Whoa! Deadline was a reason to push a feature which is big and privacy violating one. Can a bank say due to deadlines we made passwords not encrypted ? The feature which is your core cannot be part of deadlines. If they really intent of user protection, they would have de-scoped it to next sprint.
I am by no means a sociological expert, but I think it is safe to assume a large majority of homeless do not want to be homeless; I’ll defer to those who have dedicated their lives to the fixing the issue of homelessness on how to remediate that special case, if it is indeed a significant concern.
Does that cost estimation include the 4-6 devops freelancers you're going to need for like 6 months to get it going? The bigger cost is in staffing than cloud bills unless you're running really a lot of infra..

How much more weight is needed then to look around at the world; pointing everywhere as proof that the current system is 'A bad idea' and desperately needs reform?

We have given these opposing views far too much credit and need to be treated with the same ridicule and vitriol as they deserve.
In sense, the parent-child relationship is kind of weird to have compared to the flight-crew/pilot or the guide-dog/disable-person relationship. The later relationships are between trained individuals (or animals) acting in fairly specific circumstances. The parent-child relationship is something everyone winds-up with, with large portion also doing the parent part. And so whatever training a parent has is minimal yet the circumstance that they deal with their children in are very general.

So a lot of problem parent behavior is ... a problem. The main way something like this "Children's Rights Education" tries to resemble the other situation is teaching kids that there are few circumstances of abuse where they legally refuse/resist. Of course, there are lot of abusive situations that the child can't legally resist and of course being a child navigating such an overall situation presents many minefields. Which is to say this approach has to subscribe to the fiction (derived from the law) that there is a fixed line between abuse and non-abuse where in fact the line is fuzzy indeed.
Its almost as if people can live in countries other than China and the USA.

But of course, you're right. All criticism of the Chinese state must be couched in the language of America's own failures. They're just like us after all. Maybe when they nuke Japan we will acknowledge our own sins rather than dare criticize our dear friends in the CCP.
This is why we need strong data protection legislation, and a regulator with teeth.

No service should be allowed to unilaterally decide what happens to our data, and gross changes to service agreements need to be vetted.
They all just seem to re-print AP articles though?
I've already said that the OpenZFS community is not trying to upstream it, why do you keep thinking that I'm suggesting otherwise?

You continue to conflate support for out of tree kernel modules as being similar to having a separate repository for firmware when they aren't the same thing at all. The Linux developers are not accepting firmware into the kernel at all, so there is no contradiction. The firmware is kept separate, just like OpenZFS is kept as a separate project from Linux. In both instances the user can choose to install an out of tree module such as OpenZFS as well as choose to install firmware on their system.

Furthermore it is not the Linux kernel developers that are packaging and shipping the firmware, it is the various Linux distributions who do that (or not in the case of FSF-approved distributions).
Next to a mid size city in France. South west of Nantes for instance.

The surroundings are great, schools are OK, the big city with its hype and hospitals is nearby.

That wild be the dream location.
What about security patches, how does it work in the FreeBSD world?
> Rust promises full type erasure when you're not using "dyn"

I don't know if "type erasure" is the accurate term to use with the generic-specialization scheme that Rust uses; one can trivially write a generic Rust function that demonstrates that types, while inaccessible at runtime, still semantically affect the generated code:

use std::mem::size_of;

fn foo<T>(t: T) {
dbg!(size_of::<T>());
}

fn main() {
foo(1); // prints 4
foo("bar"); // prints 16
}
> Easy, just blame China for their own stupidity and inferiority in losing the Opium Wars to the superior white people.

I didn't say anything like that. It turned out that China was technologically backwards, but they also just didn't care that much about the Opium Wars. I...don't know how you got from what I said that I thought it was because of racial superiority.

...And then you then go on to suggest that with a bunch of traders, a couple gunships, and 10k troops, white people were able to enslave and subjugate (in secret!) the entire Chinese Empire, which was at the time the largest and richest empire on earth? Who has a warped perspective of the capabilities of white people?

> After the Opium War 1, China was effectively a puppet government under the British.

Citation very much needed. They allowed some British presence in Beijing for the very first time. That made the Empire a puppet?

> Why? Because the Chinese authorities were under house arrest. The western countries stationed their military outside the imperial palace.

Yeah, the Chinese were strong-armed into allowing foreign access to their markets. It was a bit of a shock.

> The sole purpose of the Western nations were to drug the Chinese population, in order to extract maximum profit.

At the peak of the British opium trade, something like 80% of opium in China was locally sourced.

Western nations traded opium with China because it was the most valuable black-market commodity for which they had a supply. The Emperor refused to trade officially, so Westerners resorted to the black market.

