Thanks.

I see how that could be a concern. To address it, there can be causality without fault. Fault is a kind of blame. Blame is when you take out a timeline and put your finger down on an arbitrary part and say, "It's because of this." and fault is taking that arbitrary point and reducing the event down into actors by saying, "It's because of you everything went wrong."

Looking closely, fault provides no benefit. You can grow and improve by looking at causality. You can learn why someone did what they did and learn from that, which is far more beneficial than the overly reductionist fault. Fault as a default is a lazy way of thinking. Instead we can see the ignorance in ones decision, or the defensiveness in ones decision when they assume another was being harmful to them (eg arguing or retaliation), or we can see the short sighted selfishness in some rare situations (eg, narcissism). Fault is not necessary. It's a hindrance towards a higher resolution view and from that greater awareness comes greater learning capacity, a heightened wisdom, and possibly even heightened intelligence.
There are multiple problems with that simplified model of conflict engagement. The most immediate one is that it encourages people to call nobody and just try to sort out the situation themselves, because the risk of a simple call for assistance ending in the death of a loved one is too high right now.

We have one and I think it's incredible and incredibly useful. I'm curious about the "bad for the environment" comment.

Ours is a 2005 model and it is in pristine condition, has no scaling, because we descale it once or twice a year, and it still works as well as it did when it was first purchased. My wife is Chinese-American and "water pots" are standard fare in most Asian households. Ditto for Zojirushi Rice Cookers. For the record, our rice cooker is 13 years old, is used 4-5+ times a week, and both looks and works as if it were brand new.
Any tips on how to to use Little Snith for most privacy? Thank you
The Merlin engines don't run hydrogen, though. Because of hydrogen's propensity to embrittle metals it comes into contact with over time, it's much harder to design a hydrogen engine for long runtimes (vs. say, a one-minute static fire plus a eight-minute flight).
These magic numbers should get neutered, considered compromised from the start, and then we build a system based on that assumption. We could use a GPG like system with certificates and expiration. A creditor produces my ciphertext signed before a revocation, or they can't even file it against my credit, which will take the same for verification to mark against my credit, and dismissing such claims by a creditor is trivial and automated. You dispute a transaction, and they produce your signature, or else it simply disappears. No court trials, nothing.

It could get complicated, like mandatory checking of centralized revocation lists, which the creditor would also need proof of, etc. But it could be worked out by smart people, and even run by the government gasp. If a hacker gets the information, wow, they've got your public keys, and then upon discovering the breach, all the certs get revoked.

But we'll keep using dumb magic numbers forever.
A couple of problems:

- This give Apple access to data right now. If they turn evil in the future, they have access to data from the past, which gives them more leverage.

- The security industry (overall) pays attention to Apple updates. If Apple turned evil in the future by issuing an OS update, someone might notice it happening. But if they start organizing this data and handing it off to the government, they don't need to change anything public or issue an update. They can do it all serverside without anybody noticing.

- One of the ways we tell whether a company is trending evil is that we pay attention to how its willingness to invade people's privacy evolves over time. This is a more subtle point.

Imagine that I was administering your phone. There's trust involved in that kind of relationship; if I turned evil, I could install some tracking software or viruses and violate your privacy. So imagine that one day you find out I have installed tracking software on your phone, but when you ask me about it, I say, "it doesn't matter whether or not the tracking software is installed on the phone. If you trust me not to invade your privacy, then you might as well trust me not to look at the data the software is collecting. As long as you trust me, it makes no difference what I install on your phone, since you can trust me not to use that software to violate your privacy."

You probably wouldn't be satisfied by that excuse. In reality, seeing that I am now the type of person who is willing to install tracking software on your phone should give a suspicion that I have either already turned evil or that I am on my way to turning evil.

So similarly with Apple, it's true that trusting Apple means putting them in a position where they could start collecting people's private data. The fact that we have now seen them start collecting private data means that we should be more suspicious that Apple either is already evil, or at least that it is more willing now to play with evil ideas than it used to be.

Hi swat535. I'm sorry that all happened to you this year. :( I really hope things take a turn for the better soon.
private companies are still accountable to their shareholders. But I do think that the very public number of share price encourages slightly different behavior than a private, illiquid, and probably out of date number

This would be great for coffee chains. Some people think that when you bring you own cup to Starbucks, it'll save a paper cup. This is actually not true. The barista has to use pour the coffee to a new cup and then they'll pour in on yours.
> We could use a GPG like system with certificates and expiration.

