I think most probably have a car, but I'm not sure it matters. Developers will cater to what people want. Most people will probably still want apartments with parking, so most development projects will continue to have parking.

Another portion of the population doesn't have cars or are otherwise uninterested in parking. This change would make it legal for there to be development projects that cater to this set of the population.

It might be too early to say that for sure. The AMC service was created when MoviePass was still a player and was very much a response to them. I believe AMC also only committed to that pricing for a single year and we just recently passed that 1 year anniversary. Now that MoviePass is functionally dead, there is little stopping AMC from raising prices to the extent that basically kills this model for the average consumer. We might soon find ourselves back in a market similar to the early days of MoviePass when one of these unlimited subscriptions costs $30-50 and is only viable for an incredibly small group of moviegoers.
This (FS write access == game over) is usually true on Linux, but the Mac and Windows codesigning infrastructures exist to offer some protections and user warnings in this case, and they're what's being defeated by this attack.
> In-building parking is a widely available amenity amply provided by the market.

This is an odd claim to make. Regulation has historically required that it be provided in most (American) markets, hence the ample supply. I'm not sure how we could possibly know what the market would do on its own over the long term.

Requiring excessive parking will artificially and needlessly raises prices, true. But I would also be at least somewhat concerned that without sufficient regulation short term thinking on the part of builders might result in less parking than would be generally desirable.

I'm not at all convinced that urban planning should be done by market forces alone.
hacker news is a bubble of mostly middle class white male libertarians. what would you expect?
That is highly misleading. If you look at the overall per capita rates of violent death since 1776 it's clear that on average Europeans are far more violent than Americans. Limiting the count of deaths to just those that meet the legal definition of "murder" is disingenuous.
In that case you either were aware of the risk of your device breaking down in the future and have started looking into migrations or workarounds the moment the news hit, you took the risk that didn't happen and now have to deal with the consequences or you just didn't plan ahead enough.

Just keep running the older version of Windows that worked with the device. Add a couple of layers of configurations, firewalls, VPNs, traffic monitoring and whatnot inbetween to reduce the risk and don't connect the device to the internet. Your solar panel farm doesn't need to access Gmail or run Windows 10.

Your obscure SCADA device is your responsibility. The switchover to 32bit had been announced 20 years ago and the switchover to 64bit 10 years ago.

Also, if the manufacturer doesn't exist anymore, where are you going to source replacement parts?
Rehash:

- Steam has a privileged service, users can start/stop it.

- Steam's service resets a bunch of registry subkey ACLs under [HKLM\...\Valve\Steam] at startup

- Steam's service gives unprivileged users read/write access to its own keys

- Steam lets unprivileged users write to this area of the registry

- Steam's service follows registry symlinks

This is terrible. Any multi-tenant machine with Steam installed is affected and should be considered compromised.

I find the way 8chan's being grouped together as a cohesive whole in these discussions odd. 8chan couldn't be more chaotic and disparate in the kinds of people that were there. There were many different people with a huge range of beliefs. Most people that hung out there from what i could tell were just lonely and had made it their special club outside society. I never went on /pol/, but outside /pol/ plenty of people couldn't stand them. They'd spam other boards with their nonsense and i seen plenty of anons tell them to straight fuck off repeatedly. On the boards i used to use, there were far more threads that had nothing to do with politics or race than ones that were.

Hey HN! I'm Vlad, CEO and one of the co-founders of Webflow.

It was over 6 years ago now, a just several months a rejection email from YC and a few weeks from being essentially bankrupt (my daughter had an unexpected surgery while we had only catastrophic health insurance), we posted a Show HN about Webflow (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5407499). It was our last "hail mary" to show something tangible to the world before promising our partners to go back to our old jobs to actually get some income again.

Luckily, the Show HN took off like wildfire and we stuck to the #1 spot nearly all day. Tens of thousands of people signed up for our beta. This really helped us reapply to YC with tons more traction (and boundless confidence this time), and we were lucky enough to get in to the next batch.

We're now a team of over 120 people across 20 countries, serving billions of requests for tens of thousands of paying customers. I'm very confident that we wouldn't have been able to achieve this had the HN post not taken off here, and we're so thankful for the positive reception. Luckily, we didn't get those funny "I can build this in a day with some bash scripts!" kinds of comments :)

Even though it's been many years since then, we're still on the same mission to empower millions more people to build powerful websites (and increasingly, more powerful software!) without code. We believe that in the end, democratizing software creation will multiply the potential of the internet, likely by at least an order of magnitude.

A HUGE and humble thank you to the community here, and for your support way back when!
Another point is the kind of work police has to deal with. In a low crime country police almost never has to deal with criminals with weapons or guns, so they never have to fear for their lives. This means that people who don't like violence don't mind joining the police. However in USA where police have to engage in lots of violence just to do their job the people who want to join the police are very different.

The current thinking is that it is oestrogen in the water that is killing the sperm count. It is tempting to think this comes from 'the pill' but water treatment plants do remove it and the amount of women on the pill plus the amount of oestrogen pollution does not add up to cause a problem.

What is apparently going on is intensive farming, so manure:

So the new research that suggests that the swimmers don't swim as they should means there is a double whammy for the humble sperm.

