Duties are another funny thing. At least in Canada, bike stuff from China has variable duties:

> Importing a complete, assembled bicycle will cost you 13 per cent in duty. If you're just bringing the frame in, that's a five per cent tariff, and if you're importing complete wheels, there's a 6.5 per cent tariff.

So, if you import tires and rims separately (even in the same package), there's no tariff! Frame + other parts, and you only pay on the frame.

Nothing useful for that either.
people growing up online today would rather skip ads after 5 seconds than watch commercials on traditional television or listen to advertisements on the radio. It isn't odd in my opinion.
I experienced the opposite, because YouTube would allow their local caching servers in my ISP's datacentre to get congested. Popular videos wouldn't stream at all, but unpopular niche content was fine because it went straight out to the internet.
I think drawing direct equivalence to the CIA and what the FSB get up to is a little strong. It's a popular thing to say on HN, but if it were true it would mean there's evidence of (say) finding the CIA planting bombs the day after 9/11 in a different skyscraper i.e. The Moscow apartment bombings.

Mass surveillance is a different matter, although I don't think that (nominally at least) falls under the CIA's remit
Sorry about that, it is just that ICE were probably breaking the law when they engaged in child separation. The parent is asking if it couldn’t simply be the case that evil things would rather be illegal then up to a company. Unfortunately we demonstrably live in a world where evil things that are probably illegal are still done by a government sanction agencies. Child separation is the thing that they do which demonstrates this. That is why I moved the benchmark.
If you disable the interrupts, does that mean any incoming events get ignored, or simply queued for later? If the former, that sounds like you risk missing something important.
This is a similar observation I've made on BB. When CC went under, I was fairly certain that BB was on the chopping block next, and I though Fry's would be the last one standing. Forward 15 years and the fortunes of BB and Fry's seem vastly different. Although I'm not sure how they accomplished this, buying last second supplies over the last few years when I ran a business shifted back to BB, because they managed their inventory better than Fry's and had more items in stock when we needed it in a pinch. So convenience and sufficient selection, with good enough prices are somewhere in that playbook
Nope sorry, “legacy finance” is not going to die in ten years. This is a legacy finance and fintech world for the foreseeable future. Bitcoin and the like are microscopic compared to the trillions in legacy finance. You gonna run billions of transactions between money center banks with some code off github? Right. People have been “predicting” the death of COBOL and C for a long time. Still running the world they are.
There was non-zero risk but it wasn’t remotely similar.

These machines dialed up bbs. No internet, no volumes of personal data like hd video and photos.

You didn’t have bank websites or online payment tools you could use people’s data to defraud.

My point is there no fitting the days of pc clones over today and having some direct comparison around “openness.”
Most (all ?) youtube vides fall in to virtually zero value category - but youtube as a platform is worth 15 bucks a month to me.

I must admit I would only subscribe to a written publication if I get a printed copy occasionally, but anyway like youtube I don't find individual peaces of content worth it I might find the publication valuable.

I don't see myself paying for blog article access ever - if you write outside of some publication it should either be self-promotion, exercise, or a labor of love and desire for exposure - attempting to monetise that sucks with advertising or without it - don't write those kinds of things.

I feel the same about OSS projects.

A way to invert this is to do a lot of good content consistently so you become a consistent source of valuable material - then it could fit Patreon model but I must admit I've haven't encountered someone I would sponsor like this yet. I will think about it more in the future.
It is in v0, breaking changes are expected. If the new version is not compatible, wait until it is and then upgrade. It is also completely reasonable to not want to use it until it is stable.
Afaik all of those things work fine with wayland, at least with wlroots. It is true that wayland isn't network transparent, but it can be used over the network with things like wayvnc and waypipe. Now you can say that those aren't really mature yet, and I would agree with you. I think wayland's readiness is often over-exagerated. However, I don't think any of the things you pointed out are compelling evudence that wayland isn't unix like.

