Believe it or not, there's some of us who believe in privacy. There's many that believe in encryption, and believe in transparency, and believe in systems and network security.

'Honest' in what regard? That security and encryption can't be attained to value people's privacy?

Let's not take away from the fact that things like Wikipedia are blocking entire countries (UK) to its services.

When deleting/blocking the forum becomes easier than compliance or risking fines/being punished, they will _delete the forum_

You did not answer the question. You repeatedly dodged it while blaming your "wording" (?) on your failure to answer it. It's right there for all of us to see.

Now despite your previous admission, you are here telling me that you did answer it and I just didn't like the answer. The question has revealed more about you and your motives than we could have ever imagined.

HN userbase is not representative of the large majority of the users of a service.

Most of are fully capable of using a password manager, some even self-hosted that we expose via Tailscale, but for a lot of users, they are using a service to get things done and authentication is a necessary hurdle.

Sign in with Google/Apple/Github solves that.

Please:

"In Hobbes’ view, the sovereign had a crucial role in overseeing religious matters. This included the power to appoint religious leaders, regulate religious practices, and ensure that religious teachings were in line with the laws of the state. By doing so, the sovereign could maintain control over potential sources of dissent and prevent religious conflicts from arising."

Same goes with restriction of free speech by the sovereign. I understand that you could say that it's fine and so on, but is clearly a slippery slope.

I feel it's not going to last longer. With the advent of modern, mass media, young people across the West can see for themselves and they're taking a side. More specifically, they don't want their governments funding genocide with their taxes. This cannot be made to go away, which is why Zionist activists and their lackeys are pulling out all the stops: no one expected the outburst of disgust at Israel's actions would get this severe, so they're in nonstop damage control mode.

Totally fair, and for a single cert or a tightly controlled setup, a calendar reminder might be “enough.”

But in practice, it tends to break down when:

- Certificates multiply across internal services, vendors, CDNs, load balancers, staging/prod, and even IoT or embedded devices.

Ownership is unclear, people leave, and calendar invites don’t update themselves.

No visibility, unless someone’s checking regularly, you won’t know if a cert was rotated early, replaced with a shorter one, or removed entirely.

No alerting or state tracking, a calendar doesn’t notify you if someone messed up the renewal or if the cert is already expired.

No integration with the rest of your monitoring/incident tooling.

SSL Guardian gives you a real-time dashboard of every cert, expiration tracking, and actual notifications, so you’re not relying on tribal knowledge, calendar hygiene, or someone noticing too late.

We’re not trying to over-engineer a reminder, we’re replacing a fragile human process with something that scales across orgs and environments.

Dont ask me more how I know that a calendar doesn't work lol!

As someone who went to US high school in the 90s, a good 1/3 of our curriculum seemed to be "never again" studies of the holocaust and other genocides throughout history. Which makes it completely incomprehensible to me that suddenly "don't talk about genocide" has become the basically law.

What's worse is I actually feel openly saying "I don't support this genocide and I'm critical of the state committing it" is a risky thing to say in public. I wouldn't say it not behind a pseudonymous account without some level of plausible deniability. Even peak cancel culture wasn't quite so chilling.

It's also the area with the most clear manipulation of information on social media. The downvotes and flagged comments in this post are clearly not "organic", and the same pattern can be seen all over the web.

We've truly entered a dystopian age that seems completely unfamiliar from the exciting world of tech I wanted to be a part of decades ago.

If we had faked the moon landings, then the Soviets would have been the first to let the world know - and brought the evidence. Instead, they congratulated the Americans - at the height of the Cold War.

Oh, and it wasn't just one moon landing, there were six. And the thing the deniers can never explain: the lunar retroflectors left by Apollo 14 and Apollo 15 used by observatories the world over.

"Gaza Humanitarian Foundation chair Johnnie Moore accuses UN of 'playing politics' with Gazan lives, defends IDF and denies claims of mass casualties near aid sites, saying more people harmed in 24 hours of UN efforts than during weeks of GHF operations"

He also discusses the specific individual here: "How do you respond to the claim from a former special forces operative who worked with your foundation, alleging that IDF troops shot and massacred Gazans coming to the aid centers?

“That’s a personal matter, and I’m limited in what I can say. This is not a credible individual, and these are not credible accusations. I’m more than confident we have a great deal of evidence to refute them.”"

"7/15/25 – The 4th Estate Sale: How American and European Media Became an Uncritical Mouthpiece for a Designated Foreign Terror Organization"

The report is from:

Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI)

Rutgers University Social Perception Lab

Headlines of key findings:

- Mainstream media spread hostile, and often unverified, narratives delegitimizing U.S.-backed humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza.