I imagine that if you are breeding dogs, cows, horses or any animal of value this is a serious threat to revenue. We won't necessarily do whatever is needed to fix our own fertility but if there are profits being affected in the world of pedigree pets then something might be done.

Snopes: Enough Is Enough
We are one in many. That means we just share the influence. Many issues are not binary, and often the individual contribution to a problem can be canceled out completely by individual change. The influence may be small compared to the sum of all, but still the responsibility for the individual contribution lays completely with the individual. The comparison must be between the individual cost and the individual contribution to the problem and it's solution, not falsely to the complete problem on the scale of the society.

Even when the problem is binary, the argumentative position becomes much stronger by individual change. For example, if Europe became fully carbon neutral, it's stance would be much more powerful when it comes to these questions compared to if it continued to build new coal power plants and told other countries to stop doing that.

Nvidia Starts Publishing GPU Hardware Documentation to Help Open-Source Drivers

It's kind of ridiculous.

Hopefully it's changing.
NVIDIA has released some MIT licensed documentation of their hardware interfaces, and it sounds like there is more on the way. This could be a big help to the open source Nouveau driver, although information on re-clocking some of the newer cards to get the most performance out of them is not (yet) available. AMD has long been doing this with their cards, though their releases have been both more complete and more timely. Time will tell if NVIDIA gets to parity with them or not. It is AMD's support of open source that have made me a customer.

Wow, that comment was misunderstood... I use Linux, don't use Windows, and still think it's obvious that there is a certain feature set, i. e. the classic consumer desktop, that the community tried and failed to compete for. Of course Linux is a perfectly fine OS, but it again took a commercial effort (Android) to reach mainstream adoption on mobile.

Please read this in the context of the analogy: the OS is the science, the UI is typesetting/distribution/etc.
I was always wondering who was on payroll at AT&T for this.

The Norwegian postal service almost ripped me a new one for having the gall to ship a microcontroller, a thermometer and a couple of accelerometers to myself; apparently, buried somewhere deep in some regulation is the fact that shipping live datalogging equipment is a big no-no.

Thank you! Are there other examples of new improvements to the development process you've come across? Currently we're positioning Gold Fig to live alongside source control and IaaS. However, we feel there's a huge opportunity to bring the same level of rigor that "version control" encodes to all the (traditionally) non-technical SaaS, enrich existing process (e.g. Gold Fig's log can add more color to your PagerDuty alerts), etc.

This is clickbait nonsense. Unfortunately, because it's so popular to hate on Electron these days, it's going to get a lot of traction on HN and elsewhere. The premise of the blog post is:

> It’s important to note that this technique requires access to the machine, which could either be a shell or physical access to it

I mean... what? I can literally do code injection on (almost) any application I'm running given that I have shell or physical access to the machine. It's like the author never heard of Detours[1] or VTable injection[2]. This is a low-effort clickbaity post that brings nothing to the table to serious security researchers or even hobbyist hackers.

It's a shame, too, because there are a lot of very interesting techniques out there for injection and remote execution, but they are OS-dependent and require a lot of research. Clearly, a more interesting post would have been too much effort for OP and instead we're going to pile on Electron.

PS: ASAR code-signing is not fool-proof, as we can still do in-memory patching, etc. Game hackers have been patching (signed) OpenGL and DirectX drivers for decades. It's a very common technique.

This does not match my experience. I have worked in law for 20 years and hired (and fired) many lawyers for top tier companies. I saw some variant of an IQ tests for every one of them. As general rule they were not impressive and significantly below the scores we saw for programmers. The verbal comprehension was generally solid or better, the others not so much.

One thing to note is that we're also creating visual abstractions over common things that are hand-coded with JS.

This (from a quick reading, I might have misunderstood) seems to be a system for categorising laws, but not exactly what I was talking about: when you look for something, you're still referring to individual laws, by law number or popular name.

Instead, when you want to read a computer program, you don't look at individual commits to the code base, you look at its files. Commits are more or less irrelevant, what counts is the most recent version of a set of documents, and each commit might create, modify or delete more than one document.

It seems only a change in perspective, the end result is the same; but reasoning in terms of documents with well-organised names and responsibilities, describing processes and data and designed for reusability, is much easier and more compact.
In my view everyone should learn to code let alone lawyers.
The Gold Fig founders know what they're talking about here. Vikrum ran devops for Firebase from the first server in 2011 up to millions of users after the Google acquisition. Greg was the TL for the Firebase Realtime Database, our flagship product that powers a huge number of apps. They're experts, not only because of what they learned building Firebase, but also because they got insight into how our big customers ran their services and teams.

Vikrum actually built a browser plugin at Firebase that was simple but incredibly useful. It color-coded cloud settings pages for different environments (prod, staging, dev) to prevent someone from accidentally changing the config in prod when they didn't mean to. We required the whole Firebase team to use it, and it honestly saved us from multiple downtime incidents.

If you're managing a service, I really suggest you try Gold Fig out. You can get the benefit of everything that Greg and Vikrum have learned (painfully from years of real experience) about how to run services and be safe with your config!
