process.
I think psychologically that’s very difficult. Ignoring biological imperative and suppressing the physiologic desire for children is hard. Anyone in their 30’s and 40’s without children knows this.

But actually having a child and raising it in this silly environment? I don’t even want to imagine. Maybe just do private school and try to ignore the awfulness that is modern western philosophy and “values”.
2005 Honda Civic LX w/ under 100,000 KM on it. In Canada, but first (and only previous) owner spent winter in Arizona and there has been no previous winter driving.

Car is a champ. I can adjust everything via tactile controls. Sensors exist, but fewer sensors. (Note, this next sentence is me talking out of my ass) There is a whole industry built on replacing faulty sensors that are not detecting the fault they were designed to test for.

Folks may note that a car of this vintage lacks safety features. This car has airbags, ABS and seat-belts. It does not have most of these features [0] built in; the driver is responsible for these features where possible. I'm fine w/ that.

Regular maintenance includes oil change and inspection of components due to age. I've got a great mechanic who factors age into his maintenance recommendations. My annual operating cost, including fuel, insurance, maintenance and parking for 2023 YTD is CAD$1880.

Mobile phone is used via ear bud. That has its own tracking issues but at least does not correlate to car-based telemetry.

When you see small time Sunday blogger pushing back against toxic negativity, your immediate reaction is “this is what got us Juicero”? Amazing.

Ironically, the one thing Juicero got right is cutting their losses early and calling it a day.
You're leaving out the punchline of your reply: those side-impact bars protect passengers better, but they also make the car windows higher, and reduce visibility. It's harder to see out the back of modern cars when you simply turn your body around and look behind you. That's why backup cameras are becoming mandatory in new cars.
I don’t get this. The rear view camera on my 2019 vehicle is a joy to use. What data could it transmit that I or anyone cares about? I truly don’t understand the privacy obsession. Most people don’t matter, and chances are there’s absolutely no novel or interesting data gathered.
Yeah, even a package install, or npm invocation could easily install a keylogger with full network access, or go over the file system and encrypt it.
To be fair, they probably don't realize you can see out the back. On most modern vehicles, you simply can't.

Reversing is very easy thanks to side mirrors, but you can't see the kid you're about to run over.
Yeah I'm very left wing and in trans circles and that combination of rhetoric never made sense to me. It's giving in to the same harmful gender essentialism that generates transphobia (especially TERFs, who are basically entirely motivated by second wave radical feminism's silly misandry) so it's just kind of self contradictory, not to mention being unhelpful. Plus it's just... stupid? Like, sure, patriarchy, but one of the crucial parts of third wave feminism was seeing how patriarchy doesn't benefit all men at all, it only benefits a few, and even the mechanisms of their privilege can also harm men a lot. And saying stuff like that really does psychologically harm men even if they still have privilege (especially since they may not actually be in a good life position despite that). It's actually become a point of discussion in online trans spaces bc trans men have begun pointing out how harmful this rhetoric is — being made to feel evil and like "gender traitors" and stuff for being men, or, if they're excludeded from "KAM," being made to feel like men-lite. There's no winning with it.
> People will say "yes, but it doesn't mean literally kill all men", and of course it doesn't.

As an honest question: why “of course it doesn’t”?
As someone who fully supports ejecting toxic relatives - including fathers and mothers - from their adult lives, no, they should not feel bad if they can't or won't accept their parents' toxicity.

Keeping toxic people in your life, regardless of their gender, is not something that somehow makes you a better or stronger person. And most psychologists with licenses agree.
You think that’s why it’s taken so long to move off of IPv4? Surely it can’t be _anything_ else, like lagging support for IPv6 in newer network routing protocols, bug related to those implementations with IPv6, or sometimes no support for IPv6 at all. Similarly for systems and applications that just have no concept of IPv6 at all. To single out the US as the reason why we have not moved off of IPv4 is laughable, the US has a pretty significant adoption of IPv6.
Orthorexia can actually be pretty damn harmful as well.
Rear view cameras are a safety feature. You’re not sticking it to anyone by refusing to look at it.

