> How did that user get to such a website in the first place? Through a link in an email message?

Nope. Through an expired domain of a once-legit site that was taken over, or through a mom-and-pop legit business that had their website taken over because of a wordpress bug. My brother mentioned to me the other day that he got to a "computer has been infected -- call this number" website from clicking on a Facebook ad!

Hmm? I thought some code points combine to create a character. Even accented latin ones can be like that.

Also we need to agree on what is a character.

I'm not sure tbh! I also agree with PostgreSQL. The last time I used MySQL was MariaDB in 2015/6 or something.
Another misconception is the 'live pay check to paycheck' statistics that are floating around, which isn't really well defined. I know many people who live 'paycheck to paycheck' simply because well, after maxing their 401k, they spend all their money every month. Doesn't mean they couldn't cut back if they needed to, or tap into a large 401k (and pay a penalty) but it's not like they're destitute.
As others in the thread have noted, there are two separeate issues here:

1. Young people should be able to get a quality education regardless of their families' financial situation.

2. Everyone should have an equal shot at attaining positions of power in society (not so much for their own good, since almost nobody is going to attain these positions anyway it's a small benefit relative to the total population, as for everyone else's good - we don't want to be governed by a hereditary caste).

For (1), you want high quality free public colleges (elite institutions are simply too small regardless of what you do with their admissions process).

For (2), you need to make sure admissions at elite institutions is equitable (most important priority: ban legacy admissions).
This is especially true in U.S. health sciences, where to get money from the NIH, you must plan and describe the outcome of the next 3-5 yrs of research. It's not acceptable to say, "We're going to explore this area for 5 years and see what we find and hope for a surprise."

Obviously, you then only get very incremental, low-risk, low-reward research, but high-profile scientists who mainly serve on the committees at the NIH and dole out funding get to keep their small business (err, I mean lab) going with minimal disruption in funding.
AVs help prevent malware from scaling. Sure you can bypass an AV to hack O(10) pole, but can you bypass it to hack O(1000000) people?

What's the point of "protecting" random SSNs? It's a 9 digit number and there are 331 million current people / active numbers. Even if you're generating numbers completely randomly, 1/3 of them will be real.
I've always hated going into an office, I hate the drive, I hate the shitty coffee, I hate having to check which of the toilet seats ISN'T already caked in shit from the QA guys, I hate having to watch my smoking cowokers take the first 10 to 20 minutes off the start of every hour to smoke and the management allowing it because they also smoke. Then they bitch when I leave on time and they still have hours of work to make up. Now people can fuck up their own shit and I can just do work. Covid made it possible for companies to pull their heads out of their asses and offer WFH for more positions.
American here: I've only heard "desi" used as a self-descriptor by South Asian people, usually Indian (but I think Pakistani sometimes as well?). It doesn't carry a negative connotation here that I know of, though I might have missed one that does exist.

I don't know much about the internals of python (or compiler theory stuff), but it would be cool to productionize a script with types and make a static binary out of it. pypy/mypy and other projects are fine but they don't support latest python versions and libraries. I want the ease of python but fast once you lock down the dynamic programming features.
And of course, you will spend all of your time in the office zooming with other people who aren't there.

Time to get a new job.
I couldn't bring myself to be indebted at such a young age so I skipped college then. But this is america, not europe things are different.

For better or worse, indebting people at a young age is how the "college educated worker" pipeline works and the class system functions and controls upward mobility. Not to mention military service.

If you are ok with mandatory military service and more stringent and competitive college entry exams as well as the government telling you based on your score what degrees you can pursue for free, now all you have to do is convince this union of 50 different states to agree with you and it is doable.

Even though college is paid, you can still get plenty of well paying jobs without college or work your way up by gaining experience to compensate for lack of college. This is only possible in America. It doesn't matter how much skills or experience I have, no one will hire me in the EU or Asia based on lack of degree alone for example, but even if it is 10+ years, I can make up for it in America.

