I'm curious about the chemistry here (though I have very little chemistry background), so, bearing in mind that I have zero interest in producing methamphetamine, perhaps you can elaborate a little:

– I can't see how Phenylacetone can have chirality

– I don't understand how any enantiomer of P2P (if one exists, see above) can be selected for specifically via a chemical reaction, especially here with tartaric acid, which is a chiral molecule itself, so surely you would need a specific enantiomer of tartaric acid to start with?

I'm sure these are basic questions, I'm just a dabbler. Any links welcome, no problem if this is out of place for HN.TIA

I have been contemplating lately if we need something like either the early days of computer games or the heyday of the Demo Scene, where people make amusements that are meant to run on embedded computers.

I'm not quite sure what that should look like, but in particular making physical puzzles driven by say an STM32 chip could be cool. Especially if you can have it change the rules of the game once you've solved one puzzle.

Anyway, teeny tiny game engines brings that whole line of thinking back up for me.
Docker needs the 3.10 kernel which is 10 years old.
The fact that in some (many?) places it's illegal to set insurance rates based on credit reports should tell us something: that at best they're an unreliable measure, and at worst they're (ab)used to discriminate.

Top comment explained how another person appealed it, but I don't think everyone could do this:

"I ran into the same issue as well making a visual novel. All I had to do was show them proof that we made those assets - character sketches, color roughs, unrendered 3D assets and mention the artist names and they approved it within a few days. My advice is make it as easy as possible for them."
> The only viable method is lab grown meat

I suspect it's true that the only way to substantially cut animal-based protein consumption at scale is some technological alternative that offers a comparable culinary experience but with a lower cost (and lower impact). Although as another poster notes, it's also true that — like many resource consumption issues — the distribution isn't flat, but shows the majority of consumption coming from a relatively small fraction of the population.

However, what I wanted to point out is that "lab grown meat" is not the only possibility in this general area. Precision fermentation of proteins (e.g. https://gfi.org/science/the-science-of-fermentation/) is another approach that seems to have potential. Although I note that I don't have a specific horse in this race, and would be delighted to see anything that can reduce the overall environmental impact of food production at a global scale take off.

If that property can shoot, then they’re qualitatively different. Robotics is, for the first time in human history, threatening to decouple control over a population with force projection capability.
I’ve done 6 different versions of “security training” as well as “GDPR training” over the past few years. I think they are mostly tools to drain company money and wasting time. About the only thing I remember from any of it is when I got some GDPR answer wrong because I didn’t resize your shoe size was personal information and it made me laugh that I had failed the whatever quiz right after I had been GDPR certified by some other training tool.

If we look at the actual data, we have seen a reduction in employees who fall for phishing emails. Unfortunately we can’t really tell if it’s the training or if it’s the company story about all those million that got transferred out of the company when someone fell for a CEO phishing scam. I’m inclined to think it’s the latter considering how many people you can witness having the training videos run without sound (or anyone paying attention) when you walk around on the days of a new video.

The only way to really combat this isn’t with training and awareness it’s with better security tools. People are going to do stupid things when they are stressed out and it’s Thursday afternoon, so it’s better to make sure they at least need a MFA factor that can’t be hacked as easily as SMS, MFA spamming and so on.
qemu surely is, it's the backend to a ton of virtualization products, Proxmox, UTM, etc.

Sure, but just because something is legally allowed, it doesn't mean we're not permitted to argue that it's a bad practice.

Some places don't legally allow this, so we should think about why: because it's abused, perhaps? Because it furthers discrimination?

The list of current protected classes isn't some holy thing; we can and should add to things that companies aren't permitted to discriminate based on, when those things are found to be harmful to people and society.

Every company I’ve worked with has phish baited employees and I’ve never had any problem. It keeps you on your toes and that’s good.

What happened in the article — getting access to one person’s MFA one time — is not exactly a catastrophic event. It just happens, as with most security breaches, a bunch of things happened to line up together at one time to make intrusion possible. (And I skimmed the article but it sounded like the attacker didn’t get that much anyway, so it was not catastrophic.)

And things lining up rarely happens but it will happen enough times for there to be an article posted to Hacker News once in a while with someone saying that it’s possible to make it perfectly secure.

