Is it really the case? There must be a cost to refusing to do part of your job. It might not be paid directly by them but by the union (in turn with the contributions of all affiliated workers) but it should be more than zero.
Even the articles are higher quality, to be honest.

In cases where a small vulnerability is successfully turned into a larger vulnerability, everyone wins, right?

Considering that there is “more than one way to skin a cat”, it is not a given that vulnerabilities further along the chain will be resolved by closing the initial vector.

When a chain of vulnerabilities is reported it might become clear that not only does the initial attack vector need to be closed, but additional work needs to be done in other areas because there are other ways to reach that code which was called further along the attack chain.

Another one is where they have a limit on how short a name can be. I even remember a discussion on the Linux kernel mailing list about that. Linus himself wouldn't accept names shorter than (IIRC) three letters.
But I was in high school with a guy from another country, his name consisted of a single letter. He didn't even have a first or last name, only that letter. And it was official - when the loans and stipends arrived it was all printed on the common wall on 132-char folding paper, from the governmental student loan bank. His name (one letter) was there.

(p.s. I did present what I wrote above on said mailing list back then, but as far as I remember people simply decided to ignore it as too rare to care about, in addition to those who for some reason taught I just made it up (why should I?))
Ask HN: Is it impossible to use Kagi as default search engine on iOS?
I've been using Kagi for about a year and am very happy with it. But as of recently Apple stopped allowing custom search engines to be set as default for Safari. Kagi has a hack for fixing it where you set the default to something you never use and then the Kagi app somehow redirects that website but it kind of works but then stops working multiple times a day.

I tried their browser Orion which comes by default with Kagi and adblockers but the browser is very buggy and even loses my tabs sometimes.

I tried firefox and it's very nice but it doesn't have adblocker so it's a no go.

Any suggestions folks?

While not quite the same thing, most schools will allow football players to finish their degrees after their football eligibility has expired. Given the amount of money live sports generates due to being one of the few places advertisers can be guaranteed an audience, schools that used to be stingy with limiting scholarship money to what was required by the NCAA, can now be very generous. But yes, this isn't quite the same as letting players focus on football first and then work through their degrees once their playing career is over.

This one is puzzling because "shelter" (right to adequate housing) is directly a human right we once agreed upon.

But when we view this as a commodity and allow housing to be an investment vehicle it really displays the lack of empathy and care for the humans around us we have.
My nephew plays football at a university in a Power Five (now Power Four?) conference. So far, he's experienced much of what you called out. But, they have held him to a far higher academic standard than I expected.

He went to junior college first. After his first year, his current university brought him to campus a few times for recruiting purposes, but they didn't end up making him an offer because of his grades. A year later, his grades were up, and he got an offer from that university.

At this university, bad grades will cause you to be dropped from the team and lose your scholarship, no matter how big a star you are. They drill this into the players and make it clear that they owe it to their teammates to keep their grades up. I didn't expect that, and I assume it's far from universal at this level, but I'm glad to see it.

It's also a great opportunity for my nephew. He and his parents don't have the resources for an education of this caliber (his parents are both teachers), but he is getting it because of football. And he's getting much more active support in that education (through things like the tutoring mentioned above). He'd love to play professionally. Now that he's the wise old age of 20, he understands how low the odds are, and he's making sure he gets an education that will lead to opportunities for a good non-athletic career. Not all of his teammates have that clarity, but he says a lot of them do. One of his teammates graduated before his football eligibility was used up, so he's now getting a master’s degree.

You can argue that it's not fair that football players get so many more resources thrown at them. But at this level, they are a huge source of funding for the university. Through things I've heard from his coaches (I've been lucky enough to meet the head coach, the offensive coordinator, and a few others), my guess is that the university brings in somewhere in the neighborhood of $100M/year from football and spends something like 30% of that on football and support for the players. That 30% is seen as protecting the rest of the $100M (if the team doesn't do well, that money is at risk). These numbers are for a university that is not a perennial top 20 team, so I'm sure the numbers can be significantly higher for the top football programs.

Not due Windows.

They sell at lot Linux in Azure successfully. Forced users into Microsoft Teams (worst piece of software…) and lured users to upload their data in the cloud. Before it were the operating system and applications but now - their data is in the hand of others.

