The better question is has it abated the act of these crimes to a significant level? If a 10 year sentence crime is commonplace then that’s a dark mark on the police and judges. If it’s a crime not often committed how can we correlate the punishment to the practice? The incarceration is a punishment for the one who commits the crime, but is also there to set an example. If the example isn’t made then the loop continues. Crime without (known) repercussions is a crime that will continue. If that is okay in the eyes of lawmakers then this is now about money. This is just top of mind thinking, not stating as fact.
Side thought... is it even cheaper if you just have displays/use an ESP to do http requests to a local server... guess depends what they have to do. I mean I think you would need a 32 to drive the display too vs. just an ESP01
Most of this article is about the pain caused by that we cannot assume devices will update in years. There's no window you can set for both certificates to be valid side-by-side that will be long enough to update every device.

Again, roots are already cross-signed and the article points out they still take 2+ years to pass other validity checks for root adoption. Even if they "virally" propagated in this manner after all those checks passed, there are plenty of devices that are only powered on once a year or less; there are a lot of devices whose support lifetimes for any upgrades at all are less than 2 years (that's a specific call in the article: we need security support lifetimes extended to decades at least, probably).

If they propagate "virally" you have a lot of questions of whether or not a device will even see that there is an updated certificate. Not every user or device visits a web page in a certificate chain to any given root routinely much less ever.

Comments to this article even point out that there is a semi-viral update process already in place in most browsers called AIA chasing, where certificates may point to URLs to look up their parent authorities, and Mozilla intentionally doesn't AIA chase because it's very definitely a privacy risk, even if you don't agree that it is a security risk (bad certificates sending you to bad URLs). The security risk is why the browsers that do AIA chasing only allow it for intermediate certificates and will not trust new roots found by AIA chasing.
You aren't addressing his main point.

The point is that the aristocracy did not engage in "work" as many would define it, but seemed to be pretty happy about that.

It worked for them. Why not for others?
ISPs can. I wrote the code that lets them offer such a service, and some internet cafés in Europe do something similar, but they're pay as you go, so you just top up with a different speed tier. (I can not guarantee anyone is still doing this to today though.)

I imagine ISPs do not do this, because of how they sale their service. They want to make it hard for you to get out of the deal you're in, and hopefully in a carrot kind of way where you feel like you're getting a better than normal deal so you don't want to leave.

Giving people the flexibility to change their plan willy-nilly is goes against how most ISPs sell their service. They want to lock you in, not give you free range.

The exception is internet cafés and hotel internet. I could see something like this for cell phone top up plans, but most of those just resell what's available, which means them giving all of the bandwidth they can get.
> True expertise in fields like medicine, engineering etc. generally takes at least a decade of experience to acquire.

Oh I agree.

In the absence of a profit motive those fields would be taken up by the most dedicated, eh?

> Societies need for, and ability to utilize, such highly skilled labor is only increasing as we automate simpler tasks.

Again I agree. I think that one obvious benefit of automation is that it frees up humans for important things that only humans can do. Mark Miller has an adage "Moore's law means that humans are becoming exponentially more valuable from the CPU's POV."

We're not talking about forcing people to retire after two years. We're talking about eliminating drudgery and wasteful processes.

> some portion of people will need to put in the long hours and years to keep the lights on.

No, that's the whole point: no one has to put in long hours anymore thanks to the knock-on effects of the invention of the transistor.

Just like farming went from ~90% of the population to ~3%, so will our industrial space-age civilization, if we let it.
> This is an exaggerated version of what happens to an individual once they accept hard determinism. They realize that people can’t be morally at fault because they are simply a small part of the equation, an equation that includes all moments that preceded it.

Well said, and this is exactly the underpinning of how I approach the world frankly.

Here's something to think on. Say you accept all this. Now consider anger. Is it ever justified to be angry at someone given all this, ever? I think when you stop and begin to understand and at least imagine all the things that happened to them to lead them to this moment to do the thing that is frustrating you, it becomes clear you can only be frustrated, but never angry. The next question becomes then how do you approach any sort of conflict that would arise from that anger.

People don't believe me when I say this without knowing me in person for a good deal of time, but I can't remember being angry since I started down this path of ideas around my junior year of high school. Anger more or less becomes existential frustration followed by a desire to figure out the causes and solutions to the situation.

