At least in my experience a lot of airlines specifically say that buying the connecting ticket with the intention of not taking the whole flight is grounds for cancelling your purchase. That doesn't make it any less stupid, or wasteful... but it's there in print.

Seems to be the fatal flaw in capitalism. Companies will do anything to get an edge, including playing with the meta-rules of the system. They'll do anything else first before benefitting the customer

Why have operators at all? If that notation is good enough, then you might as well use it for the built-in types too. We're halfway to designing a Lisp!
I know what Theo says about (x86) virtualization[1], but I think it's still useful to virtually separate your random browsing the web from things like health and banking, or where you keep your ssh keys (if you don't use a Yubikey or similar to keep it off your laptop) -- or other secrets.

You can be a victim of a random drive-by, you don't have to be a person on a "list".

I agree, but is the design of the system malicious? I don't think so. It's just stupid, and exploited by malicious people.
Another key is that HDMI carries more power than display port. There are dongles for your tv that can get all the power they need from an HDMI cable. Not so far display port.

When it comes to use case, display port is better when connecting a fully independent device to a display and HDMI is better for connecting a peripheral to a system

Cardiac Services ---- 44.8% of billed rate

This screams pads and buffers. As in, the administrator adds random line-items to things as long as the name of the service is "similar enough" so that they can justify whatever amount they want in the end.

It reminds me of the auto industry. I've been replacing transmission selonoids, serpentine belts, brakes, fluids, etc... last 3 years ( I bought a dodge ram 3500 and if you don't do these things yourself you end up owing the cost of the truck 3 times over during its lifetime).

And I have to say, when I replace something it costs me 45 minutes + part cost. The repair shop instead lists it as "Transmission Flush Service" and charges $1500 when in reality it's running the engine for a minute with the pan off, then refilling it with about $200 in new transmission fluid.

Again, the repair shop is banking on no one wanting to fix their car. I can say the same thing about healthcare and specific supplements instead of getting superfluous EKGs and other "med junk science" or worse actually dangerous drugs that the doctor is getting paid to prescribe to you. However even I would get a cast put on by a doctor, just as I would have my break calipers replaced and my tires rotated simply because that service is much more highly competitive, and regular. I would also, of course opt for a heart transplant just as I would buy a new cummins engine if mine went out. (The joke about ram is that the engine is the only thing that will hold up, while the rest of the truck falls apart all around it 4 times over)
This entire article is based off the word of the father who has supposedly been flying with Skiplagged for over five years and somehow didn’t know that the airlines didn’t look favorably on it. That makes me just a little suspicious, since the time I heard of it my first question was “is this allowed”.
I mean, the lights look cool, but they are too low information and I don’t want the immediate notification anyway. I’m happy to have an always on screen I can quickly check to determine if a notification is actionable and have no problem flipping it back over.

The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) was replaced with the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) which is currently being rolled out.

Many soldiers find it much easier, at least to meet the minimum requirements. The ACFT comprises six events: 3 repetition deadlift (MDL), standing power throw (SPT), hand-release pushup (HRP), sprint-drag-carry (SDC), plank (PLK) and 2 mile run (2MR).

Minimum scores for the ACFT for males 17-21 are as follows:

MDL - 120 lb x 3 reps

SPT - throw a 15 lb ball 6 meters / 19.685 ft

HRP - 10 pushups

SDC - 3:15

PLK - 1:30 plank

2MR - 23:22 for 2-mile run

All of that is quite easily achievable for the majority of males 17-21, I would say.
Yes.

Containers generally assume a non-hostile workload and don't make assurances about certain kinds of tampering.
It's in the interesting overlap space with Notebooks. I don't know if that is a name you'd want to reuse for "non-reorderable literate programming", especially as more Notebooks move the other direction and support cell reordering.
The large Keras userbase exists largely because Tensorflow sucked.
Scaling is hard. What Meta did with 100 million users off the bat and basically no downtime or issues (Instagram had problems intermittently, but now fixed I believe), is not something Bluesky can do.

So they'll likely be conservative.