- Major media headlines cited Hamas-linked officials more than any other source – making a foreign terrorist organization one of the leading voices shaping news about GHF

- Unverified headlines triggered viral, conspiratorial social media posts, often amplified by foreign state media.

- GHF-related media coverage undermined trust in America while shielding Hamas-linked actors by inducing bias.

- Narrative backlash closely tracked U.S. operational success on the ground.

- The GHF’s competitors amplified Hamas-sourced claims to undermine U.S.-led aid efforts.

- False Gaza Atrocity Narratives Trigger Left-Wing Violence and Right-Wing Amplification.

"NCRI assesses that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was not merely the subject of criticism, but the target of a convergent narrative attack in which American and European media acted as a de facto mouthpiece for a foreign terrorist organization. This environment systematically elevated Hamas-linked claims, which were often unverified, uncontextualized, or outright false. Major headlines were repeatedly exaggerated or framed to imply atrocity, often without source transparency or sufficient evidentiary scrutiny."

Medical research and consent doesn't work like this. If you track your patients without their consent, or you share their data without their explicit consent, you'll land in very hot water, which will cook you even before you can scream.

Similarly, a medical trial will take a very detailed consent before you can start.

Your opt-out telemetry is akin to your insurance sending you powered and Bluetooth enabled toothbrushes out of the blue to track you and threaten to cancel your insurance if you don't use that toothbrush and send data to them.

Or as a more extreme example, going through an important procedure not with the known and proven method but with an experimental one, because you didn't opt-out and nobody bothered to tell you this. In reality, you need to sign consent and waiver forms to accept experimental methods.

The number of combinations is irrelevant if you're not relying on randomness. Graphene sets the tag to a static value on deallocation[0] to prevent use-after-free, you don't even need to guess! The same is true for a lot of buffer overflows, as their allocator ensures two adjacent allocations have different tags, so unless the vuln allows you to skip ahead you'll always trigger a fault.

"Should" meaning "would if it were mature and healthy"

> "humans have two biological sexes" is true in same way as the claim "humans have five fingers."

No. There are no intermediates. Nobody produces "spergs" or "speggs". Someone may produce no gametes because they're not yet mature or because of a developmental disorder, but that just means that they will later on in life, or won't produce the gametes their body is set up to produce.

> The only reason

Bullshit. I bring this up because it's a fundamental fact of biology and HN should know better than to push pseudoscience. Sex in humans is binary and immutable, but that doesn't mean boys can't play with dolls and girls can't like trucks or whatever dumb culture war stuff is raging.

> The Commission answers to nobody and the Parliament can't tell it what to do, just rubberstamp what it produces.

That's not true. First of all, amendments can be introduced by both the parliaments and council so it's not rubber-stamping. But more importantly they have the right to censure the commission (Article 17(8) TEU and in Article 234 TFEU) and thus force it to resign.

> If I use claude code & claude its over in about 30 minutes.

Can you share what you're doing? I've been experimenting with Claude Code and I feel like I have to be doing a lot with it before I even start seeing the usage warning limits on the $20/month plan.

When I see people claiming they're getting rate limited after 30 minutes on the $100/month plan I have a hard time understanding what they're doing so different.

For what it's worth I don't use it every day, so maybe there's a separate rate that applies to heavy and frequent users?

I used SQLx with an SQLite database and ran into connection pool problems that would cause the database to be unexpectedly dropped.

The issues I saw seem to be related to these issues:

https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues/3080

https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues/2510

The problems did not manifest until the application was under load with multiple concurrent sessions.

Troubleshooting the issue by changing the connection pool parameters did not seem to help.

I ended up refactoring the application's data layer to use a NoSQL approach to work around the issue.

I really like the idea of SQLx and appreciate the efforts of the SQLx developers, but I would advise caution if you plan to use SQLx with SQLite.

I think there's a lot of room for even better UI.

I'd love to have something that operates more at the codebase level. Autocomplete is very local.

(Maybe "tab completion" when setting up a new package in a monorepo? Or make architectural patterns consistent across a whole project? Highlight areas in the codebase where the tests are weak? Or collect on the fly a full view of a path from FE to BE to DB?)

It seemed like you were saying that those in power have a vested interest in solving this social problem because they have more to lose because they have more skin in the game. They actually have almost no exposure to this failure mode because they have lawyers and accountants. They have entire family office services. They don’t suffer due to identity theft even when it happens. Failure isn’t an option or even a distinct possibility, because losses due to identity theft have already been priced into their exposure to liquid markets, and they’re insured for illiquid assets.

