Yes. Google offers ADMX templates for controlling Chrome which can be deployed through group policy. It includes an extension blacklist, which accepts wildcards. In my case, I put a * in there. It also has an extension whitelist, and a list of "force-installed apps and extensions".

I wonder how much money each year is lost to software bugs and development costs involving time zones and DST.
Yep, that’s the point, avoid all byproducts.

I’ve seen more products labeled as veganic so it seems doable and they weren’t too much more expensive than organic bread or what have you.

Worst part (which has improved dramatically) was the rough edges in the web assembly toolchains early on.

I'm an atheist who eats a plant based diet but I didn't start out that way. I noticed that those who choose to eat meat are a lot like Christians in that they become unhinged when an atheist is in their midst. There's this reputation of the preachy hippy vegan, but in my experience it is the other way around.
> You could make the same arguments about milk though, right?

Sort of, but with an important distinction - we have to keep the dairy cows having babies so they're making milk. The female calves have to be separated and fed formula (so we can get the milk; likely traumatic for the babies). The male calves are either killed or raised for veal, which is going to present... issues for vegans.

Serious answer: why does it matter?

Are you an organization promoting veganism? Maybe direct your limited awareness raising funds at less ambiguous examples.

Are you looking to score points against a self-professed vegan acquaintance? Maybe don't offer guidance on what other people eat unless they ask for input.

Are you a conflicted vegan? If you're feeling inner turmoil about consumption of scallops/oysters then maybe abstain to be safe.

Are you (as I suspect) merely concerned about definitions? Define "vegan" sufficiently and the answer should follow from that. Different self-professed vegans will use different definitions, some seek to avoid "animal products", others "animal suffering". In the latter case, an organism without a nervous system cannot "suffer" as the term is commonly defined, in the former "animal" is typically used synonymously with the kingdom Animalia.

Why not? As a citizen paying taxes I'd like the ability to quickly know who the paving company was (or if city workers, then definitely who specifically was involved), and who the supplier of the asphalt (etc) is, etc; a platform like the stock market but for cities, requiring to release an annual report (maybe some already do have this requirement?), and the ecosystem that could develop around it would be very useful. Is a city run well - why and who seems to be leading the success?

> Of course, in neither data format do you have any way of actually authenticating the other votes, by design. Maybe the vote in the block before yours was a dead person, or never existed at all, how would you know?

In many European countries we do have that, as we carry our national ID cards[0] that have their own private key for signing documents and authenticating. Signing a vote securely isn't a problem but then the problem comes on how you sign it and keep it anonymous simultaneously. Also of course we trust that the state doesn't keep the private keys somehow when creating new cards.

He's saying Reason = OCaml. OCaml can be compiled to to either a native executable, native bytecode, or JS.

His comment may sound like a bit of an non-sequitur, but really the confusion comes from: it's not a delineation between OCaml and Reason, but native packages vs. packages that are designed with JS interop in mind.

Some native packages can be compiled to JS (e.g. if they don't rely on C FFI), but many interesting ones cannot. js_of_ocaml's version of this story is much better than bucklescript's, but honestly I haven't explored it that much in either one.

So what you're saying - write pure OCaml/Reason code, with some JS interop, without relying on native OCaml/Reason packages - is certainly possible! And is probably the most common way of writing apps using the ReasonML syntax today.
Alien Ecology as Character? (2013)
The C++ probably wasn't written for a browser. More likely it was written for a native frontend and has been ported to the browser via WebAssembly.
Even outside of C/C++, Emscripten seems to be required in some fashion for just about every "compile X to webasm". Which i'm not that happy about as it's quite heavy and takes a long time to compile, which makes it harder for newcomers to try it out because it requires a fairly large time investment to even compile hello world.

> So we're trusting the voting machines?

Maybe. I'm not married to much - I'm just defending that voting is one of the rare cases where I think blockchain has value. We currently trust the voting machines, so even if we do it with the voting machines, it's still an improvement on what we're currently doing.

> But if there's no 'voter identity' in the system at all, what's stopping a malicious government from just synthesising the whole blockchain?