Yup, now nobody is going to use the thing. People use social security numbers because they’re convenient, not because they’re good.
Depends on the company. For example most of Walmart's revenue goes to buying goods to sell. Apple sells physical products and hence will spend a lot of money acquiring the physical parts etc, you can't really compare their revenue to for examples Facebooks revenue.
And, uh, based on the diplomatic recognition situation it's pretty clear that Teh World has considered your suggestion and very explicitly rejected it.
Clients always need a way to re-negotiate keys in case one user decides to switch to new device and not import keys.

The problem is, say a MITM attack really happens. What is the user going to do? Will they assume it's a bug, will they press "accept" blindly without checking the fingerprints? Will they contact The Intercept to reveal MITM attacks are taking place? Will the press take their claims seriously? Will anyone on the internet drowning in misinformation, disinformation really care?

Then there's the key exfiltration problem. Snowden was very vocal about it at the beginning of the leaks. The NSA goes around E2EE by hacking endpoints and stealing keys. That's not a reason not to use E2EE of course, there are simply more threats with less capabilities but still, threats that are insane amounts of less risk-averse, who won't give two shits about e.g. abusing plaintext data exfiltrated from the server. My point is if you have to deal with risks such as MITM you're probably dealing with adversaries willing to infect your endpoint as well, so you might not detect MITM attacks. For that you need better endpoint security architecture with some guarantees against key/pt exfiltration.
I have pretty much moved on from HN. It used to be the place to learn first hand from people doing amazing things in tech, these days it seems to be a nest of negative nut jobs whining about how hard their life is while holding 6 figure desk jobs.

Yes I know you are not supposed to mourn for the old HN, but I do. I feel like HN should purge the last 5 years of posts and start again.
None of those other islands were even remotely close to the strategic value of Taiwan.
My only issue with your point is the UK and France deserve at least some of the "credit" for Israel's status. I always find it absurd that people think Israel is the top of the pyramid.

edit Upon second reading, I also object to it being seen as just a "forward operating base." For most of history the region has been highly prized as the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean.
With respect, which planet do you live on where a pandemic that is killing millions and putting millions more out of work, confining people globally to their houses and murdering some large swathes of the economy for an invisible disease is the same as an 'easier & safer life for most people'.

The K-shaped recovery is a real bubble, don't get caught in either side, they're both blind.
For me its like surfing, riding a motorbike , or driving a car hard. Scary hit but shows you the way if you can tare right in its face. (I hope that makes sense to someone)
How is this different to the already widely available bamboo or sugar cane single use containers?
No, they're saying they're building a fab in AZ.

Like Foxconn is (still!) saying they're building a fab in WI.
Data breach exposes nearly 28M Texas drivers' records
I agree, and I'll add more to it. In a very small company, there simply isn't enough space for any individual team or segment to diverge significantly from the overall success of the company. When your company is very large, often the needs of various sub-groups might not be in alignment with overall company success, even if they're still trying to make money for the company.

A great example comes from this article. The group in charge of the Pentium product line would not be thrilled to see the Celerons launched, since that would cannibalize their sales. Obviously for long term success of Intel this was the right move, but from the perspective of the Pentium team this might be a horrible idea.
As much as your statement on acidity is true, there is also another explanation why this person's mouth is tingling while eating tomatoes, and that could be a histamine intolarence since tomatoes are high in histamine.
> Maybe, as Roy suggested, viable food delivery services look more like Domino’s Pizza or other restaurants that deliver their own food; industrial kitchens that churn out meals only for delivery; or something else that no one can imagine because instead we have food delivery apps that can’t survive on their own.

> Complete American withdrawal in Europe may have seen Putin do what he did in Crimea also in the Baltic states or possibly further

Perhaps Europe should pay for their own defense? Crimea and Ukraine aren’t particularly economically successful, but France could certainly stand to save some money on African adventurism and use that budget to shore up their capabilities. Germany, the UK, even Italy — they can and should shoulder more of the burden of protecting themselves against threats. Not sure why the US has to have our troops and money effectively subsidizing European security.
Nixon, Reagan, W. Bush, Trump is not a curve towards competence. Nixon got stuff done. Reagan started a movement but bumbled around until Nancy took charge and hired professional help. W started and lost two wars. Populists never know how to govern, so the next tiktok, parlor, youtube star isn’t going to know how to move the levers any better and their entourage is going to be a clown show.

