There is no such thing as perfect security - it is always a risk assessment exercise. Secure enclaves in general are not snake oil. Secure elements and TPMs, for example, are evaluated by independent testing bodies to high levels of security certification. These are examples of secure enclaves. Secure enclaves in this context, SGX, are an on-CPU mechanism that have weaker isolation properties than other enclaves. However, SGX has a different set of advantages, and may be acceptable to use based on the value of the asset being protected.
There is a difference, I would think, between a country going through a "bad period" of preferring totalitarianism, usually in response to pressures of economic and social inequality (e.g. Germany in the early 1900s; several middle-eastern and central-american countries today); and a country whose populace maintain deeply-held beliefs that have caused them to maintain a totalitarian leadership style over decades/centuries with no sign of changing (China.)

Though, I mean, part of that difference is that the rest of the world feels uncomfortable with sudden shifts like India's, and so usually gets together to trade-sanction the problem away so that things will go back to the way they were (which might cause the country to lash out, at which point it becomes a World War); while, on the other hand, the international community is so used to "the way things are" with countries like China, that they don't do anything.

This is a funny response.

If this is really about principle, it should not matter whether you have a job or not.

Don't expect anyone to pay attention to your 1% antics when you have a confy backup job.

All you are doing is revealing to others that this is something that should not be taken seriously.

Yes, the greatest value add of comments for me is the potential time-saving, in the ideal case (re)acquainting you with a large work of code by guiding your attention from the top-down - firstly to orient you in the broad structural aspects, then to fly you smoothly down towards the minutae of reading individual lines of code.

This does sometimes entail a few 'what'-style comments, so I'm disappointed to regularly read of programmers that have apparently taken up arms against them.
How can I train myself so that I will not resist arrest while I am delusional and dying of covid-19 in hospital?

This is an incorrect interpretation of the report. Or at least, the way it's stated is misleading. We have not "gotten rid of" 60% of wildlife on Earth. What has actually happened is (since the 1970s), the average reduction per species is 60%. Some species lost more than 60%, some (far) less.

This is still bad news, but I feel it's important to point out that we haven't (for example), lost 60% of all species on the planet.
An earth-destroying asteroid is the more realistic form of this. We could get anywhere from days to years of notice it was going to hit (if years, it would just be a probable hit) and have to put together our Armageddon/Deep Impact mission to divert it. There are plenty of papers published on what we could do and the idea has had millions of dollars in funding, but it would need billions. We're screwed if the notice period is days, but we'd have a good chance to build something in months.
Show HN: Extractor API v1 – the text extraction workflow API and UI
> What are your favourite features about magit?

For a similarly complex task, there is no program with a better UI.

Magit manages to optimize for both, speed and discoverability: 99% of all actions are 2-3 keystrokes away, and at each stage of that process, magit will tell you your options. For example, invoke magit, press 'b' brings up the branching menu, basically a keymap for letter -> action. Pressing 'c' for checkout then starts a new branch creation. The default branchpoint is your current branch. If that is fine, press enter, otherwise type out the branch name (tab completion for all possibilities, local and remote). Finally, you name your branch. So in 99% of the cases, it is b>c>enter>my_cool_new_feature>enter, done.

Before magit, using version control was a necessary evil (for me). Nowadays, it is so effortless, so natural, that it hardly registers in my attention -- similar to the way that you automatically save the file that you are working on after a couple of lines of writing without noticing that you are doing it.

All cli tools should have a magit interface. World peace and happiness would ensue.
I definitely agree with everything you said!

I also wanted to add what’s cool about this is there is literally no configuration required.

the Detroit area "field hospitals" (convention centers) had very strict restrictions on who could be admitted- you had to be sick, but not too sick. In practice only a handful of patients were eligible and admitted before they closed.
I am starting to suspect that the whole exercise amounted to a giveaway to the convention center owners who previously were forced to shut down.
I didn't know that some reference-counting languages optimize away some cases of runtime counting by attempting to track ownership, though it makes sense. But I think when people say "reference counting" they mean the naiive approach. Even Rust has reference-counting structures, if you need them, and they actually expand what you're allowed to do with those values because you're partially stepping outside of the ownership system (at the cost of runtime performance).

As a former AWS engineer, I'm going to disagree. Teams and products at AWS are set up to weather most any individual leaving, but they are fairly lean and would certainly feel the pain of an engineer quitting in protest.

