And you can get HPV from shaking hands, and you can get HIV from sharing needles or a bad blood donation, and you can get Gonorrhea and (more rarely) Syphilis from kissing also.

But these are all transmitted both sexually and non-sexually. HSV-1 and HSV-2 are only very subtly different, and both occur genitally (in Canadian provinces which studied this, more than 50% of genital HSV was attributed to HSV-1 [1])

Wikipedia considers it an STI[2], and I think the much more relevant consideration is whether it can be transmitted through sexual contact (genital-genital or oral-genital). Do you have any reason to believe a cold is transmitted through sexual contact (genital-genital or oral-genital) rather than just from kissing?

It doesn’t.

Many governments block TLS connections directly between a client and an external website. Instead, they’ll install a custom root certificate and all connections and intercept traffic, using the government root certificate for each TLS connection instead of the external website’s.

There are two problems with ethanol, one practical and one stupid.

The stupid problem is that it's taxed heavily and thus is stupidly expensive. When not taxed it is probably denatured, but denatured with what? If you know the denaturant then you can use it with some degree of confidence. Methanol (methylated spirits) is acceptable in almost any technical application but is somewhat toxic, so for stupid reasons it is now rare. Denatonium benzoate is the other common denaturant, but it can leave annoying residues behind. Pick your poison (literally).

At one point in my career we had ready access to untaxed, undenatured, 200-proof absolute ethanol. So I used it a lot! Turns out it's significantly more aggressive than isopropanol, and can strip coatings or generally even dissolve things that isopropanol cannot. I don't use ethanol any more, I have better things to do with my life than figure out what it is and isn't going to dissolve.
This definitely makes sense.

Let’s check history…

Many academics, including professors and students, endorsed Nazi ideology. For instance, in 1933, approximately 900 professors signed the “Vow of allegiance of the Professors of the German Universities and High-Schools to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialistic State,” publicly expressing their support for the Nazi government.

So yeah … intellectuals can be very very wrong.

China! THE COLONIZER!!!

America has better values than most countries. And Americans should generally trust America more than foreign countries and certainly more than the chinese government.

here are some civilian deaths within china:

- land reform killed 1-4.7 million

- campaign to suppress counterrevolutionaries killed 712k-2mm

- three-anti and five-anti campaigns killed at least 100k

- sufan movement killed ~53k

- anti-rightist campaign killed 550k-2mm

- '59 tibetan uprising killed 87k

- violence in the great chinese famine killed 2.5mm

- socialist education movement killed 77k

- guanxi massacre killed 100-150k

- inner mongolia incident killed 15-100k

- yangjiang massacre killed 3.5k

- daoxian massacre killed 9k

- ruijin massacre killed 1k

- zhao jianmin spy case killed 17k

- shadian incident killed 1.6k

- tiananmen square protests & massacre killed 200-10k

that's just a sample. this doesn't show the ongoing genocides, the economic colonization of SE asia and africa, the abuses of chinese-supported states (DPRK, burmese junta, naval intervention in libya, etc.)

objectively the American system seems to work out much better and is based on vastly superior principles.

all that aside, I am an American and place the interests of my people ahead of those of foreigners. as such, I will support a world order led by the government most likely to maximize our welfare and very nearly any means needed to preserve that.

"Jewish" describes a race (usually a cultural construct, but Jews seem quite fierce about maintaining the family ties through the millennia)

"Zionist" is the political idea that jews should go to Israel... Ok, but it is a cool place full of people already

"Political Zionism " is the odious idea that there should be a Jewish state in Israel. Odious in that it deprives others of rights based on race

> There is also a tacit discussion about Metrology that lasts on average 3 months if you are smart...

Man, EEs usually have zero clue about metrology. I worked on a big piece of T&M gear for a while. The looks I got when I said "so, we need to discuss how we plan to calibrate this thing" were... let's call them impressive. I don't think any other person on that project knew what a "traceable calibration" actually was.

It will probably not surprise you to learn that that project did not reach the finish line, at least not with my company.
YouTube often degrades the user experience when it suspects ads being blocked. I think the idea that Google would care more about following prorobuf's best practices than rejecting ad blockers is strange from a business perspective.

Cert pinning for YouTube would actually be quite easy, as Google runs its own CA. They can just hard pin their root CA and update the app in twenty years or so when that expires.

Show HN: Created a Wordle-like game but for shapes/doodles that you draw on grid
So I had this idea last week for an indie-game like wordle but for shapes that you have to guess on a grid. Like a 5*5 grid, where each line would be highlighted correct or wrong if it's not a part of the shape of the day. I tinkered around with the idea, made a prototype, and showed it some of my friends who loved it.

I launched it a couple of days ago on twitter and my IG and had over 300 individuals from over 10 countries around the world play it. I thought that I should formally launch it over here for all of you to try :)

Please check it out and let me know if you have any feedback. If you do try it, please share your results in the comments!

When you're running a proprietary video service that's supported by ads and analytics, there aren't that many "legitimate traffic inspection cases". Google prefers people not to mess with their network traffic and would also prefer it to be a bit harder to write YouTube downloader scripts.

From a user perspective, you'd want to break all TLS connections and sniff every bit of data on your network, but that's not the perspective Google has when developing their code.

Signing data is just duplicating TLS security measures with a second key. TLS already signs the data, Google just needs to verify the root of trust.

