You can find "radical deregulation" in this exact field throughout the developing world, and it's one of the things that keeps drawing me back. It's wonderful. You can find all sorts of of people selling all sorts of delicious stuff at rock bottom prices and when you buy it it's not only made by the same people who own the stand, but also of course directly supporting these people so it even feels better just spending money at these places.

In my experience food regulation does very little for food safety. When somebody opens a stall to sell food, they generally know how to cook very well. And a single incidence of bad food is enough to put somebody out of business. These places all develop regulars, and when they lose a regular - it hurts. Sell unclean food, and your regulars are gone. And people also talk, meaning you may lose customers that didn't even come that day.

All in all in something like a decade of travel in developing nations, I got food poisoning once. Ironically it was from a western targeted fast food chain! I've never gotten sick from eating at 'street food' vendors literally thousands of times, excepting the early months when you first move to a place that's mostly just your body adjusting to all the new microbial stuff that's present even in clean food.

And in many ways, I think the direct ownership provides far greater safeguards than a mountain of rules and regulations. Because in the end those rules and regulations mean absolutely nothing when some detached worker decides not to wash their hands after coming back from the toilet. That and the fact that they are generally going to locally source their ingredients, whereas McCorporate Burger is going to see where they can find the cheapest substance that can legally be classified as meat that passes taste tests, and then import it by the ton.

The demonstration in Figure 7 of a program that executes a benign codepath on QEMU but malicious on baremetal - and the benign codepath is what shows up in the disassemblers they tested - is very neat.

Oh wow, I've been wanting to do this exact project for the longest time. Are you able to share anything more on the custom manufactured bits and pieces, how you interfaced with the chemical roller mechanism, etc?
Thanks for the stimulating post! I do have a few comments/disagreements -

> And finally, I hate how people have the gall to say that they'd rather shut their ears and avoid politics altogether, even when it's affecting everyone around them in drastic ways.

I mean, it's kind of explicitly the idea of this forum to not involve discussions of politics. I guess you could claim otherwise, but I for one think it's legitimate to have a place where people choose not to talk about politics. Not literally every discussion has to be about politically charged topics.

(Which is not to say they don't get discussed here anyway.)

> It bothers me that such an intelligent community is often seemingly devoid of deeply-held values. People here aren't nearly angry enough about the political clusterfuck going on in the US. People here want to make nice and are unwilling to burn bridges to stand up for what's right.

I'm not in the US. But, there's a lot to be said for calming down - it seems to me that a big part of the problem today is exactly that too many people are too emotional/angry about everything, without necessarily having a reason to be. The reason there's a political clusterfuck, to me at least, seems to be exactly because people are willing to burn bridges, refuse to compromise, refuse to listen to one another, etc.

And btw, as to your "deeply held values" thing - this is a technical/business forum. It makes sense that the forum as a whole doesn't have "values" - it's made up of a very diverse group of people (well, not very diverse actually, but that's another problem). A diverse group of people getting together to talk about e.g. sports, wouldn't necessarily be expected to have more shared values than just people in general have.

> I hate how politically ambivalent and "both sides are the same" people here are, despite it being shown again and again that this is simply not the case.

Look, it's not that I disagree with all of your post or something, I thought it was well written and interesting. But you seem to be operating under the assumption that your view of things is clearly right, and other's views are wrong, which is why it makes you angry that others don't buy in wholesale to your views or values. For example, you write "It bothers me that such an intelligent community is often seemingly devoid of deeply-held values.", but also write "I hate how free speech is unduly prioritized over everything else, even when it marginalizes people and whittles away at our separation of powers.". Some people's deeply held values are that free speech is prioritized over (almost) everything else. You might not agree with that deeply held value, but it is one that supposedly the community here values (I don't know if that's actually true).
I have no idea on how many other OSes do this, but at least OpenBSD will use idle time to pre-clear memory pages that have been returned to the OS, so that when the next process has them mapped, it doesn't have to zero-fill-on-demand at the very latest moment.
It has to be done at some point, but if you keep a queue of pages needing to be cleared and dealing with as many as you can while any core is idle, a non-100% busy system can be seen as to "improve" performance a bit by timeshifting the task to not-directly-after-former process but also not when the new process is calling for memory to be mapped in.

But when that list is empty, doing the right kind of CPU sleep is totally worthwhile of course.
It was incredibly stupid of them to commit the murder at the embassy. It totally removes plausible deniability and draws unnecessary attention to their embassy. They knew his schedule and could have performed the assassination shortly before or after the embassy visit and still be able to intimidate their enemies.

Another thing Khashoggi's murder highlights: it's becoming increasingly difficult for intelligence services to hide the identifies and activities of their operatives. Competent researchers can much more easily map them out by accessing social media, CCTV data, public government databases and the occasional leak.
I would definitely not call yellow a safe color. I use a terminal with a white background, and yellow text is unreadable unless the text is also given a custom background color.
Same guy who did the https://github.com/Battelle/movfuscator which compiles programs into code with only the x86 MOV instruction.
Maybe the artists should care. The music industry is pretty consumer-hostile these days. Could you imagine if, twenty years ago, it was commonplace to sell CD or vinyl records that only worked on a specific brand of stereo. These days it's commonplace to release albums exclusively on iTunes, which requires a specific brand of operating system (Microsoft or Apple,) and a specific brand of software to purchase and download the music.

I get that this isn't directly the artist's fault and I understand that a lot of people don't care about this kind of freedom, but I certainly wouldn't blame someone for wanting to opt-out, even if that means they don't support artists that require the use of proprietary software to buy their music.
This code is really clean, nicely done ( eg. https://github.com/victorqribeiro/AOSE/blob/master/js/firefi... )
I parsed Taleb differently to you, I think part of his point is most behavioural economics is only looking at whether behaviour is rational or not and the individual level, but they are missing the fact that we're a herd species and behaviour has meaning as well in aggregate - there's second order effects. His point about nudges etc is that it is dangerous, as we focus on first order effects but ignore second order effects. This is what creates large risks, for example, defaulting everyone into one type of pension plan which is itself defaulted into one style of index investing, most of the indexes use the same tracking algorithm creates second order risks that we don't understand where there were none previously.
Me too! I wish the article had tons more detail (and pictures!)

That film is still made? Wow. That's descended from Kodak's instant camera film. Kodak was found to be infringing Polaroid's patents and was given 30 days to exit the instant photo business. They even had to buy back all the cameras. But Fuji and Polaroid cut a deal for the Japanese market, and when the patents expired Fuji could go worldwide.
EU drops rule that would prevent self-driving car data from being copyrighted
The FETO thing is a very, very, large ball of wax. It is a mistake to dismiss it out of hand. That said, the US and Turkey don't see eye to eye on a host of things, but my understanding is that the military and intelligence cooperation/trust between our two countries is significantly stronger than Tweets from our respective leaders would indicate. Whether or not you believe it, I believe they believe it when they say it.

I wonder how efficient it is. If a square meter of the material were to be placed in 1000w/m² sunlight, how many grams of carbon can it scrub per hour? Can the carbon be easily recovered? How many break/repair cycles can this material do without deforming or degrading?

> Yeah, there are strategies for dealing with criticism. I use this a lot when dealing with customers (I love the analogy of the feedback bucket - put the shitty feedback in the bucket and use it to grow roses of insight). It's easier to deal with this kind of criticism, because the customer is always right.

That's a good strategy too, however I do not explicitly use the things I said as a "strategy". I always live like that, so it can be said that it's my default mode. However, I need to say I was much like you. With some hard work and determination I've changed myself.

> But add the emotional vulnerability to the well-known entitlement stuff ("I used your code in my project and it doesn't work, so you need to fix it"), and the hassle of dealing with other people (ugh), and, well... why bother?

I wouldn't bother too, but send them a bug report template to fill. If they say it doesn't work, they need to put the money where their mouth is, and tell me exactly why and how it doesn't work.

> The upside that you describe - or struggle to describe... I've never experienced that. I find myself explaining my code to someone because they criticised it without understanding it, and there's no feelgood there. I wish there was.

You're telling yourself. My code didn't suck, but they didn't read/understand it. Don't forget that the problem is on the other side of the fence. You don't need to feel bad, because the other side didn't understand it. It's not because your code sucked. Don't let them throw their frustration to your turf.

> Not using pointers at all for graphs.

And trees.

> I suspect a lot of the data where you want to use pointers for efficiency, is already in stricter shapes than graphs.

In games, graphs are used for pathfinding and other AI, for skeletal animation incl. IK.

Trees are everywhere: scene graph, bounding volumes, space partitioning, many others.

I disagree. It's all about adaptation. Sure, if you step down to SD from HD, it will be hard. But if you are forced to watch SD always, you will eventually adapt to it again.
Backticks are used for template literals. Try evaluating `2 + 2 = ${2 + 2}`.
That's very cool. I am also surprised about the bugs discovered in disassemblers. You would expect that these kind of mistakes are quickly discovered. Or was the Intel manual wrong?

Edit: Ah, they explain it in the last paragraph of that section.
How are TCP connections established while using anycast ?

I was reading https://serverfault.com/questions/279482/what-is-the-differe... to understand what exactly is unicast, anycast, etc. It seems like TCP works with unicast.

With GeoDNS users requests will be resolved to single IP address with which they can establish a TCP connection.

How, will connection establishment (TCP specifically) work with anycast ? Where request (packets ?) can be routed to different machines ? Is there some other network protocol to use with anycast ?

I was going through: https://serverfault.com/questions/616412/how-does-anycast-wo... , not sure it is the 2018 way of doing these things.

Sorry for dumb questions, network newbie here.
Ok, I took a crack at replacing the title with a representative sentence from the article. If anyone can suggest a better title, we can change it again.

"Better" here means more accurate and neutral, and preferably using representative language from the article.
To isolate possible issues with gtld, dns + glue records, registrar, domain blocking (corporate firewalls, restricted/compromised user dns, malware) that affects .com (the github.debug that is, debug.github.com is not a good solution for the above reasons)
Yes, there are still a lot of films now. Sadly Fujifilm halted production of many large size instant films (FP-3000, FP-100) and keeps small Instax instant films only.
Absolutely, if I were in a position where my job were easily automated I would be terrified.

I suspect the majority of HN readers are in a less precarious position, so we have the privilege of a little detachment in our horror at the prospect of huge swathes of automation.

What to do though? There is very little we can do to stymie the inevitable unemplocalyspe without ripping up society's rulebook altogether.

I fear unionization may have been the answer 30+ years ago but that particular horse has well and truly bolted. Universal basic income failed in Finland as far as I can remember (I could be wrong on all counts there, it's still early!), and let's be honest - any government legislation would just lead to a global race-to-the-bottom as nations prostitute their labour laws to attract companies priced out of traditional locations by taxation and fines. Trade tariffs would only drive companies to diversify into new markets and if consumer demand was there, a thriving grey market would emerge...

Perhaps 'hand packed' will just join 'organic' 'sustainable' and 'free range' as desirable things to have on your packaging? Check out these hand-picked shoes!

Uniqlo are an interesting example, they compete primarily on price anyway (Heck, I'm wearing a pair of their cheapo selvage jeans) so they will absolutely push this as far as they can.

Well worth keeping an eye on them over the next couple of years to see how it plays out - will likely form the template.
If this works like the Polaroid SX-70 system, the rollers are just metal rollers a specific distance apart. They squeeze a package of chemicals inside the sealed film package and spread them uniformly over the film.

The chemistry of those systems is incredibly complex, but the mechanism is simple.

Yes, a multifaceted approach that takes into account lots of factors would be ideal. It’s still better than existing rankings though, which just use a statewide average.
Well, if your goal is to reduce electricity consumption, the proper way would be to increase prices for it. It's just there might be easier and faster ways, not only improving idle CPU states.
There are obvious examples of this and you may be entirely correct, but does this apply to countries that aren’t dictatorships or similar?
Israel, China, USA, Britain, France, Germany, Italy et al seem to be doing ok at keeping their dirty work quiet, or am I just missing the news? It seems unlikely that they all have clean hands.
Sure they got good financial security, even if you are employed at some unknown third-world software company. You're prospects are still very good compared to a blue-colar.

However, financial security is not the only thing you need in life to be happy.
It is an odd work. Homer’s works are well constructed, but extemporized from, probably, many public performances. However Virgil was more Tolkien than Homer, writing an epic divorced from public performance. Personally I think to ascribe anti imperial (or pro) ideology to the book is anachronistic. I don’t think the ancient world would have seen ideology as a force in the ascendancy of empire. These things are the result of chance and the will of the gods in the ancient world. Philosophy in Virgil’s time had much more to do with how to handle life as it came at you rather than how it ought to be shaped (think Marcus Aurelias’s Meditations).
And I feel I must report that Polaroid is resurrected and make color, black and white in both SX-70 and 600 formats, as well as sell new (with builtin rechargeable batteries, charges with USB) cameras.
IIRC the efficiency is hilariously bad. It's something like 100W of EUV light takes 1,000,000W (1MW) to produce.
> 2. "Logically" dangling pointers (safe languages with non-generational indices). This is a logic bug, but not a security problem.

Many logic bugs become security issues. This specific one -- by way of TOCTOU races -- is one of the richest sources of security issues in Unix. The proposed "dormant index" solution is likely to generate a lot of these as well.
I lost my long and well sourced post responding to this, so I'll be brief(er).

To begin, the atrocities of the "Holocaust" as its commonly referred to, as the large scale extermination of the Jews, didn't really begin until after the US entered the war. Before then, knowledge of the the general plight of Jews in Germany and Europe were pretty much common knowledge. So your claim that broader knowledge of the Holocaust might have caused the US to enter the war earlier has a flaw: There was, at the time, not yet a Holocaust for people to be aware of.

As for everything else, I'm actually perplexed by portions of your argument, because you seem to be arguing that the government should not censor people, and that populist censorship via speech is bad. It seems pretty clear to me that if the US outlawed threatening journalists, it would lead to an improvement in press freedom, and from your comments, it sounds like you would agree with this, since its a form of "radicalized censorship". But I think you would also argue that such a law was itself censorship and unethical. This is especially true since you conflate censorship and suppression.

Censorship is but one form of suppression. I can suppress an idea without censoring it by generating so much nonsense that an observer can't readily discern between fact and fiction. You clearly have an objection to the suppression of facts, and I would agree that that's not a good thing.

But where I disagree with you is that censorship necessitates the suppression of facts. In fact I think often, well "aimed" censorship can improve discourse and prevent the suppression of ideas.

>It's impossible to actually regulate censorship because for regulations to be sound they have to be vigorously debated, but the public can't, by definition, debate whether something should be censored if nobody can talk about it because it's being censored.

I do also want to call this out specifically. We are, right now, albeit by proxy, vigorously debating the right to support Naziism. Yet, I don't see any reason for an observer to believe that either you or I ourselves supports Naziism. Censoring "support of Nazis" does not necessitate censoring "support of the right to express support of Nazis".
I think the disconnect for me is that circular references just aren't "irregular", they are the natural expression for doubly linked lists, trees with references to parents, etc: these usage patterns are the primary cause of memory issues that I come across in C++.

In other words, static safety in the face of circular references is what would provide me a major clear advantage for better-than-C++, and unfortunately that doesn't seem to be something that is even seen as an opportunity for Rust given all of the rhetoric about that being an abnormal pattern and index-into-array being safe enough under that world.
I am a proponent of both static (Rust) and dynamic (Ruby) typing in programming languages. They both have their place, and if there are bugs you can always fix the code.

The one place where I don’t think dynamic types have their place is in internal interchange formats. These can live forever, and they can change subtly over time. It’s the living forever part that changes the calculus.