Otoh, I do think wayland departs from Unix in how it requires the "compositor" to perform to many roles. While in X, the compositor, window manager, etc. can be and often are seperarate processes from the x server, in wayland the compositor also needs to be the window manager, the keyboard layout manager, xwayland server, etc. And at least according some developers for a popular desktop environment, it is also the compositors responsibility to perform other tasks such as screen capture, vnc server, taskbar, lockscreen, etc. It isn't possible to do something like use i3 as the window manager for kde in wayland.

this is interesting, both because I've had a somewhat similar experience (my code is now much less indented than it was 10 years ago), and also because it does seem to hold some explanatory power for why some people seem to react so violently to Python's semantic whitespace.

I hear the argument quite frequently that semantic whitespace makes it hard to move code around (or that it causes code to get messed up in various ways) and I keep wondering why that doesn't describe my own experience as a daily user of Python. Maybe a lot of it is that I tend to avoid more than a couple of levels of indentation like the plague, and therefore it's rare for there to be any confusion about where a particular line of code would "belong".

A company choosing whether to actively participate in US immigration policy is not the same thing as a company choosing to run its own immigration policy.

Is your defense of IBM’s work in Germany in the 1930s also that they were just following the law and were therefore (as you’re implying) politically neutral?
This is used by the Ganesha project (userspace NFS server). Look for the symbol "container_of" and usages of it in https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/ (disclaimer: I'm a minor contributor).

The way it's used is that Ganesha supports defining of alternate filesystem backends and serving them as NFS shares. Handles to objects (e.g. files) would exist as pointers which live inside the struct of the backend's handle struct. i.e.:

struct my_file_data {
struct ganesha_file_data {
// generic data
};

// data specific to my module
};

The "my" module would take pointers to ganesha_file_data when the NFS core code calls it. The "my" module then uses container_of to convert ganesha_file_data ptr to my_file_data ptr.
They definitely do, but we have much better historical data about the time course and about how to care for them so that they don't go as quickly. There is also the possibility to stamp them out of something that is more resistant to decay.

Some of my thinking was that so long as the decay was decorrelated multiple copies of the same record could provide redundancy, though that applies to many other candidate media for these kinds of projects as well.

The best option for long term archive is probably still characters printed out on paper, but getting that back into a working system can be quite a bit harder depending on the size of the codebase you want to restore. Of course all these assumptions are probably wildly inaccurate about the relative probably of events, e.g. of someone having a record player and a functional CPU while also not having a scanner. However, another objective here was to reduce the number of steps that had to be performed by a human being that could go wrong. A run of the mill office scanner doesn't quite fit the bill because it might have been cannibalized to be the CPU and because scanning in 40MB of printed pages is much lower bandwidth than the record. So end the end the calculation comes out to be the relative likelihood of having a record player and a CPU but not a modern automated book scanning system, and there the odds seem very much in favor of the record player.

I have no reason to believe they ever stopped trying. They have probably tried other ways; mayhaps even more succesful but we are not authorized to know whether they did... because appaerently it's super important that their actions are secret "to protect democracy"? (or something like that)

This article sounds like it's calling for Ring to stop streaming video to the police without the owner's knowledge. But if you keep reading, you realize that it's calling for Ring to block the owners from streaming to law enforcement with their own PC. From the end of the article:

> "[Amazon and Ring] are not involved in any way with any of the companies or the city in connection with the pilot program. The companies, the police and the city that were discussed in the article do not have access to Ring’s systems or the Neighbors App. Ring customers have control and ownership of their devices and videos, and can choose to allow access as they wish."

Seems like a weird take to me. Is it legal to have a camera on your house pointing at the street? And is it legal for you to live-stream it? Those are rights you'll need to trample on to do something about this Ring/police thing.
Article said average ad/user is $8 a year. Even if you're a target user who commands high ad rates you're almost definitely more valuable as a subscriber.

