As he has stated ad nauseam in hearings, he has provided more compelling, classified evidence to Congress. Were he to provide that evidence publicly, he would be committing a crime.

If he lied in the recent congressional hearing, he would also be committing a crime, and could face charges of perjury and contempt of congress, as well as the end of his career. One wonders why he would do this?

Not heated seats specifically, but any "option" that was cheaper to include than not. That's the definition of a standard feature, where it's just built into every car.

Power windows were originally an expensive option, but they got cheaper, and the fraction of cars ordered with manual crank windows dwindled, to that point that power windows are simply standard on most cars now.

If somebody said, okay every car has power windows but yours don't work unless you pay a monthly fee, I'd break out the wire cutters right in the dealer lot and fix the problem myself. Screw that. It's a standard feature and someone broke it, I'm fixing it.
I think there a lot of niceties that make laptops and portable computing possible - suspend to disk, advances in scheduling, ubiquitous hotplug support - that I do appreciate, but also do take a bit of architecting.
The linked thread that follows explains it in layman's terms.

The drug developers noticed that (a class of) cancer cells involve a shape change in the molecule that clamps on to DNA strands for the purposes of replication and repair. The molecule targets that shape change and thus prevents (a class of) cancer cells from being able to maintain and replicate their DNA.

Cancel cells die and can't replicate = no cancer.

False dichotomy. We can have both (and probably do - and you are likely one of the 200M winners since you write English, have access to HN and you have the free time to comment on HN).

While I agree with the sentiment, I can see 2 counter-points:

- "Nothing bad happens" might be the accumulation of risk until something _very_ bad happens.

- Something bad might actually be already happening, only silently. For example, teams suffering unnecessary difficulty whenever they need to work on some part of the codebase, but it's considered "normal" because that's life now.
Behold the new target market: children at 1mg [1]. The US markets melatonin as a vitamin.

I'm shocked that this is legal!

It's not a loophole. You have every right you were guaranteed by the license. RHEL also has the right to choose their customers. They choose customers who don't exercise the rights granted by the license. This is all fine and compatible.

I hate to use an anecdote but consider that you have some rights that you may exercise - say, free speech. You then come to me and enter into a contract. I am within my rights to not renew that contract if I dislike the things you say under your pre-existing right to free speech, and in fact, I can put it into our contract that I will cancel it if you exercise that right in a way I don't like.

This is normal and commonplace.

yes, and internet says EPA tested it and already asked Tesla to drop number by 3-5% in the past before range disclosure, so it sounds like current numbers are confirmed by EPA:

EPA data obtained by Reuters through the Freedom of Information Act showed that the audits resulted in Tesla being required to lower all the cars’ estimated ranges by an average of 3%. The projected range for one vehicle, the 2021 Model Y Long Range AWD (all-wheel drive), dropped by 5.15%. The EPA said all the changes to Tesla’s range estimates were made before the company used the figures on window stickers.

The entire point of the US being suited for HSR is that it is so sparsely settled in the center of the country that you don't need frequent stops, or you can get away with just having every 2nd/3rd train stop at a specific city - with 30min of spacing between the trains, that's still 1h/1.5h interval for "flyover states". And a single train carries up to 1.000 passengers, replacing 4-5 planes.

Perhaps they're using these keyboards on a Mac?
MacOS doesn't really use F keys. They're instead dedicated to some system-wide controls (media, volume, display brightness) by default, and you'd need to chord to use them as function keys. They're rarely assigned to anything anyway.
75% (84 key) is definitely your friend then.

It's similar to a lot of laptop layouts as well, so if you find yourself often switching between a laptop and desktop it feels quite natural.

> You have no idea what you're talking about.

I said it in force, you took it too literally. I don't care who they are or what their "achievements" are. If you care about improving security to the point that you will create patches on top of a open source program and then turn around and lock them behind an EULA that prevents people from sharing that code with the rest of the world you're not helping the security landscape at all. All your doing is making security something that only a select few will actually be able to pay for which is where I take the most issue.

If the GRSecurity team was actually invested in improving the security of the kernel they would be working to submit those patches to mainline. I have not seen any effort to refute this.

Edit: So again, because they work behind closed doors I'm just supposed to take their security contributions at face value without any way to audit what they have done? Again I ask again. How does that improve security? Security through obscurity is not security.

Whatever I do not wish to argue this.

Why on earth is excitement such a nuisance to a certain faction of nerds?
Yes.

The bane of old X11 environments and UI toolkits is the DPI/resolution of modern screens. Usually the sweet spot for them is around 1600x1200, usable on Full HD, unusable on 2K. Windowmaker and GNUstep included.

I used Windowmaker with GNOME session running in background for years as a main driver, and went KDE Plasma due to the reasons above.

Windowmaker icons are 64x64 and while there might be a way to increase them, dockapps are rendered in 64x64 max. Devs used the display limit to achieve a certain style, such as LCD dockapps. Useful and charming but it's small and unusable at 2K or above.

So the first thing you're going to get yourself wrapped into are the fonts and font sizes in Windowmaker and GNUstep, and you'll never achieve the same look and feel as default on appropriate resolution.
First: powered tools, mechanised factories, basic but modern chemical processes.

I doubt they will do anything to police it, and I don't think they need to. They're not trying to murder/kill rebuilds, they're trying to make it so that a CTO can't say "I can just use <copy> and it's free RHEL." You could still say "I can just use <copy> and it's close to a free RHEL, but it's not exactly a free RHEL". In the world of support, contracts, and certification, that detail is really important.
It's because when writing a contract, you can't consider all of the corner cases like you might be able to with code. The intention is that to be sharing stuff, where "sharing" and "stuff" is, unfortunately, poorly defined. The feeling is that Red Hat is going against the spirit of the GPLv2 because they're penalizing people for sharing.