I understand that you’re upset about data collection, but refusing to use a basic safety feature is a pointless protest. The only people who might be harmed are those around you.

Please reconsider.
Just curious, don't you have any privacy concerns having something that is potentially listening to you at all times?

> Despite this it still feels very limited.
Yes, I was actually thinking about this before posting the comment. It can be kind of useful but for very basic things. On mobiles phones is it possible to call emergency services through it?
What anticompetitive behaviour killed Maemo?

I used to root heavily for Nokia but imho the only thing that killed it off was how late they were to the game in pushing it and how they’d already significantly declined as a company by then.
Presumably you end up with a bunch of guys of the type that think metal bikinis make for great body armour and you can respawn if shot.

I guess the military just needs people with a pulse
Agreed. I don’t understand the privacy obsession at the cost of all other comforts and features.
I don't want to complain about being thrown the occasional bone, but the fact that they allow you to view the actual absolute timestamp is also kind of infuriating -- I mean it's right there. I know you have it!

Reverse cameras are one of the best things to happen to automobile safety in a long time. The automatic obstacle detection and braking is so great. I’m delighted that it’s such a success that it’s standard in every new car.
Both Next and Vercel are fantastic. I've used Next for multiple projects and it's part of my go-to stack now. Why are you promoting someone complaining about not understanding it? This person is a troll who is conflating learning new technology for it being bad. I also don't understand how "opinionated" is the source of the complaint - what framework isn't opinionated?
I like the idea of a .local!

It's a little weird because presumably repos shouldn't just be a .local folder. We'd still be excepting the actual source from this.

Maybe we just use a FileSystem Heirarchy pattern for repos? Many projects already have source in src/. Move all the build config stuff into a etc/ in the project, no .anything/?
Yuri Besmenov. I think he was being truthful in his descriptions all those years back, seems like it came to fruition quite nicely. I would have loved to have seen more interviews with him, say, each decade, and see how the climate at the time was filtered through his lense.

If you cannot see kids by looking at your rear window and using your side mirrors (don't know how they're called in english), your clearance might be too high and your mirrors poorly set.
I don't know what happened there, because it should be disabled by default. But if you accidentally enabled it, you can change that in Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control.
I don't wanna get into a whole thing, but if you stop to think for maybe 10 seconds, you'd realize that the problems women face (physically, socially, economically ,etc) are incomparably worse than what men face.

- How about the fact that in some countries women can't even show their hair, have the right to drive or vote?

- How about the fact that women are several times more likely to be sexually assaulted?

- How about the fact that women have to worry about potential unwanted pregnancy?

- How about the fact that abortion laws are being repealed across the United States?

- How about the glass ceiling and the fact that women are paid less for the same jobs across many industries?

That's not to say that men don't have their own challenges as well, but it's borderline delusional if you think that men and women face the same level of challenges.
Apple‘s Struggle to Survive the IBM PC [video]
Yeah, those cds and tapes you could get remarkably cheap and they sounded like total s*it as far as sound quality, but at the same time those were some of my favorite performances. Like hearing Donald sing "Brooklyn" on piano.

This is one of the great examples of how true artists produce gold and then the real world sets in and the relatives (who were not there at the time) force a bunch of legal issues and fight over copyright.

Somewhere in Nirvana/Heaven/Whatever Steely Dan songs are available in all their forms. We will look back on this era and just do a facepalm....

Time Magazine Cover: Cyberpunk – Feb. 8, 1993
It's been many years, but a downside back when I worked there was infrastructure churn. Migrating off deprecated infrastructure meant you had to do a lot of work just to stay where you are. Mostly unstaffed products (like Google Reader, say) were at risk of going under due to technical debt.

When App Engine launched, that was great for me because I could write internal tools that were mostly off the treadmill. Unless you used one of App Engine's less-used API's (which themselves eventually got deprecated), your more obscure team-specific services could keep running.