I am just saying it isn't as simple as they're making it sound.
I really wish I could configure this crap to cache somewhere other than my C: drive

Or better yet, how about asking me where I want to store my models?
unless you’re actually in that very rare category of “i can’t believe i get paid to do the thing i love” (all of the job — not just the fun parts), then how is taking any job not you accepting the ultimatum of “either i work for someone else, or my landlord kicks me to the curb”?

author’s advice, if taken literally, is to homestead? not that i don’t get the appeal — i just don’t think very many are actually cut out for that.

I do not think it is a good idea to treat public universities like a big vocational school. Academics at liberal arts institutions provides value to society that is unrelated to those discipline's vocational utility.
Leroux has been in custody since 2012. If he was sentenced to 25 years in 2020... he would only have 17 years to serve. it's 2023 now, so he has 14 years left.
It does bother me when that hate is directed at anyone who might make the decision to return to the office when faced with a RTO policy from their employer. The author is plainly saying such people are dehumanizing themselves.

I would hate to see that kind of contempt for others spread, especially for a compromise that a large majority of people will probably make.

I'm not a saint myself, but I would prefer if popular articles on the subject urged us to look at others with empathy.
>“ahh, got me there lads, you’ve turned Manhattan into one big living room”

The "gotcha" IS the point. Jewish people ~~believe that god put loopholes into his rules on purpose, as an explicit reward for studying his teachings, and that finding and using those loopholes is basically an intentional part of Judaism. Remember, they are the chosen people, god gives them special treatment.
I think you're in an uncanny valley here.

Single metro area destroys a lot of the benefit to workers of WFH. It's not about not going to the office. It's about breaking real state.

You're also losing a big benefit to the employer: the ability to hire the best talent from a pool of 300+ million people instead of those in just one metro area.

This plan gets you the downsides of WFH, namely that it's harder to casually communicate, without the upsides to either yourself or the employee. Go all-in on remote or don't.

BTW the difference in real estate cost between say the SF Bay Area and most of the rest of the USA is so great it'd be cheaper to fly everyone to SF every 30-60 days than to pay the salary premium to afford housing there. (... and it's not like employees are pocketing that salary... it all goes to real estate.)
There's also the possibility of super flares from red dwarves.

From the last one:

> The magnetic fields' arrangement and intensity are responsible for areas of intense activity on the solar surface. For our Sun, these areas appear darker and are called sunspots, which have been found to occur in areas where solar flares are released.

> Solar flares from red dwarfs previously measured can be 100-1,000 times more potent than those released by our Sun. In 2019, Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf, let out a flare 14,000 times brighter than its pre-flare brightness.

> Solar flares are sometimes followed by hot plasma sent out from the star called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Its scorching temperatures can blow strip away the atmospheres of planets and even boil away liquid water from the planet's surface, reducing the likelihood of it hosting life.

(Tangent to the tangent - https://youtu.be/FF_e5eYgJ3Y is a neat video - Close Encounter with a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) :: On Sept. 5, 2022, NASA's Parker Solar Probe was about to make its 13th close approach to the Sun when a coronal mass ejection (CME) -- a powerful explosion of magnetic fields and plasma -- erupted right in front of it. ... )
I almost put this in there, I don’t think it would inherently be a bad thing at all, it just keeps the imbalance there.
GitButler | Senior Rust Developer | Berlin | Onsite | git

About GitButler: We are building a git-compatible next-gen version control. Currently a team of 5, including one of GitHub cofounders (https://twitter.com/chacon).

Product Docs: https://docs.gitbutler.com/features/virtual-branches

Role (Berlin, Onsite): You will be working with us developing a desktop app using Rust & the Git internals (libgit2). We are looking for an experienced and practical Rust developer to join our tight-knit local team in our cool office space.

You can use m-p/n as you mention, same as, say, in regular bash, or search. Or c-c c-p, c-c c-o etc.

