Programming decisions around names get encoded operationally as well: within the last decade I missed a flight when a major airline's system did not accept my hyphenated last name at the check-in kiosk. I was then told by customer service I did not need the hyphen in my name -- their system was correct, and my view of my name was not.

That is part of the problem, but it costs almost nothing to spam calls.

So even if you track someone down, what will you do if they are dirt poor?
This kind of thing is why it's important to challenge the framing of people as "illegal"; citizenship is an administrative category, and abusive governments can find all sorts of excuses to end or revoke it.
As far as I'm concerned people who violate "3. People have, at this point in time, exactly one canonical full name." can go fuck themselves. How is that even supposed to work? Same with names that can't be represented by Unicode code points. How is my system supposed to handle them if they can't even input it?
I agree with you but I think it’s useful to walk through the traditional model to understand why so many people think this, and why it totally fails in software in practice. In traditional safety engineering a wide ranging fault tree analysis (FTA) or other analysis models detail every potential fault in a system and provides estimated percentages of what types of faults occur over a total system lifespan and the system isn’t something that is considered safe until sufficient mitigations are put in place to allow the whole system to drop below the required threshold for a certain criticality of incident over its lifespan. This work is legitimately awesome and has allowed an amazing amount of reliability engineering that keeps us safe in so many weird ways each day as we do simple things like walk through an automatic door or drive down a freeway or enter any large structure.

Unfortunately none of these models assume the presence of an attack or malicious entity. So they painstaking provide a model for making sure your bridge doesn’t fall down on its own but are generally pretty useless for ensuring someone can’t blow it up. This is considered fine in a lot of safety critical engineering work which is closer to reliability engineering than security engineering.

Malicious behavior in the “digital realm” (I hate this phrase but here we are) has such a low barrier to entry that every single one of these models fall apart there and a threat model which doesn’t assume potentially malicious actors and behavior is something we’ve come to realize is basically negligent. The pure explosion in complexity and states possible in the FTA when analyzing software security with actual adversaries makes them... not particularly useful. In addition the sharply binary outcomes (if you change the bit you just outright win) in so much of software design make it really hard to apply anything resembling traditional engineering controls or mitigations. Where with a bridge you can beef up some concrete and the numbers which affect the outcome change, in software you can’t really beef up security in a real sense by just removing some but not all of the software weaknesses.

We could decide that none of these things work well together, but I actually think the futility of trying to construct an FTA model for software leads to some very supportable and radical conclusions about how to actually build secure systems. Many of which involve just distrusting most software pieces entirely (or carefully and selectively trusting which tasks) and looking at high level FTAs to understand how to compose larger systems that maintain some key properties or state without ever trusting say, the entire codebase of an operating system kernel.
Sure, because that totally would never be abused to facilitate illegal payments or to launder funds.
Given how critical preventing future intent writes is to the protocol to ensure safety during recovery, it'd be nice to have more detail on how that works. Calling it an in memory data structure doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

sure it's always frustrating because it does nothing to change the narrative of what's repeated outside of Iceland regardless of the truth.

>"At 32, Stefansson is the most famous thief ever to emerge from this polite and friendly island, ranked by the Global Peace Index as the world’s most peaceful nation."

Patently false. So far our most famous criminal would be (Tomas)[https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/07/world/europe/iceland-murd...] or runner up for any of the various banking / cartel that siphoned money out of the country during the crash. Sindri doesn't even register with most people here except as a petty thug. Bjarni Ben the old prime minister or Sigmundur David both appeared in the Panama Papers here as well.

>It was cryptocurrency, ironically, that helped save Iceland after the bankers bankrupted it.
I have no idea where the author got this but Cryptocurrency has provided any material benefit to Iceland in any form or shape, I say this even though I'm a BTC advocate. First it was our fishing industry which was able to sell high abroad and return with Euros to exchange for ISK and then it was the tourism boom (as much as we all hate it here) from 2014-onwards. Crypto currency mining here doesn't employ anyone, doesn't get aggressively taxed (it should) and often gets industrial market rates on large enough consumption (just like the aluminum smelters).

