I was just watching a video[0] about how Private Relay under the hood and it sounds like authentication is somewhat tied to having genuine Apple hardware, as well as requiring an iCloud subscription.

If Google's relay just requires a Google account, there's no doubt that dummy accounts will be used to abuse the service. Apparently Private Relay sends a dynamic config of relay servers to use which they could leverage at any time to unmask you. I'm guessing Google will do it similarly.

So you found out about the vulnerability in the firewalls on your critical infrastructure, waited for a week before telling anyone and then sat on it for two more?

The Aeropress can do good things, but not following the official recipe. James Hoffman has a nice technique (backed by a lot of experimentation) that works well for me.

But for minimal fuss and consistent results, I agree that something like the clever dripper, a French press, or a "slow flowing" V-shape pourover are the best options.

That said, I don't think "water first" makes much difference. It's a matter of long contact time guaranteeing good extraction, and eliminating the need to worry about precise grind size.

In case anyone was curious, the following text is from the section of the article discussing "violent crime":

> Burglary is generally considered a property crime, but an array of state and federal laws classify burglary as a violent crime in certain situations, such as when it occurs at night, in a residence, or with a weapon present. So even if the building was unoccupied, someone convicted of burglary could be punished for a violent crime and end up with a long prison sentence and “violent” record.

The article does not state this explicitly, but it suggests that someone who burgles a residence at night with a weapon should not have a long prison sentence, if the residence turned out to be unoccupied. (Perhaps even if it was occupied but the occupants were not "physically harmed"?)
Moreover they're not particularly susceptable to remote cyber attack having been built in the 1970s.

Dampier, Cape Lambert, Port Hedland, are all single jetty deep water ports with single high capacity conveyor belts that run out to human operated ship loaders.

These aren't high volume container ports with fancy networked container picking & stacking robots servicing multiple ships at a time with complex consignment lists.

The iron ore shore facalities are physically, electrically, network wise, isolated mostly manual operations with joystick loaders, captained pilot boats, and line of sight sea flag siognalling and radio channel communication.

You can take them out with a bomb but not a cyber attack.
This comment chain appears to have a fundamental misconception of what constitutes safe and what does not.

Automotive standards and automotive coding standards approach safety in a different way than most people think (and given your comments I would say this includes you). If you're curious, you can have a look at some rules to evaluate automotive code that are published here: https://github.com/github/codeql-coding-standards

In short, the rules do not aim to eliminate failure or crashes, but rather make the crash predictable and uniform when a crash occurs so that it can be dealt with. This is further complicated by where and how the automotive manufacture chooses to implement safety controls. It is entirely possible to have a bunch of unsafe code running somewhere on a car, and simply have a small safety shim around said code that prevents the unsafe code from impacting the safe operation of the vehicle.

With that in mind, let's take the example that you use here of emissions cheating software. Emissions is likely not considered safety relevant (it might not even be QM, it just might be some code) and so no safety requirement applies to it. So, no real scrutiny would happen there regardless, at least from a safety perspective. See, validating that software passes a particular safety certification is time and money intensive and manufacturers therefore keep the amount of code that they qualify as safe to a minimum. This means as an example that the infotainment systems of many manufacturers are not safety relevant and no safety function should exist on or interact with them.

A few other things to consider from other threads:

- Telsa doesn't necessarily follow or adhere to safety standards. They (Telsa) are explicitly non-compliant in some cases, and this is partially why there are investigations into their practices.

- Industrial robotics code is just as bad if not worse than most automotive software from what I've seen. As you note, its that these robots are not under manual control

- None of this prevents the software from being open source. There are plenty of safety qualified open source projects. This simply limits who can contribute and how contributions are managed. The main reason why many things in automotive are not open source is that the ECU manufacturer isn't interested in doing so, and the Tier 1/2/3 that does the implementation is even less so.

There were a lot of individual websites, entire subcultures that you'd never know about unless you met someone who brought you in.

I wanted to show people how easy it is to do cool things with a computer, how low the barrier to entry is.* One HTML file. Your OS's built in text editor and browser. You look at the code and you can see it there in front of you! It isn't obfuscated. It isn't even minified. Everything is right there, all together. You can just save the file and drag it onto your browser. No Git, no zipped project folders. No build system! No server! (No MIME type errors!).

The "frictionlessness" of lowering the "activation energy", is not just nice for beginners... heck, it's nice for me! I can just download this file from Wayback Machine and continue hacking on it!

It does, of course, limit you to very small codebases, but that's what I like! Many small projects. The spring physics creature linked above is about 300 LOC total. The ASCII bonsai tree is ~100: https://web.archive.org/web/20220823113003id_/https://andai....

Can confirm. Have an office supplied HP business desktop. One day noticed that my system is slower than normal. After 5 minutes with smartctl, I found out that the SSD was constantly throttling down SATA link (SATA downshift), was not reading or writing more than ~250 MBps, and had some wonky latency issues.