But TBH I mostly just use the ordinary ! syntax (e.g. `!!` or `!bla:*` or !200 etc) because it’s even faster and works fine even when no editing is available at all.

So if I used find to search for an executable it’s just so effortless to type ./`!!|head -1` rather than searching up, selecting and copying a region, going back to the end, editing it, blah blah. Or even worse, reaching for the mouse.
Same w/ Rust and Python, this is really neat because now each thread could have a GIL without doing exactly what you said. The pyO3 commit to allow subinterpreters was merged 21 days ago, so this might "just work" today: https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/3446
> This organised propaganda against Tesla needs to stop, sure Musk is an a*hole, is he an evil a*hole like some othe CEOs? I don't know...

In your post, you say that don't know. It seems others do, based on the responses to your post. I recommend those who do not know something, consult those who do, in order to learn, and thus know. As for me, it depends on whether you consider toxic narcissism "evil".

In any case, elmu's words and actions and behaviors are not those of a person seeking less attention, and for every internet plea of "leave elmu alone!", there is a twitter post by him effectively pleading "look at me!!!1", so the cries of "propaganda" ring pretty hollow.
I would not want my 90 year old mother, or my technically incompetent 64 year old brother to not have an antivirus on thir computers, even if it occasionally makes mistakes.
Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad deal for the battery owner, but rather that it isn't the huge spread that you had assumed based on a reasonable electricity price. :shrug:
You can ask why they didn’t do the same for networking

When it was built, it probably looked a little like:

I wonder what happened when the views were obstructed by the building next door.
I am hearing a ton of issues with your company’s culture that have nothing to do with WFH. I genuinely hear your concerns as sincere, but, from the outside, all I see are warning lights. Anecdata, but I don’t know where my people, my boss, and any of my thousands of coworkers are, but I rarely wait long for a thoughtful reply, unless it’s “hey I am tied up but will get back to you EOD. Does that work?”
The most interesting thing to me is a new kind of jealousy towards fully remote workers. I feel quite a good number of people turned a bit sour after tasting WFH then needing to go into the office.

Funny, I had turned off notifications for UberEats exactly due to this.

You can't actually manage these notifications until re-opening the door, re-enabling them.

You’re misinterpreting me. What I’m saying is that people in urban areas are overspending on infrastructure when simple adjustments to city planning would mean less of a need for extra infrastructure per person.

This applies to Suburbs as well. Many American cities that people think are too rural for cycling or bus service are actually very populated and only have issues with car alternatives because of planning mistakes like non-grid subdivisions, front-facing parking lots, and human-hostile road designs (no/poor bike lanes, high traffic speeds, dead space allocated for high speed traffic infrastructure like merge lanes and onramps)
Why bother? Real question — seems like no advantage over a terminal window, except you can c-x b to it. Perhaps that's enough?
It's called satire.
> Not even to protect your spouse? Children? Family?

Not even to protect myself. I'd exhaust all available methods of avoiding fighting, and I'm sure at least one would be successful. If not, I'd just be captured or die. War is such a bad thing that I would literally rather be killed than participate in one, if those are my only options. (Those are almost never the only options.)

> As for the claims that the male population can't leave the country, there are plenty of exceptions when they can and even then they don't need to become soldiers.

Just because there are exceptions doesn't mean that the vast majority of Ukranian males aren't having their human rights stripped by their government. They are being enslaved in service of a war that many of them would not themselves choose to fight, as plainly evidenced by the fact that double-digit percentages of Ukranian women have fled over the western border of the country. It's shameful.
It's not cheating! If the bible is supposed to be the word of god - perfect - then obviously any creative interpretations which a less faithful person might see as "loopholes" were actually intentionally left in there by him. Frankly, thinking you can second guess his lawmaking by deciding that you, a puny mortal, know what GOD HIMSELF meant better than he did when he had it written is arguably heretical!
> you can use something innocent looking which you just have laying around on the machine, like a picture.

