You misinterpreted Democrats and progressives, most Democrats, minorities and liberals are closer to the center left rather than extreme left. Polling from many reliable places, including pew, shows Progressive ideology is dominated by upper class white people.

Why do you think stripping resources from the police was so popular amongst upper class intectuals but not what black Americans actually wanted according to the actual data. Progressivism in America is an ideology that represents the upper class, not minorities nor traditional liberals nor the working class.
I think we have the same understanding. I read this as

“a state actor has the physical capabilities/resources to perform an attack that determines Alice was speaking to Bob.”

I totally agree. Im just pointing out that we still have layer 5 encryption to protect the contents of our messages. Also at that point, if you’re so important they would just grab a warrant and raid your home.

Airline fares are regulated by the FAA and the DOT to disallow deceptive business practices and require minimum service levels: https://www.transportation.gov/individuals/aviation-consumer...

Similarly, the FCC net neutrality rules allow telcos to charge any price for the service while disallowing blocking or throttling particular Internet sites or protocols. If such rules weren't indeed necessary, big telcos wouldn't be spending their money campaigning against them, would they?

I run an N100 with LXD so I have a container running one of the many ssh tar pits and point 22 and a bunch other ports to it. It simulates an ssh login that very slowly sends ssh banner lines in the connection protocol, endlessly, until they disconnect.

It commonly thought that they do nothing, but they seem to keep TCP connections open for quite a long time. A assume a hand written scanning client could detect and mitigate the delay but it's going to hold open the sessions on the firewall exit on the other side. If there are enough of these maybe someone might do something.

Makes me smile when I look at the logs, that's enough for me.

It's been covered quite a bit here on HN.

I see no reason to think this is the case. Time had a reasonable article with some relevant back history here. [1] But beyond this I'd also add that I think colonialism has been an abject failure. It's been a story of small-short term gains for massive long-term losses, the MBA mindset of geopolitics. As soon as colonies start to become successful, they seek their independence. So you just end up with expensive adversarial relationships with anything resembling successful colonies, while getting bankrupted by your unsuccessful colonies. Basically - the story of the rise and fall of the British Empire. It's not something anybody is looking to recreate.

To clarify further, interpretation of what it means to to be a right of people vs a limit on Congress; FEC v. Massachusetts Citizens for Life is one of many examples where we have to assume SCOTUS interpreted that it's a right of people as there was no congressional action for them to limit in that case. They are clearly protecting people.

These cases go back and forth.

I would argue that it wasn't necessary to spell out that constitutional rights apply to citizens because the law is presumed to defer to common practice in cases where no law exists. That is, laws go back to long before the Constitution and those laws are referred to as common law.

In that sense; the king has lordship of his subjects, and no obligation to subjects of other kingdoms. He collected taxes, and provided protection from foreign threat and justice for his subjects.

Likewise, citizens of China don't pay taxes to the US, they have not that obligation because they are not subjects of the US government. Neither do they have the rights that are afforded a subject thereof.

Congress has no need to clarify that. It's presumed to be the case. That they mention it in certain amendments is incidental, despite the creative interpretations I've read, mostly from immigration proponents. (Not that I'm opposed, I'm an immigrant.)

No doubt, lots of people prefer to interpret this differently, especially when it's a right they need for a specific reason. That's exactly what China is doing here.

They are arguing about why the law should be interpreted in their favor this time. And next time they will argue the other way, as they do against their subjects.

It's up to the judge what it means in each case, but as a generally accepted interpretation, applying US law and protections to a foreign nation without some kind of formal alliance specifying more directly what is provided, is an egregious stretch of the imagination. It's ridicule, at best.
I did do a chargeback, because after 2 months of contacting the booking agent requesting a refund, I got nothing.

But the flight was canceled with less than 24 hours notice, so there were also statutory damages of €600/person (EU law), which in my case only covered the cost of my ongoing flight (booked separately, but same airline). It took two years to have the statutory damages rewarded, and after the legal fees didn't even cover the cost of the missed flight.

