free652··on Apple M2 Pro to use new 3nm process
It's behind, looks like they are comparing the high end 5900hx with the low end m1 in multi core tests.
free652··on A dad took photos of his toddler for a doctor – Google flagged him as a criminal
Nope, the final call was made by NCMEC. The article is a bad one, didn't highlight how the process works. And it's a federal law that google is obliged to follow.

free652··on A dad took photos of his toddler for a doctor – Google flagged him as a criminal
Those countries would love to blackmail you. Just encrypt your data rclone would do that.
free652··on I took a job at Amazon, only to leave after 10 months
Quants: Citadel and Jane Street.
free652··on Good and Bad Monitoring
I wish this was a standard feature. My company is really bad at alerts, I just have rules to send them to the trash. I have my own i

I am going to implement this if I ever design an alert system.

free652··on How I Found a Vulnerability to Hack iCloud Accounts and How Apple Reacted to It
I have tried using Linux for desktop and just sucks. I just need something that works and something that I need to chase a xyz problem after an each upgrade.

I still chase these issues for server dist upgrades, but at least I don't have to do for my desktop.

Dependency management utterly sucks in Linux. I can still run windows 98 binaries on win10.

free652··on WD to Settle SMR HDD False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit at $160 per Drive
So you are saying that you can tune SMR drives to behave like CMR with sysctl settings?

But QNAp / Synology won't do that? May be because WD was mixing SMR and CMR drives with the same product code, so consumers didn't know which drives they are getting in the first place and that's why the lawsuit.

free652··on Germany suspends incoming flights from Russian airlines
Russia wasn't part of the original dispute, so it's Russia poking EU and seeing if they will concede.

Can't allow bullies to bully.

free652··on Amazon refused to refund $7k after shipping an empty box instead of a Sony A1
anytime I order anything, but amazon the package takes 3 to 5 days at minimum. Amazon is 1 day most of the time.
free652··on Sublime Text 4
I used ultraedit like 15 years ago, but switched to notepad++. I think due to performance problems. I don't like sublime3, too much tinkering via a command line.
free652··on Cryptoqueen: A woman scammed the world, then vanished (2019)
Crypto are a scam these days. The contract can be changed, it isn't set in stone. Look at the Ethererum and Ethereum Classic.

While they are called crypto currencies, most of them if not all aren't used as currencies.

I just to give a hint I am involved since 2011 and just dumped all crypto. When I get crypto tips from strangers at my son's swimming team, it's about time to quit it.

free652··on Google is saving $1B per year as a result of employees working from home
You are conflating problems. Digital companies gained a lot of revenue when brick and mortar stores were closed, isnt that kinda obvious?
free652··on Mighty Makes Google Chrome Faster
What? No benchmarks? I doubt this will beat my macbook air or even T14. Also lacks access to the VPN, so not sure what's the use case.
free652··on Cuomo and Schmidt push to cap price of internet to $15 for low-income NewYorkers
$15 internet, $200 rent due to section 8.
free652··on ClickHouse as an alternative to Elasticsearch for log storage and analysis
I manage a fairly small ES cluster of 20 i3en.2xlarge instances that ingest data from 300+ apps. Yes, the only problem I see is the field type collision and it happens occasionally.

Otherwise elastic doesn't require much operational time, may be an hour a week.

You pretty much want to keep your indices around 50gb and the ILM works well to manage that.

free652··on People are leaving SF but not for Austin or Miami. USPS data shows where
Same for NYC, people are leaving Manhattan for larger places in Brooklyn, Long Island and nearby states like NJ/CT. Everybody expects a hybrid wfh model, so everyone within a communitable range of an office in NY.

My bet that FAANG will get more office space in NYC as it cheap and there is plenty of work force to get from the financial services industry.

free652··on Many use cases don’t require Kafka (2019)
Uh whoever wrote this piece should just stop writing article about tech, it's unreadable and technologically immature. I had to scroll and scroll and I lost what was the point of the article?
free652··on 2020 Saw Unprecedented Murder Spike in Major U.S. Cities
Care to prove? Here is the link to the relevant data:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

Homicide rate in EU is 1.7, US is 5.8 or 4.3 (Firearms only).

free652··on Nuclear lighthouses built by the Soviets in the Arctic [video]
Stolen most likely and abandoned when thieves got sick.

>NTV reported that eight such radiothermal generators were brought to Georgia in the early 1980s to power relay antennas during construction of the Inguri and Khudoni hydroelectric plants, and subsequently abandoned. Six of these have now been recovered by Georgian authorities.[5] Despite a search, however, Interfax reported on 24 January 2002 that Georgian police and the Georgian Environment Ministry have been unable to find the remaining two power generators.[5] According to Georgian

free652··on LA: Ambulance crews to not transport patients with little chance of survival
Liberal? Why throw politics into this? I am going to bet that conservatives are fatter on average than liberals.
free652··on 2020 had some significant silver linings
Except if you read the papers they aren't saying that. You are trying to spread BS here. We can take a look at China where the lockdown worked quiet well.

>Official data from Germany’s RKI agency suggest strongly that the spread of the coronavirus in Germany receded autonomously, before any interventions became effective

>From both sets of modelling, we found that closure of education facilities, prohibiting mass gatherings and closure of some non-essential businesses were associated with reduced incidence whereas stay at home orders and closure of all non-businesses was not associated with any independent additional impact

>Conclusions: A national lockdown has a moderate advantage in saving lives

free652··on macOS to FreeBSD migration a.k.a. why I left macOS
And in about 3 months he will switch back. At this point you can just install ChromeOS from Neverware and have better experience. You can install third party apps with flatpaks.
free652··on Someone attacked our company
If someone is going to throw 10gbit ddos at your home ip - how few firewall rules are going to help?

I am not very well versed in ddos, but that's just traffic generated from thousands of bots. Its still takes bandwidth and will literally overload your link.

I assume AWS has multiple upstream links where the traffic is coming via multiple links and its easier for them to handle than for someone with one or few upstream links.

free652··on Permanently remote workers seen doubling in 2021 due to pandemic productivity
> I can go about my business around the house and get back in minutes if someone pings me on Slack.

So your phone alerts you about every work email?

free652··on Permanently remote workers seen doubling in 2021 due to pandemic productivity
So just wrap up the day? What about if something happens when you "wrapped" your day up? Or someone got a question?

You still need to be at the computer, same as in the office.

free652··on N.H. Announces It Will Sue Massachusetts over Cross-Border Income Tax Collection
You need to pay NY taxes, you worked for NY office. If you don't want to pay NY taxes then ask Google to change your office location to NJ.

And NY will demand their taxes 100%.

free652··on N.H. Announces It Will Sue Massachusetts over Cross-Border Income Tax Collection
As long as he works for NY office he will pay NY taxes. He would need to ask Google to switch his office's location.
free652··on Ask HN: Why do people love Slack?
Teams is ok, it's just too much functionality. I have problem finding the correct chat room for the voice call right away, I always have to double check if I am in the correct chat.
free652··on People kept working, became healthier while on basic income: report
So right now she is independent, but under UBI she has to beg her family? Is that what you call a success of UBI?

That's just income redistribution from the most vulnerable, right wing would love this.

free652··on People kept working, became healthier while on basic income: report
Sane? Like a great-grandmother? Would be she insane to live in NYC where is her whole family?
