I don't think of myself as a cinephile, but I have started to pretty aggressively move all my movies to my NAS, and become increasingly frustrated by series and programs that are not distributed unencumbered through legally licensed means.

With streaming, I think Disney (and everyone else) have uncovered the ultimate vault. Before if something was "in the Disney vault" it meant that you just couldn't buy it. You could still watch your old copy.

One idea that I've been rolling around in my head is a "Little Lending Library", but filling it up with DVDs[1]. I don't know if I'm willing to risk my collection of movies to random neighbors.

If overeating has causes, then it's not really a root cause.
Since it requires a human looking at an ID and then pressing a button, the system triggered by the button press is likely quite exploitable no? Or even worse, scanning and storing an ID, which allows spoofing if those get compromised.

Recovery key isn’t susceptible to that - and isn’t susceptible to fake-id-spotting-ability or bribeability of staff either.
Our children had several years with their great-grandmother. We treasured that time for them and even arranged for her (my wife's grandmother) to live with us for a few days a week after she could no longer stay in her home alone. We were able to keep this arrangement for a few years. Our children aren't adults yet, so we don't know if our children will have children young enough that our parents could meet their great-grandchildren, but we're glad we didn't prevent the possibiliy by starting our family late.
Tesla's Pivot to China Saved Musk. It Also Binds Him to Beijing
Hey I think we both agree children should not be thrown in jail for shoplifting, or for insider trading.

If you shoplift anything of significance you might be looking at least a night in jail, but more importantly a criminal record. If you shoplift over the threshold of grand larceny you will absolutely be spending a bit of time in jail and will have a criminal record. These are virtually non-existent outcomes for insider trading, even though people "guilty" of insider trading are also thieves. Guilty in quotes because WTF knows, they are rarely criminally prosecuted.

So yeah, my point is generally about equality, but I was responding specifically to the casual "yeah that seems right" attitude about it.
You don't need to pull the trigger. You just do everything in your power to make their life unlivable.

They are definitely part of something criminal, not murder but the whole mess and the resulting deaths are a criminal act.
I remember, back in 1997, how magically good Google's search results were compared to other search engines. I'd look for something on Hotbot and somewhere in a sea of seemingly randomly ordered keyword matches might be the relevant result. But Google! It was often the first thing. We passed the link to the new search engine around, just to show each other how magical it was.

Times sure have changed. I don't expect that behavior now. Google is still the first thing I try, but I'm often much better off following an approximation of their original algorithm by hand - searching relevant communities of interest, looking for prominent links.

Maybe SEO won. Maybe the web changed. Maybe Google changed. Maybe all of the above. We're all poorer for it.
Well they're doing a shitty job of teaching this, because all of the office jobs I've had don't require me to have my ass in a seat, completely awake and ready to work at 7:35 AM, and when you're a teenager going through hormonal changes, that's a huge ask.

My current job has me getting here at 8 AM.

$16k PhD stipend in 2024?!?

Which program did you do your PhD at!!!!

Even UCSC has a stipend of $24k, BU a stipend of $27k, and UIUC a stipend of $25k.

No offense, but it's sounding like you attended a non-target program. At that point it absolutely makes sense to switch to software.

Also, you may need some hiring mentorship. Indeed is not the best platform for roles.

Also, Assoc to Sr Assoc is just 1.5-2 years so you are absolutely going to break $100k in 2 years
old news, they've been talking about the fibre-optic drones for a little while now.

essentially a very advanced, larger wire-guided SACLOS missile, a la Konkurs, MILAN, or TOW.

EW and jamming are so good that this is probably a must. radio controllers will get triangulated and hit, often quickly these days, and sight-picture could be heavily degraded (or straight blocked) by EW, so direct fibre makes pretty good sense.
Good. Rude opinions deserve even ruder retorts. Every time a thread like this comes up, I’m reminded that the average HN user fantasizes about licking boots, and that those who do not enjoy bootlicking are treated as pariahs.

Boomers trying to mass enforce parental controls via legislation is so bad for freedoms I don’t know where to begin. I wish I could do more than simply “be rude”. There is still not a way to punch someone through a computer screen, unfortunately.

Are they marked absemt on some kind of app?
Same here. The most use I made of it were

1) making it write some basic code for an API I don't know. Some windows API calls in particular
2) Abusing it as a search engine since google barely qualifies for one anymore

For actual refactoring, the usual tools still blow it out of the water IMO. Same for quality code. It just doesn't compile half the time.
Isn't it wildly classist to so patly assume that attitudes are that transmissible?