Obviously, Tim Bray has a lot more leverage than most engineers at AWS or Amazon. It takes someone at the senior principal or distinguished engineer level to really shock the upper echelons of management. But there are droves of SDE IIs and SDE IIIs who've been with the company for a few years and whose leaving the company in protest would have a noticeable, immediate impact on their team and larger org.

If it's a mild infection, by definition, the immune system has squashed it. If it didn't, the virus would take hold; it's not a latent viral infection like herpes.

Edit: okay, okay, I didn't specify "a mild infection that stays mild and goes away". We know complications can arise and the infection can progress into severe symptoms. Plenty of examples.
This attitude is similar to a smoker saying after decades of smoking "I don't regret anything, I enjoyed it".
Yes, as a matter of personal survival: never resist arrest.

As a matter of conscious and principal though, passively resisting arrest should never lead to your execution. Acknowledging it’s not the case and thereby personally making sure to comply with the police does not make it “right” for this to be the norm.
The problem is much media, and especially social media, is using things like these unused field hospitals to justify that the problem was never that bad to begin with.

Which is exactly what people said would happen if stay-home orders managed to flatten the curve.

I hate this all so much. I am honestly super depressed about how short-sighted many people I know are proving to be.

Not OP, but my guess is they don't like it because it's opaque and the developer's incentives are drifting with Apple's move to services. Oh, and they probably don't like the fact that Apple still actively collaborates with the NSA.

Decoding the Why – How Behavioral Sci Is Driving the Next Gen of Product Design
Sovereign Immunity is in and of itself a creation of courts, especially in the US. It's more understandable in the English legal system where the law itself derives from the sovereign, but in the US the government derives power from the people. The same reason why the US government can't copyright it's own works is the same reason they shouldn't have SI, and therefore QI.
Starting on a project to improve one's life by engaging latent gifts is one of the smartest things one can do. It is aligned with the best advice psychology can offer.

I'm a light user of Keybase and used it primarily for validation & signing. The social identity verification was quite nice. It seems that's what most of the users here were using it for.

My suspicion is while we're not likely to see much new development from Keybase, the existing capabilities aren't likely to go away for some time.

The premise of validation/signing isn't a technically complex approach and I'm sure someone can create and FOSS it. The question however is - what features would you want integrated and what things did you find annoying?

What I don't understand is that this disease becoming globally endemic is pretty much a forgone conclusion. With that in mind, when did the goal posts move from flattening the curve to keeping things shutdown indefinitely with no clear criteria for slowly returning to normal and allowing an economic recovery to happen.

With flattening the curve I suspect we'd want to keep the field hospitals due to the lag time in knowing the actual infection and hospitalization rates.
This is an excellent observation. A class 1000+ clean room is probably the last place you would catch something airborne from someone else.
Facebook Messenger also used to check if you were sending an image uploaded by one of your friends. If Alice uploaded a photo, but didn't share it with Bob, you wouldn't be able to send that photo to Bob. It would also check if a shared photo was embedded in another, like a screenshot.
Show HN: ArtsySpace an online community of people trying to decorate their space
Hey All! I recently moved in into a new place in New York. Due to COVID-19 I started working from home, so this meant I needed an office desk setup and decorating the room to feel comfortable working from home. That's why I decided to build www.artsyspace.net

I started using the regular channels for inspirations Pinterest and Reddit. Although, I did seem to like images on Pinterest sometimes the posts didn't have links to purchase the items on the post. I also found myself wanting to ask questions to the post owner, like "Hey that is a cool painting where did you get that" or "Thats a nice plant you have in that image what kind of plant is that?" but couldn't.

ArtsySpace is meant to be a place where you can ask questions, share your space decorations such as home office setup, art arrangement or decoration items.

> fascism is a principle where corporations and the state make common cause against the people, whom they seek to exploit or control, respectively

I'm not in a position to do the research at the moment, but I'd suggest that African-Americans have very clearly and for a very long time suffered state control for financial exploitation, and they are not the only ones, but simply the largest and most visibly egregiously maltreated minority.

Look at property values in areas with high levels of police violence. It's a chicken omelette in a way, but your definition of fascism does seem to fit the situation for this and other US subpopulations.

Being allowed to return to work or a business you run, being able to pay rent, feed your family, etc.

These are positive outcomes of lockdowns being lifted.

