many years in prison for what this kid probably thought is a prank. while twitter will likely get no punishment for having so little security that even a child can hack them.
Unfortunately price is the information. It is actually a better indicator of quality than many other attributes. Not a perfect one but better.
It's Jews vs Arabs. And this isn't my opinion, this is precisely how the conflict is perceived by both the Jews and Arabs involved. I'm not really making any statements about the article, but I tend to believe my ancestors over articles I find online, considering the sheer amount of anti-Israel sentiment that exists in the world. And the Arabs raiding their villages weren't Bedouins, they were Palestinian Arabs who weren't happy to have them as their neighbors. This is why the Haganah was created: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haganah
Contrary to popular HN opinion, it's not uncommon nor a user-trust catastrophe for large corporations to turn down products, services, and features over time.

A kid who spends this much time at a computer thinking about how to break into Twitter has a good grasp of social interactions?

Or, maybe Twitter just had some obvious loopholes that even a not super social-aware hacker could find and use?

I think it is better to assume that in these situations it is more incompetence from the platform than "super-genius" from the hacker that allows for things like this to happen (regardless of what Twitter needs to say for PR or the media needs to imply for clicks).
It’s not nonsense - Arm gets paid per device, TikTok get paid per ad impression (and views are a good proxy for that)
Interesting you take rapamycin and a bunch of other stuff thats supposed to extend lifespan. I wish to see if you live longer but I'll probably die first lol.

Serious questions: have you experimented with calorie restriction? Clearly thats THE method that works in every species. Second question: do you battle with depression? My current hypothesis is that any life extending drug will also inevitably lead to depression given the links shown between the sirt1 pathway and depression (also potentially as an evolutionary check but that's just me throwing ideas out).

Wow. It isn’t news, but what a terrible reflection of the US approach to criminal justice.
We really need to focus on rehabilitation instead of incarceration across the board.
Thanks for the details, that makes sense. Maybe I'm just a bit too grounded in my thought process from using full key layouts all the time. I guess this means if I'm wanting to go more ergonomic while still staying in the mechanical keyboard sphere then I really would just have to get used to macros, because having one key serve multiple purposes means needing less space for keys to be socketed, meaning less hand movement, meaning less hand strain.

Also, a lot of people seem to have macropads or separate numpads and use them for basically the exact same purpose I'm currently using the function keys for, so that could be a good compromise if I still want something like the Ergodox with a split layout.
Driving in VR is a great way to make yourself sick unless you also have a motion simulator.
The part of GTK+ I've always hated the most is how much it relies on GObject, which is probably one of the worst ideas ever conceived by mankind. Reinventing a whole object system using C and shitload of macros is such an aberrant idea I cannot even start ranting on why it's an utter abomination. The fact it was born mostly from the hate the GNU project always harboured for C++ is what has always bewildered me the most. I understand that C++ in the nineties was a steaming pile of manure, but basically reinventing a poor man's copy of Objective-C just because they desperately wanted to write their stuff in C, and nothing else, is just too much.

And for what? GCC was basically the reference implementation of an Objective C compiler, a language that basically boils down to an object system hastily glued on top of C. I don't think it would have been so unreasonable to use that instead of rolling their own... I guess they had their reasons for not doing that, or not cooperating with GNUstep for that matters.

The irony is that has led to the creation of a million language bindings, such as Vala, Gtk#, PyGTK, Gtkmm, gjs, ... just to lower the massive learning curve of writing GTK applications in C. This is something Qt has clearly never struggled with, given that I've yet to see a relevant Qt app not based on C++ or (recently) QtQuick.

The formula to derive it is an infinite series that already takes that into account, so no, it's just $2 trillion total. This is not considered a controversial economic formula, but maybe you are on to something that could win you a Nobel Prize.

Anyway, since the parent implied that "hoarding cash" (a.k.a. saving) was somehow bad, I wanted to clear that up. They would only be reducing the money supply if they were literally hoarding physical bills in a private vault.
>retain GtkHBox and simply implement it in terms of GtkBox with a defaulted "orientation" to horizontal.