It’s not the same for the little people. That was my point.

Steam as a platform accounts for about $5bn. A good chunk of it is Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite. Then a handful of really big hitters like GTA and CoD. Excluding those enormous titles, the games industry is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Which is to say, the big fish are the ones with the most influence and least likely to be affected by this.

very cool. reminds me of an old iPhone clock app called "hms" that displayed a rectangular prism, and each dimension (x, y, z) corresponded with the hour, minute and second, so the shape would grow over time before resetting one or more dimensions. it got delisted years ago for some reason but i used to love it as a "nightstand mode" clock.

It's not supposed to make sense: lobbyists paid your politicians and now, you have to support Israel, or else...

There's nothing more to it. Israel knows that with access to Western weapons, it will reliably win every confrontation with the Palestinians, just like in Rhodesia or Apartheid South Africa. The only thing that did both regimes in was sanctions, or boycotts. I believe they literally studied these nations. So, they want to preempt any attempt at boycotting Israel, because it's the only way they'd ever face reckoning for all the unspeakable atrocities they've committed against the palestinians.

>Fundamentally, it's a failure of government. The people / companies involved made it really clear that they don't want to be making the rules. But governments haven't, so they're the last ones left standing because someone must determine what is permissible.

Politicians fallacy. Something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do it. It completely glazes over the fact that it's an equally valid course of action to not do something.

It’s a press release for a patent with a lot of “robot arm could…” and “once $THING_THAT_HASNT_HAPPENED happens…”, and the topper:

“Before the robot can be deployed on farms, the computer vision and positioning technologies that would let it find and reach for berries on the plant still need to be developed.”

Keep your long sleeved shirts and overalls handy, because robots are not going to pick your blackberries for you anytime soon.

But it will be cool when they pull it off. I was just pondering the automation of blackberry picking, as they are starting to come on in the PNW, and I tire of getting scratched up.

»Venerable Linux distribution Debian is side-stepping the Y2K38 bug – also known as the Unix Epochalypse – by switching to 64-bit time for everything but the oldest of supported hardware, starting with the upcoming Debian 13 "Trixie" release.«

That's inaccurate. We actually switched over all 32-bit ports except i386 because we wanted to keep compatibility for this architecture with existing binaries.

All other 32-bit ports use time64_t, even m68k ;-). I did the switch for m68k, powerpc, sh4 and partially hppa.

"You're absolutely right!" i misread the announcement - thought everyone moved to primarily a weekly window but seems like 5hr window still in place and they're putting in place another granularity level control that DS teams will adjust to cutoff mostly bad actors.

correct me if I'm wrong, it's not like we have visibility into the token limit logic, even on the 5hr window?

I think it presents a conflict of interest. Considering we're talking about system security, it's best to not leave this up to the ethics of just one team.

Also: a lot of development teams in security-oriented fields are doing a lot of self-investigation and improvement anyway. Red Teams still have value, and prove that time and again, in spite of that.

IMO, having another team attack your stuff also creates "real" stakes for failure that feel closer to reality than some existential hacker threat. I think just the presence of a looming "Red Team Exercise" creates a stronger motivation to do a better job when building IT systems.

I've been using sqlx with postgres for several months now on a production server with decent query volume all day long. It has been rock solid.

I find writing sql in rust with sqlx to be far fewer lines of code than the same in Go. This server was ported from Go and the end result was ~40% fewer lines of code, less memory usage and stable cpu/memory usage over time.

This sounds like a job for named pipes. You get the temporary file, but nothing is actually written to disk. Or maybe unnamed pipes, if bash command redirection is suitable for creating the list of options.

Looking back, it's unfortunate that Unix authors offered piping of input and output streams, but did not extend that to arbitrary number of streams, making process arguments just a list of streams (with some shorthand form for constants to type in command line, and universal grammar). We could have been used to programs that react to multiple inputs or produce multiple outputs.

It is obvious that it made sense in the '70s to just copy the call string to some free chunk of memory in the system record for the starting process, and let it parse those bytes in any way it wants, but, as a result, we can't just switch from list of arguments to arbitrary stream without rewriting the program. In that sense, argument strings are themselves a workaround, a quick hack which gave birth to ad-hoc serialisation rules, multi-level escaping chains, lines that are “too long” for this random system or for that random system, etc.

I totally get that there's a spectrum of responses and that everyone has good reasons for feeling the way they do. I don't think one is right and another wrong. They're all right.

