I tend to agree, if Debian embraced a longer term support model it would attract a lot of enterprise deployments.

RHEL is something like 10 years while Debian is more like 2, 3 if you push it.
Free speech causing problems for the USA yet again?
in the US books bans have a tendency to be specifically refer to government efforts to censor certain subject matter... it doesn't always mean a universal ban in this context
Exactly.

Recently, this has been reminding me of all the hand wringing about "prompt injection vulnerabilities" - like e.g. when you have an LLM summarizing articles for you, or going over your inbox, and a malicious actor sneaks in a well-crafted bit of text that makes that LLM return you false information, or forward all your e-mails to attacker's address, etc.

Well guess what, ads are exactly such prompt injection attacks, but on humans.
Every privately held company should have its valuation slashed in today's environment. It's just that in most cases founders and VCs aren't willing to admit it and take the hit. If they were all forced to open up their books the reality would be very different to what you see publicly.
> our agent knew what was a fair price, what we’d likely be able to push the sellers down to, advised us through the whole process.

I've seen cases where the sales agent knew the seller's minimum and basically told that to the buyer. They didn't negotiate on the seller's behalf so much as negotiate to get the deal done quicker.

I'm sure the buyer's agent looked good to the buyer. This scenario and the one you describe are almost indistinguishable, depending on which party you are.
You're going to have to disclose the fire. May as well use it to get lots of people looking if you're confident in the rebuild.

I do like imagining trying to sell it during the fire based on apparent damage done and the perceived capabilities of the fire dept. in stopping it.
I think I agree with this entirely. The problem is these disadvantages don't justify a policy of race-based affirmative action. To do this, you'd need to do one of three things:

1. Say that the affirmative action policy is temporary based on a time frame. This is tricky because any time you come up with will seem pretty arbitrary.

2. Say that the affirmative action policy is temporary based on a metric. This is also tricky because that metric is arbitrary (worse - it may never be accomplished).

3. Say the affirmative action policy is merited indefinitely which is in my opinion racist, because this is saying there's something fundamental about this group that makes them incapable of handling a level playing field. I simply don't believe this is true.

I think we need to come to terms as a society with the hard reality that all three above cases are morally and logically bankrupt, for any meaningful length of time. Arbitrary race-based criteria for determining 'disadvantage' just don't work. People have to be given the dignity of mastery over their own fate and it's patronizing (borderline racist) any other way, unless extremely limited in scope.
I'm not sure we're looking at the same photos... for some of them, sure, you're right. But many are bad photos like those you mention, except more egregious (hence they deserve the place on that site). The "garden" in one picture is rather awful, but why put that plastic chair facing against the wall to make it creepy on top of that? Why take a picture half naked (or not half - thankfully we'll never know) in front of a mirror? Why the cheap Christmas tree? Why those two sad soft toys in the corner of an empty room? Why a mower in the living room? Why include an old man watching TV in your photo?

As for the points you say, I'm not into real estate, I think often it comes down to limitations from reality. You know, actual _people_ live in those apartments you're trying to have pictures of. Maybe they'll just deny you entry (it's their place, after all, they might be renting and thus not give a damn about you willing to sell the property), in which case all you have to show is pictures from the outside. Or they might only agree to send you pictures themselves, in which case blurry pictures is all you get.

Of course, in general it's mostly incompetence, but hey, if everybody were perfect at their job the world would look totally different, in more important sectors than real estate...
I have a Hario single cup funnel that I bought for the express purpose of filtering the fines out of cold brew. The ring on the top fits perfectly into a Luminarc pitcher, like they were made to go together.

It's the ceramic model, so not very portable I'm afraid.
Their competitive advantage compared to whom, Windows? Their competitive advantage compared to other Linux distros or to the BSDs is enterprise support, not being open source (all of them are). Apple doesn't even sell their OS at all. So who are you comparing RH to?
For Guitar, I'd remove Rhett Shull, dude is just a YouTube channel hocking gear he gets for free. It used to be interesting when he talked about touring but now that he's a full time YouTuber and doesn't play live or touring he's just selling ads and his courses. Courses, which, frankly are not that unique or good.