I'm sorry, I understand your frustration but to me this is a terrible example and kind of makes the rest of your post look like complaining about a non-issue. This is exactly how it's already implemented in GTK 3. GtkHBox was deprecated there and slated for eventual removal, then it got removed in GTK 4 because the whole point of it is an API break and removal of deprecated functions. If this bothers you, you can keep using GTK 3 which is now considered feature-complete. The situation with GTK 2 was the same, you could keep on using it if you didn't want to bother updating your application.
True he did commit a serious crime, but it's a non-violent crime. The kid obviously has some skill and potential in life. Sending young, misguided amateur criminals to prison just creates professional criminals. A crapton of strict probation and community service would be more appropriate than prison in my opinion.
No. AMD's iGPU still not powerful to playing games with good quality, mainly due to memory bandwidth.
It's like the people who claim Galileo can't be right. According to all the research and math, Galileo is dead wrong and these ideas have to be regulated because it's just too dangerous! Physics doesn't work like that!

I agree with your premise. I think we should divest from scammy cryptocurrency companies. I also think we should divest from scammy banks, and companies that supply weapons to be used for killing people overseas as well (specifically referring there to companies like Raytheon), and companies that violate our privacy and manipulate our society negatively (i.e. Facebook).

Obviously if you release something with an open source or FOSS license, then anyone is free to use it though. I'm against any kind of morality clause for free software.
... and even that gives you the wrong answer if your diagnostic specificity is faulty.

This last is why we keep seeing muddled reports that "antidepressants don't work". Diagnosis of "depression" is a snakepit; the only known way to discern which among at least six conditions you might have, all labeled "depression", is to see what medications work, if any. Imagine trying to conduct a plausible RCT for that.

"Gold standard"? Ha.
Sidenote: Niklaus Wirth designed Oberon, one of the coolest operating systems I’ve ever seen. You can run it on an emulator. It’s basically a graphical OS, which sounds like an oxymoron, until you realize that the programming language itself is also graphical.

It’s so unknown that it’s shocking. Imagine designing an entire OS that was used by dozens of people, and no one knows about it. http://worrydream.com/refs/Wirth%20-%20Project%20Oberon.pdf
It’s not appeasement - the Liberal National Party and the Murdoch press have more of a ‘symbiotic relationship’.
I can only speak from the ecommerce industry, where you make online payments:

Honestly, credit card fraud still exists because Visa/Mastercard/Amex/Discover et al have a near-zero liability for fraud. They foist it upon the merchant.

It would be trivial for Visa to notice an account suddenly starts making purchases from out of the country, or exceeded some threshold of declines, etc. But, they don't care.

If you, the merchant, accept a fraudulent order, even if it appears fine, you are on the hook for the chargeback + chargeback fee. Good luck winning one of these disputes - they're heavily weighed towards the customer. You practically will lose every claim, and be out all the money for the product, plus the chargeback fee. Everything can be perfect on the order, AVS, CVV2 code, etc... doesn't matter.

This is why companies like Bolt Payments have sprung up - attempting to offload that risk from the merchant. They're making a business doing what Visa could do if they wanted to - pool card data together and look for illegitimate patterns, and block them.
It is fair to accuse China of anything. It is the actions the government or law makers take that matter.

I think Trump administration is them problem. It is amazing to see how much a single term of an irrational president could damage a country in almost every aspects.
The stock idea is dumb, in my opinion, because there were safer (no SEC) ways that required less capital and didn't require fancy trade accounts.

For example: buy up a load of super cheap shitcoins. Can be done for under $100. Then tweet from an exchange like Binance that they will shortly be listing said shitcoin. Watch the price go up, sell.

Or, with a bit more money, short one of the cryptocurrencies, tweet from a big exchange that they were hacked, profit on the panic selling.

