Starting from evolution as the cause for the fact that our physical bodies present sensation to our awareness, I have to assume there’s a reason for that to happen.

The obvious answer is that pleasure, pain, ideas, memories, etc. all exist to drive the behaviors that are advantageous in evolution.

It’s possible that there’s a deterministic set of gears in how sensation drives behavior, but the role of experience in driving physical action would be at least one of those components.

So if we take evolution as the cause of life as we understand it, then consciousness is at least a component of physics itself.
> Where I live I was forbidden from leaving my apartment for a couple of weeks when my wife got COVID

So, you were told to self isolate because you were in a household with a sick individual. Wouldn't that be the prudent thing to do anyway?

Also, what does 'forbidden' means? What would have happened if you went out anyway?

The 8 most common allergens as identified by the FD: milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. These are called out on all packaged foods, which makes it easier, though I'm OK with some derivatives like soy lecithin. I also avoid yeast (brewer's or baker's) and a few other small things like black pepper.

I've been in remission for long enough that I could probably start eating a lot of these things again, but I have no desire to go through another Crohn's episode, so I'll probably continue to avoid these foods for the next 40-50 years (unless there's a miracle Crohn's cure in the meantime). After that, as I understand, a weakening immune system from old age makes Crohn's symptoms significantly less likely or severe.

It's also the case that overall traffic fatalities are skewed to include people with old, poorly maintained, unsafe cars, as well as intoxication, exhaustion, etc. You can personally lower your risk, as you've pointed out, or at least come to an understanding of your risk. Hell you can just drive more slowly, so that even if you get into an accident, it isn't a fatality.

It was on my second infusion. Started having trouble breathing about a minute in.
New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is “being really dumb” by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia’s cyber activities.

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

Motive and patience. Motive as you point out is shared by many parties.

Typically its only state agencies that will fund an operation with uncertain pay off over long periods of time. That type of patience is expensive.

Yes, but many people like the sound of "X-times faster than Python" while conveniently forgetting that the same thing can be (and usually is) done in Python + numpy & co. even faster.

I have come to appreciate "slowness" of Python. It trades speed for legibility, which is a great compromise once you have really fast native libraries one import away. Best of both worlds.
No - quantum uncertainty gives us the assumption that everything is fundamentally random and nothing is deterministic, unless we assume a meta-determinism (or superdeterminism) whereby fundamentally random outcomes are actually predetermined.

How does that relate with the experience of decision making? That's a complete unknown. But the simplest explanation is that free will is simple, once we define it as "the experience of making a decision" instead of the traditional, nonsensical definition of "the act of making a decision that is fundamentally independent from prior events". Usually free will is framed as "choice vs slavery", which is a useless definition because choices can't be made in a vacuum.

In other words, of course we have free will: We feel like we have free will, and free will is simply the feeling of having free will. Conscious decisions (if those even exist!) are physical processes just like everything else in the universe.
You can definitely find cheaper options like render, but render is definitely not worth it. Frequent outages and super slim feature set.

Could be that it takes any 10 buttons in a row, but there's a specific sequence of sounds that it does when you enter it, along with "you win!" that I don't recall happening with random keypresses. It's been a while, though.
> At the point an attacker has remote code execution

The attacker doesn't have remote code execution in the xz case unless they can speak to your port 22. Port knocking prevents them from doing so, provided they don't know how to knock.
https://one.one.one.one/family/ Cloudflare has a dns option for families that might allow you to add black/white lists - I can't find the documentation for that feature but you might have more success than I have had. It said they would add that feature in the initial announcement
Security through obscurity is only a problem if obscurity is the main defense mechanism. It's perfectly fine as a defense-in-depth. This would only be an issue if someone did something stupid like set up a passwordless rlogin or database server expecting port knocking alone to handle security.

Also as pointed out elsewhere, modern port knocking uses Single Packet Authorization which allows for more bits. It's also simpler and uses a different mechanism than ssh (which due to its age, has historically supported a bunch of different login and cryptography techniques), which reduces the chance that an attacker would be able to break both.
Huh, I briefly looked at the documentation for UsePrivilegeSeparation option and it looks very similar to what you're describing. Interesting why it didn't prevent this attack.
I like that you're pretending in two places in the comments that sick hives don't get robbed out during their collapse. I posted some reading material for you elsewhere in the thread. Give it a once over, it looks like you might learn something.