> The Taiping Rebellion was the result of foreign control of China. The Chinese peasants were sick of being treated as human scum by the foreign white powers.

White people had access to a small handful of cities, on the Yangtze and Yellow rivers and on the coast. In those cities, they had zones where they effectively governed, but outside of that they had no real power. 99% of the Chinese population never saw a white person. The Taiping rebellion was related to Western presence, but it was absolutely not a reaction to abuse by white people.

> Ahh.. let’s just brush our [westerners] bad behavior of the past, under the rugs. It happened a long time ago, let’s just forget about it, ok?

Westerners did some shit in China. I mean, the Opium Wars were seriously morally bankrupt, they just weren't that significant from a contemporary Chinese perspective. I'm not trying to brush it under the rug, just to put it in perspective.
Interestingly, I recently saw a couple a couple of google.* domains available on Google Domains, including some reasonable-sounding ones: IIRC, google.tech (edit: google.page), google.business, and google.camp. Tried to purchase them but they instantly became unavailable the moment I tried to do so. The cynic in me thinks that Google has a special check for those and renews it themselves if someone tries…

More generally, however: all these TLDs are kind of stupid, and trying to make sure you own every single TLD for your business is similar to a protection racket where you have to pay just so something bad doesn't happen to you. Perhaps we should stop trying to make a billion of them.
The character's name is Joe Garrelli.

NewsRadio Trivia: Joe Rogan wasn't the first Joe Garrelli, a different actor played him in the pilot.
Yes, this is a problem, especially if the app becomes huge. They also have some strict rate limits. For ex: The endpoint to get mentions is restricted to 100,000 requests per day, which is very less for a popular app. There are ways to get mentions using their search endpoint which has a more lenient rate limit but it is an inconvenience and a bit hacky.
Opening a can of worms for sure, but the reliance on Babel in the JS community is not a good thing to me. It's another reason why I prefer TypeScript, as in TSC, not whatever equivalent babel happens to support.
Except right now, when all my favourite working places are closed because of the virus...
You mentioned an old laptop - is it too old to have wifi, or why doesn't it seem to be an option?

There are SSH clients for iPads (I use termius), but the screen size / cost ratio is rather prohibitive if you only want a smart typewriter.

A cheap Thinkpad is definitely worth exploring. Four years ago I bought a used T420 (built in 2011). I paid just over 300€, RAM and SSD upgrade included. It's still running great and the keyboard continues to be a joy to type on :-)
-He was one of the early entries in the era of the podcast.

-He is pro-pot-smoking, drug-taking, conspiracy talk, and generally being open-minded about everything, sometimes to his detriment. Especially early on he was very curious about a wide range of things, but as he has aged and bought into his own press I think he's become a bit less openminded.

-His podcast format is basically a couple of friends shooting the shit, often while stoned or drunk, but his "friends" are typically smart interesting experts in a particular subject matter. When that is the case he will usually let them do most of the talking.

-Due to the above format, Rogan rarely questions or challenges his quests in a manner that might make them look bad or feel uncomfortable/defensive. Though if what they are saying goes against his own internal beliefs or views, no matter how ill-informed, he will push back aggressively. In general, he's not very knowledgable or well-read outside of Twitter/YT/etc which helps the conversation flow.

-At the same time due to his success and the power of his show most of his guests will bend over backward to not question anything he asserts as fact or make him look dumb/misinformed. They all want to be invited on again as its massive for their career/product they are selling/etc. This helps make the conversations interesting but also light and fluffy to be easily consumed.

-He appeals to an overly male skeptic type audience that is fascinated by the fringe across news, information, media, science, history etc.

-He cranks out a ton of content with lots of different guests which is really the key to his success. Rogan has been wealthy and successful since the 1990s and has a unique and interesting lifestyle that affords him the ability to do his show exactly how he wants, invite any guest he wants, and do it often. So whether you are into MMA, hunting, scientists, tech CEO's, alt-right political figures, comedians, conspiracy wonks, etc...there is a sub-genre of content available for you to binge.

"Did you know it costs a minimum of $185,000 to create your own domain name ending? For that kind of money, I think ICANN, the registries and registrar sites have a massive responsibility to ensure that this never happens."

No they don't.

The same problem exists with subdomains, for example some users may visit "netflix.trustworthy-sounding-domain.com" and not notice the issue.