They just have to catch someone half-awake, or already very stressed out, or otherwise impaired once.
I felt like you were trying to shift blame to Google due to the title "When MFA isn't MFA" and your emphasis on "dark patterns" which, to be honest, I don't think they are that "dark". To me it was because this felt like a mix of a post mortem/apology, but with some "But if it weren't for Google's dang dark patterns..." excuse thrown in.

FWIW, nearly every TOTP authenticator app I'm aware of supports some type of seed backup (e.g. Authy has a separate "backup password"). I actually like Google's solution here as long as the Workspace accounts are protected with a hardware key.

The only real lesson here is that you should have been using hardware keys.
Method-Level Bug Severity Prediction Using Source Code Metrics and LLMs
I was really happy with the now discontinued 12" macbook. Yes it was dog slow, but I did a lot of development on it* and it happily traveled with me around the world and back and forth. It was so light I would often have to check my bag to see if I'd forgotten it. That happens very occasionally with my MBA as well, and is a reason I didn't upgrade to the 15-incher.

I think the ipad pro with the "magic keyboard" weighs more than a macbook air...?

* Note: I do all my development in Emacs, not a heavyweight development system and generally do the builds on a remote linux machine so the slowness of the machine wasn't the big deal for me that it might have been for others. But sometimes, if the network was slow, I compiled locally and it was still fast compared to the much older machines we used to use!
A computer can process it in 4 seconds, but badly. Given 4 minutes I think a human with reasonable tools could do as good of a job as a computer.
It shouldn’t be declining it needs to stop completely. Now.
We don't have life boats (yet) but I do wonder if some part of the massive increase in wealth disparity we've seen is due to uncertainty about the future, or if the reluctance to take meaningful action to slow/reverse the impacts we've had on the earth is because it's already clear that our time is running out and there's nothing that can be done to stop it.
I think that if you're the one who created the asset, proving that would be relatively easy. The asset didn't come fully formed on first blush, so all you'd need to do is show the incremental work that led to the final asset.

Racism is real. And crt provides good insight with high degree of predictibility as to how our system of laws work to assist existing racial inequalities.

In any case, this feels like you're building a strawman.
Your statement is still true if you remove "in debt" from it. The question is whether or not being in debt (or having poor credit) meaningfully increases the chances of someone taking the offer from that bad actor. I'm not convinced it doe.

I've got a 300ah 12v LiFePO4 battery in my campervan, which cost $1k.

It is way too much power cause the thing is constantly being charged every time the sun shines and it is pretty hard to use 300ah in a campervan while you're sleeping.

The benefit of LiFePO4 over those AGM batteries, is that you can go to zero. It is worth every $ for that and for the weight savings (in a campervan).

Highly suggest checking out Will Prowse on YT. He's a great resource.
MacOS has had a host of these types of issues with their network stack over the last few years. They are almost always related to some "Magic" technology Apple is introducing such as AirDrop (raw wifi frames), Siri (multipath tcp) et. al. Essentially Apple have been introducing these new components with special elevated privileges which allow them to bypass or have priority access to the network stack in order to implement whatever brand of cross-protocol hoodoo they may require to function. At best, it's maddening, but at worst its a huge red flag that Apple seems ready and willing to accept these compromises into the functionality of their system. It is impossible to achieve total software control over the network stack in MacOS today.

> The train to Bristol & Cardiff passes Heathrow just a few miles away, but there is no direct rail connection at all.

The train is there, you could also get Crossrail (old Heathrow Connect) to Hayes & Harlington (or Ealing Broadway). Heathrow Express into Paddington and then out again ends up being faster because the fastest trains are the limited-stop expresses, but that's a question of rail network optimization and happens in all sorts of places (e.g. back when I lived in North London the train to Cambridge went through the rail station nearest my house (Harringay), but it was quicker for me to go into King's Cross and out again). Physical distance has very little to do with it. Most people arriving at Heathrow are not going to Bath (a city of less than 100K, compared to London's 9M) and most people going to Bath are not coming from Heathrow; having to change at a hub isn't that unreasonable.

