No.

The argument is, that a random process should not be a world into itself; there should be a way to check on what it is doing. It does not have to be network based, it can be done by another process on the local machine. Things like DNS should be done by the OS, with hooks for the monitoring. It should be not be done by the application, with zero transparency to the owner. The system resolver, on the other hand, can use DoH/DoT/ESNI/whatever.

Giving random processes unlimited, uncontrolled and uncontrollable access to Internet is disaster waiting to happen. Quite similar to what happened to applications on Android.

so let me elaborate a bit, all the people that work on this agencies are employees, they are not politicians.

If a politician influenced by a lobbyist start to question the decision of an agency, have hearings, grill the management on the reasons they decided to waste tax payers money, etc. that is not fun for those employees.

There is no incentive for that trouble and people try to avoid it as much as possible.

This phenomenon, whereby a person who knows the "trick" to solve a puzzle cannot accurate gauge its difficulty, seems to extend beyond mathematics. Adventure games (including text-based, parser-driven, and point-and-click) suffer badly from this problem. They are chock-full of puzzles that only make sense in hindsight (if at all). They can be really fun though!
Nope, the district had no idea they were doing that until after the firing. I did hear the actual reason was because they were considering joining a union, but I didn’t stick around long enough to dig any deeper.
Crowdsource. Pay people to run an app when they go around DC, that records constantly from their mic, and uploads it to the cloud along with their location. I’m sure someone has already thought of this!
I disagree. There has been so much anti-facebook hype over the last few years, yet many of the people I know, smart people, have it on/open/in-the-background 24/7, and instagram, and a hundred other services shipping their personal data. These people don't read about online privacy or ruminate on the consequences of their actions, because everyone around them does the same. For younger people, it's worse. Their entire lives are uploaded. They have been programmed to accept this as reality, and it would probably seem like social suicide to disconnect. Outside of places like HN, conversations about privacy and censorship, in my experience, are only ever instigated by me.

And now the world seems to be in a mad rush to bug their houses. Obviously there are plenty of people who are repulsed by this, but we're all swept up in the surveillance state anyway. If people start to get the idea that these surveillance devices are bad, they'll be reminded to trust their govt with a brand new terror event.

It's more that a lot of California's spending is redistribution "because it can". It's home to several major national (agriculture, defense, finance) and global (tech, entertainment) industries. This funnels a lot of wealth from elsewhere into the world into California, making the people involved in these industries pretty rich. The nearly-socialist politics is a way of maintaining social stability in the face of extreme income inequality introduced by these global industries.

The comparison with Venezuela isn't all that off the mark, structurally. Venezuela also spent dramatically on social programs and redistribution because it could, with an extremely lucrative source of foreign cash. When the gravy train dried up, the whole system collapsed, which is probably what'll happen to California when the tech & entertainment industries dry up (and did happen in 2001 in the wake of the dot-com bust). California probably has several decades before there's a reckoning though: networks of human capital like you have in Silicon Valley and Hollywood are difficult to move or replicate elsewhere.
I'd imagine the priority might be:

1) Microphone all possible tables and have them record/signal when key words are overheard

2) Befriend/seduce/bribe wait staff and train them to roam around in optimal patterns to catch conversation

3) Some kind of subtle hearing amplification/focusing device

4) Record all conversations using a device on your person and process them later

Yes I think everyone understands that’s the point he’s trying to make, it’s just that he’s doing it in such a vague and generalized way and trying to pass it off as actionable advice that it becomes almost comical.

I find that hard to believe as Google’s definition of privacy is not mine. I believe Google could be awesome if they wanted, but it’s in conflict with their business mode.
Sure, but they believe the market isn't at the top. Opportunity cost could continue to increase until they cash out.

That is, maybe they could sell for $10 million now vs making $200k per year on parking, but if they hold on for another 5 years, the offers could rise to $15 million.
gpu just means lots of cores. the cores are composed of execution units too.

I can vaguely rememeber some recent iterative AI of some kind who had to produce a functioning circuit to do XYZ, and the final netlist that it produced for the FPGA was so full of latches, taking advantage of weird timing skew in the FPGA fabric and stuff, and no engineer could understand the netlist as sensical, but the circuit worked... I suppose when there's that level of non-imperative design, you can truly call it both declarative, and magic.