Meanwhile, using a weird TLD can raise suspicion even for legitimate sites. Get a dot com.
I saw Gail Tverberg's writings regularly back in the Oil Drum days. I don't think that she is a credible prognosticator. Like some other people on The Oil Drum, her theme seemed to be that industrial civilization was facing an imminent crisis from energy supply contraction. Did she ever go back and explain why she was so wrong the first time around with predictions like these?

https://ourfiniteworld.com/2007/07/16/what-is-peak-oil/

https://ourfiniteworld.com/2007/07/16/is-this-a-false-alarm/

https://ourfiniteworld.com/2007/08/06/peak-oil-whats-ahead/

Did she make more cautious predictions going forward, after making such badly failed predictions 13 years ago? If she did, I didn't see it. It looks like Our Finite World is still a drumbeat of predictions about crises just ahead. If she's eventually correct about a specific prediction it will be a case of the stopped clock showing the correct time by chance.

That doesn't mean that I'm unconditionally optimistic about the future. The "Galactic Scale Energy" post is exactly right. The problem is that constraints like "growth can't go on like this for another 1000 years, because of physics" can't provide much guidance for the next 15 years. And predictions from the Peak Oil crowd from 15 years ago about what would happen in 15 years were mostly wrong.

My personal take: after the 1960s, people basically stopped inventing more energy-intensive goods and services that could achieve mass market adoption. Jet air travel was the last big energy intensive service to reach the mainstream. The diffusion of energy-intensive lifestyles continued in the United States and is still diffusing throughout the world, so we're rushing toward a global warming disaster faster than ever. But GDP growth per capita in the developed countries has slowed. Energy consumption per capita in the developed countries has stabilized or reversed.

Small efficiency improvements in existing technologies accumulate without enough new energy-intensive technologies being invented to push up the per-capita demand from the median American. We are encountering the per capita "limits to growth" in highly developed nations but the limits showed up on the demand side before the supply side.

Global warming also -- and unfortunately -- seems unlikely to be curbed by supply-side fuel constraints any time soon, since we don't need any new energy-intensive technologies to blow out the global carbon budget. All we need for that is for the rest of the world's population to try to live like Americans circa 1990.
MacsBug also had a ton of MacOS-specific features, like transparent integration with the 68k emulator, the ability to display symbols for both application code and the system ROM, and a wide variety of tools for interacting with the Memory Manager and Resource Manager (including intrusive operations like compacting or purging memory).

It also had mouse support -- you could click any address on screen to view its contents and information about the memory region it was in, for instance -- and a menubar. :)

Macsbug won't run in the SheepShaver emulator, as it takes a number of shortcuts which are incompatible with MacsBug. It works fine under qemu-system-ppc, though!
Weird, FDISK /MBR was actually the only command I knew about.
Use mosh with Blink. WorkingCopy, CodeHub, Textastic make it usable. A better keyboard like a small Logitech with esc key helps but you can remap keys in Blink. I use an iPad to ssh to remote servers, works great. I mainly use a Chromebook because I need a real browser with developer tools, which is one big shortcoming with iOS. The other is clunky text selection, but that’s not an issue if you use vim or emacs over ssh.
One large issue is that you'll often not have a chance to learn from your mistakes and do better in the future. If you jump off of a building, you die. If you drink the big gulp for 40 years, you get diabetes. Sure, you may have learned from it, but you can't start over.

I'm still in the camp of "let them", but it's a mixture of "it's hard to figure out who really knows the risks", "I don't want to live in a world that's optimized for perfect safety and takes away all freedom to achieve it" and "we want people to take risks, even giant risks, even when they clearly have no idea how large the risk is, because we'll advance much quicker because of it, we just don't want all people to take those risks at the same time".
There is a clear connection between housing costs and rate of homelessness.

https://streetlifesolutions.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-clear-c...

This country has an inadequate supply of housing nationwide. We have generally been under building housing for decades, then we act like our homeless population is just a bunch of "junkies and crazies."

When I say "we don't need to worry about them," I mean the existence of people who are homeless by choice should not be an excuse to keep not building adequate housing and justify punishing those who do want housing on the excuse that "some of y'all losers don't even want housing."

I spent nearly six years homeless. I've studied this problem space. I am actively developing information resources and best practices.

"Build more housing -- especially stuff like Missing Middle Housing" is the short answer to a large part of this.

Healthcare availability is another factor that makes a difference and help connecting to earned income that works for them in spite of handicaps and so forth. Earning money online is part of how I made progress on my issues and got myself back into housing.
Late to the party here. Been working remote since 2006. In 2009, I moved to rural western oregon. However, I'm getting sick of the damned rain, and being a libertarian leaning person, I'm awful sick of the state of the state government.

I'm currently planning an or-exit, but it'll be a few years. At this point in time, the wife and I are thinking Arizona (somewhere Payson-ish, up high where the weather is nice).