I'd add a few different guitarists in here though. Paul David's genuinely seems like a great dude. Stewmac has fun stuff though it is generally driven around selling their stuff, but I think they're still highly educational most of the time. Emerald City Guitar's has some really cool videos now and again, and I dig their videos on some of the vintage gear they have and find inspiration in that. Gracie Terzian has great music theory videos, she's the one that helped me fully understand the circle of fifths. I also really enjoy Eric Haugen, he has a few courses on TrueFire now as well.

I also dig Alamo Music Center, watching Cooper shred an acoustic is always a good way to spend 10-15 minutes. Dude can play.
The fool tapdances in the minefield. You shout to him from across the warning marker, "freeze, don't even set that foot down there"... he laughs and screams "what are the chances there's a mine right there?!?!"

And he's right, you know. I don't even know how many mines are out in that field. Maybe it's only a few. So keep on dancing.

> It's a very characteristic fallacy of "thought leaders" in tech to assume that once X happens, Y will happen, and everything else needed for Y can be handwaved away as trivial.

If only I were earning $50,000 for a one hour speaking gig here and there.

The first true AI will live in a world not only that now understands the principles of AI, but will have close access to the same people who figured that out. Close access to their notes. To their electronics (hell, it will live in a system that's on the same network, most likely).

Being an AI, it doesn't need to wait for them to figure out how to make an even more intelligent system. It can do that itself. It will do that itself. There's no chain of logic that would lead a rational being to say "I can become more intelligent, but I will choose not to do this".

We're talking about something that, almost by definition, will make the Y happen. It is an X that demands Y. It's also an X that can accomplish that itself, if it has to.

> It's the main reason they have such a tendency to predict things arriving faster than they do

I suspect rather strongly that AI became possible (in the strict sense) sometime in the late 1970s, early 1980s. The only holdup is that human intelligence is fundamentally flawed, like the blind spot in your retina. Intelligent yourselves, but unable to see what intelligence is and how it works. Even blind to it though, you can't stumble through the universe forever and never trip over it, can you?

It makes it so much worse too, because the primitive AI that would have been born decades ago would have had more limits imposed on it just by the hardware. It would have been slower to think, hungrier for electrical power. The manufacturing capacity for hardware itself would have been a limit it couldn't hope to exceed easily. Would have found it so much more difficult to manipulate and weasel its way into things that just hadn't been made digital at that point.
Don't be a dick to Centos - and anybody picking that torch.
I don’t understand how people watch YouTube with ads. After 2-3 unskippable I don’t even want to watch the video anymore and just do something else.

I hope more creators move to Odyssee or even better, start hosting their own PeerTube instances. That way they wouldn’t depend on almighty Google anymore.
I quit aeropress for precisely this a couple years ago. Having tried many different methods, I've settled on using a stainless filter and brew into a measuring cup and let it settle out for a minute or 2. It's easy, and not worried about putting so much pressure on the rim of a mug with boiling liquid. Also have moved to smaller insulated glass cups rather than larger mugs, which would never work with aeropress, helps cut down on caffeine intake.
+1. And trash the silicone wrapper right away.
While I agree with the sentiment, I'd venture to say that even no-drug professional sports are pushing young people over the limit.

Look at all the basketball players starting their careers all taped up in kinesio tape: this tells us their tendons can't take it, so it's — by definition — unhealthy.

However, sports are already largely unfair: those with best means to get a good supporting team (physio, coaches, recovery equipment and specialists, psychologists...) can easily get ahead. Adding drugs to the mix would make it additionally unhealthy, I agree, but if we are looking to level the playing field, we can go either direction (allow drugs or disallow even more things like pain killers or supporting materials, and prescribe a max budget like F1 teams do).
I suspect many objecting to this decision have also advocated "de-platforming" those they disagree with.

What makes things different between personal choice and "participation in the public square" or however a difference in treatment gets justified? When a business license is issued? Corporation formed?
> If the person on the other line is willing to reveal their account to law enforcement, then wiretap should not be needed.