I live in an apartment. Having a Nest thermostat installed was not my choice -- I would not have opted for that myself, but alas, my apartment complex installed them in every apartment. I have chosen not to connect it to any network. I've heard speculation that we're not far off from having hard social-discussions about the rights of renters -- what is the relationship between tenants and landlords going to look like in regards to smart devices?
> I had to google what guile was I'll certainly be trying to avoid it now.

By avoiding Guile or Wingo's otherwise instructive technical notes (see, e.g., https://wingolog.org/archives/2017/06/27/growing-fibers), aren't you likewise conflating character with merit?

I've never used Guile (I'm invested in Lua), but I like to follow the development. It's an interesting and high-quality project.
I loved my Nest thermostat when I first bought it. I could change the set point with my phone without getting out of bed, or set the house to the right temperature before I got home. It would automatically go into energy-saving mode if nobody was home. I could track my long-term energy usage with an app on my phone.

That was all very nice, but then Nest blew it. They kept forcing firmware updates to the thermostat that I had no control over. Some of them bricked the device for a period of time; some merely changed the UI so that options on the thermostat moved around or literally disappeared. I finally got fed up and reset the thing and refused to give it my wifi password. Then Google bought Nest which made me doubly sure I'll never connect the thing again.

Now it just works as an ordinary dumb thermostat. A rather expensive dumb thermostat, but it does the job. The extra features that came from connectivity are not worth the company's disrespect for my right to control the devices in my home.
I'd argue that depends entirely on the contents of the telemetry, which don't appear to be a part of this assessment. Besides (since this isn't about defaults), if you're configuring your browser to disable telemetry couldn't you just as well configure your firewall to block it?

Automatic updates also tend to leak information by design.

But anyway, this has nothing to do with my larger point. A good checklist would certainly have lots of boxes nobody ticks, this one was clearly built around firefox feature lists (and maybe others, but not chrome as site isolation is left out).

When it comes to long-term storage of art, damage can be calculated in more ways than whether a piece of art is noticeably defaced.

The biggest threat to these pieces lies in being stored outside of a climate, light, and humidity-controlled environment. When the lifespan of a thing is hundreds or thousands of years, this matters just as much.

However, if the museum doesn't normally keep its stored pieces in a controlled environment, then this should be no different.

But kudos to these organizations for trusting the students enough to do this.
Among those examples, it's interesting that Ukraine would gladly either prosecute or extradite Firtash -- a citizen of Ukraine, but Austria does not let either to happen. And I think that it speaks heaps of Austria and its business and political elite's connections to Russia.

Ask HN: Where to get tax advice as US-UK migrant on US/UK stock option exercise?
I'm a US Citizen living in London, so taxable by both HMRC and the IRS. The past few years, I've been working as a mid-level software engineer for a British YC startup. It was incorporated in Delaware but mainly operates via its entity in Britain. Within 90 days of leaving, I exercised options that I earned by doing work entirely in Britain. I paid dollars from my US bank account and received stock in the US entity.

I'd like to be more certain of the tax implications of my choice to do so.

How would I best search for where to get advice on this?
Yes, he should have addressed something with head of sales. He should have recognized the coming downturn and stopped expanding his staff. He should have done other things. His gut was telling him this.

But he didn't. He delegated the space problem so he didn't have to think about it anymore. And it cost him $30M that he would desperately need not long later (read The Hard Thing About Hard Things for that story).

It's not about ignoring evidence that the market is turning. It's not that specific. It's that your spidey-sense, for lack of a better word - your gut, your sense of fear - is telling you that something is a problem. You can then either engage that problem, or avoid that problem. And if you avoid it, you will screw up.

But it's incredibly difficult to face our gut fear. So we don't do it.
The comment you are replying to is referring to Melanotan and you are referring to Melatonin. Two very different things (but the same caution about injecting peptides should apply to both)
As you might have guess, absolutely not my experience at all. But as explained otherwise, I'm in situation where "bad" data just keep coming in (and "bad" just mean "data that exercises a path were a runtime error will happen because of a typo that the compiler did not catch.) So "let it crash" means "let it crash again", and I don't see the obvious solution...

But again, I'm completely ready to hear that it's just my setup, or how we failed to build the app.

Just wanted to confirm that it's completely possible to shoot yourself in the foot, which I'm surprised hardly anyone mention when talking about elixir.