Oh and to correct another misunderstood thing about Iceland we get around 70% of our power generation from HYDROpower not Geothermal like everyone things (that goes towards home heating mostly). Which means .......Dams, lots and lots of dams flooding areas of Iceland and destroying the nature the tourists come to see.

> Today, Bitcoin mines consume more energy than all of Iceland’s homes combined.

This is just repeated ad-nauseam abroad now more than any other statement and its entirely attributed to a single electrical engineer for the electric producer company who was commenting on if the building trend kept at the same rate back in 2018. It didn't obviously but any idiot journalist now stumbles across some _other_ article saying it so they just repeat now too. Smelting consumes FAR more electricity here than any other industry.

These are just a handful, nobody likes these guys here, no one is cheering for them we're mostly embarrassed that they're gleefully unaware of badly they make Iceland look international as the posterboys for big, dumb, meat-head rubes, that were used by a foriegn criminal who never got caught. Classic Icelandic hnakkar.
No, it's just an example. Probably a poor example. In reality I don't often meet vegans, but people get upset for all kinds of reasons / statements, most commonly for political ones which are to be avoided on HN (and real life) (and are quite easy to avoid, if you want to).

Another (non-political) one that comes up fairly often, is that I don't think it's reasonable to congratulate people when they decide to get married... it's a decision after all, nothing to do with achievement and/or luck (for most people I know at least, who aren't extremely lonely to the extent that finding anyone that tolerates them is an achievement... in which case, "congratulations" would be more in order), and if anything, they should be warned (as many marriages end in failure). But if you say that, you're the asshole.
Interestingly, that's no longer correct.

Historically, yes 465 has been deprecated several years ago. But as many ISP and the largest email services kept using it, the IANA had to change its tune and 'resurrected' port 465 in this RFC.

It is funny: the RFC itself describes that as a wart, but reality is a harsh mistress.

Section 3-3 of RFC 8314 from 2018 has the details.

I don't disagree that Chrome had been (and is still, due to the personpower) more secure than Firefox. But a gap between both and IE is much wider [1] than a gap between Chrome and Firefox and the latter didn't affect the recommendation. Chrome was much more secure than IE and had a good UX, that's it.

[1] Qualitatively: both didn't really support ActiveX. Quantatitvely: even back in 2010 (where Chrome's Flash sandboxing and Firefox's out-of-process NPAPI "isolation" was still at their infancy) both crashed much less often than IE.

Appreciate the counter-anecdote. There is definitely some individual variance between locations depending on local management, overall demographic factors, etc. It wasn't my intention to suggest that every Walmart and every Target are always equally desirable shopping experiences. The main idea is that except in places where Walmart is specifically artificially constrained, it's just as likely to have a bad store or a good store as the next massive conglomerate. :)

"First" and "last" is a wrong representation anyway, because it assumes people always write their names in that order.

That breaks for chinese, japanese, korean, and probably multiple other types of names.

s/first name/given name

s/last name/surname

But this has it own issues, like assuming people have either a given name or a surname in the first place.

I became interested in the air campaigns of WW2 only recently, after (re)discovering a family member's service as B-17 bomber pilot. Having fought in combat myself, there's one story from the Battle of Britain which made me immediately grok the intensity of the battle and the tremendous strain under which the RAF pilots continually fought the numerically-superior Luftwaffe: Returning to base from fending off an attack, one fighter pilot was able to land his plane, but did not taxi off the runway. The ground and medical crews rushed out to his plane, recognizing the symptoms of a pilot who must have been grievously injured in the sky. Upon climbing the wing of the fighter and opening the canopy, the medics discovered that the pilot had fallen asleep at the controls immediately after landing his plane, but was otherwise uninjured.

