There are a lot of places in the world that have little government regulation and a huge housing crisis. What’s the evidence for government being the problem, or for getting rid of it being the solution?

Nobody is being forced to have a car charging outlet in the garage. From your link: “The rule specifies that one- and two-family dwellings have a service panel with capacity for a 40-amp circuit--enough for a 32-amp charging station--and conduit that can support wiring for an 80-amp circuit.

“The estimated cost of compliance is reportedly around $50, a fraction of the cost of adding the appropriate electrical service and wiring later on.”

And you know Teslas aren’t the only electric cars, and that more brands are on the way, right?
"It's too bad these aren't allowed any more. "

It is a mystery to me anyway, how people can seriously have those laws (and much more) while considering themself to be in the land of the free.

Now sadly the rest of the world is not necessarily better with this (for example the cologne cathedral, everybody is very proud of it, but I read even government officials admitted that today you could not build such a monument again, due to building regulations), but at least they usually don't claim to be and lead the land of the free.
I think the audience is 3rd world countries that don't have reliable internet, electricity and so on. They can use these paper notes instead of United States dollars or their domestic currency which might be in hyperinflation.
Bonkers New Indie Game Lets You Mash Up Different Genres
The NFC challenge only takes a second and ATM like machines could probably go much quicker than that. A broader goal with ARX is to bake bounties into "licensing fees" (or accurately, manufacturing costs) for secure elements that would validate keys couldn't actually be extracted.

Putting (very) public bounties at various reward tiers lets one establish something like a demand curve but for security.
Sand Property is Sand Theft. Also, in the case of Singapore, not all of it was used to make Singapore larger, some was used to resurface Marina Bay (formerly muddy) with nice clean sand, so it could act as a strategic freshwater reserve
So let me get this straight. We currently consider it poor practice if passwords are stored for authentication purposes in anything but heavily salted PBKDF2, bcrypt, or sometimes scrypt. Yet it's okay to just send SHA256 unsalted hashes to web services for the purposes of verifying that those same SHA256 hashes aren't already stored?

It's good that Google is encrypting these hashes, but come on, really? Surely there has to be a better way than just shipping off unsalted password hashes to a centralized location.

Edit: Okay, unsalted scrypt for the password. Thanks for the clarification :)

Don't you have similar worries in (at least top tech) companies as well?

What did you have anxiety over that is so different? I guess in grad school you worry about papers getting accepted/rejected, potentially funding running out, failing to produce interesting research and dropping out, this type of thing right?

In companies you have performance reviews, promotions and layoffs, office politics etc. to worry about.
VPN users are an exception. I would think it would be best to use a proximate node to reduce latency.

For corporation, there is another form of targeting (account based targeting) that relies on IP ranges. I believe DemandBase covers this specific use case.

In the infographic, they use Scrypt, I imagine with an expensive cost.
I agree as well. I find the idea of a crypto-backed paper note to be very intriguing and very useful as well.

I think most others here are simply jumping too far ahead of what is being done here. This is a proof of concept type project. It can certainly be improved going forward, I'm sure.

Wiki either mistakenly changed the title from "Beach Theft" to "Sand theft" or doesn't understand the issue.

Sand theft is common. It's normally stolen by illegally dredging rivers.

Singapore 'stealing' sand from Asian countries has been systematically going on for years.

It's the same as theft of wood. Everywhere where there are corrupt government officials, it's organised crime, sometimes people die over it, and it's easy to go watch while having a beer.

Beach theft, which the wiki currently predominantly talks about is different.

Where are you getting your definitions? I have never seen "line rate" used to refer to packets per second.
"A UC task force is currently assessing the value of the SAT and ACT in admissions, with recommendations expected before the end of the school year, and the university will make a decision after that, said a spokeswoman from the UC president’s office."

You would hope the UC system would already have a very good understanding of the value of all of the elements they utilize in admissions decisions. If they don't know the value, why are they still using it?
Hello HN, I recently launched my side project, Domestica.