Also if they open, it won't be exactly now, because they're waiting for the hype around Threads to die a bit and people to start saying "Threads sucks I uninstalled it" and so on. Which some people will inevitably do, no matter if Threads is successful or not.
I used it for sifting through job applications (see my other comment).

I think it was worth it because even though we were a small boring company we received a fair share of drag-net style malware via the application channels.

Some of the attempts were pretty good also. I used to joke that the bad guys tailor their cover letters better than most real applicants. Which of course is a bit of a hyperbole, but there is a kernel of truth. It's not too hard to write a believable application letter that fits the archetypal IT position. Similar to not all fishing mails being full of spelling errors malicious application letters aren't either.

I don't know if we ever received a targeted attack, but I wouldn't know. I think bigger companies certainly will and I can only consider every HR department a high risk area.

Well if we can’t agree that the FTC’s position in this case is blatantly pro-foreign-monopolist at the expense of domestic consumers then I guess we’re sort of at an impasse. You seem to be asking me for a source from the FTC saying that they’re bought and sold by foreign powers. It’s rare to have someone confess to a crime, so you can see how this type of statement from the FTC would be hard to come by (although we can get close: “the FTC announced in March that it would send its own agency officials to aid Europe in implementing and enforcing the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). When challenged in an April congressional hearing, Kahn defended her position as simply ‘good government.’” per https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/4075612-how-one-us-go...). I’m basing my argument on what the FTC has actually done, regardless of what they have(n’t) said:

Microsoft offered direct evidence of this acquisition being good for US and global consumers (including “willfully” entering into agreements to preserve consumer access to their products via their competitors’ platforms). FTC offered “evidence” that Sony’s monopoly position would be (only slightly) eroded by this acquisition and then hand-waved that this is bad for competition and then hand-waved that this is bad for consumers. Further, the FTC’s own expert (who provided the “evidence” of Sony’s monopoly being eroded) couldn’t even support his chosen inputs/assumptions beyond more hand-waving that amounted to “well that’s what I think would happen.”

So you’ve got a poorly (if at all) supported tertiary-effect on the only people that should actually matter to the FTC (domestic consumers). That’s why the court found that FTC had “not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition.” The FTC shouldn’t be throwing US consumers under the bus in order to protect a foreign company’s dominant market position, especially with such flimsy evidence. If this was the first or second time this happened with the New FTC? Maybe that’s a coincidence. This many times? Well, that’s enemy action.

Where is your evidence that the FTC’s meritless case is anything other than the FTC working at the behest of a foreign monopolist? Who gains from this FTC action other than Sony?
When I was doing C++, one of my interview questions was an open ended one: "std::cout << "Hello world!" << endl;" What exactly is this doing, lets dive in to how it works.

You touch on kind of a lot here, and its pretty esoteric to even devs with 3-5 years experience. functors, operator overloading, namespaces, passing by reference to make the << chaining work, there is a lot you really have to know that is non-obvious. You can even jump into inheritance, templates and such if you really want to dive deep.

I thought this was normal after doing C++ for ~11 years, but when I finally broke out of the Stockholm syndrome and started a job working in other languages, I find it absurd how complex, or maybe a better way to put it is, how much language specific trivia you need to learn before you can even begin to unravel how a basic hello world! program really works.
How can you be sure that plus() and mul() actually do what they say?
The standard is excessively verbose. Instead of being able to represent a price of a range of procedure codes (as most of the rules engines define it), you have to list every single code individually when often the price is the same. How that standard was set is probably an interesting questions.
Containers rely on the security of the operating system. If you can compromise the system you can potentially compromise your neighbors. VMs rely on the security of the hypervisor.
I highly recommend it. Since I tried it a couple of years ago I can't imagine working without it.
Examples of things that I can't imagine doing in any other system:

- curl|bash or similar
- pip install, npm install etc
- run any random github project
- sudo install the drivers of my Brother printer
- install zoom
- plug random cheap USB devices to eg update their firmware

In addition to that you can easily restart frozen VMs without restarting the whole system, keep backups of your VMs (very handy when restoring or changing PCs), reinstall some VMs if you mess up, etc.