There's a tacit component of this story which will be difficult for someone to understand who hasn't themselves been in combat. There is simply no proxy for warfare and this is nothing like playing a sport or running or whatever until you cannot. You'll just have to trust me when I tell you that to fall asleep so readily in those conditions -- especially as a healthy young fighter pilot -- truly speaks to the intensity of the combat that happened in the defense of Great Britain (and the tenacity of her pilots).
Now I'm curious, what is the difference between automated ref counting and "vanilla" ref counting? And of these two, where does the C++ shared pointer fit?

If you think names are hard, try email addresses. Most complex validator I ever wrote, and then had to switch off lots of it because email addresses in the wild don't actually follow the RFC...

In school we had a guy whose last name was 'Van', a fairly common prefix for names in NL, which tends to be used like this 'van den Broek' or 'van der Berg'.

Teachers would ask for his name, he'd say 'Jan Van' and they'd invariably ask 'Jan van Wat?'. So he eventually gave up and answered 'Jan van Wat' right of the bat, which would leave the teachers even more confused because there was no such person on their lists of students...

Given that we know at least one guy whose first name is Van (Morrison) it is theoretically possible there is a person called Van Van somewhere.
Well, my name cannot be accurately represented in Latin characters. Most people in Taiwan adopt an English name because the Mandarin one is hard on computers and communicating with English-speaking businesses.

While at school I went on a group booked international trip with most of the year, including someone unrelated but with the same surname.

In both directions we had to check-in together and claim to be brothers, because whatever booking system had somehow assumed we were, and for whatever reason it was more important (or perhaps easier and without consequence) (the staff told us) to go along with that booking mistake than to be honest.
But I probably use the same e-commerce sites as you! I'm genuinely curious: where do you live that ebay doesn't deliver?

Miners can pick any address when they assemble a new block to have the new coins mined to. They make deals ahead of time for where to send these. This is definitely a thing in China and if you look at my profile you can see I know what I’m talking about.

I wasn’t saying Coinbase was named for the premium, I was saying they were named for that piece of blockchain trivia as an interesting aside.
> No one knows the actual cost of French Nuclear. France has yet to dismantle one of its end of life reactor.

This.

The sad thing is that the article is probably right about nuclear being preferrable over fossil fuels due to relative priorities of global warming vs. nuclear accidents and garbage disposal.

But this cost comparison against renewables is just comically miscalculated.
As someone with a heavy background, it would break a fair bit of the PSTN - while moves are in place to change the technical limitations of the PSTN that prevent this kind of verification, they're not complete yet, and will take several more years to implement fully.

The reality is that, unlike yourself, most people replace "learning new things" with "actively avoiding learning new things" at some point after leaving high school. Correcting one of these people can snap them out of their self-imposed rut just long enough to correct a bad habit.
I think it's quite hard to pick out which groups will end up being the scapegoat du jour, although there are some hints. I think the hammer is much more likely to come down on Muslims than Jews in the west, for instance.

Whichever group it is, some wealthy people will probably get caught up in it and flee the country.
While I agree with you on the other points, I think if trying vaping is largely displacing trying cigarettes then it's fair to compare it to smoking.

If vaping were as harmful but less addictive or more addictive but not harmful, then it might fill the role more safely. If it is neither addictive nor harmful and a new generation of teenagers knows that, then vaping can't replace cigarettes any more than carrots can.
Nicorette is over the counter.

And I don't understand the logic that harm reduction devices/drugs should be less available than the more dangerous drugs...

People totally overlook the fact that cigarette butts are also one of the biggest problems in environmental pollution [1].

The market has come up with a solution, vaping and e-cigarettes that are safer already and do not damage the environment as much.

I am strongly anti-prohibition and anti-banning as that leads to more problems in the black market and provides regulatory capture for big fish, cigarettes are fine as people choose to do with their body what they choose as it is their Right to Body. But if there is a better solution with vaping, and people are going to do it no matter what, banning and prohibitions will only lead to more involvement of mafias/cartels on the black market and give markets to big fish.