From a moderation point of view the questions are: where is the cost/benefit optimum for the community, and what is most in keeping with the intended spirit of the site?

I don't think punishing people for past crimes should be a primary function for HN. IMO the cost of that outweighs the benefit, and it isn't optimal for what we want here (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

That's why I'm willing to make a rare out-of-band exception for a post like this. But not so often that it becomes a Thing.

Total benefit in dollar value for a typical illegal immigrant in Los Angeles with a wife and three children

-------- Cash-like income

• CA Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) 2,400 ‑ 3 qualifying kids and earned income around $20 k → ~$2 000 CA + $400 YCTC add-on.

• Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC) under age 6 $1,080

• County “Breathe” Guaranteed Income Pilot $1,000

• Child Tax Credit (federal, kids=U.S. citizens) $6,000

• CalWORKs Stage 1 child-care voucher (parent copay $0) $8,500

• Los Angeles County General Relief (“GR”, undocumented adult) $2,348/yr 221 × 12 ≈ $2 650; actual monthly household max 2 adults = $442 (LAC DPSS 2023 schedule). Family with kids rarely gets full GR cash, so book 50 % = $2 348.

-------- Food

• CalFresh for 3 citizen kids $8,940

Max allotment for 3 children household = $780 / mo × 12.

Housing-subsidy value (Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher)

• Local Payment Standard (3-br in Central LA, 2024) 28,640 FMR $2 655 / mo × 12. Actual voucher covers 26 600 after utility allowance; market-value differential is tax-free.

-------- Medical care (only the kids qualify under “Restricted Medi-Cal”):

• Children’s Medi-Cal (MC+) HMO PMPM $3,600 ~ $3 000 capitation + dental + mental health wrapped.

-------- Education / daycare substitutes

• State Preschool slots, 3-4-year-olds (county rate) $8,520 6.5 hrs/day × 180 days × $14.50/hr teacher-cost ≈ $8 520 “value”.

• Title-I supplemental services at public school $1,500

-------- Energy / utility

• LADWP low-income discount (ELECTRIC, $0.11/kWh credit) $720

• SoCalGas CARE discount (≈20 %) $240

-------- Transportation

• LADOT universal student pass (DASH), 3 riders $360

TOTAL ANNUAL BENEFIT VALUE

Cash/benefits truly delivered: $2 400 + 1 080 + 1 000 + 6 000 + 8 500 + 2 348 + 8 940 + 28 640 + 3 600 + 8 520 + 1 500 + 720 + 240 + 360 = $73 848 / year

Market-value package ≈ $74 k rounded.

This explanation is so vague that it’s hard to take seriously. Anthropic has full access to usage data—they could easily identify abusive users and throttle them specifically. But they don’t. Why? Because it was never really about stopping abuse. The truth is: Anthropic can’t handle the traffic and growth, and now they’re looking for a convenient excuse to limit access and point fingers at so-called “heavy users.”

The problem is, we have no visibility into how much we’ve actually used or how much quota we have left. So we’ll just get throttled without warning—regularly. And not because we’re truly heavy users, but because that’s the easiest lever to pull.

And I suspect many of us paying $200 a month will be left wondering, “Did I use it too much? Is this my fault?” when in reality, it never was.

The divide described in the article is just nonsense. Maybe it's more along the lines of those who focus on quality versus those who focus on shipping. In the end, we want both, but which aspect is more important to either party is what I get from a good faith read of the article.

If you care most about quality then you realize that AI coding assistants are fundamentally unable to provide that since they fundamentally rehash what they have been trained on, which is, fundamentally, mediocre code, on average. It must be, because it's hard (impossible?) to measure, so can't be filtered out of the training data. Quality focus engineers (the "craft" folks) don't consider that enough. If all you want is ship, you don't care.

And that'a fair, it's a matter of personal priorities, and customers value these things differently too, so there is a place in the market for either. But please stop phrasing this in terms of loving syntax puzzles or such nonsense.

Evals are a core part of any up to date LLM team. If some team was just winging it without robust eval practices they’re not to be trusted.

> Further more, I've worked with a pretty well respected researcher in this space and in our internal experiment we found that LLMs where not good critics

This is an idea that seems so obvious in retrospect, after using LLMs and getting so many flattering responses telling us we’re right and complementing our inputs.

For what it’s worth, I’ve heard from some people who said they were getting better results by intentionally using different LLM models for the eval portion. Feels like having a model in the same family evaluate its own output triggers too many false positives.