Not suitable is for GPU intensive work, though (although if you have a dedicated GPU in theory you can assign it to a VM).
Everything after "Grab some Arduinos, LEDs and buttons/switches and you'll learn" is terrible advice.

Wiring mains circuits is about craftsmanship and the ability to repeatably follow technical rules for low probability events that were nevertheless "written in blood". Tinkering with electronic circuits is not going to get you the engineering rigor you need to come at mains circuits from first principles.

You certainly can learn DIY house wiring safely as its own thing! The point is that they are just completely different skillsets, and you shouldn't be extrapolating confidence from low voltage circuits into mains wiring.

Also no, while 170 volt mains voltage (US residential peak voltage) is not likely to "kill" you, the actual risks are things like house fires from short circuits and intermittent connections. If you're doing anything where you're worried about getting "zapped", you're doing things horribly wrong in the first place.
I disagree, it’s heavily abused but very useful for types where it’s obvious what the operation is (inherently mathematical types like vectors and matrices). I wrote a macro library for C that vector/matrix math in prefix notation with _Generic overloads and it’s still too clumsy to get used to.
That's on the front of the screen, though -- so provides a useful notification LED when your display is off.

What the Nothing's progress bar requires is for you to put your phone screen down which is very different.
When will you release the desktop app ?. This can replace the MacOSX Note app for me.
That’s a normal phone artificially blocking apps from appearing. There is nothing “nothing” about this and it smells of Trojan horse of selling you a “something” when it’s time
Yes, they are less secure. VMs can rely on HW features to ensure memory isolation.
There are separate charge codes for everything, and all of those codes need to be reflected in the pricing data.

Hell, W61.61XA is the medical code for "Bitten by duck, initial encounter." Presumably, this means there's also a code for "Bitten by duck, again."

No, I'm saying many AI models use copyrighted works by independent artists to directly compete with those artists (in addition to other artists). And AI models use copyrighted works by software developers to compete with those software developers (in addition to other developers). Fair use determinations do care if you're competing with the work you copied.
Intel kills its NUC line of mini PCs
Containers share the host kernel, thus the attack surface is as large as the kernel functionality that is exported to the container by the host (usually almost all syscalls).

In VMs as far as I know the attack surface is much smaller as the interaction between the guest and host kernel is limited.
Regardless what the intent is, the outcome is that I'm relying on caffeine and sleeping in a semi-seated position when breathing gets too difficult. Luckily, this is rare because I know to avoid aerobic exercise and being in dusty rooms. I'm sure I'm not the only one either. And for people in my situation it essentially means that relief for these issues doesn't exist.
Also if you are going to create a 360 rotator, you don't need to kill the rotation as soon as the cursor is not on the element.
Why is there labeling or politics involved in protecting children other than to deter folks from protecting children?

I saw the movie, and didn't see any politics in it.
The important difference is that (like VGA) DVI and HDMI still dedicate particular physical wires to separate red, green, and blue channels. Display port does not shard individual pixels across multiple channels: all bits (all colours) of a pixel are sent on the same diffpair. If a DP link has multiple lanes then the bits of different successive pixels are sent on each lane.
You'll have to pry that second space from my cold, dead muscle memory.
Containers rely on the kernel to enforce separation. They're great for keeping trusted workloads from interfering with each other, but I don't trust them for potentially hostile workload separation.

If you can compromise the kernel (and kernel exploits aren't particularly expensive nor uncommon), then a container is like a door locked by a sign that says "Please do not open without permission." If you don't care to go through it, you won't. And if you want to get through it, it doesn't stop you. Once you're in the kernel, containers don't offer any meaningful separation.

Qubes uses hardware virtualization with a fairly stripped down Xen to provide the isolation, and that's a somewhat harder lock to crack open if you want to transit between silos.
A qube _is_ a VM though, no? So if you wanted to create a VM, you can create a QubesOS template and instantiate that?
I don't think it's terribly useful as an indicator of software progress. Like you say, it would be simpler to keep the screen partially on (it's OLED).