They can win because the American populace is shallow and irrational, but running off the rails is not a competence badge.
Thanks!

> Crossfade editing is pretty important when doing cuts.

I do have a feature that automatically fades out background music when you talk (record yourself) and fades it back in afterwards. I will add more features to allow you manually set where to fade in/out. Is this what you mean?

Synchronizing audio to video - do you mean, re-recording yourself, or lip syncing to another voice?

Time stretching - right now, I only allow this for sound effects, and so far it works correctly.

> I'd hazard against using a "layer model" for audio because that will not scale very far. But audio engines are also a rabbit hole.

What would be the alternative?

> For SFX editing, a sampler or VST3/AU soft synth host with midi playback would be great as a stopgap for full audio editing.

Not sure I fully understand what you mean - is this something where you can manipulate different frequencies in the sound (a.k.a, sound equalizer)?

> ambisonic mixing/rendering alongside 3D video editing

I think I might look into this at a later time. At least, I don't have proper support for it as of now :)

As a side note - I do have something rather unique in my app: custom music visualizers. The ability to have the video/text effects react to sound (and you select when/where/how this would happen). This is early beta, but I do kinda' really like it :D
Serverless architecture in many cases leaks the IP-address to the opposing party (without by-default anonymization via Tor). Cryptography is just math, nothing magical happens when p2p is applied, there's still a MITM risk, but there's no scalability issue in compromised IX-routers doing MITM against p2p system users, when compared to compromised Matrix servers doing MITM on mass scale. Less packet filtering but nation state adversaries don't exactly throw in the towel when they need to filter packets by protocol.
Good. We need more understanding of how terrible the DMCA is. Please support EFF at https://www.eff.org/issues/dmca
Well yeah, if you're using such a simple MCU that you're basically writing assembly whether or not you have a C compiler, you aren't going to end up with something complex enough to need console-like logging. At that scale, you can more or less exhaustively test every code path and input to prove correctness.

You don't have to go too far from there to benefit from a debugging console, though. There's tons of design space between 8-bit 8-pin MCUs and full featured processors with MMUs and megabytes of memory. You don't even have to leave 8-bit to benefit from a "printf" mechanism.

Tangentially, you don't necessarily need to implement "printf" within an embedded firmware to benefit from it. It's entirely possible to offload the fmt string expansion, instead capturing the raw fmt string and arguments as data and expanding it at point of consumption.

I can google for others too, I don't think the numbers will sway your opinion though.
> I don’t see how you can so confidently reach that conclusion.

I'm not going to 100% say that control is the reason Apple is doing this. I'm sure that they do genuinely want a way to quickly quash malware, worms, etc...

But we've also seen that Apple is clearly willing to use security features to ban developers that stand against them, so I don't understand how people can be so confident that they wouldn't be willing to use this feature in the same way, even if they did internally think of it as primarily a security tool. It would be very consistent to how we've seen app signing evolve from a pure security feature into a contract-enforcement tool.
It's very much the other way around. Prisons exist primarily to punish, and secondarily for isolation. But they were originally - as a concept - intended to be about rehabilitation. The end result is something that doesn't rehabilitate, is a very expensive way to punish someone in a way that makes it hard to control the severity of the punishment, and does a lot more than what's needed for simple isolation.

On top of all that, it gets severely overused, not the least because of this broad assumption that it's "better than many of the alternatives", even when that's not actually true - in many cases, prison sentences that replaced one-off corporal punishments for minor crimes can be a lot more disruptive for the life of the person undergoing them.
On Taking Criticism
I think such a system could be made convenient. And if the alternative is not legally binding, like, if they want to use magic numbers and paper and you give them the number and sign with ink and they give you money then come to collect, and all you have to say is "show me the digital signature", and they produce it or by law they have no claim, it'll get figured out and convenient.
> Since when is competition and choice a bad thing?

Who is saying this? There is competition, and Intel is starting to lose.

> If you're a chip design firm and you have a 8-month backlog to get your masks made at TSMC, what do you do then?