Not much! So we either have to allow individuals voters to get a receipt and verify their votes (which can introduce problems), or we have to print paper receipts which are kept on site. Yes, those can be printed out as a bad actor synthesizes a new blockchain, but paper ballots can be faked, too.

To me, the mission is creating an easily auditable voting record, which we do not have now.
It's difficult. The internet if full of crackpots and overhyped press release from the universities, so read a lot, but be aware that a lot of that is misleading or false.

Some pessimistic tips:

* Ignore any result that has less than 5 years. In 5 years it should have been confirmed or debunked. Enjoy the news and try to keep track of them for 5 years ...

* Look at the Wikipedia page. It's not 100% sure but at least there is a good chance that someone review the content.

* Photos or it didn't happen. (Preferably videos.) What evidence are they providing? Has anyone reproduced the experiment?

* Some field like nutrition have an history of extreme claims that are proven wrong a few year later. (How many eggs should you eat per week?) Assume that all field have the same level of rigor. After 10 or 15 years you can start to assign more reliability to some fields. (Why your phone battery is not 1000000 better than now?)

* Peer review is good, but not infallible. In particular be aware of p-hacking and publication bias. Also there are good and bad journals.

> Ok, but how do you enforce that? If you've got a technique that requires manual review and reasoning at a distance to use safely, then again we're no better off than we would be using dynamic casts.

More hyperbole. Failing to constrain may lead to a null reference exception. Just like passing a reference to any method anywhere in C#. It is no better and no worse than any other C# code. However it does allow for ad-hoc polymorphic return values. Which is the entire point. That is not the same as returning a dynamic value, which is a type that propagates dynamic dispatch wherever it's passed. A failure to capture a null reference bug means on first usage it will blow up - so you fix the code and everything is type safe.

> If you don't have a typesystem feature in a safe way, you don't have it.

The feature is safe. Your argument is the same as saying C# doesn't have classes because a reference can be null, or C# doesn't have fields because a field can be null. All throughout this frankly tedious discussion you have somehow conflated having a bug in an application with having no type system at all. C#'s type system is obviously nowhere near as impressive as Haskell, but C# is actually used in the real world much more, and so if someone wants polymorphic return values then they can. I mean they can anyway through inheritance, never mind the ad-hoc approach I demonstrated - but whatever yeah?

In another article recently linked on HN, the author of the Unreal Engine explained how the impressive featurelist it had came to be- they simply looked on other peoples "engine" screenshots online- and decided - if other people could do that- so could they. Turns out- noone else had done it before- the "screenshots" where renderings - and they where involuntary pioneers.

So to have the ilusion of the impossible allready having been accomplished (which students usually have at some point) and the delusion of beeing stupid while entering unfamiliar territory, while beeing to shy to ask the original "author" - that is where inovation originates.
I disagree. The OP pointed to the perfect source for his title, showing the origin of the data.

The Richter scale measures and describes impacts, so you already know the impact from the 6.4 rating itself.

For 6.0 to 6.9:

> Damage to a moderate number of well-built structures in populated areas. Earthquake-resistant structures survive with slight to moderate damage. Poorly designed structures receive moderate to severe damage. Felt in wider areas; up to hundreds of miles/kilometers from the epicenter. Strong to violent shaking in epicentral area.

Also, your link added very little info, and the only mention of the building toppling (the infamous impacts) are in the title, with no reports, photos, or witness accounts (as of yet).

I like that the OP didn't fall into voyeurism, that the title was enough to inform me that a strong earthquake happened in Taiwan, and that the source was enough to confirm it.

For the rest, I'll have the evening news, or BBC articles, but I don't think I need them here on HN or that they were needed for this particular piece of information, at this point in time.

I personally stay far away from password managers, especially as browser extensions. I'd really recommend everyone look at how many of their Chrome extensions have the permission to "access your data on all websites", and consider whether or not they really trust the companies or individuals who made those extensions with that permission.

It's eye-opening to people when I ask them about an extension they have, say "Honey", and they say they like it because it saves them money. And then I point out it can access everything they do online, and ask them if that's a concern or not.