>It’s not clear whether China’s industrial capacity is as great as the US was then

PRC shipbuilding passed 40 million deadweight tons a couple years ago, that's comparable to peak 1944 US production during WW2, but sustained during peacetime and still growing.

But IMO, industrial capacity worth tracking is the harder count highend ordnances that can be stockpiled enmass. CCTV7 showed off automated factories that produce 1000 cruise missle components a day. A few weeks of production = enough theatre cruise missiles to satuate entire US+co hardware in region. Ultimately, peer war boils down to making things go boom and and magazine depth at scale.
But well-known VPNs mostly keep IP logs - I know from experience; in my company the FBI found a DDoSer this way.

Here's one attempt I've seen in other HN comments at a shared "awesome list" of these sorts of stories:

I think you might be letting your own political biases guide your opinion here. I don’t know any evangelicals who trust IC.
This entire article reads like an April Fools joke. It can be summarized, "I can't understand the mind of the God I think exists, therefore there must not be one, even though all the evidence points to willfulness behind what I have managed to understand."

The level of arrogance here is absolutely laughable. I would strongly recommend even a high school level theology class to this poor philosopher before he hurts himself.

I associate brew with macos (where a 3090 would not venture)

>This take is bordering on not even wrong territory. The point of port knocking isn't to increase entropy of your password or authentication keys per se, it is to control who can send packets to your SSH daemon, either to limit the noise in your logs or to mitigate an RCE in the SSH daemon. The vast majority of potential attackers in the real world are off-path and aren't going to be in a position to observe someone's port-knocking sequence.

If you read my full sentence in the context it stands, I argue that authorizing access to your openssh instance is done by sending an authentication code in cleartext.

It does not matter if that authentication code is in the form of bits, tcp pakets, colors or horoscopes as long as your transmit that in clear text it is in fact no a secure mechanism.

Yeah but now you basically have to always run an vpn that only exists between your server and your client, because otherwise your clear text authentication code is visible and at that point just use wireguard and make a 1-1 tunnel only for ssh with no known attacks, even if the attacker is in the same network.

Yes a vpn that has no known reliably attack vector is definitely better than a protocol with a known working attack vector
Doesn't that fall under participationism?
Well, obviously. What I meant was "Not sure about how it was before today in Germany". The effects of today's changes are not yet clear.

Currently building data analytics platform for agricultural customers; previously connectivity/control/update for IoT devices. I think I'm good at understanding and adapting to a new business domain, and enjoy that learning opportunity. I believe we build better software with a better understanding of the context it operates in.

Have done & can do full-stack work (helped current company grow from just three engineers) but lean towards backend/infrastructure in expertise. Currently working mostly on platform & data.

MEng EE & CS blend. (No professional EE experience, but somewhat maintained as a hobby.) 7y full-time permanent (i.e. post-intern) experience in web software.

> Race is determined at birth by parents' biology, therefore is biological.

I need to ask: what is race, specifically?

Living beings don't inherit traits in a consistent manner, otherwise all siblings would have been identical.

Most likely there are people who have parents of different skin tones who inherited the darker of the two but not the vulnerability to sickle cell anemia.

This is precisely my experience. Classes are painful to deal with. Decorators are not only unergonomic, they also throw away any type safety. Also Nest shoves class transformer and class validator down your throat, which are also a pian in the ass.

I've seen this discussed a fair bit, and always the recommendation is to use wire guard and expose ssh only to the "local network" e.g. https://bugs.gentoo.org/928134#c38

First, I don't see how this works where there's a single server (e.g. colocation).

Second, doesn't that just make Wireguard the new hack target? How does this actually mitigate the risk?
The value of math and spatial learning with Loren Frank
This is an artifact of how the Japanese system works. In a nutshell, they track households (families) with individuals as sub records of the family record.

Everybody on the family register record shares the same surname. Non-citizens are listed as distrinct references (for foreign spouses and the like) and they may have a different surname from the household record.

There is more to it than this but that is the key thing to know about the system.

Yup, Claude is my go-to now. Both models seem equally "intelligent" but Claude has a better sense of when to be terse or verbose + the responses seem more natural.

- gave an actual opinion, instead of just the summary

- included specific excerpts to support the opinion

- [bonus] talked to the author about specific questions the reviewer had

And I appreciated this last paragraph:
