No idea why anyone would want to use this.

There's dozens of SBCs with 2x better specs than a Pi, but the Pi is arguably the most dominant board out there.
For makers (for anyone really), documentation is king. Working code, lots of examples, and good forums make the SBC, not the hardware.

As for the other group, "hardware startups": Why on earth would you lock yourself into another startup for the brains of your new project? It makes no sense. Remember what happened to Intel's SBC? If a company that big can't provide decent EOL support, what do you think will happen if Neutis folds? Pick a ARM something core with a certified BT/WiFi module, and choose from several manufacturers with real EOL schedules and a history of following them

Don't get me wrong, the 10 year guarantee is nice, but I don't think anyone can afford to believe it.
Reason for surveillance. London and Paris may do the same if there are more attacks.

"Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri released a statement supporting Jihad in Xinjiang against Chinese, in the Caucasus against the Russians and naming Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan as places of warfare.[42] Zawahiri endorsed "jihad to liberate every span of land of the Muslims that has been usurped and violated, from Kashgar to Andalusia, and from the Caucasus to Somalia and Central Africa".[43] Uyghurs inhabit Kashgar, the city which was mentioned by Zawahiri.[44]"

They don't want moderation.

"The Uyghur terrorist organization East Turkestan Islamic Movement's magazine Islamic Turkistan has accused the Chinese "Muslim Brotherhood" (the Yihewani) of being responsible for the moderation of Hui Muslims and the lack of Hui joining terrorist jihadist groups in addition to blaming other things for the lack of Hui Jihadists, such as the fact that for more than 300 years Hui and Uyghurs have been enemies of each other, no separatist Islamist organizations among the Hui, the fact that the Hui view China as their home, and the fact that the "infidel Chinese" language is the language of the Hui.[33][34]"

"A 2016 study from New America, a Washington-based think tank, found 114 Uighurs from Xinjiang joined the Islamic State. Xinjiang furnished the highest number of foreign ISIS fighters from any one region of the world outside of Saudi Arabia and Tunisia, the study found."

I think this is the point that's often overlooked. Everything in safe rust is supposed to be both memory safe and thread safe. The textbook implementation of linked lists and trees are not thread safe, and easily not memory safe.

Something else I'd point out is that science often goes through the trouble of finding paliative solutions rather than developing a fundamental understanding of the root causes.

I can no longer edit my comment, but I have now read all 75 Pages, and the Article does in fact mention some of these issues, such as member-managed vs manager-managed LLCs and then in the "detection problem" section they discuss incorporators, directors, officers of corporations.

Still the premises of the Article is flawed, and found in Section 1(b), Initiating Algorithmic Entities, on page 13, in part:

>Bayern specifies this chain of events as capable of establishing the link:
(1) [A]n individual member creates a member-managed LLC,
filing the appropriate paperwork with the state; (2) the individual(along, possibly, with the LLC, which is controlled by the sole member) enters into an operating agreement governing the conduct of the LLC; (3) the operating agreement specifies that the LLC will take actions as determined by an autonomous system, specifying terms or conditions as appropriate to achieve the autonomous system’s legal goals; (4) the sole member
withdraws from the LLC, leaving the LLC without any members. The result is potentially a perpetual LLC—a new legal person—that requires no ongoing intervention from any preexisting legal person in order to maintain its status.

The premises is the last member (owner) withdrawing from the LLC leaving an AI to run the perpetual LLC, which is a legal impossibility. Every State has a law requiring an LLC have at least one member, and upon the withdraw of the last member of an LLC the LLC immediately becomes administratively dissolved (no longer in good standing with the State) under the State's law. Its not novel, similar laws govern situations when the sole member of an LLC dies, either the LLC automatically dissolves or ownership gets distributed to the member's heirs, pursuant to the specific State's laws, but the managers and/or employees don't go on running the member-less LLC whether they are human or an AI.

Agreed. I'd go further though and say the semi-autonomous feature itself is fundamentally flawed. It's a mishmash of what the car will do and what the human is expected to do; the whole while making the human responsible even if the car fails in doing its part.

So, I don't buy into their disclaiming of responsibility if the car fails in what it is doing autonomously.

That is, it's one thing if a safety measure fails to engage (for instance, the car fails to brake to avoid an accident while still under the human's control). However, it's a different matter when the car offers to actively perform a function in lieu of the human, then fails in properly performing it.

By the mere existence and offer of the function, the company is essentially making a claim as to the vehicle's fitness for that function and asking the human to trust that claim by assigning control to the vehicle. No amount of verbiage that tries to assign responsibility back to the human can offset the fact that the vehicle was under its own control when it failed.
Yeah I'm aware of the build mirror, but crashcart builds things under a different prefix so it must build things from source each time. I realize this doesn't affect most users (which is why it takes a while for disappearing sources to be found and fixed). A content addressed mirror for sources as well would solve the problem nicely.

Beanie Babies are decentralized, and not double-spendable, whilst being pretty anonymous and not requiring a cohort of miners wasting electricity to mine them. They are in finite supply, and are not stealable by hackers. And like fiat, they apparently lose value (which is a good thing for a currency) Pretty good currency IMO.
I am sorry, but you are still making the same mistake I pointed out earlier, conflating statistical concepts with colloquial ones. You don’t seem to understand the point I am making at all. To understand a statistical argument like the paper submitted, or respond to the statistical argument in the ‘diversity’ memo, you require a basic understanding of statistics. 5%, 15%, those exact numbers I was throwing out, are meaningless here. From a statistical standpoint, what matters is the distribution. The distribution of traits for individuals at the 50th percentile (using whatever metric), is not the same as the distribution of individuals at the 85th percentile, nor the 95th percentile. What you need to understand is that for the general population, the distributions of traits are not identical at every percentile. That is the key misunderstanding you demonstrate in your original comment. Further, your claim that “somewhere at 15-20% its really not a big deal” is not easily disprovable, but statistical nonsense (that’s a colloquial statement).

I do encourage you to re-read my comments and understand where 15% and 5% come from. They are from different populations, something which you do not appear to notice.

Sadly there’s a litany of basic mistakes in your comment. It’s not worth my teaching people high school statistics, so I won’t be replying.
I miss what Wave could have been. Some of the core ideas had promise, but never really quite hit the mark.
You are probably right to an extent. I should probably phrase my comment highlighting more the unhealthy manner of the concept, and there certainly is a balance to strike somewhere. Some jobs are inherently meaningful, but I believe those are rare. For the vast majority, it is imperative that people have support systems outside of work. Then your "crappy" job doesn't seem so crappy, because you are given money to then go spend on your loved ones doing things you like to do together.
Thank you, this is more in keeping with what I meant (though I might have done a clearer job saying it.) The place I have in mind is admittedly denser than what you describe, and is in many ways the worst of both worlds, but I think the lessons are similar. My home town is one of two 20,000 person towns in a 1000mi^2 county of 120k. Any time you have the combination of major repairs needed at schools and budget shortfalls at either the town schools or the county schools, the idea of consolidation gets floated around. My hometown is a town of 20k with about 950 in high school: enough for some variety, but not enough for all the really fancy stuff that the huge new schools have. On the other hand, the fastest speed limit along the school is 25mph, and it borders the walkable part of town (the rest of the town having been built after WW2.)

It seems like someone is always talking about bonds and matching funds from the state to build some monstrosity at the edge of town so it's only reachable by bus.

The problems of the school are many, but facility is not very high up on the list. The lack of smartboards, likewise. All the best teachers/professors I ever had used whiteboards or blackboards, and plenty of them held classes in buildings 3 times as old as my high school, with trashcans in the hallway to catch the rainwater. That's not to say there's not a place for new things in education, but thoughtful use of it doesn't require brand new everything.

Using the default destructor is broken, yes, but the approach isn't: one can avoid it in the list's destructor using a loop that walks over the list to not let nodes be destroyed recursively (i.e. clearing the next pointers).

node = head
while node:
next = transferOwnershipAndClear(node.next)
node = next

Where the third line would be 'std::unique_ptr<...> next(std::move(node.next)); ' in C++ that uses unique_ptr<...>, or 'let next = node.next.take()' in Rust that uses Option<Box<...>>.

Of course, you could definitely argue that there's little point using unique_ptr if you're still having to write a destructor for the list itself.
It's not. It's hard to get people to pay for a single site.