I looked at ReasonML couple weeks back intrigued by Jared's post (referenced in this thread as well) I noticed mentions about OCaml not supporting Unicode. I was wondering what does that actually mean? If you target native you have to find good external libraries for Unicode string manipulation? Or that text handling in OCaml (and thus Reason) is harder compared to facilities in, say, JavaScript and Python?

Other than that bit Reason React looks very promising. My usual use case tends to start with arbitrary JSON source I'd like to build a tool for. Due to strict typing this runs headlong into hurdles that have ended my explorations...
The Space Shuttle was perfectly capable of carrying its main fuel tank into orbit... I always wondered why they didn’t do that as standard, then later connect up all the now empty tanks, pressurise them and hey presto, instant space station, far bigger than the ISS. Such a waste to just drop them.
Unless conversion is instantaneous, they all need to store wealth. From the time it takes for you to get your salary until you spend it for example.

Inflation guarantees that your salary is worth less when you spend it than when it was paid to you.

If inflation is high enough for you to worry about it, the solution would indeed be to convert it as quickly as possibly to something that is better at storing value.

At some point, people might start trading the thing that stores value really well and just retire that constantly depreciating currency.

If you compare it to having a lever by the driver as in any other car, that's 2 seconds to do vs them having to search on the Internet / find documents in the car then find the hole then connect up a battery.

Makes sense! I tend to take the "wrapping your point in uncertainty" approach, without all the ego-stroking. Nothing against ego-stroking; it just seems hard to make it feel genuine enough for it to work. Most comments (mine included!) contain little enough insight that any praise more intense than "good point!" or "agreed!" or "that's totally right!" feels somewhat disingenuous.
This remark is barely even related to my argument, so I don't get why you made it a reply. I'm just going to rephrase the argument you ignored. If you address it, at all, I'll try to return the favor and address the points you raised too.

To secure a computer system, you have to find and patch all of its vulnerabilities, as well as distribute your patch to every node in the network. It's like what Maggie Thatcher said about terrorism. If the defender messes up even one time, the attacker wins. So the amount of effort that the attacker needs is much, much smaller than what the defender needs.

Compare that to a European country without America's easy access to guns. Crime is always cheaper than law enforcement, but in a country without ubiquitous guns, crime is somewhat cheaper than law enforcement. Online, crime is massively cheaper than law enforcement. That means that crime has a systemic advantage.

Who even hires for cybersecurity, in government? Who has the resources for it? Do local police departments compete with startups for top tech talent? Of course not.

Say you're a small town in Pennsylvania. A woman who lives in your town is being harassed by a loosely affiliated global network of anonymous misogynistic trolls. Is your police department qualified to protect her? This is a major flaw in the police department's ability to fulfill its responsibilities towards its citizenry and taxpayers, and we haven't even added black hat hackers to the equation yet.

In a hacking situation, the defender needs to coordinate an entire network, to make sure everybody's using the latest patches, while the attacker can operate solo, which eliminates organizational overhead. Yet attackers can and do share information about attack vectors. The decentralization that network technology makes possible is very favorable for attackers. Meanwhile, most of our infrastructure runs on languages that are extremely difficult to secure, even without questions of coordination.

This is a fundamental threat to the rule of law. Some of these problems can be addressed by modifying which agencies are responsible for which types of problems. But the economic aspects are fundamental. Crime is cheaper than enforcement and security by orders of magnitude. Few people are qualified to secure these systems, and many of them can make more money by penetrating them. For every brilliant hacker who moves to the US and starts another Google, there are a hundred who are stuck in Estonia, where their best bet is stealing credit card numbers or breaking into Bitcoin exchanges. The profit potential there is literally in the billions; even Silicon Valley has a hard time competing with that.

These incentives are inherently dangerous, and that is unlikely to change.
I don't think it makes sense to discuss such details as if all vegans thought alike. There are many differences in thought among them, as in any group of humans.

But I would like to point out that this argument by analogy is flawed: Honey is food for the bees themselves. Taking it away harms the bees by making them work harder for their survival. (Unless you can prove that you only take a surplus that they would never touch.) In contrast, excrement from animals like cows or horses is not used by the animal itself.

As someone else pointed out in this thread, if necessary, many vegans could probably get behind a world were animals were raised for the use of their excrement but nothing else.