Anyone interested should give it a try.
Yes, and this is one of the areas where functional programming really shines. An imperative program is defined as a series of ordered steps and the compiler can't (in general) reorder steps to optimize use of resources because the steps could have arbitrary side-effects.[1] The FP version is essentially a dependency graph which constrains the order of operations without mandating a specific final order. The pre-heated oven is needed for baking but not for the batter, so these parts can automatically be evaluated in parallel just by enabling the multithreaded runtime.[2]

[1] Certain primitive operations can be reordered but that depends on the compiler having access to the entire program. A call to a shared library function is an effective optimization barrier for any access to non-local data due to potential side effects.

[2] For the purpose of this example I'm assuming the unused `oven` variable was meant to be passed in to the `bake` function.

> it is possible YC does not think we will be a billion dollar company

Most VCs always emphasize that they invest in the team and not just the idea. Ideas always evolve for startups. You guys not only monetized your MVP very quickly, but also have shown that you are hustlers and work very fast. Even if your idea "in current form" doesn't generate billion dollars, but you have high potential as a team to find a path to success.

I worked in early stage startup few years ago, their original idea didn't show huge success but they kept improving until they eventually found a path to huge success and then acquired by large company. The improvement all revolved around the same concept (which was an audio app)

IMO, the fact that YC didn't even invite you for the second round means that they need to really work on their selection process.

I worked for a self-sustaining government entity for a few years. There was no direct appropriation, all funds re recovered via fees. We were able to compete successfully with commercial entities in a variety of ways.

A big advantage is overhead. If the work scales out, government employees get paid less, especially executives. The disadvantage was that you couldn’t make money to re-invest, and capitalizing new services was difficult.

.gov orgs get a lot of grief, but if you compare them to an average large company, they aren’t as awful as most people think.

The Plan 9 source license was $1,000,000 USD (1.6M today). Not exactly pocket change. There was also the problem that Bell Labs didn't have a marketing team. Lucent tried to market Inferno and it did make it into a few Lucent products.

If anyone is interested in Plan 9 then head over to 9front.org and grab an iso. That or there is an accompanying fork of inferno named Purgatorio of which there is now a docker image.

You are correct, but this is not the whole picture I feel. Yes, people with power still desire more power. But it's the same drive that fueled all the great pioneers and explorers of the world. Very few if any stopped after the first breakthrough and said: "Alright, I can stop now".

I consider this one of the great distinguishing features of the human race. For some people, enough is never enough. Yes, obsession has it's dark side, but without these people, we'd not be where we are today. The human race needed this trait to push the envelope. We needed (and for a while we'll still need) boneheaded bastards who won't take no for an answer.

Sometimes this obsession gets us dictators who ruin the lives of millions, sometimes it gets us breakthroughs that improve the lives of billions.
OP sounds like a voyeur
true, well that's complicated too, as that ALU likely runs microcode or has a lookup table, but presuming boolean hardware logic underlaying it somewhere, THAT level is declarative, not sure about what functional composition is involved here, but declarative programming of boolean hardware where the actual imperative activity is occurring.

maybe the physics is imperative too lol

Google Pixel 4 Face Unlock works if eyes are shut
While I agree with the overall negative opinion of overzealous stored procedure usage, to echo your last sentence, I've come to realize many of these problems are completely solvable with tooling. A personal anecdote, and please excuse the self-plug:

I'm the author of an infrastructure-as-code tool for MySQL/MariaDB schema management, Skeema [1]. Basically it allows you to store CREATE statements in a repo, and you can diff/push/pull between the repo and live DB environments. Originally the tool only supported tables, as my personal MySQL experience skews towards social networking companies that banned stored procs outright.

Earlier this year a company generously sponsored development of stored proc/func support in Skeema. And although I've long been a stored proc skeptic, I have to say my opinion has softened considerably after building this functionality. It essentially solves the first 3 bullets you've listed here: allowing storage of CREATE PROCEDURE statements in a git repo; ability to diff the current state of the repo against any live db environment; ability to push the current repo state to any live db environment. And the 4th bullet just depends on your IDE's support for different SQL / T-SQL / PLSQL dialects.

I still have some scalability and maintainability concerns around extensive use of stored procs (especially in MySQL/MariaDB), but nonetheless found this experience to be unexpectedly eye-opening. My perspective went from "stored procs are an operational nightmare, avoid" to "huh these are actually quite useful and totally manageable given a solid development/deployment story."