This is a blue ocean market and about to open up massively when prohibition on marijuana ends, lots of big fish and mafias/cartels fighting to win it.
Prohibitionists/authoritarians with agendas are just their pawns in this effort.

The President looks to be doing an Executive Order soon to limit vaping, just like all the Republican governors that did it. [2][3] Same play different day, big fish win, "think of the children" authoritarianism and big fish disaster capitalist raiding of the blue ocean that will be immense when marijuana is fully legalized and vaping is suddenly "safe" when the bigs run the show.

This is America.

People not thinking it is about market power and money are naive as hell.

You think this is for health reasons? laughable.

Same with all bans and prohibitions, makes it more unsafe and more lucrative for mafias/cartels because there is decreased supply and increased demand, price goes up, in comes the underground and more danger.

This research is to find cheaper catalyst for electrolysis. The efficiency is good with expensive catalysts, but the cost of the catalysts makes scaling up hard. They want to find cheaper catalysts so that the use of electrolysis to produce hydrogen can be increased.

> Holding the phone manufacturer responsible for code I wrote is not in fact a natural thing to do.

I'm sorry but I'm really struggling to understand what you mean by this. What hardware should I be running the code I write on without fear of voiding the warranty.

If it's the fact I wrote the code that constitutes voiding the warranty, exactly who's code should we be permitted to run on hardware we've purchased? Only code which has been written by/provided by the manufacturer themselves?

What's the precedent for this absurd restriction?

Most of our media, especially mainstream, isn't that on the nose with tropes. If you go for e.g. anime, you'll fine an entire genre of "looser viewers can emphasis with suddenly finds himself in another world were he is the greatest". Isekai, in short. Some of those shows are great. But mostly absent is having to work hard for success. Probably cause it would ruin the power fantasy.

Harry potter also employs this trope in the beginning. But builds upon it beyond the wish fulfillment.

LotR? He literally inherited the ring and was pushed into the adventure. It gets better from there, but his past doesn't really matter. If mentioned, I can't remember anything except some reason for the other hobbits to tag along. Could have happened to anyone. It certainly doesn't convey any kind of message like "you have to work hard to find great adventures in life". No reason not to enjoy a movie/show/franchise, but should probably not be entirely absent from a media diet, either.

It’s a very good question which I presume has been solved in many places. Shares in public companies, stocks, property values etc.

If someone working two $8/h jobs to pay for rent and food has to pay $450 that has serious repercussions. If someone who owns a rental property for example is to experience an incentive of a similar size, then the incentive ought to be proportional maybe to 2-3% of the value of the property?

If we’re OK with poor people’s lives being ruined by a speeding ticket then maybe we could be OK with a millionaire having to sell some shares or even property to cover a similar offense.

And, the police would get their funding quotas faster ;)

Of course legislation like this is unlikely to cross the Gilens/Page threshold.

here’s a summary of their Princeton study finding that US “democracy” works only when serving the oligarchy:

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/princeton-experts-say...
IMO this is a good question. It's pretty tempting to hijack an existing infrastructure such as the US army to push back an unhappy people should they become an annoyance, and the US army is by most standards, pretty scary.

But I think the US has a few more steps before reaching that stage. Making sure people are obedient is a process that started long ago, by denying them healthcare, housing or education, unless they are disciplined enough to work and not to question the system; while regulating in favor of well entrenched oligarchy.

I think the best way to coordinate is by starting cultural trends. Sudden change and revolution almost never lead to anything, and if we look at the history of the US, it's "power" is exactly that: cultural change. The tech "class" is already attempting this, but I think the approach and message are wrong and don't resonate with enough people, to create something at the scale of the hippie era.

So the US really needs the US to save itself, but by developing an ever stronger middle class, and mechanisms to protect each other's health, while allowing for money to move around freely. And I think tech can be a part of that solution (no, I am not thinking encrypted chat, AI to hack the gov, or other non american kinds of weapons, but rather genuine solutions). The more power they have, the more they can keep the government in check.