So, lots of great technology is not necessarily great for productivity. I don't know what's happened since. I expected that launching Cloud would result in more mature infrastructure because external customers won't tolerate churn as much. I guess it's sort of true?
desktop user interfaces on all 3 main operating systems peaked by 2010, at that point everything became aimed at clueless cellphone users.
For many cars it's relatively straight-forward to disable the cellular modem, and sometimes it won't impact the other functionality of the car at all.

Chances are someone in a forum somewhere has done the legwork for you. Do a google search and realize how easy (or hard) it is to do for your vehicle. Most of the time it won't even impact your warranty, apart from the modem you've purposefully disabled and no longer care about.
Who cares though? I ask this elsewhere here too, so apologies if I am being redundant.

Everything tracks me. My phone, every neighbors camera pointing out toward the street, the eyes in the sky, office buildings, grocery stores.

I don’t care though, because I am no one. It’s such a non problem or issue for my day to day, and I couldn’t imagine choosing my car over something like this.

However, on HN, I constantly see this privacy obsession in comments. What are you all up to that you care so much? Where’s the paranoia coming from?
> but the reasons why that's the more common case don't strike me as something to get upset about

I would venture to guess that's because you are not in the socio-economical bracket where this is not just something you see on TV but become how people actually treat you.

In my arm-chair and widely unqualified perspective, the life experience of men is very very bi-modal. A select few with whatever the characteristic du-jour are can have such a different experience that it become harder to related to the less fortunate.

> Humor at the expense of traditionally more powerful groups works

About the same remark, traditionally, the most the people with the most power were/are men, doesn't follow that most men have power or that even that the average men have more power than the average women. The distribution of power/social status is usually very skewed for men.

> because it can be seen as both a way of balancing the scales a bit

Two wrong doesn't make a right , and the sin of the father do not belong to the sons. The problem with balancing things like this is that you are punishing people who weren't not involved in a situation...

> it doesn't come with the uncomfortable connection to examples of people taking the underlying ideas way more seriously.

And racist joke were also justified before because they were just joke that nobody take seriously.

> Comedy about my gender is funnier because nobody actually thinks my gender is a weakness.

You would be surprised... Sure not weakness... But things like emotional maturity and basic organization skills that's a different story.

> To that point, culture is absolutely full of baseless attacks on women too, often in a far more damaging context. Lots of people still feel way too comfortable suggesting women are biologically unsuited for high status jobs and really only valuable for making babies. And the vitriol directed at women in the abortion debate, and the actual reduction in rights that rhetoric has led to, sort of puts dumb male sitcom characters in perspective.

This also a big problem every time men/boys problem are brought to the for front. It seems to always been turned into "but what about women... etc..."

I can only speak for myself, as fairly liberal man. We all understand (even if we don't always relate to them) the tribulation that women face. Those things should definitively be addressed and fought for. But we don't need to solve ALL the women problems before we give some attentions to men issues. And certainly shouldn't use that as excuse to continue detrimental societal stereotypes.

Stereotyping an entire gender as dumb, un effective buffoon is wrong and as you mentioned yourself not very funny. Let's just stop it and move on... there is no need for mental gymnastic to find bizare excuses.
I would encourage to watch the BBC piece entitled "Chinas Magic Weapon"
We all know it's happening. What, if anything, could the voting public do to remove the ability of the intelligence community to spy on citizens?
I want to tackle this from a few angles.

First, I'll give you that western paradigm of masculinity does make it likely that a male asking for help will make you look weak. However, I'd drive in even harder. If you are struggling, are you "already weak". You lack the capability and resources to easily resolve the challenge at hand. All you are doing is hiding your weakness. You are bluffing. You are being the guy who seems all stable on the surface until, SNAP, he's some unreliable flaky shit face who can't take the pressure.

You're not being strong. You're not being helpful. You're being brittle. You're setting yourself, and those who depend on you up for a sudden, surprising failure.

Second, I'd say that the western paradigm of masculinity does actually provide room to maneuver. Actually -asking- for help is yes... a bit dodgy. But complaining (ie, sharing your challenges) is absolutely in the cards. And there's plenty of space for men to be good friends and supporters for other men, to help them through challenges, even if you do not ask for help. The 'unexpected save/help from the initially non-committal friend' is a common trope. Being the guy who helps out is absolutely part of our common western culture.