Yes, the legal system involves a bunch of minutiae so that a good contract would define "sharing" and "stuff" explicitly but for people that don't want to be lawyers, it is an "annoying legal-type thing" that they really don't want to deal with. It forms opinions for people about the law when the law clashes with the intention of it, so it's useful for others.

I believe it. I guess my takeaways are:

Same as the firewall, it's fine if it's done right. But does every machine get link-local v6 addresses by default? My Mac is set to "automatic," which I assume asks the router. Even if I use link-local, does every router (even crappy ones) respect the no-forward rule? This is along with several other aspects of my network changing to use v6.

Meanwhile, if someone sends a v4 packet with TCP port 22 to my router, it can't tell where to forward it even if it wanted to. It takes effort to do that, namely a port forwarding config.
$100/vial insulin and $700 epi-pens would like a word.

Thalidomide used to cost $6 per capsule in the '70s when it was given for morning sickness (yes, I know, birth defects) but as soon as they found out it cured cancer the price went up to $18,000 and that's on GoodRx lol. [1] Harvoni for Hep C is $94,500 for a 12-week course.

Drugs aren't priced based on the cost to manufacture but based on the projected savings as compared to existing treatments for the medical system - or based on the value the provide to customers. Curing cancer provides value -> price moons.

Unfortunately healthcare is not and cannot by definition be a free market as a free market requires the voluntary exchange of money for goods and services. "Pay me or die of cancer" is not a voluntary exchange but a coerced one - hence the failure of pricing and availability of necessary care you see in the US.

I wonder about the dosage you might’ve been taking. Many, many people take much more than needed, and higher doses are more likely to have adverse effects. 250-300 µg is an appropriate dosage for most adults. Note that common over-the-counter dosages are 10 to 25 mg. There is a Cochran collaboration meta-analysis supporting this.

I work in a pharmacy school in the US. One of my colleagues told me a funny anecdote about traveling in Great Britain. He had forgotten his melatonin, so went to a pharmacy to get some. The pharmacist told him that it was only available with a prescription, being a neurohormone. But here’s some promethazine OTC. That’s Rx only in the US.
It really depends. a not super happy marriage also isn't automatically abusive and dysfunctional marriage either.

It's safe, secure, and boring. Not happily ever after, but you get by. I think these are the kinds of relationships that break down more in an age where "meh" isn't good enough anymore. Why not strive for the best if there's no pressure disengage?

The intention is explicitly and obviously that additional restrictions not be placed on these downstream users. The fact that you are only required to transmit to the entire universe is merely limiting the burden placed upon you not delineation of the limit of who can access the source.

I could, sure, although if I'm going to do that, I may as well just put an IPv6 translation layer at my router level and keep everything internally at IPv4. Which I'm seriously considering doing as the path of least resistance, particularly since there are no special IPv6 features that I really want or need.

But the last time I mentioned half-measures here on HN, I got dumped on pretty harshly.
> I think adopting it would have happened within a reasonable timeframe if it weren't as ambitious.

There's zero proof that an "extended IPv4" would have been adopted on a "more reasonable" timeframe, no matter how you define "reasonable" (faster, I guess is what you are arguing for?).

Exactly where and how do you expect "just add more address bits to IPv4" is an easier transition than IPv6?

The IPv4 header is a fixed size. You can't add more address bits without breaking existing routers. Period. End of technical story. You could embed the additional address bits in the next layer up (TCP/UDP) but you greatly increase the complexity of routing equipment by making it have to understand those layers, to what benefit? In the dual-stack real world we do that all the time with VPNs and STUN tunnels and other gateways and tunnels. We have those exact same tools, already, and those haven't made the transition any more "reasonable", have they?

But it's worse that while routers don't understand the extra bits, the parts of the addresses that get used (the prefixes small enough to fit in IPv4 headers) have to become massive NAT gateways and become massive gatekeepers of huge parts of the IP address space. We know from deep experience that IPv4 address allocation wasn't "equitable" (ARIN got way more space than RIPE and both got more space than AFRINIC and so on; companies like Microsoft and GE got /8 allocations just for asking in the right years).

Does it make that much sense to establish existing IPv4 holders as the forever "landlords" of the internet? That seems to me to only add more incentives to make the transition more unreasonable than IPv6: why support router initiatives that understand the additional address space when the IPv4 address holders can get "extra rent" if they don't, presumably charging all their "downstream" traffic for their gateway usage? We're in a time where IPv4 addresses have noticeable rental costs, I can't imagine what that would be like in a world where large parts of address space have to be on VPNs controlled by IPv4 owners. That doesn't sound to me like a good present or future for the IP protocol, no matter what.

General problem with "supplements" I imagine.
I wrote a few scripts years ago to automate the creation of packages, name them something similar to a popular project (typo squatting), and then verify them by creating a new pypi user with a new email address. The payload was just an http request to a server I ran.

The acquisition of Twitter, which, to be fair, has done down a lot in value since then.
>These things aren’t deterministic so it’s hard to even use things like trial-and-error experiments to figure out what works, which as a computer scientist I find completely infuriating!

Nitpick: they can be made "deterministic" in a strict sense by using a deterministic sampling scheme, for instance by turning "temperature" down to 0. This isn't necessarily helpful for prompt experimentation, though - when deployed, prompts are usually combined with other input, so you risk simply substituting the non-determinism of sampling with the unpredictability of whether it will work with all inputs.