Yes! C's monotony is its killer feature. Take away power when you are coding and you have more power to share the code and debug it.
What conspiracy theories dude? We said it wasn't backed by dollars, lo and behold, $850 million or 30% of the entire backing amount at the time had been siezed by authorities for being the proceeds of money laundering. It was all held by CryptoCapital, give them a quick Google lol.

We said it wasn't backed by dollars, they admitted it wasn't backed by dollars and instead crypto and swaps, and other ious. We said you couldn't redeem them, you can't. We said they didn't have a banking relationship, they don't and didn't. Crypto advocates keep pretending none of this is real because number go up.

The fact it's still around doesn't invalidate a single thing anyone's said and if anything time showed this all to be quite accurate.
"Lost it" is a real life usage situation for a watch and we don't yet have watches that return back to the owner on command.

That’s a pretty unfair comparison given you are comparing Department of Defense federal discretionary dollars to _all estimated expenses at all levels of government_.

Even if you just add the VA into the mix your numbers come out upside down. Add any segment of Homeland security and it gets really obvious fast.
Unfortunately there's this story https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/48857/former-head-of-cir... which says that legit investors wanted to buy on Bitfinex instead of a legit exchange so they had to first buy Tethers.
> 100 % of students can graduate debt-free

Can graduate debt-free, or do actually graduate debt-free?

This also seems to ignore parental debt. Many parents cannot afford to pay $12K a year (or more) and have to take out home equity or other loans in order to pay the parental contribution that the university financial aid office decides upon.

Does this include graduate and professional students?

And what about "big-name" schools that don't have Harvard's $41B endowment? Some monetarily "poorer" ivies (Dartmouth and Brown) have endowments that are tiny by comparison (though $6B or $5B isn't exactly chump change. Also they had terrific returns of 8% and 12% for 2020.)
Does this really exist?
When I was a kid, I left one of these at my grandmother's house after a trip in the late 80's, who lived in a different US state.

She shipped it back to me in a cookie tin with the current fruits of her garden, which happened to be fresh garlic.

Every time I see one these watches, I think of my watch that smelled like garlic forever.
A300 is very popular as a mini home server. Only catch is (AFAIU, have not tried yet) it wants a GPU to boot at all, so you’ll either have to put in an APU (eg 3200G/3400G) or a discrete GPU.

X300 is the successor BTW.

Your "not unix like" comments ring true, and similar ones have been brought up with systemd.

My "I don't care how we get the use cases done" point of view applies to systems just as it does wayland.

I don't care so much, so long as we preserve how robust UNIX is.

Now to be fair, I think doing that gets a lot harder as these kinds of efforts continue, but the door is open. May end up in a good place.

Personally, I wish all the current Wayland users and devs would experience an SGI X environment. Great experience.

If, at the end of the day, stuff ends up working that good, few will complain.
As much as political activists want to think the world revolves around them, it really doesn't.

Saying "but this other thing is vaguely political" (or religious) is no excuse to insist that your company get involved in your pet causes.
Bitfinex is one of the largest exchanges, and Tether is also used by many other exchanges like Binance.

It's not implausible to think that there's $13B of inflows to BTC this year.

This whole Tether speculation / hit piece is basically people thinking "It's implausible people want to buy bitcoin on the largest bitcoin exchanges".
Snark? There are easily 20 of them kicking around my house haha
>to be frank I think that your perspective does not consider the unintended consequences of the alternative.

This can be explained as whales/institutions telling BFX "I want $100M of BTC" and a human OTC trader at BFX executing it optimally.
I wonder what the largest checksummed file you could manually (well, programmatically) test every single bitflip against, rechecksumming to see if you found the bad bit, in a reasonable amount of time is.