Users? Most ignore their contribution to mass-effects (software scales) and therefore vendor lock-in.
Business customers often think in short terms. The fees for Microsoft are high and the software has drawbacks. A migration (to Linux) pays off in long term and requires personnel and a strategy. And things which require time will pay off only later. When the CEO/CTO isn’t working there anymore.

Linux succeeds. Also on Desktop. Red Hat and Canonical are shipped pre-installed on some ThinkPads and Dell. But you need to need many devices to gain weight.
Valve is doing it right. A device people want (Steamdeck) pre-installed with Linux and an eco-system they want to use (Steam).

This is a super interesting thread, but (un)fortunately Haidt's claims about a teen mental health epidemic have been pretty convincingly debunked.

https://reason.com/2023/03/29/the-statistically-flawed-evide...

Aaron Brown checked a sample of the papers Haidt relies on to build his case and found that they couldn't support his claims. They're of the sort of quality we've come to expect from the field, dominated by tiny unrepresentative samples, bad methodologies, bad statistics, weak signals and so on.

Unfortunately Haidt's initial response was to make a circular argument, saying you can't demand a high quality of evidence for the crisis because there's a crisis, and to engage in a subtle form of gish gallop by saying that surely not all 300 papers he selected can be bad even if a subsample were.

https://twitter.com/JonHaidt/status/1641850836287356930

Still, to his immense credit Haidt engaged seriously with the criticism and so Brown wrote another response:

https://reason.com/2023/05/30/not-every-study-on-teen-depres...

I didn't express "concerns" about specific studies; I argued that the majority of the 301 papers cited in his document are garbage. I went through each category of studies on Haidt's list, chose the first one that studied social media and depression to get a random sampling, and then showed that they were so embarrassingly bad as to be completely useless. They were guilty of coding errors, fatal defects hidden in mid-paper jargon, inappropriate statistics, longitudinal studies that weren't longitudinal, experiments in name only, and red flags for hypothesis shopping and p-hacking (that is, misusing data analysis to yield results that can be presented as statistically significant).

"A bad study is like a bad mortgage loan," I wrote in my original piece. "Packaging them up on the assumption that somehow their defects will cancel each other out is based on flawed logic, and it's a recipe for drawing fantastically wrong conclusions."

It's quite probable that there is no teen mental health crisis.

And if you need an explicit binary, it is very easy to make one. Prepare a large enough file filled with the same byte (or generate them on the fly), let gzip to compress it, then observe where the zero byte start to repeat. Cut everything after that point and repeat the zero byte from there on. In my system:

$ head -c 10000000 /dev/zero | gzip -c -9 | hexdump
0000000 8b1f 0008 530a 659e 0302 c1ec 0101 0000
0000010 8000 fe90 eeaf 0a08 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*
0002010 0000 0000 0000 db80 0383 0012 0000 4100
0002020 5fff 23b7 0150 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0002030 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
*
00025f0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 e000
0002600 cb26 3ba5 803e 9896 0000
0002609

So you can keep the first 0x18 bytes and repeat zero bytes after that, preferably very slowly. (The middle bit is an arbitrary block boundary, while the last bit is CRC-32 and the uncompressed size which the client will never see.) I have also used `-c` option to avoid the original file name in the result, which precedes the compressed data.

Relying on pools to get the data doesn’t seem very reliable. Phone carriers should have good numbers on how many users connect using 3G form base station logs. But may be they have no incentive to share because it could create pressure to delay 3G sunset.

You can't just say they are going to fail if we disclude the main reason why they are going to succeed!

There is a ton of money in gambling. That's why it's a very serious competitor.

They have a rare luxury of being able to tell advertisers to shove it, if they can make all their money doing gambling conversions.
I believe the big 2016 bump is due to Trump. Does that have international impact? Since I'm German and still had daily news about his behavior I say yes. As far I can remember we never had so many news about any other US president. I mean Trump was very active on social media and was very attention seeking, much more than other presidents.

Why would Trump cause depression? First of all he basically said all the things young people care about (climate change, environment, social justice etc.) are nonsense. Secondly his "diplomacy" was pretty aggressive. None of us non-US citizens wants to get drawn into a (possibly nuclear) war. Thirdly he caused a very big divide, not only in the US population but worldwide. Everything has become black and white. You're (as seen from the proponents of the other side) either a weak woke justice warrior soy boy snowflake or an old white racist Nazi hillbilly sociopath. There is no "gray" zone.

