Well the UI-first thinking makes more sense, since in most cases you are solving process-problems, which involves "what does who do when?"

It's hard to communicate a process through a REST API. Sure you could document it incredibly well, maybe even have every part of your ui represented by an API endpoint, but ultimately, due to the number of customizations involved with each ERP view, you'd end up with some sort of bastard, which was never quite the same as the real deal.
Obviously, we want owners to have full access to their car's CANBUS.

A Quick Guide to Product-Market Fit
I'm technically aware, but do I really have the expertise and bandwidth to tell the difference between an actual CVE and one that isn't, for the whole database?

The database isn't really much use unless it's pretty accurate, as few of us have the ability to evaluate correctness.

In this case, where there's an anonymous report, and a clear, near-elementary level explanation of how the code in question cannot be a security violation and has since been removed, the CVE should just be deleted, to save bandwidth for everyone.
Why even ban them? In this context "insecure" seems to mean "vulnerable to theft". If somebody wants to buy something that's easy to steal, that's their issue.

If people inadvertently buy easy to steal vehicles that's an issue, and maybe there should be labeling, or or a testing initiative, or maybe it's just a temporary blip that will work itself out as independent parties pick up testing.

If it's known which vehicles are prone to theft the market should work everything else out. Insurance can price it in, and buyers can factor it in to their purchasing decisions.
What annoys me most is how status and one's ability to earn money have become intertwined. It would be great if they were separate; then those who seek money without status wouldn't have to compete with so many reckless, cheating, psychopathic status-seekers.

I guess the silver lining is that one's ability to spend money efficiently (to maximise satisfaction per unit of currency) runs opposite to one's desire for status. There are so many ways to get great value from little money nowadays... Precisely because rich status seekers aren't interested in high quality no-name goods, services and destinations. That's where all the real value is.

Real value is essentially wherever the rich people aren't.

Everything rich people want most is overpriced by definition because they create inflation in the markets they participate in. Then they stay trapped in those markets because of social peer pressure. 'Decreasing marginal utility' is a euphemism for inflation. That's why I try hard not to participate in the same markets as rich people when buying stuff. I want to earn my money working for rich people and spend it buying stuff from poor people.

I think the word the author is searching for is anomie. Kids used to develop their personalities via the strictures of a dominant culture, or in opposition to one. Now, there’s no dominant culture. There are a thousand, or a million, little cultures. There’s no big overarching societal goal/narrative to hook yourself to (or to oppose).

A sibling comment quotes Abe Simpson on being with it. I prefer a different Simpsons quote, from the ants on the space shuttle:

Indeed, the flipper-zero ban is obviously ridiculous, especially in light of the complete lack of even a hope of a ban on certain other tools that are often used for much more serious crimes; personal crimes rather than property crimes.
> Anyway, many people fail to understand that Azure Storage works more like a SAN than a directly attached disk--when you attach a disk volume to the VM, you are actually attaching a _replica set_ of that storage that is at least three-way replicated and distributed across the datacenter to avoid data loss. You get RAID for free, if you will.

I've said this a bit more sarcastically elsewhere in this thread, but basically, why would you expect people to understand this? Cloud is sold as abstracting away hardware details and giving performance SLAs billed by the hour (or minute, second, whatever). If you need to know significant details of their implementation, then you're getting to the point where you might as well buy your own hardware and save a bunch of money (which seems to be gaining some steam in a minor but noticeable cloud repatriation movement).

I am quite certain this is coming from CrowdStrike, I have never observed this behavior prior to its installation.

That may be so but they will need more information to go so that the ticket doesn't sit in a queue or get closed. They could watch /dev/urandom on their systems but if they do not see what you are seeing I suspect they would just close the ticket. Sometimes bugs will only be tickled under specific environmental circumstances. Have your security team dug into this?

For all of the hype of AI eliminating jobs and changing culture, if robots, machines, and AI can take over the job of agricultural workers I think that would do more to up-end culture and civilization as we know it than anything else. If you look at the great powers through history it was the destruction of the citizen-farmer dynamic (displaced by slaves acquired through conquest) which destabilized democratic and republican regimes causing them invariably to become aristocratic, oligarchic, and eventually authoritarian one-man-rule regimes. The greatest example that comes to mind is the Roman conquest of Carthage: so many slaves were brought to Italy that citizen-farmers who didn't acquire slave labor disappeared, unable to compete in the marketplace. Many historians point to this as the first domino that destroyed the Roman Republic and made the rise of the Caesars unavoidable.
Well what's wrong with it is that:

1) It's hearsay

2) It's completely subjective

Thank you. Reading through these comments I was surprised at how illogical so many of these comments are. People talking about towing cars or picking locks acting as if it's not obvious what the distinction is here.

Yeah people, nothing can have perfect security. That's a given anyway. I think the point is that if you can steal it with a $250 device SDR device, the car's level of security is the issue not the device and that should be acknowledged by their government before they ban something that will do nothing except put these things in the hands of only the bigger crime groups. These things likely wouldn't be hard to manufacture by hand if these criminals wanted to get a hold of them.
Imagine that you run HN. Imagine that I challenge your beliefs and worse, that I provide proof on a regular basis.

So you (the not-trying-to-be-evil admin) label me as toxic. You think up some way that what I am posting is illegal.

You tried banning people in the past, but that made them angry and they came back with multiple alternate accounts (alts,) so you mix deprecating many of my posts to the unseen bottom of feeds and shadow banning other posts.

This lowers the level of disagreement. Other moderators follow suit, until the whole HN forum is full of people who agree with the party line.

