Yes ;).

I have become somewhat… jaded, in my view of the current tech scene.

I’m sure that some of it is just sour grapes, on my part, but that doesn’t make the problem any less real.

I don’t really feel like going through my posting history, but there’s been a number of times that I’ve been “OK, Boomer”ed, here (I suspect that you’d need to turn on I See Dead Posts to catch most).

I’ve learned to accept the SillyCon Valley ageism, but it still pisses me off, to see the awful results of disastrous decisions made by folks without experience. Many of these jackpots were entirely predictable, to anyone with scars.

If it were just the Principals, getting hurt, I wouldn’t mind so much, but the blast radius tends to include a lot of collateral damage.
They're the ones that cost-cut the operations of aforementioned critical infrastructure to the point of it being so vulnerable...

Just look at catastrophes caused by PG&E in 2018, ERCOT in 2021, or First Energy in 2003. Not a single one was caused by an attack on critical infrastructure, they're just cutting corners!
"And if you do happen find a jawbone in your bathroom, my suggestion is first to contact the local authorities. Sure, a fossil in travertine likely comes from hundreds of thousands of years ago. It isn't a crime scene. But depending on your state or nation of residence, laws governing discovery of human remains on your property may be complicated and having the paperwork in order with the police, sheriff, or coroner is the first step for most investigations."

No thanks. I'm not going to complicate my life with paperwork and police investigators because of a small piece of a might-be-a-fossil from Turkey.

You can't prove a negative. Did you know that the blue whale was declared extinct in the 80s only to have a pod show up some years later? We observed there were no blue whales and then there were.

I understood the general idea, but I totaly misunderstood the details. You should ask some of your friends that don't know the game to read the text and rewrite it until it's foolproof. (Fools are very creative, make it even more clear than neccesary.)

Perhaps skip at the begining the part were the users can generate stories and make it super clear that you are publishing them. I guess most people just want to be the guesser.
Maybe the developers even know better, but were forced to do it by project managers (or other management)? Because this sounds like just the kind of "security issue" a manager could get hung up on...
It sounds like some of your thought processes are getting in the way of your success. Have you considered seeing a therapist? I think you would find it beneficial.
It is indeed disappointing, but I can also understand. Hit releases on Steam can easily rake in millions, and they're probably talking about an Ur Quan Masters type release where it's free on platforms.

That said, they wouldn't open it for two years after release, so they're eating their cake and having it too. But hey, I don't care that much; I'm just happy that they're considering it. When was the last time we saw that?

That's why I said "with reasonable accuracy and consistency". Human can't be SURE either. Nothing is ever SURE if we want to stretch it to absurdum.

My entire point is that computers can be better than people at a given visual recognition task. Therefore we might discover that some information is present in the data even though we previously thought that information was not recorded.

That's literally the entire argument. I'm not sure what you are opposing.
Couple things going on here. First, BSD folks don't diss Linux, they just state the ways they believe their BSD is better. Linux folks get their identities really wrapped up in the OS they use for some reason, so that might result in hurt feelings, but most BSD users are also Linux users.

Second, most BSDs (Esepecially OpenBSD) are not really interested in "getting more users." Theo is probably the biggest example of this, he would still work on OpenBSD if he was the only person using it, because he is making the OS he wants to exist.[*]

Unlike Linux, Windows, and MacOS, BSDs aren't made to take over the world, they're made to be good operating systems.

You took “don’t reimplement the browser”, something that is generally incredibly true, and cargo-culted it into placing some old farts on a pedestal just because they were there ‘first’.
With that particular game it was a matter of memory. If you had 8MB or less free you were in for a BAD time. Ideally the thing really wants 16. So loading it inside of windows would be an interesting time as it uses its own chunk of memory off the top.

Learned that years after I had finished the game. I had an 8MB machine and updated it to 16. Wing Commander 3 went from taking minutes to load each level to doing it in seconds.

> the elitism of the BSD world was infuriating back then.

You do have a point there.

I found it very difficult to try to get FreeBSD up and running well even ~20 years ago, and yes, up to around the Ubuntu era, the BSDs were just a bit too hardcore for me. Linux was hard enough, but one got the feeling that most of them were trying to help, trying to make stuff work and make it easier.

(All right, except Debian. There was a strong attitude of elitism in that community, too, and while traces are still there, Ubuntu has taken Debian more mainstream than any other derivative ever did. Stormix, Corel LinuxOS, Lindows, Libranet... all tried but none quite cut it. Ubuntu made Debian easy, and Debian has benefitted a lot from that, IMHO.)

> My personal experiences highlight the magnitude of the problem. Upon graduation from medical school in 2013, I owed approximately $180,000 in student debt — what might seem an outrageously high number that is actually about $10,000 less than the average for today’s medical school graduates. I scrounged and saved during residency, living in a tiny Chinatown apartment, riding my bicycle to work every day, and sneaking expired patient sandwiches for lunch so that I could make my monthly $700 debt payment. Yet upon completing residency, the amount I owed had, to my disbelief, increased to $188,000 — all my efforts had not been enough to cover even the interest accumulating on my loans.