In addition to that the divide, his "free speech" approach made many topics that were previously taboo (also outside the US) daily topics again. Extreme nationalists but also extreme antifascists dared to speak out loudly again worldwide. Their extreme plans cause anxiety and stress.

Not sure exactly where the line lies between "consumer" and "enterprise". But, anecdotally, my employer (which is a pretty big enterprise) has small HP laser printers which cost a few hundred dollars (<500) with duplexers and wired network cards. The model is M402 or similar.

They've always worked perfectly on both Linux and Windows and need no maintenance, just remember to turn them on. Most of them are still on their original toner (we don't print that much).

Newer models seem to come with wifi, but I have no idea how well that works.
I would very much like someone in charge at either HPE or Juniper to explain to me in plain English what that means exactly, in practical terms. I doubt it means anything.

Few points:

- Not sure if people would want to "talk to" a device in public.

- Anything and more that this device do can be done by a smart phone that people already have.

- I feel like people prefer using a UI interface instead of speech.An example to this behavior might be using delivery apps instead of calling a restaurant.

- Looks too wide to fit into most pockets.

I think this has to be a huge chunk of it. I'm 40, have an established career, make the most money I've made in my life, live in a smaller city and I can barely afford to get by. I can't afford to take a vacation. I can't afford to buy land or a boat or something.

Retirement situation looks grim, likely a bullet to the head. I have literally nothing to look forward to and every day gets harder and harder to tell myself "better things are coming" because I know they're not. Short of a violent revolution in the US, the screws are going to continue to tighten. Like, this is it. This is the culmination of my life's work, barely getting by.

I can't imagine being a teen in today's world. I guess the benefit is that they probably don't understand just how fucked they are.

Though it probably didn't factor into the Big Ten's decision to not invite Cal and Stanford, at some point their academic research cartel would end up attracting the attention of someone in government or politics that doesn't believe such a cartel serves the purpose of their research funders, primarily the US government. If Vanderbilt loses out on a grant that goes to a less appropriate research group at Nebraska simply because Vanderbilt is in the SEC while Nebraska is in the Big Ten, does that best serve the taxpayers funding the research? With Cal and Stanford in the cartel, the weight of those connections would be very heavy and hard to ignore.

The comments here are needlessly pessimistic and dismissive of a new data flow paradigm. In fact, this looks like the best NoSQL experience there is. SQL while is a standard now, had to prove itself many times over and also was a result of a massive push by few big tech backers.

Rama still looks like it needs some starter examples - that is all.

From what i could gather reading the documentation over few weeks... Rama is an engine supporting Stored Procedure over NoSQL systems. That point alone is worth a million bucks. I hope it lives up to the promise.

The Latin cultures certainly don’t have the same hustle and competitiveness as the US seems to have. In fact, it always sounded strange to me how in English they have this concept of a “loser” as an insult, as if losing in the rat race means you’re worthless as an individual.
I meant in the next year, but it's probably true of 2025 as well.

My primary basis is continually trying to get a Linux-capable machine with a RISC-V CPU, which remains difficult. Look at the number of SBCs released each year for the last... I dunno, 5-10y? A bit of x86, a lot of ARM, and at the very end a single digit number of RISC-V boards. Which still are slow, expensive, or both. Even if RISC-V ships exponentially more boards each year it won't break even until after 2025. If you wish to offer data to the contrary feel free.

Now, there's a possible argument for number of non-Linux-capable chips, but I don't know how to gauge that; the... Cortex-M0? I think? Is still a popular option AIUI. Likewise, if you have actual evidence feel free to share.

(None of this should be read as dislike for RISC-V; I want to use it, but the market doesn't yet agree, and even when it does take off the competition won't magically become "legacy" at a result.)

Edit: Actually that last bit deserves more emphasis - while I believe what I wrote about numbers, it's secondary to the rest of the comment; RISC-V is great, but it in no way renders everything else "legacy" so long as they remain actively used and developed (the latter is important, but ARM continues to improve so the point stands).
Sure, but that's one specific type of cheese that they can make whereas they would have extreme difficulty making any of the other hundreds(?) of types of cheeses. If you want a specific type you're still going to need a recipe and the tools to follow it.