> Personally, to me, this information is liberating. I feel I have more control now because each event is comprised of an equation. Humans are not black boxes, and neither is my mind. There is some semblance of logic to the system, no matter how obscure or opaque it may be, which means there is some possibility for me to influence the world to move toward a more desirable state.

+1 here too. As I said in some other threads, a configuration optimization problem.

Wow, thank you! I have some academic stuff and have been formulating it into some more article/short book style stuff privately but had no intention of publishing. You're not the first person to say this now though, so I might just reconsider how/when I publish!

It seems like a corner-cube would do a serviceable job in this context and might be lighter, as long as the reflector is substantially larger than the wavelength of the sound.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corner_reflector

Wikipedia claims that the LRADs operate at ~2.5 kHz, which corresponds to ~13 cm wavelength. If a corner-cube is about the size of a protest sign, it might be sufficient? As a rule of thumb, if it is about as big as the LRAD device itself, it'll probably have some efficacy. The more-directional the LRAD is, the more effective the corner-cube will be.

In Seattle, at least during "normal" protests, there are restrictions on the materials used in constructing protest signs (no wood bigger than 1", etc.) in order to limit the extent to which they can be used as weapons. One ought to be able to pretty-readily test whether or not foam-core-board corner-cubes (or any design) are effective reflectors with relatively low-intensity sound sources.
Fully aware.

Still, high latency internet for free is better than no internet access at all.

Another solution can be registration form and tracking end user private IPs assigned (Ipam) for such any legal issues.

Ask HN: How can I learn to make accessible websites/apps
I'm not a front end developer at the moment, but I used to be and I remember having someone ask me about the accessibility of our platform.

So I'm curious what tools/tutorials/guides there are to simulate how some people view the apps I make and so I can learn what makes an app accessible and what makes it inaccessible.

Thanks
I don't like this person (and our officials in general), but I feel compelled to say, that I find the mockery of his points and all things Russian (in this thread and overall) absolutely disgusting and borderline insulting.

Sadly, it's quite typical. The most atrocious example of this mentality is (still, after so many years) US propagandist efforts to make everyone believe, that their participation in the WWII was decisive, with D-Day being the turning point, that ultimately brought the victory over Nazis. When someone dares to notice, that there were Kursk and Stalingrad in 1943 and a full-on race to Berlin quite some time before the first American troops even landed on Omaha beach, the official propaganda dismisses all evidence or smears the Russian side: like, yeah, sure, they helped a lot, no shit, but it was only possible, because Red Army was overrunning German tanks with millions of vodka-infused unarmed savages, who were machinegunned in the back by commissars, oh, and don't forget lend-lease and food, that US was providing to Russia, otherwise Hitler would have taken Leningrad in 1941...yadda-yadda

Adequate people tend to understand, that any such collective fight (conquering space is also a real fight) is collaborative, and every party plays an important role. Denigrating former allies after the fight is finished is behaving not like a human, but like an ape. It's equally disgusting to see this happen both on Russian and on American side.

Why wouldn't they!

While Intel showed this, Apple was currently selling iPhone 11s with processors that would clearly outpace this. The A13 has two large cores and four small cores, whereas either one of the large cores outperform the comparable 'Core' core in this, and I'm betting the smaller cores do as well, possibly at less power. Supposedly their ARM< Mac CPU is a 12 core architecture, I imagine with four large cores and 8 small cores. Thats a massive hardware difference...did I mention that the 12 core CPU is supposed to be build on TSMC's 5nm? Intel is trying to get current and honestly, maybe Apple will ship a Macbook Air with it.. but probably not.
That is a good feeling but it is career suicide. Adulation and compliance is a sweet currency and if you dont use it (it is OK) other people will and they will be moved ahead of you time and time again.
I once ran into the same sort of issue with this very chip, in that the little A55 cores supported half-float compute, while the big Mongoose cores didn't. Seriously a pain.

You're moving the goalposts. PHP was a great option in 1995. It is not today (except as a basic scripting language, where you and I agree completely. I would use PHP as soon as my bash script gets to about 100 lines).