This works well on a file you decrypt often. What can happen with infrequently used files is that many years pass, you upgrade computers and/or operating systems, remember to copy your encrypted volumes. When you try to decrypt your volume, you remember the passcode, but forget which "innocuous" file you used as a keyfile, even after you boot up your old computer you had handed down to your cousin.
This is an interesting argument, but not convincing. You are essentially claiming that the information content of a classical recording is low, and could be replicated with fewer, simpler instruments. However, I suspect that many of the interesting subtleties that make a recording sound “beautiful” would be lost that way. Surely such nuances are why classical musicians are so passionate about their instruments.

(FWIW, I’m way more of a punk fan myself, and usually find most classical music pretty boring.)
The ghost flight already loses money. It exists to enable the flight to Melbourne to exist - it is essentially an additional cost to run that flight.

The increased cost would be passed on to the ticket prices of the Melbourne flight. The ghost flight would only be eliminated if the increased prices lower demand enough that the Melbourne flight (including the cost of running the ghost flight after it) becomes unprofitable.
Yeah, I hate it to the point of being personally offended. It has nothing to do with Johnny Cash's rendition. I'd probably feel a bit better, but not much, if it were advertised as a NIN mashup.
"this is Microsoft actively removing a competing Web browser" is definitely an allegation implying more bad faith than just Windows Defender had a false positive...
I started earning during the pandemic and had a sweet life. There was no place to spend money other than buying stuff from Amazon, and streaming subscriptions. I saved a lot and expected my life to be this easy, always.

Then came late 2021 and 2022. I wouldn’t understand the hole in my pocket and failed to save even okay amounts.

I got in touch with seniors, asked dad, and read up on financial hanits and markets, and I am slowly on the track to becoming a financially responsible adult. In the last 4-5 months, I have saved well.

Now I wish I had saved much more during the pandemic years. Life was sweet and easy then. Could save so much even after spending a lot.
You can always say "feel free to fork my project, I currently don't have the bandwith." That's absolutely within the spirit of open source.
There are other US and Canadian cities besides NYC which have that.
That sounds like bad financial advice, and that you’d be be better to accept it and put it in savings for however many months. If you don’t stay the required amount of time, return the money. If you do, ta-da, it’s yours.

Ask your tax person first, of course.
exactly this, the quality of education needs to be improved. not every job today needs a college degree (but that may change in the future with manual jobs being automated away) but the access to a degree should not depend on the income of the parents.
The problem is not what people need but what Js app needs :)
There are a lot of differences between state labor laws and taxes, remote doesn't mean you can just change residences willy-nilly.

> I don't know what point you are making with your CO2 numbers. Say the actual thing you think you are demonstrating. Are you saying electric cars won't reduce CO2 emissions? That the average person over estumates how much CO2 emissions will be reduced? Say that then? I have no idea what you are trying to say.

I don't know why you are claiming my data is FUD when I meed to explain this basic fact about EVs. It's also explained in the report I linked.

The point, which is very well known at this point, is that manufacturing EVs actually causes much higher emissions than ICE cars. In other words, at time of purchase, buying an EV is worse for the environment than buying an ICE car.

Since EVs are cleaner to drive but not manufacturer, it takes time for EVs to emit less emissions overall. That's what I have mentioned and the chart in page 6 mentions. It takes tens of thousands of miles of use for EVs to have less cumulative emissions than ICE cars.

So this is just one component that shows EVs are not strictly better. My overall point is that such estimations do not take into account the rest of the EV ecosystem which can only worsen the numbers for the EV case.

Given people usually buy new cars fairly frequently, it's very possible that EVs are a wash in terms of environmental impact and that it might take several decades, if ever, for them to actually be better. This is important to understand, to question, and to investigate.

I was saying "flagged" (note the italicization of the last three letters) in comparison to the news article's use of "flags". Of course this HN post should not be flagged, and I agree that a disruptive false positive by first-party AV (which Microsoft only corrected after several days) is newsworthy.