1 kilobit of data seems pretty doable, only a thousand variants to check. Somewhere around 1 gigabit seems like it should be too much for consumer hardware -- if it takes 1 second to re-sum the data, that's ~30 years to test every bit flip.
For the lazy: This is talking about systemd-homed.
Well when it stops catastrophically collapsing after each major price rise, like...you know...a bubble, then we'll stop calling it that.
I prefer the Patreon model where I decide where the money goes. Content creators pay for everything else, why not video hosting too? Then it is up to them what ads if any they run.
I kinda agree with your sentiment. If not, then you have to be outspoken and vocal in other political issues in other countries like China, Israel, Palestine, India, Iran, Russia, France, UK, etc.

One can argue that we can limit our political activism inside US (btw, I'm not an American). Fair enough. But even if we do that, there are a lot of political issues in US. Let's say one employee cares about racism issue, then there is another employee who cares more about environment causes, and finally there is another employee who cares more about censorship. At one point, the resources of the company will be spread too thin to support all of these causes.
The RPi can, actually. Vanilla Debian 11 works fine. Only catch is you need to copy the bootloader and firmware (available in official GH repos) to the EFI partition. No need to patch the kernel, though.
National security meaning what in this case? American business interests worldwide?
Yeah, you're missing the difference between pegging and backing. Tether is supposed to be backed 1-for-1 by USD in a bank account and thus new Tethers should only be created when money is deposited into that account.
Also, couchDB 4 will have foundationDB as storage engine.

Ah, the memories! Around the fall of the Soviet Union, there was an IBM-compatible clone called Poisk. It was not 100% compatible with with IBM PC, had 128 KB built-in RAM (extensible to 640 KB with a card), had CGA graphics with a composite output only, no floppy interface without an addon, etc. But it was cheap, like really cheap and only needed a TV and a tape recorder to get going. I'd say Poisk was #2 home PC after gazillion of inexpensive ZX Spectrum clones.

Article mentions that tape interface was rarely used - that was definitely not the case in the (ex)USSR.

Anyway, having spent so much time with Poisk with cassette interface after ZX Spectrum, I can still distinguish PC vs ZX tapes by just listening to them - they have slightly different tonality.
A protection racket implies the "threat" is fake or choreographed. Are you implying China isn't hacking America, or pushing out it's maritime borders, or threatening US allies? These are all engineered threats somehow?

best watch I ever owned, I bought in 1981 when I had been late and locked out of my Monday morning physics class (Dr Poynton had standards, and you learnt fast), I walked to Dixon's and bought a Casio watch that seemed to do everything I ever wanted, I can't recall it's name, but it had a swordfish on its side and it was simply amazing. it died after many years, when being used by my brother, smashed face, very sad day.

This watch is amazing. It has everything a watch needs, no more no less. Its thin and light on the hand, has big numerals, great battery life, reasonable water resistance, cheap enough for you not to worry about it getting scratched. I bought one recently just to relive the nostalgia.
Python Extensions with Rust and Go
That seems pretty out of the scope of this article. An article about accessibility can be covered separately and most accessibility articles already recommend that color isn't the only indicator, so a warning/error is still distinguishable with icons & shapes & text.

It's kind of discouraging to see insinuations that the author doesn't consider certain people because an article doesn't explore and include caveats for everything.

Correct. This is the part of QM known as Interpretations, for which people cannot agree on a single viewpoint, and hence do not agree on which axiom to add to the theory.

The measurement / collapse / decoherence / forking-of-worlds / entanglement-with-the-environment is either time-irreversible by definition, or time-irreversible FAPP.

For example, Penrose proposes that the gravitational field induces one of these time-irreversible processes:

How I Spend My Attention
The VA budget is ~200B/yr right? Maybe a bit more?
Homeland Security is ~50B?

If we include all of both of those (and I would contend that "all" isn't really appropriate if we're just talking about the "military") we're around a trillion or so on the military.

Let's take the 740B on government spending on primary + secondary education and add the 175B or so spent by various levels of governments on college. That gets you to 915B. Is there 100B of private spending a year on education? I'm willing to bet there is.

At the end of the day, the numbers are probably pretty close. My overall point is that there is this idea that US military spending dwarfs US education spending. However you do the math, this is clearly not the case.