Your post here is arguing about 1995 or whatever. The post I replied to was full of present-tense about "just use the good parts" and "all languages have issues", etc.
Sometimes you have responsibilities and you can't risk the job on the off chance that your feedback hits the wrong buttons.
Butthurt Russkie.

Good thing that the Free World won't have to rely on these beasts for space travel anymore.
Agreed. I think Apple would have made a device with maybe 4 times the specs (eg. 8 Gb RAM instead of 2) and ten times the price (edited the parent to reflect that) and kept it top secret until right before release. There's still hope that this will eventually be polished to perfection, but it will probably take years of revisions.

Intel CPU’s Found Vulnerable to New ‘SGAxe’ and ‘CrossTalk’ Side-Channel Attacks
To say that a statement is undecidable relative to a set of axioms is to say that this set of axioms is satisfied by several structures and this statement is true for some of them, but false for some others. The structures which satisfy a set of axioms are called models of this set of axioms.

The whole deal with undecidable statements in mathematics is that in our language we make the illusion that there is only one structure deserving of the name "natural numbers", but "natural numbers" are defined by a set of axioms. What Gödel proved is that, when a set of axioms (and the language that is used) is powerful enough, then this set of axioms is either inconsistent (i.e. it has no model), or there are multiple models and there exist statements in the language which are true in some models, but not in others; so you could say that the "truth status" of these statements isn't decided by the set of axioms.

EDIT:
Related issue: given a class of structures, in general it may not be possible to write down a set of axioms for which this class of structures will be the class of all models of this set of axioms. An example of that in first-order logic is well-ordered sets. You need second-order logic for that (i.e. you need to be able to quantify over subsets, instead of just elements of universum).

So the way I think about all that is that sets of axioms are inherently imprecise. When you add another axiom, in order to restrict yourself to a smaller number of structures, you always jump over several of them. You're never able to throw out just one.
Don't try to over optimize it immediately. My suggestion is to park it in a high yield savings account (e.g. capitalone360 gives almost 2%). Then sit on it for a month or so while you research the best options for YOU.
Except in this case it's being used unlawfully on peaceful civilians, and the only reason there are no consequences is that the people using it are cops.
Here's some that are utterly trivial to find. There are plenty more. Feel free, as a supposedly competent PHP programmer, to go and find the rest, becayse you definitely need to know about them to be able to write code that's going to work properly.

Moved the examples to a gist due to HN formatting:

The clause “without justification” in my original comment matters a lot, do not ignore it.

Cops might have the legal right to use force, but they must have clear justification for that application. Indiscriminate application of tools designed to injure people by the police should be a crime, but in practice it does not appear to be so.
I mention radiodroid elsewhere here: it has a sleep timer that defaults to the last one set, so you would have to tap first to start the app, then 2nd to start a station (at the top of your favorites), then the timer and ok, so that is 4 taps I guess.

Edit: and it seems, an alarm clock.
UDP Questions
Keep in mind this is Fox. Also, I don't remember ever sharing my age or income level with movers I've hired.
While true in general, the cost of unoversubscribed wholesale bandwidth is rapidly approaching the cost of oversubscribed retail bandwidth.

Wholesale bandwidth is 5 cents per Mbps or less at scale. Not that the ISP pays for all bandwidth, peering and CDN traffic is free.

In other words, even if you max out a 1 Gbps line 24/7, you are only costing the ISP $50 per month.

Add to that that most people are unable to consume even 10 Mbps on average and bandwidth costs become less and less of an issue. An average subscriber will use 2-4 Mbps of bandwidth during primetime, and primetime is all you care about as an ISP.

Nothing in this means that offering bandwidth on demand is impossible or a threat to the ISP business model.

It’s just that the overhead of offering an on-demand product to consumers isn’t worth the time and effort, as you’d be making peanuts while having to deal with a lot of grief.

Bandwidth on demand is a thing for businesses and operators. A good example of this is Megaport, who offers virtual cross connects and transport. Price start from $100 per month plus a varying fee per Mbps, from a few cents to a few dollars per month.
I have just a basic understanding but for example in a serial to digital converter they will use a base clock and a phase delayed clock signals to capture multiple samples in one base clock cycle time instead of just cranking up the base clock frequency.