Wait 8 months. This is a lot better than getting a "Lol, we don't do custom masks" from Intel.

> Intel should spin off its Fab division as a separate company, hire some top executives to rejuvinate the workforce, make it the coolest Fab company in the world to work for and leap ahead.

Yes, they absolutely should do that. The only question is if they have the guts to do it.
I would argue corporate death sentence, but the squeamish among y’all seem to think that’s a bit extreme.
Where are you hosting it? I'm looking for a good solution to move my domain off of Google Apps. I haven't really found a good alternative. I was looking at Protonmail until I noticed just how much money they charge per account.
I hope you are right or there is something very broken with us as a group.
This is an absurd amount of reductionism. The chances of actual military conflict in both the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan are objectively much higher than most other places around the world. Having both of the top tier semiconductor manufacturers reside in such a hotspot is absolutely a cause for concern.
Have such fines ever been levied in a mass data breach? If not, then they are meaningless.
Did Bill Clinton facilitate George Bush’s transition in November 2000?
That's the wrong analogy. The right analogy is Apple is acting as a restaurant inspector. They may miss a lot, but they accomplish _something_.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this.

To be blunt, it sounds like you’ve been tossed into a blender, and I can’t think of anyone in my life who could have gone through all of what you just described and not feel exhausted so please keep that in mind. It sounds like a lot.

I don’t have any advice to give except, if you are able, find and speak to a professional therapist. I thought I was above that sort of thing until my own mental health got so bad it was basically one of my only options.

One thing I wish someone had told me in my mental health journey - If you don’t connect with the first (or second, or third) therapist you meet with, fire them and look for a new one. You won’t offend the first (or second, or third) therapist because they have the same goal you do, which is to get you into a better place. It took me three tries to make the right connection with someone I spent about six months working with and it has made a big improvement in my well being.

Sending positive vibes!
After it starts it would hard to stop because of the separation except by some other group of similar creatures.
Technically AFAIK, the revocation list could be turned into a Bloom filter (or one of its alternatives) and updated from the servers periodically.

edit: on 2nd thought just a list of hashed cert ids could suffice because it is hard to imagine there ever being thousands of revocations.

That way the provider would have no knowledge of which certs are being verified.

I used to be bothered by all that's wrong in this world, but as I've gotten older I've slowly learned to accept that which I cannot change, because otherwise I'd just be perpetually pissed off and it's impossible to be happy.
Haven't thought about this much yet, but I think a freemium model, something like padlet, might work here. However, for the foreseeable future, SeeLink is free!
You are of course right and if I stop and think about it rationally, everything is relatively alright.

The thing is that I've had to deal with a lot of health issues over the past decade and it's very disheartening to go without a proper diagnosis and treatment for so long. Compared to my old self, I'm definitely playing life on hard mode and I just don't have the energy for it any longer.

Im not afraid of death. Ceasing to exist would be a lot easier than struggling every day. I'm more afraid that my life won't ever get any easier and I just have to sit in and go through the motions, without actually living and enjoying life.
Arguably, Xilinx and Altera are no longer independent manufacturers, having been bought by AMD and Intel.
Whilst those are the major players, there are independent FPGA manufacturers other than those two, Lattice (notable for having an open source toolset) and the PolarFire family from Microsemi, plus Gowin from China.
You are much more likely to get fired and lose all your income than for the stock to lose that much value, so the difference in risk between stock and cash is therefore minimal.

Edit: Just to clarify, $300k as a senior engineer is without any stock appreciation at all. I made $250k as one step below senior without any stock appreciation at all. My point about significant stock changes is for significant stock changes downwards, meaning if the Google stock somehow lost 50% of their value or something like that.

Another perspective from somebody who used to answer yes for some years: thinking about your health too much is a thing. Try to live as healthy as you can: unprocessed food, drink mostly water, avoid stimulants, exercise, regular sleep, limit screen time, etc. But don't obsess over any of it. Thinking about it, analyzing every sleepless night, bad feeling and chest pain is not healthy at all. I've been there and know other people who have. It starts as a normal concern over one's health but it can become an obsession and a downward spiral. Nowadays I rely on other people in my life to observe from outside if there's obviously something changed about me that might require action.

Obviously the opposite extreme exists as well: people who are in terrible health condition and don't even notice. So again, self evaluation is not very good.
