towergratis··on Flipped an element in an old lens and got 'magic' bokeh (2018)
Magic bokeh? No offense, but it's horrible and nothing magic about it.
towergratis··on Google AI leader has defected to Apple
> his farewell email did not mention that at all, and AFAIK he hasn't made any public statement indicating that that was the reason he left.

Why burn bridges?

It's in the same price bucket. If in your opinion is not a premium sedan, it's all more impressive.

This is not a scientific paper. Sometimes sharing your experience/opinion for a place you grew up and lived your whole life, is ok too
towergratis··on Facebook deliberately made people sad. This ought to be the final straw (2012)
It does affect you. Because you get the feeling you are "part" of the community.

I used to be very active in HN until I got into a heated discussion with someone and since then my HN "flag" privileges were stripped away.

I know I shouldn't care, but I couldn't help it. Now I am just lurking on HN and rarely reply with this new account using TOR and care as little about "karma" as I do about "producing value" with my replies to HN.

Huh. They sound like a trapped animal attacking the person that is trying to help.
towergratis··on Private Home Directories for Ubuntu 21.04
All I am saying is that security is like onion layers, and unix permissions are the last layer probably. If the attacker penetrated through all the other layers, chances are that unix permissions will not save you.
towergratis··on Private Home Directories for Ubuntu 21.04
> This change now means that in the future if an attacker were to exploit some previously unknown vulnerability in a given system service that is running as a separate user, they would then not be able to access the data of any other user (both human or system service) on the system.

If the attacker can already access arbitrary files on your box, I don't think simple unix permissions will save you

Lookup Copy-On-Write. ZFS and BtrFS do it.
towergratis··on The WHO-China search for the origins of the coronavirus
> I used to think the lab accident theory was crazy

Accidents happen. Even if it was a lab accident, it's not a reason to be outraged with the Chinese government.

I think in parallel to searching for the origin, they should also look into the reports that Chinese government tried to hid it under the carpet and only admitting that it couldn't control it after it was already spread all over the world.

That's the real crime of the Chinese government in regards to Covid and that's what people should be outraged about.

But yeah, good luck getting an unbiased report on that.