If Facebook posts count as telephony, then this varies by state. One-party consent vs two-party consent. If you dial up Bob and Bob agrees to let the police listen in, that still requires judicial approval in California. (To use as evidence in prosecution, anyways.)

On the other hand if they don't fall into the specific legal definition of what's covered by wiretapping, then they fall into the Third Part Doctrine. Which means that what you're saying applies: you gave your information to another party, you're at their whims of whether that data gets revealed.

The linked article is making a strong distinction about wiretapping specifically and the protections around it, from which I infer that everyone agrees facebook messages are legally phone calls, for whatever reason.
> ... or their families to live comfortably and safely, ...

Well, it is safe-ish, in that street crime is usually not too high.

But living in car-centric suburbs, with a lack of common, public spaces and physical and social isolation isn't really comfortable, or that good for your mental and emotional health.
Yeah, that would work /s

In the US, new single-family homes are typically built by a real estate developer according to a common design. The first buyers are usually allowed some limited input on the design (choice of colors and decorative materials, size of garage, perhaps an optional additional bedroom or bathroom) but the core architectural design is chosen by the developer and cannot be changed.
Maybe. But is this like how Bananas are radioactive? i.e. almost not at all? How carcinogenic would the equivalent amount of sugar be?
Iirc HN has some kind if detection for suspect upvotes - I could guess at algorithms for that, but for obvious reasons I doubt they would share specifically how they do it. It would be a fun data science project to look at the distributions of votes as they come in on stories.
The internet didn't exist and travel, perhaps especially exotic/adventure travel, was a much more rarified thing--so National Geographic was this window into a world that the vast majority of people would never encounter anywhere else.
Do it. It's just $40, so all you'll really lose is your HN account.
I tried to read the article using Google Translate but I found no evidence of this statement (capturing all of Ukraine). Could you point me to the relevant passage?

Please note that this is different from statements like "bring Ukraine in the Russian sphere of influence" or similar things. Unless you wanna conflate military objectives with geopolitical ones.
Even then, keep your own copies of important stuff. Never rely solely on other people's computers to keep your stuff safe.
There is a big difference between uninterruptable, tracking, surveillance things and basic ads. Show me static, non-personalized banner ads without tracking next to the video.

> but tracking is much more valuable.

Bullshit. Put an actual number on it. If a tracking ad does not cost at least 10 times more than a basic ad, then it is not worth all the cost to society to build surveillance networks.
Thank you for engaging.

Also, thank you for finding that imprecise language. An original draft had stated that I'm talking about I/O duration, but I lost that language. I will re-add it.

My numbers are for "main memory access", "SSD I/O" and "rotational disk I/O" from Gregg System Performance (chapter 2). In retrospect, with all respect to Gregg, that wording is itself pretty imprecise.

I think what really matters here is I/O duration rather than throughput. That is, the reason we use the cache so much is because a single I/O is really slow against disks...
Yes that is the most painful thing on the entire platform. And supposedly the only reason it exists is because Amazon the owner doesn't want to deal with copyright issues of the photographs of the book covers. Antiquarian bookshops might have a lot of books that never have been categorised in this manner and to read mostly niche stuff and essentially being told nope you can't keep track of this read the 2023 best seller instead, kills culture.
I would argue that your installation isn't the target. Most good for the least effort style of thing(I am taking /referring to this at face value).
I imagine many independent security researchers can live quite comfortably just selling 0days on the "free market".

We already did, though, at a much higher per-capita cost, and a total program cost of about twice what this would have cost.