It probably would be a good idea to refactor all those emulators to be supported by libvirt - it's not like the it requires the guest be the same arch.
Just because OpenBSD isn't relevant anymore doesn't mean anything vaguely related to it as an attack.
In what?
You clearly didn't read the article, and clearly don't understand how prevalent the MIDI 1.0 specification is today. MIDI 2.0 is a very recent development (this year LOL!) and has yet to be commercially adopted. The 1984 design is what is largely in use today. At the time of initial development, commercial synthesizers, not sound cards, were the intended generators of sound utilizing MIDI: https://www.vintagesynth.com/roland/juno106.php.
Starlink is not yet ubiquitous even in western countries (EU, UK, US, Can, ...). I believe the rapid expansion meant becoming more ubiquitous in western countries and commercial operations (shipnav, etc).

They have a long, long way to go before even talking about developing countries which already are densely populated and mostly have fast, cheap internet already.
The antenna or the array antenna should be pretty cheap because they're technically passive devices. The expensive parts, however, are active circuitry namely the down conversion circuitry and signal processing for beam steering. The trick is to reliably down convert the signal to low frequency baseband by maintaining its amplitude and phase in which information is encoded since frequency is ephemeral (can be changed and manipulated without losing the information). According to ChatGPT-4, the user bands for Starlink satellites are mainly using Ku-band for downlink between 10.7 to 12.7 GHz (satellite to user) and 14 to 14.5 GHz for uplink (user to satellite).

They are 3 ways of doing the frequency conversions namely superheterodyne (Single-IF), Direct conversion (Zero-IF) and the latest Direct RF sampling. The complexity is decreasing, hence the price is decreasing as we go from former to latter. Due to the relatively high frequency of Ku-band, Starlink antenna systems probably also utilize multiple down conversions or multi superheterodyne which make the price to be rather expensive due to the increased complexity of the circuitry and signal processing.

Now due to the rapid improvement in RF SoC/chip design by company like ADI and TI, we now have RF transceiver chip that can perform Direct RF sampling utilizing high speed ADC/DAC operating in Ku-band. Thus we can expect the price to be going down even further. I suspect the decreased in manufacturing for the antenna price is not so much due to the their better manufacturing iterations, increase yield, etc but mainly due to the recent availability of this high speed Direct RF sampling transceivers but I can be wrong.
AFAIK they do not use the same certifications that other major water filter manufacturers use. National Sanitation Foundation certification apparently is the basic standard most use, it's a third party organization.

Anything you can do with the official library you can do with kr8s. Some things will require writing low level HTTP requests if we haven’t implemented them yet, but it’s not so different to the official low level auto generated API.

I checked: his doctorates were in law and political science, with his undergraduate background consisting of a combination of philosophy, psychology, and economics.
No, the reason (in my case) was because the public schools prioritize social agendas over academic quality. My kids can do advanced math. My neighbor's kids estimate or guess. I hope the public schools in my area get de-funded. They are a waste of tax payer money. My choice had nothing to do with who is poor or rich.
Have you checked out processing or p5js? They both seem like they'd be well suited to something simple like this, they're not game engines they're graphics libraries but they're very approachable and easy to use, with great documentation.
How much did it cost per recipient?

When there's a middle man between source and destination (e.g. government), that middle man absorbs cost. Source: tax-payers. Middle man: government. Destination: Some subset of the population selected by the government. I know this was organised by some charity, but when the government is involved, usually that middle mad is incredibly inefficient, and just wastes money all over the place. So the output from the source might be $100. The middle man will spend $40 just to pay for itself, and lose another $30 just by being government. The remainder will go to the subset selected by the middle man. Over a population and repeated cycles, the source runs out of money, the government increases its requirements and losses, and in the end there's nothing left for the selected recipients.
On the east coast, Stop & Shop has the best self-checkout experience I've seen. You get a bar code scanner when you enter the store and scan and bag as you walk around. At checkout, you scan the reader, keep everything you already bagged in the cart, and pay. Checkout takes all of 30 seconds. Bonus: you immediately know what each item costs from the display on the scanner.
To emphasize, I 100% agree with you. I'm not arguing for more security training, I'm arguing for less.

"Hang up, look up, call back". That's it. Get rid of pretty much all other "security training", which is just a box ticking exercise for most people anyway.

I also agree with the comment about better security tools, but that's why I think "hang up, look up, call back" is still important, because it teaches people to be fundamentally suspicious of inbound requests even in ways where security tools wouldn't apply.

Nobody would bat an eye if they were compelled by the DoD to cooperate.