Companies should actually follow the law without having to be sued. Having to sue companies by default to get them to follow the law isn't a fundamental property of the rule of law. There's even a whole industry just created to enforce airline claims, because the companies ignore them with such impunity.
So, he disassembled the screen and made it 50% useful?
There is the possibility for there to be a non standard valuation. A few decades where neither the US or another currency is dominant. Personally I still see the US dollar as having a lot of strength but that can change surprisingly quickly once the flip happens.

I'm not worried about that at the moment but I have said, once the US dollar is no longer accepted at a random Thai street market that is when the US dollar is done.

Show HN: Scenestamps – A website for sharing movie scenes with timestamps
Hello hackers,

I've launched a website specifically for sharing scenes, complete with descriptions and timestamps from various films and TV shows. I'm reaching out to gather your perspectives and recommendations in these domains to improve the site and extend my outreach.

Link : https://scenestamps.com

You are not required to register/login to browse the site.

Scenestamps Features:

1. Search : You can directly search for a scene or a source.

2. Upload Posts :
You can register with your google account, login and start posting right away. Unlike other sites in this specific domain, users are allowed to upload posts.

There are two types of posts
- scene
- source

Source is a movie,tv show, documentary, etc...
One source can have multiple scenes

While creating a scene post, source can be selected there.

Scene post will have the timestamp fields.
There are two types of it:
- single - one input field of timestamp in which the scene happens.
- from-to - two input fields, from and to within which the scene takes place.

3. Share posts : Share feature is available on both source and scene posts, with which you can share the post to your favorite social media platforms

4. Tagging system : You can add tag to the scene posts. You can also get all the scenes that has that tag name by clicking on it.

I think people wanting to create scenes is quite a small audience, but I want to make this the best it can possibly be so please post any problems or suggestions in the replies or at reddit.com/scenestamps.com or message me x.com/gjpx_ if you prefer.
The title 'Solutions Architect' and 'Architect' can often be used interchangeably in the tech industry, but there can be subtle differences depending on the company and its structure. Generally speaking, a 'Solutions Architect' often implies a role that is more focused on designing specific solutions for specific business problems, often working closely with clients or stakeholders. An 'Architect', on the other hand, may have a more overarching role, looking at system design and architecture at a higher level, and may not be as tied to specific solutions.

As for which is more robust or higher-paying, that can depend greatly on the specific job, the company, the industry, and the geographical location. It's also important to note that job titles can sometimes be misleading, and the actual responsibilities and compensation can vary greatly. Therefore, it's always a good idea to look at the job description and responsibilities, and to ask about compensation during the interview process. Also, websites like Glassdoor or Payscale can provide some insight into average salaries for these roles in different locations and industries.

I find these constant posts and news articles about new records to be tiring. I think they train people to become normalized to news about record breaking metrics and don’t make it as clear what the implications are.

I have been working on a Python CLI tool after Andrej Karpathy posted this tweet. And finally, it’s complete!

https://github.com/rajtilakjee/simone

This tool utilizes OpenCV, Tesseract OCR, and Google Gemma 7B model to convert your videos into a blog post. It also creates 3 screenshots from the videos which are most important to understand the blog post.

I have made this tool free and open-source for 2 reasons:

- I want everyone to be able to use it without having to worry about spending money
- In the hope that someone would notice this and hire me (well, I have my own selfish reasons)

So let me know what you think of this tool. Here are some important links:

Wish me luck!
Indeed! Trust is a precious good in society and economy.

In Dec 1960 we "decentralised communication", now called The Internet. Bittorrent decentralised broadcasting, leading to streaming revolution. Bitcoin pioneered decentralised money.

At Delft University I've worked for 25 years to decentralised trust, democracy, and economic cooperation in general. As an academic this focus on running code and societal change obviously kills you career protects. See my writing from prior century on "Open Information Pools" (pre-wikipedia era) [0]. Essentially what others called the Global Brain.