I read WSJ when I come across links from Hacker News, maybe 10x/month. I'm not gonna pay for that. I already pay for the NYT, the Economist and the New Yorker.

What's a shame is that there's no way for me to pay a set monthly fee for "news" and have that automatically proportioned among the sites I actually visit each month.

Agreed. I'm sure some people think you're being petty but we've wandered way too far into this ultra defensive language on the internet.

I think it's a habit formed from the toxic behavior of people responding to you to try to pin you on some stupid detail, like pointing out that there are exceptions to some uncontroversial statement you made that was only 1% of the point of your post.
Thanks for the replies everybody. One thing that's still confusing to Python tourists (my word for myself since I am usually programming in a different language, but come to Python occasionally to do something) is that everyone talks about pip, when actually it seems pip3 is required to install when using Python 3. Is this no longer the case? Or do people just say "pip" when they mean "pip3"? Or are people actually still living in 2.x land? I'm talking about pip the command line command/binary executable file, not pip the concept / tool name. Similar to the distinction between the capitalized "Python" (name of the language) versus "python" (command entered on the command line/name of the binary on the system).

My flabber is gasted at people complaining about paying a meaty $49 for a quad-core, 64bit, cpu with 8gb of local storage. Twenty years ago I was writing docs for the SGI Challenge[1] with its four MIPS R4000s in a tidy cabinet the size of a two-drawer file (disk drives mounted externally) weighing about 250lbs.

This thing far exceeds the capacity of that machine, costs several orders of magnitude less, and FITS IN A FUCKING MATCHBOOK. Jeez. Get some perspective.

Another alternative is to not use 'rm' day-to-day to delete files. Alias "del" to "rm -i" and force the habit of using "del" to delete. You will then be prompted per file (allowing you to avoid deleting those you don't want to delete). Then reserve use of raw 'rm' for only those times when you really mean to delete a file without prompting (and therefore, have hopefully thought about if you really want to delete these files for good).
Do you live in a high crime area? Your argument stinks of many degrees of separation between what you speak of and what you know.
Crypto works for trust of computing systems - it can make some claims about the transformations of the captured data or about the integrity of the software handling these transformations, but it fundamentally can't make solid claims about reality that's supposedly being captured. You can't put crypto between reality and a sensor.

At best, crypto can give you a statement like "something possessing the particular secret X claims to have sensed this data at this point of time" combined with "there's a device with secret X that has it's software/firmware integrity verified and signed by entity Y". Crypto can't ensure that the secrets on the device aren't actually leaked by the manufacturer to enable "verifying" of arbitrary data outside of that device, and there's always the option to simply ensure that the sensor "sees" what you want; a camera and all the crypto on it can't tell whether it's pointed at a real event, at a staged event, or at a sophisticated optical device projecting arbitrary photoshopped data.

So the short answer is, don't support China.

Long answer is

- reduce buying stuff from China.

- reduce buying stuff on aliexpress or alibaba or even amazon. try buying local

- call out leaders and entrepreneurs on social media when they are acquiescing/favorable to China (Tim Cook, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, etc)

- try to start up manufacturing of hardwares in your city/state/country

- call out China's totalitarianism in your circle of influence
The problem is explained at the end though. They were made to be collected. Mass produced collectable rarely really explode in value because they are kept preciously by their owner. If there was 10K "rare" beanie, chances are there are still the same 10K available. The buyer market however is much smaller.

That happens with plenty of stuff even in the antique range. Japanese, Chinese export silverware/tableware from beginning of the last century trade for poundland level pricing. Dragon-ware or similar stuff brought back by US soldier looks fancy and is similarly worth hardly anything. Even the rarest, best quality lithophane are very reasonable in price i.e. in the tens of dollar range. A good, purchased to be used, brand of tableware from similar period can cost 10 times more, rarest pieces going for hundreds.

Yes, that's true. But even at the time Google had a reputation for throwing a lot of stuff out there and then pulling the rug out from under them if they did not develop traction fast enough and a thing like Wave did not look like it would be a fast grower. So I told myself I'd really get into it if it lasted 5 years. This 'try to not be first' attitude has definitely cost me some opportunities over the years but it has also saved me betting on horses that ended up as also-rans many times.