The danger in looking at this as a binary “opening kills people” is that you miss the trade offs and in doing so you miss the other nuanced policy options that sit in between complete lockdown and no lockdown.
Unless it has a RYF certification, it doesn’t stand out from all the alternatives.
Speaking only of the headline, it should be a banner ad for successful preparation and containment; it should not hint at overkill or wasted money, which it does (unless there actually was money wasted on overkill that the article wishes to expose). Even on a psychological basis, it made the populous feel more secure that the authorities were doing their best to cope. And economically speaking, it's standard economic theory that injecting money into the slowing economy will have a near term beneficial effect beyond just the direct recipients of the money.

That's just the headline, and the people who write the articles famously don't write the headlines, but still, the headline is a bad headline.
> Most the big streamers got to where they are by view botting, the "fake it til you make it" approach.

I'm sorry but this is not true. There have however been perception issues around viewbotting. One such:

For most of the life of host mode when a small stream would get hosted by a big stream, nearly all of the transitioned viewers would stay (through inaction) in the host's channel. Many would be AFK. The small streamer ends up with a large viewercount but a disproportionally "dead" chat, leading to cries of viewbotting.

Coincidentally, big-to-small hosts like this are frequently how fantastic but relatively undiscovered streamers get their "big break", further entangling the accusations with their success.

Source: Worked for five years at Twitch, built host mode

(PS: As someone who became good friends with some of these "big streamers" and those at Twitch combatting viewbotting, I can't help but feel insulted on both their behalves that the amount of invisible effort they pour into their craft so frequently gets shat on.)

It is just the software. You get the software and a USB dongle that acts as the license key for the emulator.

I used this back when I worked at IBM. Most people just ran it on a ThinkPad running Linux. I ran it on a rather beefy tower system, as it was slow on the ThinkPad.

We called the tower system, the baby z, and I took it and physically placed it inside of our System z. One day our CE asked why there was a tower inside of the System z. I told him that it was pregnant.
Exactly. I think the assumption that every encounter needs to have a gun present encourages needless escalation.

I did a stint as a "contractor" at a body-shop consultancy back in the 90's, only a few years out of college. Although they did pay well compared to what I could get as a perm employee, they were charging THREE TIMES what they were paying me. The friction that this caused was a deal breaker: the project manager knew that I was costing as much as quadruple what their ordinary employees were costing them, and expected 4x the output.

That SARS-CoV-2 was in our environment for months longer than thought, that 20% or more of Americans may already have antibodies, that tons of people suffered from not being able to get essential heart, dental and other surgery in preparation for some mythical surge that wouldn't have even happened anyway. That there's no evidence social distancing did anything at all?

There are tons of other possibilities here. There simply isn't enough data, and won't be until Feb 2021 where we can retroactively look back at data that is cleaned, pruned and properly averaged.
"Recovery" refers to the economy, not the stock market. You can't say the economy has recovered yet while unemployment is still going up and GDP is still going down. The idea of a "V-shaped recovery" came from the notion that demand dropped and unemployment spiked because the government imposed lock downs, and once those lock downs were removed everything would just snap back to the way they were pre-corona.
You're mistaken; the "free" means "economic freedom", not anything to do with personal liberties.
> I'm surprised it isn't more. As someone who is particularly distracted by noise and interruptions ...

That may partially explain why you find the results surprising.
Sure, but my point was that that's not just "moving slowly", it's Brownian motion: there's no guarantee political winds will ever shift favorably in your direction at all. They might drift in the opposite direction for hundreds of years. Community "evaporative cooling" in a city of decreasing population might just see whatever political currents are there get concentrated over time, rather than diminished.

So, basically, any municipal political plan that involves "waiting the problem out" as a strategy, should never actually be chosen/pursued, because if time has any associated overhead costs, then the indefinite amount of time required will cause the overall strategy to have predictably negative ROI.

That’s not how it works. You can’t just gloss over needing to use JS as if it were merely a different language that compiled to the same bytecode. I’m not talking about complexity in terms of the number of frameworks or libraries you need to install. I’m talking about actual, measurable complexity in any objective metric you choose such as in terms of the number of distinct system, layers, hops, components, layers, etc you need to go through. There’s no comparing reading an http header included in the first lines of each and every request with the extremely brittle and objectively complex approach you are talking about.

JavaScript is absolutely not intended to function as a core part of merely making authenticated web requests between the browser and the server. I’m saddened by how often I need to explain this.