My great grandfather had like 10 siblings and worked on a farm. What's that tell you about me?
Complex sentences and uncommon words obfuscate meaning, when they should be conveying. I feel this needless complexity is often treated like country-club dues; you need to use it to belong.

Patrick Henry Winston was well known his achievements in machine learning, but also for his yearly lectures on communication.

What does 3.8 level mean?
> I think you're over-describing your use case, to the point that it's unclear what you're really saying. I read your "Introduction" section several times, and I don't understand if you're just saying "the use case is an authenticated key exchange" or something different. That makes it hard to judge the protocol.

Okay. I indeed failed to abstract away from the device properly. I'm guessing that the confusion comes from the fact that I had a specific device in mind, but failed to describe it.

> These two requirements are contradictory. How do you "authenticate" a server that has a different identity each time you interact with it?

Not necessarily. So how TKey works: the hardware contains a preprogrammed device secret. The hardware does not have storage. Upon each power-up it expects a program to be loaded. Upon loading that program, a secret is computed for that specific program: `blake2s(device-secret, program-binary, user-secret)` (user-secret is optional). The secret is generated deterministically, but unpredictable because we don't know the device-secret.

> Why not just use Diffie-Hellman? What else is this offering?

Given that there exists an "identity", which is the same every time the program loads, this identity can be used for authentication. The identity is different for every program, but after acquiring it once, a client application can perform a key-exchange that finishes with the signature proving the authenticity.

If 'device' or 'program-binary' or 'user-secret' changes, the secret changes. So if the secret is the same, you have quite strong guarantees that nobody screwed around with your device or program.

> If they believe the things you disparage it's because the governments and systems that the "smart" and wealthy have created have utterly failed at getting those people educated and involved.

I think the issue is that there are two groups of smart & wealthy people.

There's a mid-level of people who are happy to have more than they need and don't have the Machiavellian drive to extract every last ounce of money and power.

And there's an upper-level who are fine exploiting anyone and everything.

There are of course altruistic people who are extremely wealthy. But sort of by definition, the middle-level is never going to have the drive & energy to fight that upper-level, who's willing to do anything.

I guess my point is that there are two groups of smart & wealthy people, and the ones complaining about the lower class being exploited are not the ones who are doing the exploiting. It's a classic setup where the upper class keeps the middle class happy enough to not make it worth the middle class joining the lower class in revolution. And they aim the ire of the lower class at the middle class while they exploit the lower class.
I was at an R1, public land grant university. By the time I realized how insane it was, I was close enough to graduating that I just decided to stick it out.

I wasn't a great undergraduate and didn't have the background I'd have liked for the field I went into. I took a gamble on myself and it paid off, but yeah, there are some PhD programs out there that do pay a bit more. However, I am aware of a couple that actually paid less.

Because of ecological overshoot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_overshoot), which is a real problem (https://www.footprintnetwork.org/our-work/earth-overshoot-da....).

Not to say anything about you, but when I was learning physics, either I thought the professor was really good in which case I would usually understand the material just from lecture, or the professor was not good, in which case going to office hours wouldn't help and I would seek other resources, like YouTube videos from other teachers. A resource like OP's that could provide a different perspective and learning style would have been invaluable.
If they'd have the person they are looking for, to take a picture… they wouldn't need face recognition.

Buying from a niche, hipster-y local family farm (that shipped across the US through an online web store), it was about double what you pay in your local grocers, and that meat was so legit and delicious and high quality. I absolutely overcooked the T-bone steak and it still melted in my mouth.

One thing to keep in mind is that real beef, grass fed and grazing etc, has a much more gamey taste than Americans like. America really likes it's homogenized "meat" flavor

The point of containers is to run a process in an isolated environment. Microkernels by design allow isolating any process with very fine grain control, by allowing or disallowing certain IPC connections for a given process. Those connections can be enabled or disabled for a running process as well, which would essentially be like moving a process in and out of a container while it is running. Individual processes can also run entirely isolated stacks for things like networking, storage, etc. in an unprivileged way. The former can be particularly painful to deal with in Linux containers.

Containers are basically monolithic kernels playing catching to the features designed into microkernel-based operating systems.

Show HN: Pineqone – A simple way to research and plan a trip
Hi HN,
I've been working on this travel planning platform for quite some time now, and I finally launched it 2 months ago.

The motivation for this is that I love travelling, but I always have to go through multiple websites to get all the information I need. I get fed up with all the useless information that is posted on blogs, etc.