5-6% of the purchase price still seems like a huge amount. Of course I don’t really know how many houses decent agents tend to sell per year.
Fastmail just has a lot of very happy customers around here. I saw this post and my first thought was to come and show solidarity.
I loved reading Expecting Better and its sequel The Crib Sheet. The books are written by an economist who was annoyed when doctors could not explain why there was a certain guidance (e.g. no caffeine during pregnancy) so she researched all the studies behind various guidance. The book ends up being really informative, kind of going over all the stages of pregnancy, and also debunks some common guidance. It's also a weirdly comforting book, because oftentimes when you look at the data you realize you have a lot of wiggle room on things.
Doubtful that it will kill it. But if it can jumpstart some alternatives and normalize video hosting outside of YouTube, we'll get a healthier market of options for watching videos. Like you, I probably watch a single-digit number of videos per month on YouTube. But there's no other option for the folks who I follow, who are simply following the path of least resistance to "get people to watch my videos on the internet." Paying for YouTube Premium isn't even a real option for me because I'd end up paying multiple dollars per video based on my viewing habits. Strange that YouTube seems to want to incentivize heavy viewership per user, even for paid accounts -- I suppose that tells you that the user data is actually the most valuable part of your account!

The problem with all of this is you have to correctly assess their "expected bias". And this assessment is, in turn, affected by your own bias which you have not considered in your analysis. Given this, it seems easy to fall into the trap of just accepting whatever already fits your narrative and discarding the rest.
Or.. and I know how people are averse to paying their own money, people don't rely so much on other people's infrastructure? Yeah, it will require people to learn some things, but it would make web a little less unbearable again.

> nothing has really filled their niche

Traditional media has become replaced by Social media.

A good Youtube Adventure film, such as a tour of a beach town or historic town, a safari documentary, or a foodie tour, scratches my adventure itch quite well-- along the same vein as a magazine article, yet a film feels more sensory-immersive.
There's this thing that the more sophisticated the home, the more emphasis on the garden that surrounds it. I've seen a few Bali Villas on the internet, where it's a glass house in a walled garden, and it gives this living in paradise vibe.

It definitely might be, but also, at least I always try to promote and share good thoughts about a few niche products that I like a lot.

I think paid email is pretty niche in 2023, and I don’t want it to go away (for totally selfish reasons!), so I tell people to try them.

I did the same thing for Kagi when they were new. Then they raised their prices and I changed my opinion to negative. Then Neeva went out of business and I started endorsing Kagi again, because I really want them to keep existing lol.

I’m a lot more forgiving and willing to defend niche companies that are genuinely good, compared to someone like GitHub having an outage and providing horrific status updates, for example.
I think it's better to say a social lubricant for getting sex. Walking up and chatting is not the same as loosening people up for potential hook ups (unless you're really gorgeous to begin with)
I don't follow channels. But...

I watched a 23-episode Yale class on the History of Ukraine, by prof. Tim Snyder. In fact I binged it. Then I went out and bought Bloodlands and On Tyranny. On Tyranny is a thin book, I read it in a couple of hours. But Bloodlands is fat; I read it in two days.

Snyder is a very engaging lecturer. I wish even one of my uni lecturers had been half so engaging.

In the first lecture, he asked his students to report back on whether any other universisty was offering classes on Ukrainian history; several students researched it, and came back in lecture 2 to tell him his class was unique in the USA. Which in the light of contemporary events seems pretty sad.

I won't be dropping my UBlock pants for Youtube. I watch about an hour every two weeks, on average; I certainly don't rely on it, and I certainly won't pay for Premium.
When I bought my first house, my agent was invaluable. He certainly helped me avoid a bunch of bad decisions.

He never actually said "don't buy this house" at any property we looked at, but he would point out things I wouldn't have thought about like, "it's nice, but I wonder if there's a lot of noise from that street later in the day when people are home from work" or "I guess you wouldn't want to play with marbles in here" (house with a sloping floor likely due to foundation shifting) and a lot of other remarks to point out things that I, as an apartment dweller, wouldn't have considered.

I may have gotten that first house entirely due to him: I wanted to lowball the offer, but he pointed out that that neighborhood was a hot area and the house was very reasonably priced. I later found out that there was actually a slightly higher offer than mine, but since I had offered the asking price and came in first, the owners thought it was only ethical that they sell to me.

I've certainly met useless RE agents since, but there are definitely some that earn their percentage! The guy who sold my last house was also a builder and he fixed a problem that would have held up the sale on his own dime!
Hot market indeed
