it's complicated. obviously, specific instances like yours happen, and suck. But, there's a well known effect seen on HN: people tend to give partial, and usually one sided summaries of what went on. we've seen this repeatedl

Thank you for reminding me about risks of cloud key storage. I think I better go wipe my .ssh/ states and re-work things to a modern keypair. I think ed25519 would be both shorter sigs in authorised_keys and definitely NOT what I used

Yes. Senior Citizens. Home users. Legacy backup is there, but MS both de-preference it, and use dark pattern labels on boxes to make it hard to stop one drive from nagging you about what MS want you to do. And, if you did do a network attac

I work with seniors, who use W11. Aspects of change from W10 confused them, but their primary requests are two quite different things 1) please stop making dark patterns preference onedrive backup and let us run a local file backup cleanly

It's interesting that a device based on specifically constructed weights, at a scale to fit in a lab bench experiment (or at least a room) were capable of providing this much accuracy compared to a field experiment which used significa

One of his electro-mechanical units was on display in Victoria, Australia. Most amazing assemblage, you can sort-of get the idea from things. I read online that at his end, Baird was proposing a TV scan-rate we'd class as HD quality, w

Something which still confuses me is the nature of the illuminations in the roadway. Because we can see edge elements, we see things on stalks. I don't see how that can work, for things the tires run over. But, the illuminations are th

The source has one interest only: encouraging stock picks. It's selling advice, or improving its brand positioning by giving it away as a taster and so this topic has interest to the core market as input to Intel, TSMC or related party

This seems to show three distinct patterns of consequences. Not that it invalidates the findings but it's certainly not expressed as one modality of outcome over time.

if you were talking about erasure in classic film, and not the constraints of non-linear editable data streams (I and P blocks, you-name-it), how much of this would remain true? Yes, its a temporal-spatial space. But, it consists of a seque

I'd be surprised if they cannot provide services which translate to outcomes successive governments want. So in that sense, "has no place" is about alignment to goals, as much as desires. Palantir is able to do things which t

This is certainly not a given. However, absent a significant market leading aspect it comes down to value for money. FSD isn't yet a strong discriminatory quality, as much as a revenue model for something which is still contentious. Te

That's a pretty one eyed take on the uncertainties of marine population dynamics. The reasons for thinking shark populations are in decline are pretty solid: overfishing is a worldwide problem. Bullshark activity is pretty closely tied
