Like a physics simulation you iterate the cryptographic math over time. The physical laws themselves are incapable of expressing computation, it is the effect they have on a system evolving over time that produces what we call computation.

While I can see your point it's possible that Tesla might have skirted the rules a bit by adding a lever that does activate the windshield wipers but doesn't allow you to control their speed. I don't understand this choice either but it's easy to imagine that legislators didn't predict someone would try this either.

Presumably the legally correct way would be to activate the windshield wipers when necessary and to pull over if you want to adjust their speed. Similar to how you're supposed to use GPS.

I understand this opinion, but don't agree with it at all.

There were two killer features of the 8086:

First was that you could translate your 8080 and Z-80 CP/M programs to it without too much work. So for example, the IBM PC immediately had WordStar, Visicalc and DBase. I found an interesting example of the process here:

https://github.com/billforsternz/retro-sargon#yet-more-detai...

(But this actually converts Z-80 to 32-bit x86.)

Second killer feature is the hated segment registers. Yes, they are annoying, but they provide a rudimentary form of built-in memory management. So for example, you can run UNIX on x86, but you can not on 68000 which has no memory management. [Well you could with extra hardware: Trs-80 model 16 could run Xenix, but had an external memory manager. Also, you could use PC-relative code, but with a performance penalty- this is how OS-9 worked even on an 8-bit 6809].

My basic understanding is that license (usually?) applies to just the code.

There is no concept of "history" or "snapshot" pertaining to the code itself. Such constructs only exist with regard to the process of development, about which the code license does not care. Otherwise, every keystroke must be recorded and published to ensure compliance, at which point, the license is ridiculous and unenforceable.

> They're both tools for large power with supranational privileges for geopolitical interests. Which makes them directly comparable and functionally equivalent.

The Magnitsky acts are the US flexing its power in pursuit of human rights. The NSL is the CCP flexing its power to entrench its authoritarian hold over the Chinese diaspora and international business. That's a fundamental, moral difference.

> Drawing up a list trying to label one group good and other group bad misses the point.

No it perfectly illustrates my point. The targets of the Magnitsky acts are corrupt murderers. The targets of the NSL are democratic activists.

> Each group is bad for interest for the respective countries, that's all that matters.

Yeah but the CCP is evil, so groups that are bad for them (like democratic activists) are good.

> Also, follow the news, Magnitsky was just applied to XinJiang paramilitary organization XPCC/Bingtuan.

The CCP is committing an atrocity in Xinjiang, and the XPCC is the CCP government organization that's largely responsible. This is exactly what the Magnitsky acts are for.

> ...just slapped the act 24 hours ago on an organization with 2.4 million people

Let's have a look at what the order says:

> As a result of today’s action, all property and interests in property of the [XPCC] and individuals named above, and of any entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by them, individually, or with other blocked persons, that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons, are blocked....

So it's not all 2.4 million XPCC members.

> US supranational instruments are being interpreted beyond their limits under this admin, especially Pompeo and his Chinahawk clique.

Pompeo is, like the rest of the free world, critical of the CCP. That's different than being a "Chinahawk".

> China announcing their own supranational instruments is overdue...

The CCP has no moral authority to do so, therefore these "instruments" are hegemonic at best.

> ...and all it does is target obviously anti-state actors...

If your idea of an anti-state actor is this kid [1], I can't take you seriously. And you should say the whole thing: "anti-authoritarian-state actors". Or, "democracy activists" is shorter.

> instead of something like the entire republican party, or entire US special operations command, which is downright restraint and responsible in comparison.

Look I'm no fan of the GOP, but if they build an insane surveillance state in order to put 1-3 million ethnic/religious minorities in concentration camps indefinitely with no charges or trials where they experience "torture, rape, sterilization, and other abuses" [2], sure, freeze their accounts.

Thanks for sharing this research! My hunch is that it is a local optimization. Perhaps if we focused on de-stigmatizing mental health issues and making access to mental health care easier, that could also reduce rates. It is a universal and much less problematic strategy.
That is different than monitoring it over time as a way to set rates.

> there are still people who refer to Highway 40 as Lincoln Highway

This is interesting to me because here in Iowa, the Lincoln Highway is "old Highway 30". In the 60s they rerouted Hwy30 about a mile south of the existing Lincoln Way so they could make it 4 lane and avoid towns.
As far as I understand it, GDPR is personal privacy. I believe the US concern is one of national security.