Finally, I don't want to tear down the western paradigm of masculinity. I hardly thinking adding the attribute "be willing to ask for help when the situation demands it" is tearing down. If anything it's building up.
Essentially, no. Your best bets are the German manufacturers, some of whom (e.g. Porsche) have data opt outs for all services and exist within a legislative framework that's at least mildly protective of consumer privacy. Even then you should be wary about cars built for export to other markets like the US. It's common for the regional manufacturer to be a separate legal entity, with separate backend services, delivering cars with different configurations and software.

For American, Japanese, and Korean manufacturers? You should just assume they're harvesting all the data they can get on you. GM's recent decision to ditch Android auto and Carplay was motivated in large part by their desire to better control and monetize user data collection.
Why not? Seems like a useless categorical imperative without context. Yes, you shouldn't usually "judge people" but I'm happy to offend or whatever if that's the worst thing I'm doing, and a slight possible upside is getting someone to rethink actions that could lead to their death.
Such a cool project! Also the example conversation in the screenshot is hilarious.
That's the problem, you don't care until you do.
OK, I'll accept that, thanks.

I spent a lot of time on the rest of it. For this part, I didn't think I had anything particular to say about "character" that wouldn't take me days to compose, and might not be what Blakey meant by it anyway.

But yeah, this device has worn out its welcome.

I don't understand how that is an argument. Of course organizing things involves moving them to other places. That is basically the definition of organizing something.

I fully grant that having kids changes the dynamics. A lot. But I'm not saying to scold or "having a direct talking" with the kids. I'm saying to engage. It works far better than you give credit there.

Now. I also fully grant that I may be speaking from privilege. Mayhap something about me looks more approachable for whatever reason. I lament that I don't know how to spread whatever that is.
GNU Linux desktop can’t be made more secure than a Mac in my opinion, without having to rewrite the whole thing to the point where calling it general linux desktop is a stretch. But this is not an OS property - if one would install Android, then the security would improve severalfold, likely better than OSX (mobile OSs are much more modern and security oriented). The reason is that the old-school UNIX permission system is way too crude. The minimum is to run every process under a new user, so that its permissions would even start to make sense. SELinux is also important, as well as secure IPC. Android has all that solved.

GrapheneOS on sufficiently secure hardware (! Unfortunately open-source laptops are very bad in this category), which has to be a Pixel for now trades blows with iphones.
This the type of bs that would make me start thinking about starting my own company.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Before the accident, I would have taken bigger windows over the side-impact bars if I'd been presented with the choice. And now I'm thankful to the regulators for taking away that freedom of choice. Odd.
The term "toxic masculinity" doesn't imply that masculinity is inherently toxic any more than the term "burnt toast" implies that toast is inherently burnt. Toxic masculinity refers specifically to expressing and enforcing masculinity in a way that's harmful (to men as well as women).

Teaching boys to epxress masculinity through strength, assertiveness, self-reliance, etc. is totally healthy in moderation. Teaching boys to be violent or domineering isn't, nor is teaching them that showing emotion or asking for help is weakness.
If you don't destroy the original body, then both copies have an equal claim to being "you" right after the teleportation, since both are psychologically continuous with the person who existed moments before. Over time, they will have different experiences and different memories and gradually become different people.

>What if the copy comes back to Earth via spaceship and shoots you? The end result is the same, but it sure looks like you're dead.

The end result is very different because the memories of the surviving copy will be very different. He will remember killing a copy of himself, which by that point is more like a close family member than an identical self.
I agree with your assessment, but I also see no value in "respecting his choices?" Which is to say, if people like him think we're assholes for calling them something-like-if-not-exactly-suicidal, thats fine, I'll be an asshole. I still sleep better calling it out than being silent here.
Sure, but once it becomes widespread it will no longer be possible to do so on newer models.
No that’s not a good answer. It’s a vague gesture at some non realistic threat. When will I care?
That's for the data they have, which they generally minimize reasonably well.