We deployed a decentralised trust algorithm based on the interaction graph to 94k people, see [1]. Theoretical foundations are based on proving that the Harvard impossibility result against Sybil attacks made too strict assumptions, [2]. Leading to trust scores with resilience against fake identities: MeritRank [3]. This is being released in first version in this Tribler version. So hopefully this trust framework will help stop spammers a bit.
We now pioneered "Decentralised AI", that critically relies on such a trust framework to function in a trustworthy manner [4].

The Babylon Bee has got to be the most braindead thing I’ve stumbled upon in a long time.

I downvoted because:

1. Babylon Bee has like 1 good article for every 20-30 lame ones and in general spreads anti-trans hate. It is not news

You're never quite sure what you're actually looking at on the web.

Was this edited at any point after the listed publish date? Did it survive intact during the backend migrations since? Is that formatting supposed to be a bit weird? Is there originally supposed to be an image after that oddly placed paragraph break?

What did it look like back when `<blink>` and `<marquee>` were still a thing? Did it look better at 800x600? Did it show the same page to all user-agents?

Hard copies, physical reality (or at least rasters), are still the ultimate form of immutability.
I had good memories of DR-DOS 5
For DOS, I believe the core was only ever Microsoft or IBM. Some DOS versions bundled add-ons by third parties, but they are hardly essential for operation - e.g. MS-DOS 6 included DEFRAG and MSBACKUP (both licensed from Symantec) and MSAV (licensed from Central Point Software)

Similarly, with Windows, the third-party components are generally inessentials such as certain device drivers, games, some optional system components like the ZIP file support in Windows Explorer-you would still have a usable OS with these bits ripped out. Parts of NTVDM are third-party licensed, although I believe that’s mainly the software CPU emulator used on RISC platforms, I think x86 was mostly Microsoft’s own code

Hey kirso,

I completely understand where you're coming from. Programming as a hobby doesn't mean you can't improve your skills or create something valuable. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

1. Project-Based Learning: Choose a problem you want to solve and build a project around it. This approach can help you learn in a hands-on way and see direct results.

2. Programming Challenges and Competitions: Websites like LeetCode, HackerRank, or CodeSignal offer a wealth of programming challenges that can help you improve your skills and keep your learning fun and engaging.

3. Online Courses and Tutorials: Websites like Coursera, edX, or freeCodeCamp offer numerous courses on different aspects of programming. You can learn at your own pace and choose topics that interest you.

4. Open Source Contributions: Contributing to open source projects can be a great way to learn from others and improve your skills. You can start by fixing bugs, adding small features, or improving documentation.

5. Networking: Join programming communities online or locally. This can provide you with a wealth of resources, advice, and potential collaboration opportunities.

Remember, the key is to enjoy the process. Happy coding!
It's not illegal to try to log in to an ssh server. Or many. Apart from that I think the map from the article is mostly matching the number of internet-connected devices per country/region. So I think you can replace "some" by "almost all" in your statement. I mean, find a vulnerable iot device, use it for scanning/botnet.

Going back to Windows XP is wild. Just how clean and pure it is. Clean boot and fire up the network connection. It check for an update... and that is it. Nothing more. My last daily driver Windows was 7 in about 2009 and now my only hands on experience with it is via work.

I run Triquel one of the few FSF approved linux distro's and it still has that kind of vibe but its hardware limitations basically eliminate most people from using a system like that. But that is another side of the same issue of monetisation.
Those are not investments because you do it out of obligation and necessity.

You are not allowed to work if you don’t have a bank account.

And also you loose value from these. Cash loose value thanks to inflation money spent on nsa.
Banks not only dont pay you for the money you have in the bank but also charge you a lot for a digital transaction they spy and use.

> I wonder how the taxes and fees refund works. Fees I can see airlines trying to say “we already paid these”, but taxes are only charged on services rendered, no? Is there a situation where the airlines have already paid sales tax to the local authority and don’t get a refund for canceled service?

