The HN title is the title of the linked SE post (with a prefix stripped).

The drive is the issue, linux just happens to a better job of using other resources to improve HDD performance. Said linux installation would still be much faster/more responsive on an SSD. For the prices that Apple charges for their computers they should include a low-tier SSD at the very least.

I have no idea then, it's worked for me in the past - Plaid asks me to give them the 2FA auth code I receive via text.

As far as I can tell those are all events that were taking place in the real world and were also organized on/protested on Twitter - rather than Twitter being the cause and/or sole location of them.

Whether or not FB meddling influenced the result of the US election is questionably uncertain at best, and regardless Russia isn't an internet mob.

> But in these times people or rather mobs have got that power - for better or worse.

Is this really true? It seems like social media has a relatively limited impact on companies/countries on any scale longer than a week. Most social media outrage seems to just result in an apology by the company and perhaps some weak action, and everybody forgets about it a few days later.

Remember when the whole internet collectively tried to stop the FCC from repealing net neutrality? Or Article 13? Or the constant complaints about demonetization of content on YouTube? Internet mobs never seem to get anything meaningful done.

Are you trying to use a business account or something? Otherwise I have no clue.

Lying typically refers to intentional deceit (as in you know what you are saying is false, or at the very least you don't care if what you say is true or not), so you can not be unaware you are lying.

Traditional view: Jobs with a high amount of physical labor are low skill, so people with more skills (i.e. intelligence) have jobs with less physical labor.

Your parent's opinion: This view is incorrect, people with higher social status, not higher intelligence, receive jobs with less physical labor.

What type of 2FA are you using? I have the default (SMS based) and it works for me.

Do you know where I can watch the status on that?

> does not work if you have 2FA enabled

Plaid definitely works with BoA + 2FA, at least as of about a month ago when I had to use it.

Trying to teach the science behind vaccines, climate change, HIV/AIDS, or any other common denial topic is a losing battle. There will always be a new conspiracy theory to believe in. Knock one common denial argument down and 10 spring up to take its place.

We actually need to focus on teaching trust in scientists and the scientific method. You can't reasonably expect people to understand all these complex modern innovations and concepts to the level where they can easily identify hoaxes. You can expect people to realize who the experts in each field are and find the consensus among their opinions.

The "fancy update policy" being 'latest FF stable uses latest rust stable', which seems like a pretty reasonable policy to me.

In the US many (most?) prominent members of the Republican Party (our right wing/conservative political party) deny the existence of global warming/climate change.

There is an "approved" method - write an publish your own kernel module. However if your module is not GPL licensed it cannot be published in the linux kernel itself, and you must keep up with the maintenance of the code. This is a relatively fair requirement imo.

Maybe you missed this line from the article:

Who is "we" in this context? Is there a community of anti-cheat reverse engineers out there?

ZZ exits vi(m) though?

I'm not even sure if the linux version of FF has an auto-updater. And even if it does every distro I've ever used (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and currently Arch Linux) must disable it, because I've never had FF try to auto update on linux.

There's a flag mentioned in that issue you can pass to the installer to disable that behavior.

Also, are there seriously people running FF with updates disabled? I personally see almost no scenario under which I'd ever not want to update.

The title seems to be intentionally misleading, the words "no evidence" are presented as if they are a quote from the paper, while in reality the phrase "no evidence" appears zero times in it.

Ignore the headline, read the abstract and if you have time the paper. It's much more interesting and accurately/fairly describes the data collected.

You'd probably be most successful modifying the original repo - either by being the creator of the software or gaining their trust. However, it would have to be a rather powerful SHA1 attack for the commit to still be valid syntax, hard to detect, and make a meaningful malicious change.

Merge conflicts are a part of any VCS that allows two people to edit the same file at the same time.

I find it ironic that in the same post the author complains about a git monopoly ("Git effectively has a global monopoly on DVCSes") while wishing the same thing for fossil ("Fossil's world domination will not come from...").

Whoever answers the phone is likely not going to know or care about how the business advertises.

Like seriously, do you expect an employee to go "oh I don't know of any signs we advertise on, so I guess we can't buy your house"? Even if they know for a fact that the company doesn't have any sign-based advertising they're still not going to turn away the customer.

I (and I'm sure many others) would gladly take an option to provide a whitelist of acceptable licenses.

When they say Chime is a Go editor they don't mean it is written _in_ Go (although it could be), but that it is written _for editing_ Go.

Paying to license what? I'm not aware of any other kernel suitable for mobile phone use you could buy with a license (i.e. iOS doesn't count as there's no way you're getting Apple to sell you even a license)

I don't see why it would be, as long as you're just sending one real job application. If you tried to DOS a company by sending in a ton of garbage applications that'd probably be illegal.

That said I wouldn't be surprised if you get declined if the company realizes you did so.