At that point, HN is dead. And this is what we want. We all want the world to agree with us.

I want a forum of autistic tech nerds who distrust authority and just want to be contributing members of society who help others. So I might use sneaky tricks to limit pro-cop and pro-socialism posters. They would feel like the whole Internet had died when their favorite forums were full of anti-cop libertarians who believed in the individual right to keep and bear suitcase nukes.

I've been there as a pro-liberty responsibility person. The reality might be that 90% of people agree with me, but the sneaky moderator tricks make it impossible to know.

If you want real change, mandate several things:

1. Anything moderated must list the reason it was moderated and a real human mist sign the moderation. For example, if this post were hidden the moderator would have to say why (spam, NSFW, bad language, off topic, etc) and include their real name.

2. A notice must be sent by email when moderation happens. So I would get an email explaining what post was moderated by who, why, and how to appeal. A permalink to the post must be included. No generic notifications would be allowed.

3. Anyone can easily appeal a moderation decision by filling out a web form that must accept 10,000 characters or more in each field. If any part of the moderation is incorrect, the post must be given a permanently promoted placement.

4. A right to sue in federal small claims court over inaccurate moderation that is not corrected within 12 hours. Cases should be prepared and filed online so that the other side has time to respond. The plaintiff gets to respond to the defenses response. After the sides go back and forth a few times the judge rules.

5. The right for everyone to see all posts, including moderated ones, and to select what to see and not to see based on author, keywords, and reason for moderation. So, for example, I see the user JoeBlow was moderated down for an insightful post I agree with so I can permanently unmoderate his comments on my view of HN, even if the mods hate us both.

You'all are responding like a 100 token LLM.

The context is, "is an activist method" necessary, or could the existing objective viewpoint take into account a fuller understanding of history over time.
So yes. Of course we gain a better understanding of history. Does that require activist methods? Throwing out old methods? Is the change fundamental to methodology?

No.

This is a real paper published by the University of Oregon under these new activist "methods". I present "Feminist Glacier Studies". It adds nothing of value and if anything, reduces the net value of the field. This is what a non-objectivity lens does to the field of knowledge. It destroys it. History is the same way.

Getting a degree is more than just being intellectually smart. Many smart folk can't apply themselves as they get bored easily so fail their courses.

Tiny successes in something like this - I've got a whole system of timers that are either tracking what I'm doing or tracking the time when I'm not doing something during work time.

From there I've got an automation that will send me a notification warning me the timewaster timer is about to start and that I should start working on something. There's a tiny slither of shame in there that seems to be helping! :)

I am also working on a more thought out app/system/service/bot that does indeed use GPT (and regular old if statements and cron jobs) to help me schedule out my tasks for the day, recover my schedule after missing tasks, shame me via a messenger interface for leaving a task on my list too long, etc... but in the most obvious case of irony I keep procrastinating on actually building it. It's getting there slowly :)

Additionally, some problems have gone on for so long without any attention to solving them that they’ve created whole new problems—and then new problems, and then new problems… at jobs where you discover over time that management has kicked a lot of problems down the road, it can take a lot of words to walk people through the connection between a pattern of behavior (or a pattern of avoidance) and a myriad of seemingly unrelated issues faced by many.

I just had my new therapist yesterday telling me

"doesn't it feel good to be consistent and achieve things" and I'm like yeah no shit.

"so you need to be consistent with something" yeah that's my problem dawg.

"what's the feeling you get when you want to quit?" it just happens that my life falls apart or I get really into sth else. does nobody else just lose track of all the bricks required to do things sometimes?

"it will eventually not become effort to do these things" no sir I can tell you from experience that it NEVER becomes natural for me to be organised and motivated. It takes substantial effort for me just to use a diary, which apparently is what is supposed to make me organised. Sometimes it becomes easiER because I have a streak of good habits, but it can fall apart at any moment because it's all a precarious conscious effort.

"that's because you've never stuck to anything long enough" i've stuck to different things for different lengths of time, at what point are you suggesting this actually starts working?

God I hate therapists. I sure do hope I actually have ADHD. Otherwise I'm fucked.
Remix is a wonderful, sane framework that I highly recommend for React developers. No monkey patching, no global context imports, no undocumented functionality etc etc. Had a hell of a time trying to wrangle Next and it was terrible. Next still doesn't have a way to completely disable prefetches on hovering over Next links unless you use a plain anchor tag which is the kind of insidious, undocumented behaviour that makes for weird bugs (setting prefetch to false does not disable prefetch on hovers). Remix just sends you browser and node objects like a standard request object in all the arguments and just uses the platform with the framework extensions acting as a nice layer on top
> where people are impoverished and dying through evil collectivists providing welfare states

Your perspective is too non-collectivism skewed. The West is a mish-mash, but it's the bastion of economic liberalism and capitalism. Those are so effective that they can pay for all sorts of social policies without affecting the productivity too much of the people making the money.

You should be thinking about the millions starved and killed in China or Russia or now Argentina when you think of the problems of collectivism. Thinking of somewhere like Sweden as a collectivist paradise is wrong - there are plenty of billionaires there. It's easy to pay for "free" stuff when there's plenty to go round, and the plenty is generally not provided by a collectivist state.

There are plenty of people who think that eating the rich would pay for everything. They think billionaires actually have yearly billions in cash to pay for social entitlements, rather than one-off ownership of valuable companies. That's the worry that's being discussed.
Perhaps we've spotted a case for sloggy Argentinean growth, since the country doesn't strike me as being an industrial giant or a R&D hub - what would they all do living in urban areas?