The nice thing is, they could do one or even multiple of these and still do the scam.
Sure, employers and states aren't enforcing the rules as much as they could.
Good grief, no! It's not remotely comparable to the array of Qt libraries. Can it handle XML parsing, XSLT transforms, SVG rendering, database access, OpenGL scenegraphs, gamepad input, networking, chart rendering. No. It doesn't even do one of them, and that's not even the full list.

GLib is a set of basic C functions for missing standard library functionality which range from acceptable to awful. An "application development framework" it is not. It's a set of simple helper functions and some primitive containers with so-so performance and very little safety.

Use the C++ standard library and avoid 99% of it with containers that work properly and classes that aren't fragile because you're still pretending that C can do object orientation and object lifetime management sanely. It can't. Constructing vtables by hand with GObject might be clever to prove a point, but it's no way to write a robust application that the compiler can actually type check and that static analysis can find problems with.
>I always just assumed that interfacing proprietary IP with the GPL is a tricky legal business. One slip, and all your IP becomes open source.

The only tricky things involve blatantly betraying the spirit of the agreement while trying to pretend to follow the letter and hoping a judge supports your interesting reading of the law.

Even so there is no provision in law wherein someone can sue you and magically come into possession of your IP.

It would literally require magical thinking.

Can an innate immune system do anything about a virus that has already entered the organism? Or perhaps they just have such a strong outer layer and are so dispersed that viruses rarely evolve to target them, and quickly die out if they do.
I mean determined teenagers created FB so...
I like the apolitical aspect of TikTok, it's a breeze of fresh air and entertainment compared to other social medias. If Microsoft acquired it we could expect the same political agenda pushed on us and the same censorship we get on fb, Twitter and YouTube. Oh well, it was good while it lasted I guess.
That wouldn’t help. In a country where the non-white population is rapidly growing and the white population is shrinking, and also is trying to catch up in terms of education and income, the population of guild members will be whiter than the population of potential new members. Limiting supply (favoring existing members over potential new members) will in practice disadvantage non-whites.

There was a very clear example of this recently in Chicago. Lori Lightfoot explained that she wouldn’t pursue police funding cuts because under the union contracts, cuts would have to be made from newer employees first. (Last in First out.) That would mean that 2/3 of the cuts would be Black and Hispanic officers, even though less than half of the overall force is Black and Hispanic.
Why do you think companies should be taxed?

Most people who want to tax corporations actually just want to tax the super-villanous rich people. But here's an interesting idea: just tax rich people more.

By increasing costs for all companies, you are making products more expensive for all consumers. It's effectively a regressive tax.

You also need to remember that a majority of Americans are invested in the stock market[1]. A healthy economy is good for everyone.

I believe that money that gets paid out from a company to investors (dividends) should be taxed as regular income, but the income of the company itself should be untaxed. That way we avoid the distortionary effects of double-taxing money but we still tax the evil rich people you're so concerned about.

I’ll be curious how the growth exceeding expectations impacts Q4. Today I looked at ordering an iPad Pro, both the 1 TB and the 512 Gig and could not get either one until early September.

While I’m celebrating the great quarter, how much will blowing out Q3 impact Q4 by way of not having the equipment people want? They also announced a several week delay and in delivery of the next gen iPhone. Might be negligible?
That said it's a bit weird to download a webpage of several megabytes that allows you to input a search that takes seconds to return a result, just to do the equivalent of a text search on a text file that's likely smaller than the webpage itself.

This isn't true for all search engines, but it is true for quite a few of them.

> The mass arts that the masses can afford to consume (TV, streaming music, and movies) are by definition based on popularity, so we can only have so many artists.

I'm unreasonably picky and I can never find find enough books / games / tv shows / etc that I actually like. They exist for sure, but I burn through them too quickly, and then I'm left without anything to read/play/watch for a while.

So if we could have ten times as many TV shows to pick from, that would be great as far as I'm concerned. Whether the economics exist to support that is another question of course, and likely the more relevant one.
Is Walmart the only store you're allowed to shop at?
Interestingly, here in Finland retailers are required by their terms to check your ID for magstripe purchases over 50 EUR. This policy predates chip cards, i.e. not a new thing.