But I guess it could be used for notifications or for more hardware-y things like show your daily steps count (old fitbit style) or battery level (remember when motorola batteries had those super cool led bar graphs on the back in the 90s?).
They made a ridiculously complex and obscure system because it was insanely profitable. It's not really stupidity or maliciousness that's responsible, but simple greed.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Stupidity can't explain why everything is wrong. The American healthcare system is so totally broken, and broken in ways which so consistently benefit the rich at the expense of everyone else, that I can't see any way it could come about by accident.

(Plus we have seen some of the corruption that goes on inside insurance companies.)
On par with "experts", no.

Per the article: "outperformed the most skilled crowdworkers" on nuanced (but not highly technical) tasks like sentiment labeling.

By definition, it can't outperform the expert ensemble because that's where the gold labels come from.

Good HN discussion about an NY Times article covering the same research https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19708742
If the youth is checking in by themselves, it is not unreasonable to believe that they brought an extra bag and would need to check in something... or that they got a bag that didn't fit into the "it needs to be this small to check in".

I've... stretched the definition of "one carry on and one camera bag" in the past (my camera bag is about https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1547750-REG/lowepro_l... and then I've got a small hiking backpack with laptop pouch for my carry on bag). If it wasn't a camera bag (or my single carry on wasn't as compressible) I would likely have had to check one in at the gate... as it was I've always been able to put the camera bag under the seat in front of me and the carry in in the space between/around the harder shelled monstrosities that people try to stuff into the overhead.

If I had two carry on bags rather than a carry on and camera bag ("We may allow up to two carry on bags, space permitting in the plane") or one didn't fit in the bracket at the counter without smooshing I would would have had to check one in.

(Aside: I have never skiplagged - I just don't trust camera bags or laptops to baggage handlers and if packing light results in no checked luggage, all the better)

If the youth didn't know the nuances of how to pack for such a situation there are a number of things that would be gotchas that would indicate to the employee at the counter that this would be skiplagging... along with the existing red flags of the drivers license, and the family history of doing it.

---

It would have been interesting if they (the airline) were to rebook someone they suspect of skiplagging onto a partner airline that has a different connecting stop. "This flight is full, so we're booking you on Delta with a connection in Atlanta. Fortunately, it will get into New York City an hour earlier, we will be contacting your guardian there about the earlier arrival."
I wouldn't be surprised if your phone was sending a copy of every picture you take to third parties too. Roku, for example, takes multiple screenshots every second of whatever happens to be on the screen and sends them back to Roku who analyzes them to guess at what you're into and to identify the content.

I one day discovered that my phone's Samsung keyboard (the default one that came with the device out of the box) was logging every key press and sending it to a third party whose privacy policy said that they used it for "market research" and to guess at things like the intelligence and education level of the user. I immediately installed a new keyboard. I went with AnySoftKeyboard and so far it's been great, although, understandably, the autocorrect isn't anything close to what it used to be.
Do we need Intel to release these, or can they just sell the chips to integrators like they do with other desktops and laptops?
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. In this case stupidity is not adequate - obviously insurance companies know how to make this data usable, otherwise they couldn't exist. They have just chosen not to make the public format usable.
Clarifying, I'd agree with the implicit statement if all externalities were priced in. I just wonder if that's even possible.

For distribution of finite resources, I think free markets (without the scare quotes) are efficient.

But for something like public welfare, I don't think so, and I dislike that much is being swept under the rug regarding were the "value creation" takes place. I agree with GPs closing thoughts.
I work on a large distributed database system. SSDs absolutely have correlated failures. Also CMOS batteries. Also CPU and memory (think a manufacturing defect or a storage climate issue on specific batches that made it through QA). Pretty much nothing is 100% guaranteed to have no correlated failures. It comes down to probabilities. You can add flexibility, variation, vendor/sourcing diversity to reduce risks.

Yes, the performance advantage is from less isolation/more sharing, and that's also why they are less secure.