I think at this point that 90% statistic is mainly carried by HPV strains which are not protected against by the vaccine (which does protect against 9 strains). I'm not entirely sure if that number has gone down due to the vaccinations, or if the strains protected against have just become less common relative to other HPV strains
Except that Google introduced NEVER-ENDING ads in the middle of content. I was willing to watch normal-length ads at intervals. But when Google made it impossible for me to watch stuff while cooking because I have to keep herding the program along by pressing Skip every few minutes, I installed an ad-blocking client.

It's pathetic how Google pulls this douchebaggery and then whines when people fight back.

The sentiment in Romania is that we do not want a Russian puppet as president, this seems to differ in USA.

If you have a fixed IP with a good reputation then 95% of your email problems are solved. If you use a client (like the iphone email client), your setup is really simple (as in set it up once and forget about it). Providers will also try re-sending email if it doesn't reach you, so availability is not that big of a deal.

That being said, the major issue starting up is having that highly reputable ip/domain.
No, please no. Hyperlinks exist, and they work just fine. HN is one of the last few sites that doesn't glamorize the UX (nothing wrong with that). I'd rather read a thousand words than a picture.

I did tons of distro hopping a year or two ago, I landed on both Ubuntu and Fedora. One thing that I absolutely did not like about Fedora is that updates take a non-trivial time on reboot (this generally isn't a problem with Ubuntu). On the other hand, Fedora has packages newer than the last ice age. You'll probably have to use a COPR or two (the equivalent of PPAs).

Other than that, you'll just be using dnf instead of apt. Articles/answers for RHEL usually work on Fedora. You should really feel right at home.

It's also worth having a look at Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite (or universal blue, which is newer than what I've used). Installing packages at a system level is more involved (they really want you to use Flatpak and containers), but it is possible. I had a CI server spitting out my system image weekly at one point. If NixOS didn't exist I would be using this.

I don't have much respect for Ubuntu. They did a lot for bringing Linux on the desktop from zero, but I feel as though it's being held back by Ubuntu these days (especially with snaps). At least consider Debian instead.
Autodesk Nuke? That was genuinely painful to read. Setting aside the Freudian slip, you're projecting an unwarranted level of confidence, especially considering the information you're presenting is either outdated or just factually incorrect. I'm left wondering, why is that?

Vodafone's network is reported to handle around 20% of the world's traffic. It's not a random ISP. It's network does not support IPv6. It is how a big chunk of all internet users experience the internet. Claiming it doesn't matter in a discussion over IPv6 adoption rate is ludicrous.
Can you write a bit how you built it and what tech was used?
I haven't had any trouble on my dumb Chromecast so I think they must've pushed an update to fix the issue already. The only app I remember breaking was Jellyfin, ironically enough.

Security controls weren't the reason the devices broke, which is why applications that didn't care about things like DRM still played just fine. The internal CA for the Chromecast hardware certification expired, which requires updating all Chromecasts or temporarily ignoring the expiry date in client apps. It seems like apps are doing the latter while Google is figuring out how to update the Chromecast certificate infra on short notice.
When I was using Linux in 1995, installing a package meant downloading the sources and running “make install”. Have we come full circle?

There is difference, Romanian constitution and laws do not allow unfair elections and the Constitutional Court has the final say. Since the election cancelling a lot more evidence was released to the public , and the Kremlinescu guy with his fascist mercenary friends attempted a violent protest, searches were done , illegal weapons were found, illegal money and finally Kremlinescu after confronted with video evidence admitted he lied all the time when he said he does not know the fascist and mercenary who gave him cache money, cars, protection and threaten the journalist and opponents like a good fascist tradition christian does.

> The degree isn’t some unrevocable item that you own.

This is what I find so surprising. Having contractual stipulations I would need to abide by AFTER getting my degree for fear of revocation is nonsense to me, gross even. I don’t care if you’re the Unabomber. It’s silly for a university to be policing that. I guess I’m naive.

To be clear, so there’s no temptation to move the goal posts, I’m talking about a degree “already earned and received”.

I believe you are right in the direction, but wrong on the details. Yes they will now have tons of otherwise inaccessible data about how Wiz customer use GCP’s competitors (AWS/Azure), eg what workloads, how much they pay, how many EC2 / EKS / ECS / RDS / S3 / SageMaker are actually used and how much they pay. This is by itself highly valuable financial information, that any company would love to have about their direct competition.

I highly doubt Google or Wiz have a legal avenue that allows them to use customer data beyond fulfilling their product needs.
Products like Wiz (voluntarily) go through security audits and certifications, from SOC2 type 2 to FedRamp. Also enterprise customers actually do read T&C (their legal team does at least) and having terms and conditions that allow you to train models on customer data without their consent is not going to fly under the radar for long.

> Even people who are being honest might not count e.g. oral herpes as an STI if they contracted it in a non-sexual way.

That's pretty much my point, self-reporting with vague questions leads to bad data. HSV-1 can be transmitted orally to genitally however, and genital HSV-1 is now more common in many places than genital HSV-1 [1] (likely from oral-to-genital transmission since HSV-1 is less active genitally, and barriers are far less commonly used orally than with PiV intercourse)

From [1]: "In studies conducted in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, cultures performed on samples taken from lesions of genital herpes indicated that more than 50% of infections were due to HSV-1"

> .. As opposed to what?

As opposed to... not having had sexual intercourse?