So I decided to create a website which has everything one needs to plan a trip.

I also created a Planner tool which lets users organize every step of their trips as easy as possible.

The goal of the project is to help people research and plan their trips as easily as possible.

I know this isn't the typical B2B SaaS that's usually posted here, but would love to get your thoughts!

Yellen to Warn China Against Flood of Cheap Green Energy Exports
The body never processes 100% of calories from food the way a bomb calorimeter does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorimeter#Bomb_calorimeters, but depending on how much energy it needs it processes more or less.

It's entirely possible to eat less food and have your body decide that food is more scarce and choose to strip more calories from your food than it was when you were eating more.

Thermodynamics is an asinine thing to bring up in a system that can reconfigure its efficiency on the fly to optimize for different environments.

How about you can use the bathroom when you need to, and if you actually find instances of students not using the bathroom, cutting class, etc. you address it by punishing those students. Give them detention. Make them have a chaperone at random times. Suspend them. Punish the behavior you want to regulate (lying about using the bathroom to goof off) and don't try to regulate unrelated and uncontrollable bodily functions.
That's fine. It is indeed possible to perform a check for genuine hardware. (I'm not sure it qualifies as "attestation".) It does not protect you from malicious program-binaries and swapped devices.
Birthday attach is a real attack and often useful in practice. "Just use brute force" is a huge oversimplification, but the SO link explains it in more detail.

Can't the far-right parties, politicians, and voters just be banned; for democracy's sake and to avoid a "tragic election result"?
I believe there is one more step. You have to somehow get the collision into the repository. Because if you have <hash> in your own repo and pull something from another repo with the same <hash>, the remote changes will not overwrite your blob for <hash> (it will stay the same). Or at least that’s what I seem to remember from something that Torvalds wrote.

I already have 128GB of RAM (DDR4), and was wondering if upgrading from a 1080ti (12GB) to a 4070ti super (16GB), would make a big difference.

I assume the FP32 and FP16 operations are already a huge improvement, but also the 33% increased VRAM might lead to fewer swaps between VRAM and RAM.
If they don’t link libc statically it can become a problem if the system-installed libc is corrupt or incompatible. My Arch install broke once and I wasn’t able to run pacman to correct it, because the libc installed was not compatible with pacman.

I like the creativity of the new form factor.

My son and I are working on a spending journal which puts forth a new kind of form factor for tracking expenses. Our emphasis is less on the accounting angle and more on the behavioral side. We use the journal for self-evaluation of individual spending decisions and as a tool to communicate spending intent within our household. It turns out that between myself, my wife and our teens... not everyone naturally geeks out with spreadsheets, and this collaborative journal has been a decent middle ground to coordinate spending.
So instead of a consistent system, teachers randomly punish kids for going to the bathroom if the teacher feels like the kid might be on their phone based on whether it seems to frequent?
2 years and 5 months here. He never slept well, wakes up during the night, makes all sorts of sounds while sleeping, and wakes up early (5~6 am). Doctor said some kids are like this and it may get better over the years. The lack of sleep took a lot of my concentration, energy, and memory.
My interpretation:

- Worst case: as good as 3.5
- Common case: way better than 3.5
- Best case: as good as 4.0

In the end, PR and Sony's pockets beat SEGA. That's really it. SEGA had many self-inflicted wounds for sure.

Games: what games set the world on fire on PSX, really? Resident Evil in '96 and FFVII in' 97? And the Saturn had killer games esp in '96. So it's def not the library IMO.

Hard to code for: devs had no problem dealing with the Playstation 2 a gen later, and the DC was easy to utilize but everyone dropped it when SEGA discontinued it, even tho the user base was good (in the USA at least, not sure about EUR).

Consumer good will toward SEGA: yeah, but look at reliability issues with Sony and MS systems. They were pretty bad, esp with the 360, but these didn't hurt their console long-term health at all.

The SEGA CD was not a flop in the States at least. It was always a high-end, kind-of-unnecessary cool product with some great games, but no killer app. It was successful for SEGA. (The 32x WAS a huge eff up tho for everyone involved. But I don't think on a mass-consumer level it's brief existence single-handedly crippled the Saturn).

People will buy anything that's marketed well in the States (can't speak for EUR). The Saturn was marketed like CRAP in the US. SEGA had its head up its ass and threw out all that made the Gen more successful than the SNES.

We can talk tech and minor details about what worked and didn't work for the consoles, but it's really just marketing and no good Sonic at launch (or ever) that doomed it.