It's a comprehensive household management platform that I've been building for the past two years--instead of multiple apps to manage every niche household function, why not combine and integrate everything? The MVP focuses on budgeting, cooking, and shopping, and I have a lot of other ideas for areas to expand in (task management will most likely come next). It's currently a SaaS solution, but I'm actively looking for feedback on how best to deliver a hosted solution.

From a tech stack standpoint, I chose Go for the backend and TypeScript/Mithril for the frontend. I plan on writing a blog post around each of these technologies and the pros/cons for a MVP, but I found Mithril to be an absolute pleasure to work with. The API is very small, and the outputted files are quite compact and fast. I opted to go with my own CSS after battling CSS frameworks, and it allowed me to create the interface I wanted--clean, minimal, and responsive.
I think the big point to get here is that having digital crypto vs physical crypto is not mutually exclusive.

I don't like the direction of "popular websites are exempt, small websites are restricted".

Chrome has blocked autoplaying videos with sound for most sites except a small, hardcoded list that includes YouTube.

This means that if you create a YouTube competitor today, you are playing at a technical disadvantage. Or if you're just hosting videos on your own personal website!

What if Google's algorithms classify your new startup as "potential phishing", because users are re-using their own passwords on your site? How can you appeal? What recourse do you have against Big G's algorithm?
Same here. I needed almost 10 seconds to recognize the chair.

Just wait until someone figures out that rising sea levels in the countries near Singapore were due to faulty measurements caused by sand theft.
Still up for debate actually. IRS does consider them property but other agencies consider it currency
I mean, the fourth amendment says a lot about warrants, both in the abstract and in regard to probable cause.

You're right that there are warrantless exceptions (most notably, Horton, which clarified the plain view doctrine), but I'm not aware of any case law that compels a third-party to break encryption/build a backdoor in order to satisfy a warrant. That was the genesis of the Apple v. FBI case. Even Lavabit, the rulings were largely procedural and didn't get to the merits of Lavabit's claims against the government's attempts to coerce a service provider into turning into a surveillance apparatus.
While this stuff can be cheap, it sounds insane. I understand that it can vary from state to state but American building code and zoning sounds so over regulated to European countries. I wonder why there isn't more pushback from people since Americans tend to prefer liberties and freedom.
So is crypto. The centralisation is in the algorithm that enforces scarcity as you mine more of the currency, slowing down the creation of new coins and the speed of verifying transactions. The only difference is that it isn’t a government or federal reserve doing the centralising.

Then a company like Coinbase shows up and uses their resources to dominate the market as the de-facto app change. Centralised again.

Crypto is just as abstract as the currency we currently use so only functions as legit currency because people are willing to buy and sell it from one side of the world to the other. Bitcoin for example has a single valuation, despite being decentralised.

If you want true decentralisation then you’re looking at the pre-currency barter economy.
Not having that property so far hasn't proved to be useful in the real world.
Because "regular cash" requires trust and that trust has been routinely violated by various governments of the world so I would rather have trustless currency instead.

I trust math, science and verified algorithms rather than people or governments.
Because CONS cells aren't used only for lists, but are fundamental data type used as building blocks for few other things.

As such, they are required to hold any value or reference possible, and aren't exactly amenable to different format.

There is one technique which had somewhat large use, CDR-coding, based in the idea that you can tag a cell in a way that tells the system that the next field isn't a reference to a CONS cell, but the CAR of one, and thus linearize lists in memory. However, doing it fast requires a custom cpu so you can resolve this fast in transparent way, as well as it turned out to not give much benefit. However, widening gap between cpu and memory might make it attractive again...
EDIT: I read some other, more complete sources, it looks like jamming.

Disclaimer: I worked at Trimble Nav Ltd. in the radio group.

In general, GPS errors could also be caused by:

- PRC MIL jamming non-military non-BeiDou positioning systems to prevent drone or cruise missile attacks

- US MIL increasing Selective Availability (SA) on or disabling the unencrypted signal for a region

- Physical obstructions: trees, buildings, etc.