Biggest hit I'm going to take is giving up my 1gbps fiber connection for at best starlink. Maybe I'll win the lottery and will be able to pull in my own fiber connection. While I'm wishing, I want a race car and a pony.
The right to own property is an extension of our right to own our own life. We are only obligated to contracts we have voluntarily entered into. You need to address the immorality of using violence to force people to be empathetic. We are not responsible for the lives of others. You have the option at any time to donate 100% of your disposable income to a charity of your choice. You do not have the moral right to violent police enforcement to force people to enter into contracts against their will. These rights are guaranteed by our constitution and your misguided opinions have been discarded decades ago.
I think this is an overly cynical take on things.

Consider the fact that if Ammon had fully considered this rollout, it would be very obvious to him that this would be the response. The legal ramifications would also have been obvious.

I think the only reasonable explanation is that it wasn’t fully thought through. I think his business being hit hard by the pandemic is a reasonable explanation for that. There’s no way TripleByte isn’t hit hard by this. Rushing a major feature out is exactly the kind of thing he’s supposed to be doing right now. It seems he just thought too much on making the business and tech side of the feature successful, and didn’t give enough time to the human and legal side of it.

Personally I thought his email was way more introspective and revealing than it even needed to be, and I think he’s being genuine.
Show HN: WebGL Animated Grapheme – Make Haste for the Demon Lord
Those who need more support than just housing (and I’d assume that could be many!) should be able to have it provided for them — I am sure the lines get murky if someone claims to not want to get helped, but I am also sure there is a way to still provide it humanely — anything is a step forward from the present conditions of homelessness and/or incarceration, at this point

That tripped me up when writing an IRC bot - it worked on many servers but failed on one particular server that sent the PING cookies.
I think what the critics are trying to say is that plenty of companies in the same space were not tempted to do this kind of stuff, despite all the pressures, and instead atayed committed to engineers’ privacy and putting candidates first.
gTLDs are nothing but a money play by ICANN and registrars and really make the internet a (slightly) more confusing and dangerous place. Within epsilon, all the money spent by companies on gTLDs is dead weight with no payoff in increased usability but only to prevent some naive user from being tricked.

The advice I give my non-techie friends is avoid going to any business website that is not a “.com”
A secondary group are families temporarily homeless due to adverse life conditions. Those can be helped by providing a semi-temporary place to stay. I'm all for this.

But the primary cause of homelessness is a mental health problem, largely brought on (but not entirely) by drug addiction[0]. Building housing may help, but individuals who are mentally well and want to live indoors can find housing, it doesn't have to be in SF or LA if cost is the issue.

The infrastructure for supporting addicts and those with clinical and severe mental health issues is at odds with the State's position that virtually prevents anyone being from admitted to an institution without their direct consent. In California, it is very difficult to admit someone to a mental hospital involuntarily. A police officer may deliver a person to a mental hospital and that hospital has 72 hours to evaluate them. Once evaluated, the hospital has to either get a judge's order to admit them, or let them go. Given that the entire state has only 6,000 psychiatric hospital beds, vs. 150,000 homeless in the state, this is seldom done:

"On or previous to the expiration of the 72 hours, the psychiatrist must assess the person to see if they still meet criteria for hospitalization. If so, the person may be offered a voluntary admission. If it is refused, then another hold for up to 14 days, the 5250 (WIC-5250), must be written to continue the involuntary confinement of the person. A Certification Review Hearing (W&I 5256) must occur within four days before a judge or hearing officer to determine whether probable cause exists to support the 5250. Alternatively, the person can demand a writ of habeas corpus to be filed for their release after they are certified for a 5250, and once filed, by law, the person must appear in front of a judge in two (2) days, which is two days sooner than the Certification Review Hearing."

Imagine an HR person using Triplebyte to recruit. As part of regular self-googling, finding folks with similar skills, etc., they'd see employees looking for new opportunities. A good HR person would notify the manager etc. of flight risk.

This won't happen to everyone, but again, it's a matter of agency. Someone at a tiny startup may not care, but someone at a bigger or more political org might might feel risk differently. It's their career, not TripleByte's.

I'm from Israel, and this is the first time I've heard about the .קום tld. I've never seen any website that uses it.

The author mentioned that creating a new tld costs a minimum of 185k USD. This makes me wonder who would pay this kind of money for this completely useless tld.
Strange that Netflix hasn't drunk the Registry cool-aid and bought their "all-encompassing" TLD package which registers their trademark across all TLD's for a special price. On top of that, I'm doubly surprised Google hasn't taken action and already put this domain on hold in preemption of selling Netflix one of these deals.
I think that the article made it clear that there is such a great need for at-home specimen collection that it is baffling that the FDA is going so slow.
Even tough the rendering engine is the same, the features that make the browser useful for them, like bookmark sync and appearance, can make more difference than underlying tech. No website I ever visit behaves badly in the three (two nowadays, we kit and gecko) major browsers...