So there is some regional variation in practices.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I really really like cryptocurrency flows for this sort of thing. You open the wallet on your phone, scan a QR code, and you've paid, no need to fish for credit cards, enter additional info because your transaction looks weird, etc etc.

I wish more sites supported it, and I try to support it on all of mine. I use/recommend OpenNode, though I wish they had Monero integration, but I guess everyone has their own pet cryptocurrency they'd like supported everywhere.
Is-a relationships are best handled by interfaces. If you don't have those and only have inheritance then that is the exception I mentioned above. In those cases I would argue that the base class should be composed entirely of abstract methods and the depth of the inheritance hierarchy should be no greater than 1.
Yes they are, but it’s not entirely up to them. The other side is arguing that they are just a publisher.

It remains to be seen where they end up.
The comment you originally responded to said:

> The model of "copyleft if your project is open, pay us if your project isn't open" is one where I have no problems or concerns, and will happily use the open version and recommend that people building something proprietary purchase a paid license. Nor will I typically worry about the motives or future of the project unless I have some other reason to. And the KDE Free Qt Foundation means I never have to worry about Qt going proprietary.'

Software under a proprietary license is something I can't build other Open Source software atop of that I expect other developers to use and collaborate on. I don't want to have a forked ecosystem of proprietary-with-source-available software, I want to actually collaborate on Open Source software.

With Open Source, I'd feel confident that if we had to manage it ourselves, or fork it and add a patch, or get a third-party to develop a patch, or work with a dozen others with the same needs we have and collaborate on it, we can do so. It's reasonable to build an ecosystem or community or company around. You cannot replicate that with any non-open license; by the time you're done granting all the necessary rights, what you'd have is a non-standard-but-Open-Source license, at which point you'll get more traction if you use an existing well-established Open Source license.

I don't really care about encouraging the development of more proprietary software, whether or not it happens to have source available. There are already well-established models for getting people to pay for proprietary software. If someone is looking for a funding model for Open Source, and what they find is "turn it proprietary and generate FUD that it's as good as open", that's a failure. And when people are looking for Open Source and they find proprietary-with-source-available, it undermines decades of careful work and explanations by the FOSS community, and generates substantial confusion.

It's your software, and ultimately your choice how to license it. Various companies have tried the "source-available but still proprietary" model. Just please don't call it open or contribute to the FUD around proprietary-with-source-available licensing.

Speaking from experience, when encountering software under a proprietary-but-source-available license that tries to act like it's open, the response from companies that actually deal in Open Source is not "Ah, OK, let's pay them and use it", it's "yikes, get this away from us, how did this even end up in consideration, let's either use something Open Source or use something actually proprietary, not something by someone who is either confused about the difference or hopes other people will be". (The set of engineers and lawyers who deal with software licensing professionally, at various companies, tend to talk about it with each other.)
Actually one of my desktop products received very much praises from the customers who (aside of nice features and responsiveness) also loved how few MB big single exe with no dependencies does so much more and faster than 1.5 GB download from the competitor.

My other current product custom made for a customer in C++ is business server that receives various commands over http, does lots of calculations and delivers data that are used to generate a report (I wrote a report generator in JavaScript and it runs on a browser). The whole thing is again single exe that needs nothing but connection to a database. The exe itself is around 1MB vs again gigabytes for the old mess they were using before and is more than 100 fold more performant. The customer was simply shocked when they saw a result.They did not think it was possible.
For me, synthesis is a mode of cognition that is often paywalled by the endless trivia of everyday life. So, as you say, I'll often read something quite passively and just not have the time to think deeply on it.

I do think we all approach knowledge and creativity quite differently. I've got lots of friends that are very logical, deductive, and first principles. Whereas any nuanced opinion I form generally comes from daydreaming or spacing out in the shower.