You'd think huge ships would have laser ring gyro INS and GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou as a backup? Depending on a locally-jammable, unencrypted data monoculture (GPS) for multiple critical systems is a SPOF and insane.
Most don't work. I returned some very high dollar items when I discovered this. Turns out, in general, 'conductive fabric' is not enough. It could be as simple as the seams not having continuity, or more likely a textile issue.
Again another source looking at the angle of objects rather then the refraction patterns. I ran the first IR testing at Google and the one thing that tripped up the engine was lighting variations, which the source I see didn’t consider.
There's at least one that does.

Future may be up for debate, current tax status isn't. And that's what matters for what you have to pay right now.
I just never reported any of that crap. I don't care. Still waiting on that IRS tax notice.
“Can” as in “I can change how my software is built so that in the future I will be able to” is different from “can” as in “there is nothing preventing me from doing this right now except the time it takes”.

Facebook “can” read messages in the former sense, but apparently not the latter.

I think the distinction is a meaningful one, legally.

Just wanted to put in a shameless plug for The Joy of Cooking. I first started with it in the 90's and it's been my "go-to" book ever since.

I remember when I first looked at it my reaction was, "Good it's like a reference manual for food." Just the index by itself is almost a work of art.

I personally think it peaked with the 1975 edition, that one had the most dense amount of background information.

Does line rate imply smallest packets? For CDN style use cases, you want to use the whole pipe, and it's going to be mostly larger packets.
We tried quadratic voting for our team choosing a new name, and we did not find it to work well. I think the analysis that the scheme even converges makes simplifying assumptions that aren't well justified, particularly that everyone knows the marginal probability of each candidate winning (when that itself is behind a fairly inscrutable voting method.) Without that assumption I think it falls apart.

The optimal strategy is to vote maximally for your preferred most likely contender, and maximally against the nearest competitor, but if you don't know who those are, the system provides no means of discovery. So strategic voting is not just possible, it is critical to have any influence, but the evidence needed for optimal strategic voting is neither obvious, nor revealed by the system, (and from our experience I don't think it has any stable Nash equilibria.)

After a few days with the system, we finally abandoned it and switched to a condorcet election.
You mean they would treat it as illegal goods and confiscate it at border? How would they ban this
Since bits are addressable directly in Common Lisp, I found the language to be very very nice for bit twiddling. Maybe you're mixing it up with Clojure? (bit twiddling in clojure without extra libs is a PITA).
I am not surprised.

I built a 6x6x2 foot sandbox for my son and was pleasantly surprised that it would cost me around $720 to fill it with play sand from home depot. Maybe there is a way to get 'play sand' in bulk that I am not aware of. Most bulk sand you can buy is construction sand and isn't actually sand but ground up rocks and is very bad for playing with.
AirBnb Dynein: Building an Open-Source Distributed Delayed Job Queueing System
I went to a presentation on Sysdig thinking that would be some kind of solution. Not really; not unless you want to hunt down or write syscall filters (or find some online) or pay for the Enterprise version.

I just wish there was a way to do the basics:

1. Look at files within my running container (maybe even modify them, without needing vim or nano installed inside it).
2. Ping/ICMP something from within the container (again, without ping being in the container itself)
3. DNS lookups from within the container
4. Connect to a port on an IP or DNS name from within the container
5. Inspect the contents of a dead container that won't start without having to commit it first.

I did a post a while back on how I feel about debuggin within containers, and I should probably write another one because I don't think I cover those 5 things:

Not “theft” but interesting sand activities: https://www.hawaiimagazine.com/blogs/hawaii_today/2009/2/20/...

“Erosion and rising sea levels have swallowed a foot of Waikiki Beach annually since 1985. This phenomenon, while accelerated in the last few decades, is nothing new. Reports from the 1920s and 1930s reveal that sand was brought in from Manhattan Beach, California, via ship and barge, to Waikiki Beach. Importation of sand into Hawaii ceased in the 1970s.”