> I am far from alone. A mentor in residency, several years my senior and making over $200,000 per year, once revealed that she had moved back in with her mother just to get a handle on her student loans. Another colleague had a marriage proposal rejected because of his mortgage-size debt.

Tons of compromised NFS consumer devices
Hi all,

I've got a service up and running with protection. 5 Minutes after I get it hooked up the internet, it's started being attacked from all over the world from (seemingly) synology NFS servers.

It's interesting as the attack is coordinated: names and passwords are tried out in alphabetical order, and the attacks come from all over the world with no distinction east / west / ... from Spain to Honolulu to China, Russia and Australia, there's full coverage.

The endpoints indicate that it's consumer devices connected often via ADSL.

I'm putting this up here to
(a) maybe reach somebody from synology - my best guess at the compromised software from peeking into some of the IPs.
(b) warn you: update your NFS :)
(c) seek advice on best practice: clearly, no blacklisting helps against such an attack. 2 Factor authentification does, as it's just mere password bruteforcing (seemingly). Any idea what else to do?

Best.

Below an extract of the attack logs, if somebody wants to have a look.

The most interesting thing about this is that someone who was recently fired was able to get into the Google Cloud CEO's office. I've been in much lower-profile buildings where security checked everyone in in the lobby and even with an escort you wouldn't be able to just go into the CEO's office.
Employers love that attitude and will ride it all the way to the bank. And once you're older (and wiser) they will replace you with a younger, hard working employee who they pay less.

The unfortunate truth is that today's workplace is purely transactional --- no loyalty is given --- but employees are certainly free to expect otherwise if they want.

Leadership and loyalty in the workplace died about 40 years ago --- along with pensions and company paid health care. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person will change jobs 12 times over the course of his working life with the typical job lasting just over 4 years.

In recent decades—especially in the United States—job security, retirement security, and employee loyalty have all declined dramatically. Said another way, companies have completely and utterly abandoned their employees. We are not in this together; we are in this on our own.

Would it be possible (even just theoretically) to discover fossils like this non-destructively via some form of scanning? If we would have a huge chunk of stone on a table, could we somehow tell if there is any humanoid bones in it without cutting it up?

I suspect the very low contrast between the fossil and the surrounding rock would mean that either we need a very sensitive sensor, very long exposures or likely both.

Honestly, I don't believe that statement. I think many people equate the culture war issues to the issues later in that second paragraph with the economy and climate (if they even see an issue there). If our leaders are failing at [insert culture war issue here], then that explains why they're failing at [insert economic issue here].

Hey HN!

I’m posting this because I used the Algolia search to find something similar on this topic, but couldn’t find anything. Though, that could me not searching hard enough.

As I state in the post—it may serve as a guide, but that’s not what it is intended for. What I’m hoping is for the hackers here to poke holes with this setup, either in the form of feedback or shade. I’ll try to take the latter with stride.

Your answer seems a bit vague to me, so I can't follow what your objection is.

But just to be clear, my surprise at their abilities stems from the fact that their country is so insular, tightly controlled and technologically backward* (look at a night picture of N. Korea, for instance, 80% dark, with no basic streetlighting), that it surprises me that they can allow a portion of their society to roam and participate in the internet freely without infecting the rest of their country.

The Doublethink needed to pull that off must be staggering (thank you Orwell for giving us a vocabulary to express the concepts and experience of living under totalitarianism).

> She earned a master’s in religious studies in 2017, with dreams of teaching at a college.

Why the hell would you expect to find a job in religious studies? If you're interested in that, great. Pay for that education if you can afford it. Don't borrow thousands of dollars for your indulgence and then complain that you owe money. That's how borrowing works. This has been going on for decades now. It has been a long time since getting any degree was some kind of ticket to prosperity. If it ever was.

On the other side of things, why isn't it considered class discrimination to require expensive degrees to work in jobs where high school education is sufficient?

I'm confused by your comment. First you call climate change a distraction; then you list it as something people are finally becoming aware of? The endless debates were to try and stop it. The population not being able to is just a reflection of the majority.

It's odd how people are trying to divide politics into "culture war" and real problems; it wasn't that long ago climate change was considered a culture war. Labeling something a "culture war" is just the first kneejerk reaction from the right when they appose something.
> otherwise why would they be mostly calibrated in the downwards direction? Who do you think pays for these things?

I always assumed it was because there are people born with impaired intellectual abilities, and having some measure of how impaired they are would be significant for things like edibility for benefits and management of their condition (e.g. goals for the school system).
Yeah, you have tons and tons of these. Shoestring, primeng, shadn/radix, etc. etc.
Ah, okay. My initial intent was to call out the different evidentiary standards between your own position and the opposition- it was enough for you to rule out low IQ leading to trauma by showing that childhood trauma leads to low IQ, but it was insufficient when someone pointed to evidence that genetics are the primary cause of IQ differences because it was still compatible with your position.

I was quite surprised with your response and that should have triggered a more charitable reading; I can see now that you were quite obviously not saying what I interpreted. My apologies.
Both of these are stupid but we should blame the OS/browser, there is no reason the site should be able to tell the difference or block pasting in the first place.