Got a new SSD, moved the drive with dd, and all my problems are solved. Previous drive was by Samsung, but it was a "value" drive which even Google knew nothing about. It was probably built with bottom of the barrel parts, and something went bad earlier than expected.

I don't know exactly, but using one, it has the sensation of using the trackpoint on a Thinkpad. The puck you push, pull, and twist to make the motion is a bit springiness. The harder to push it, the faster the motion happens in the software on screen. When you release, it springs back to neutral. The old ones (late 90's vintage) had trouble coming back to center, and there was a hot key to rezero it if it was starting to drift. The newer ones don't seem to have the issue.
I never knew anything about this history. My great-grandfather moved from San Luis Potosi to Houston in the 1920s, and when that ended up not working out well, he taught himself stonemasonry and moved to California and built a house on land in the middle of absolute nowhere, which eventually became California City. I used to visit up there for a week every summer around Independence Day back in the 80s. Most of the family did not stay up there and ended up settling in and around East LA.

Interesting to think if this stupid idea had panned out. Would my family be wealthy land barons today just by virtue of settling in a place that boomed before it boomed? How many cities in the American west today are dominated by families that got lucky their desperate immigrant ancestor who had to settle in the frontier because they couldn't get work anywhere else happened to pick the right place a century before anyone could have known it was the right place?
Those analogies aren't good because the outcome is not randomized. That's what makes things addictive and dangerous (especially for children).

I think it's very easy to draw a line. When you pay money, the result has to be specifically given up front. It cannot be based on random chance. If you wan to buy a Pokemon card you have to buy a specific card (or a set with fixed cards included). If you want to buy virtual clothes for your avatar then you have to buy specific objects. If you want to buy a doll then you buy a specific model, not a random box.

Show HN: Tech Diff – Compare different technologies
Hi everyone. My name is Peter. Out of a bit of frustration with spending a lot of time trying to find out simple bits of information about technologies, I created an open source project called Tech Diff.

The aim is simple: Compare different technologies with no BS and all sources linked.

Right now, I have added in the comparison of some popular file formats. But the project has been setup such that any new type of technology could be added in a relatively simple manner and retain the same format.

The loss of glaciers and polar ice is already locked in.

Atmospheric carbon continues to affect the climate for > 100 years. If humans stopped emitting all carbon today, climate crisis will continue.

For natural glacial formation to resume, lower than 350ppm?, we have to go beyond net negative to net negative.

We've kicked off multiple negative feedback loops. We have to remove carbon faster than the tundra thaws, the oceans acidify, and the forests burn.

I'm certain you know all of this.

> There was no real 'war'

There was definitely a debate over how web browsers should interpret web pages - as XHTML or "quirks mode". HTML5 (with infinite backwards compatibility) was the outcome. Every major web browser implements HTML5 - complete with its super quirky and complex, but fully specified and consistent parsing rules.

> XHTML 5 is still a thing.

Is it though? On the web? I just tried, with this html:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html><body>
<div>
<div style="background-color: hotpink;" />
yo
</div>
</body></html>

Q: What do you expect the background-color of "yo" to be?

If this was an XHTML page, tags should be able to self-close. And in that case it should be black on white. But try it. Its not. The browser ignores the self-closing part of the tag, so "yo" is inside the inner div and it shows up in hot-pink. The outer div is then not closed correctly. (2 divs open, 1 div closes). If the page were processed as strict XHTML we'd also expect a warning or error, but the browser doesn't care. Neither firefox nor chrome emitted anything in the console about any of this.

As far as I can tell, the XHTML doctype has no effect here. The page is interpreted - as all webpages are - by the browser using HTML5's parsing rules. Not XHTML's.

There are contexts in which XHTML still exists. Like JSX. But the browser is not an XHTML renderer. Rail against HTML5 if you want, but people need to stop pretending that the browser supports self closing tags. They are not part of HTML5. Pretending they are causes bugs.

This is actually a common problem for test fixtures that involve miniature coaxial connectors (pretty much all of them are rated for few tens of mating cycles): even if the connector on device is used for assembly/repairs and goes through very few mating cycles, the automated test fixture used during manufacture of such a device is expected to last longer.

Most connector vendors have specialized connectors for test fixtures that last much longer (they are also a lot more expensive).
> there are two types of mathematics: cutting-edge stuff like this ,and then the stuff that fills textbooks, random arxiv pre-prints, etc that is more mundane

I somewhat disagree.

First: obviously, if you want to read really cutting edge stuff, in nearly all cases you have to read papers or preprints.

On the other hand, there do exist various kinds of math books: in rough decreasing order of topicality and increasing order of understandability for "ordinary" mathematicians (i.e. not specialists in the respective field):

- collections of recent research papers

- research monographs

- survey monographs/survey collections about some active research topic

- textbooks for postdoctoral researchers

- textbooks for gradudate students