I believe most controversies over how to structure our economy/society/etc are not between "possibility X" and "possibility Y which everyone considers as good as or better than possibility X", given that they are, well, controversies. However poorly one thinks of the masses, Pareto improvements are not the stuff that people argue over; this is a red herring to the substantive questions.

My feelings about all of this, including the Second Welfare Theorem, are roughly those outlined in this post (or rather, series of posts): https://www.interfluidity.com/v2/date/2014/06.

"Most recently, we’ve seen that the 'welfare theorems' — often cited as the deep science behind claims that markets are welfare optimizing — don’t help us out of our conundrum. The welfare theorems tell us that, under certain ideal circumstances, markets will find a Pareto optimal outcome, some circumstance under which no one can be made better off without making someone worse off. But they cannot help us with the question of WHICH Pareto optimal outcome should be found, and no plausible notions of welfare are indifferent between all Pareto optimal outcomes. The welfare theorems let us reduce the problem of choosing a desirable Pareto optimal outcome to the problem of choosing a money distribution — once we have the money distribution, markets will lead us to make optimal production and allocation decisions consistent with that distribution. But we find ourselves with no means of selecting the appropriate money distribution (and no scientific case at all that markets themselves optimize the distribution). We are back exactly where we began, wondering how to decide who gets what."

I have no comment on your larger argument but this feels like a weird point to make:

> The AppleTV would have been cancelled years ago by any other company.

If the AppleTV didn't exist, what would that change? AppleTV+ (the service) does not need AppleTV (the hardware) in order to exist, nor do I think one benefits the other.

Apple is primarily using iPhones and iPads to push AppleTV+. The service is also available on non-Apple hardware, such as smart TV's.

> For a tech company to invest billions on creating content like AppleTV+ is something that most non entertainment companies wouldn’t even try.

Amazon? Netflix?
I truly hope that this results in meaningful, and quite possibly painful change.
I would gladly accept the job of reeling in the golden age of the TrackPoint at Dell; and I don't think it would be tremendously difficult, especially now that any patents on the greatest untapped innovations would by now have expired (sorry, inventors!).
Nope!

That hasn't necessarily stopped people from learning something about how it works, though.
The old way: tracking you as you look for snowboarding videos on the Web and advertising you a snowmobile wherever you go.

The new way: making sure that 95% of the snowboarding videos you see are subliminally designed to sell you a snowboard (the guy riding the competitors snowboard goes slower and crashes... the guy riding your company’s snowboard wins the race and his girlfriend looks like a supermodel)

I think eventually we will pine for the old way. Already you can’t get useful reviews anymore because all of the “comparison” searches are run by manufacturer mouthpieces.
And is people taking dump on the streets better and safer?
In my personal opinion there is absolutely no way that "five eyes" nations should allow ex-intelligence-agency personnel, particularly from the NSA and related SIGINT entities (CSE, GCHQ, etc) to go work in the private sector for non democratic regimes.

You want to go work for Denmark, or Germany? Sure, get the appropriate permit from the department of state. For the UAE, or Iran, or Myanmar? No. I don't care if the royal family running the UAE are supposedly our friends.

Any person that is a citizen of a five eyes + partner nation, which goes to work for a project like this, should immediately find themselves the target of their country-of-citizenship's intelligence agencies.

I guess someone somewhere maintains a database of all leaked username passwords and this feature compares a credential with this database? Is that how this works?
I don’t like how it’ll become a new tracking datapoint. Google will learn about your passwords and of course that will be something that can be targeted through ads at some point.

Even worse if you can use such targeting to figure out who is possibly vulnerable.

Or maybe that’s just paranoid, but I don’t trust an advertising firm (which is all google is at heart) to not do this.

Nobody wants to hear it, but crime and population density seem very linked. Where I live, we dont even lock our doors, while an hour away in the city, I cant even take one of my crs because it is too easy to steal even when locked. When you know your neighbors, you can't steal without everyone knowing. The psudeoanonmity offered by overpopulation makes crime pay.
I understand that. I was hoping someone who's closer to the matter could characterize them in broad strokes even if details were still unclear.