It has already been established that social media has problems with national security when the company is owned by US. It is likely to be more problematic if it is owned by a country that continues to undermine us with espionage and Cold War tactics.

I think protecting our national security is not authoritarianism.
You can already buy some refrigerants legally without any license, and somewhat amusingly (or sadly), even contribute to global warming by releasing as much of it into the atmosphere as you want! It's not marketed as a refrigerant, because that would make the EPA regulate it, but of course the chemical itself doesn't care about such trivialities and will cool the same when it evaporates. If you want to go down a rabbithole, search for "duster spray AC recharge".

One of the things most noobs will install first is pandas. Pandas needs numpy. Numpy needs lapack, blas etc, even if they're not aware it. Yes, there's wheels, but that's limited to python-only stuff.

Then they're reading on some blog about protobuf, or hdf5, or arrow or whatever, and want to use it - but using either from Python needs installed C libraries. On linux/macos you'll need to dig into your package managers and then hope things are compatible, on Windows it's a complete pain. In conda, they can just 'conda install h5py' or whatever, and get proper hdf5 installed without having to figure out the nitty gritty details.
You're not wrong, but I think it's cool how much safer the generic capsule design is than something like the Shuttle. Really the Shuttle got a whole lot wrong—heat-intolerant aluminum structure and critical, sensitive machinery directly beneath a layer of tiles so fragile you can crush them in your hands (IIRC).

SpaceX's Starship will probably be a lot more tolerant to defects in the heat shield because of the relatively heat-tolerant steel underneath, but landing safely relies on the operation of massive aero surfaces and a relight of the engines with thrust vectoring. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.
Same :/

I had 2 "successes" 5 years apart. Most recently, ProductHunt got me 30K views in one day on this site, http://lowpolygonart.com/ and I think the backlinks that I got as a result have carried the site for a couple years, but any of the other projects I've released have been dead on arrival.

"In this case, someone submitted a patch 10 months ago and was asked to tweak the patch. Then life got in the way (I totally understand), and he finally tried again about 9 months later...

He was also asked to tweak the second patch because of a minor style issue (which I also understand). A third try at submitting the patch hasn’t been attempted as of this writing."

I've been there. I understand both sides, but it's a bit frustrating from the "outside contributor" standpoint sometimes.

For example, I use git quite a lot, but not GitHub. As a result, a pretty simple "couple of lines" fix I tried to contribute remains uncommitted because I wasn't able to format things in a way that made the target project folks happy. The pull request remains sitting there. Though I still occasionally get "thank you" messages from people that accidentally find and use it.

So, some number of folks lose out on a good fix roughly because what would take me several hours, but take someone else a few minutes, just doesn't get done.

Some sort of web based "force this minor tweak for a pull request" feature might have a decent upside.

Japan as a country has seismic detectors all over.

These are fed into a centralized earthquake early warning system that stops not only Shinkansen, but other trains, elevators, alerts surgeons in hospitals, sends out broadcast push notifications to phones, etc. The system is so fast that the notifications arrive to areas beyond the epicenter before the seismic waves themselves, giving people and devices precious seconds to prepare [0]

> The [vacuum] effect is negligible

How did you determine that the effect is negligible? A single-hose A/C should actually blow colder air locally, because it's using cool interior air to cool its condenser. The problem is, it's also throwing cool interior air out the window, which is thermodynamically insane. Every unit of air it expels must be replaced by hot air somewhere else in the building.

> e.g. not all the compressor's heat being vented outside

This is an engineering problem; the compressor should be well-insulated from the room (thermally and acoustically), and cooled using outdoor air.

I don’t have answers to these questions, but it does seem to me that the internet has a fundamental incompatibility between being a space that enables or encourages (relative) anonymity on social media platforms, and being a space that strives to accept all kinds of speech, regardless of the content.

As long as users are able to remain anonymous, content will continue to be pushed that drives some users towards adopting censorship. And as long as people feel their right to speech threatened, there will be a desire to remain anonymous.

I honestly don’t see a clean way out of that scenario, but that’s just my perception.
Ask HN: Locked down OS for kids learning to code
I remember growing up coding on an old version of linux with just a terminal. It was amazing, no distractions of the internet. I followed books and manipulating the little pixels was a blast.

I feel, anecdotally, that this is a good way to introduce programming to children.

Is there a locked down OS with some basic scripting ability that could be loaded onto a low powered laptop so that children could experiment and learn to code?

If not, do you have suggestions on a quick way to whip something like that together?