Whether or not the taxes or fees are eligible for a refund to the airline (or don't have to be paid; payment of those will often be delayed) depends on the specific law applicable to each tax or fee, but with the new rule, that's the airline’s issue—they have to refund it to the customer whether or not the airline is still on the hook for it.
Yeah totally agree. I think it's great there is an organization that works on establishing standards but paywalling them definitely adds lots of frictions. In an ideal world the org would be fully financed by its members/governments so the standards can freely proliferate. Guess the only ones paying are big corporations who can then claim to be in accordance with a standard.

Hey macterminalnewb,

It's great to see your interest in learning to use the terminal. It's a powerful tool that can significantly improve your efficiency once you get the hang of it. Here are a few resources that you might find useful:

1. Codecademy's Learn the Command Line Course: It's an interactive course that covers the basics of command-line interfaces (CLI). It's beginner-friendly and allows you to practice as you learn.

2. Learn Enough Command Line to Be Dangerous: This is a part of the 'Learn Enough to Be Dangerous' series by Michael Hartl. It's a great resource for beginners and covers the basics and beyond.

3. OverTheWire's Bandit Wargame: This is a fun and engaging way to learn terminal commands. It's a series of capture-the-flag style challenges where you use terminal commands to solve puzzles.

4. man pages: Don't forget about the built-in manual pages in the terminal. You can access them by typing 'man' followed by the command you want to learn about. They can be a bit hard to read at first, but they're incredibly detailed and useful once you get used to them.

5. Practice: The best way to get comfortable with the terminal is to use it regularly. Try to incorporate it into your daily workflow as much as possible. Even simple tasks like navigating directories or managing files can be good practice.

Remember, like any other skill, it takes time and practice to become proficient at using the terminal. Don't get discouraged if it feels overwhelming at first. Stick with it, and you'll get there.

Both in Palermo and in Naples, the business activities of the mafia can be categorized as extremely short-sighted profit squeezing, which I suppose is all you might expect from organizations operating mostly outside the law but with a firm grip on their respective societies (a bit like Google/Meta/Tesla I suppose).
Seems that the title of the article has it backwards. From the original paper [1]:

"mitochondrial divergence values between H. diadema samples from the Solomon Islands and New Guinea were greater than any observed divergence values between H. diadema and H. dinops samples from within the Solomon Islands"

The paper describes an example of parallel evolution. There is one species of smaller bats (H.dinops) and then on different islands larger ones evolved from it independently. The bigger bats have all been called H. diadema as they look very similar. So the situation is more like "same size, different species" than what the title suggests.

Then say that to make your case. Infantilizing the argument to matrix multiplication only makes it look silly and unconstructive.

Social media is a bunch of registers being added to, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have insanely impactful effects to the real world.
This wasn't prostitution on trial, it was a bunch of pimps and human traffickers. Just because they "are just an app" doesn't change the nature of their crime.

Not sure what your comment HIV has to do with anything either when it comes to that case.
End of the day, for shareholders this is what matters. Not what products were killed, how many people were laid off, what ethical dilemmas employees face etc. are a distraction for them. This is what it has to come down to. It's not wrong.

The high level API shouldn’t care about state. In other words, your “readers” should merely aggregate state and your “writers” should only care about subsets of state.

Think about file permissions in Linux. Running ls just shows you gross file perms (current user, group, and global) but you can also grant access to other individual users, or even make a file immutable that still shows up as writable to ls. The high level api doesn’t know or care about the low level state except where it is relevant.
You'll find no argument from me on any of your points.

But I think it is often counterproductive when evangelizing a concept or explaining something to software developers.

Erm, because he wanted to use SSH?

Using firewall rules on the hosts is like a fake firewall. Stuff on the hosts can override those rules. Like docker. After all, the host is actually receiving the traffic.

A router isn't a firewall. Lesson learnt: don't assume any "router" device is also a firewall. Last I heard about half of ISP issued routers don't run any kind of stateful firewall for IPv6. The only reason they do for IPv4 is NAT.