Indeed, my understanding is that rape is typically not prosecuted at all. :-/
I'm pretty confident only a small fraction of people edit anyway and those who would only need a few encounters to start becoming editors.

This is based off the fact that I frequently see:

- "why does X not have a Wikipedia article?"

- "this Wikipedia article is so poorly written"

And very rarely actually see someone edit it. On occasion thousands of people have agreed and hundreds of people have written comments agreeing and only two people edited.

So maybe it does some damage at the margin but overall probably doesn't hurt that much.

This is true, but only as far as people can keep their Github accounts anonymous. A couple months ago the government tracked down three people who had been using Github to share censored content and arrested them[1]. A whole bunch of other repos shut down quick smart after that for fear of more arrests. We can only hope some people outside the country made local clones.

You must work at a pretty healthy company. Because those checks also exist at unhealthy companies, but there managers just know how to work the system.

E.g., I know somebody whose manager was pushed out for political reasons. Their first meeting with their new boss, the one who did the pushing, was a 90-minute series of accusations and critiques. In the second meeting, they were presented with a letter documenting the critiques and their poor response. Their third meeting was a no-notice, no-severance layoff and a security escort to the door. It turned out the people "laid off" were all the ones hired by the old boss, even though the company was hiring for the same roles at the same time. So the new boss was just cleaning house, making sure the people in key positions were loyal to him.

But it was all documented and justified.
Wikipedia does not need any donations. If they Wikimedia Foundation puts its cash reserves into safe low yield investments, it’ll be able to run Wikipedia for decades. Of course, it won’t pay for salaries of the current WMF employees, but Wikipedia does only need a few of them.
Good question - I checked IMDB for Force Majeure and it does seem to have that "love it or loathe it" distribution - I tend to agree with the comment about it being "mind-numbingly pretentious drivel" (which I guess some people would apply to Blood Machines).

The USA didn't look so... indeed, uneven or fractured, before Trump's appearance in politics. I guess I should have travelled across there several years ago. I sincerely hope you can collectively get out well of this mess.

Also, hopefully not the point here, but the "this country is too big/different to try..." reminds me of several conversations I've had with people from certain countries, justifying their authoritarian regime.

Also, in a room of 20, if one person cannot bring and share into their voice at least a second person among the 19 other ones, they won't get any result either by being part of the assembly.

Note: if you have a computer and it can be "told" once and forever remember it, then converting know-that into know-how by teaching it 100s of if-then rules was, at one point, considered a worthy research program.

Barter is "natural", but so is tribalism/centralized governance, and monopolistic practices. Yes, it does have to be "we'll do it better/smarter this time" for both governance and the market-based economy(not "free market"). Thinking that dismantling it all and allowing "free" organic growth won't lead right back entrenched interests and gatekeepers within the government and market is naive.
> compare indirect deaths by coal with direct deaths by nuclear

"stress of losing its home" = direct deaths by nuclear ? That may be the actual insult to intelligence :)

Both are indirect deaths of course. The only difference is perception : this is similar to the discrepancy between the much better air travel safety record compared to driving, and people being irrationally scared of flying.

Even assuming your indirect deaths figure is true, we'd still be talking about 2000 deaths in a single incident triggered by a natural catastrophe (most nuclear plants aren't in highly seismic zones), of which there have been two in ~50 years of nuclear power.

That's in contrast to 23.000 yearly deaths in Europe alone, from air pollution from coal alone.

We could stop the math there, but what about the death toll from displacement and migrations caused by climate change ? Or actually, the existential threat it poses to the human race ?
Conscious of this issue I always take time to search (it's not always straightforward) the wikipedia link and click to go to the wikipedia page to somehow not endorse Google's behavior scraping data they do not own and exposing everything in their cards (obviously what I do is certainly useless, I still use Google Search in the first place, anyway, it just be a kind of placebo effect for my brain to feel good).

Meh, I don't know. It looks clunky in lots of ways, the GNOME3 UX feels a lot cleaner and more intuitive. Hopefully future GNOME versions will be able to run usefully on 2GB RAM. Or perhaps MATE and Xfce will adopt some of the same touch-friendly interaction principles.
I'm a bit fascinated by this Ultralytics. It has super nice website but according to LinkedIn, I think it's just one guy who does consultancy.
