In embedded devices, the on-die temperature sensor can theoretically be used as a countermeasure to (the equally theoretical) high temperature fault injection attacks - the attackers heat up the chip until it starts flipping bits, then some security checks can be bypassed (e.g. see [0]). It's often proposed by the literature that the firmware should read the on-die temperature sensor constantly, and when it's outside the nominal operating range, halt execution, and possibly erase secret.

However, while it's often proposed as such, I don't think it's actually useful - thermal fault injection is a real threat, but I said "theoretical" since it's the least of your problems when the attacker has physical access - both clock and power fault injection are easier. Nevertheless, at least a countermeasure to thermal faults is reasonable if you are just protecting a smartcard where everything is on a single chip. On the other hand, for a computer motherboard, such a sensor looks pretty useless. The target is simply too large to be protected (unless you can seal the entire system in a box fitted with sensors like a hardware security module). But I guess it is still a theoretical security feature, thus it was listed as such despite its uselessness.

> [...] We further presentheating faults by operating the devices beyond their specified temperature ratings. The efficiency of this kind of attack is shown by a practical attack on an RSA implementation. Finally, we introduce data remanence attacks on AVR microcontrollers that exploit the Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) property of internal SRAM cells. We show howto recover parts of the internal memory and present first results on an ATmega162. The work encourages the awareness of temperature-based attacks that are known for years now but not well described in literature. It also serves as a starting point for further research investigations.
Well there will be a ARM Mac Pro, so hopefully that will be rack mountable. And any Cloud customer can have it hosted.

I do wish they have less restriction on macOS usage timing. And a services for Web Developers to test their site on Safari. Which is currently impossible to do with buying a Mac.
It makes sense to me. I had a pretty tough time going through Covid - bear in mind I really took care of my vit D intake, sun exposure and healthy food, exercise in months before. One thing I always lack is probably sleep. And then - living with my gf (she must have had it from me, can't imagine she wouldn't catch it) who had no signs of covid, with one thing she always get plenty of - sleep.
There's a pretty big risk of market distortions then. I could easily see landowners adding whatever "improvements" the tax credit incentivizes, regardless of whether it benefits the tenant or increases the potential rent charged, and then passing the cost along to the tenant. Also see a booming cottage industry of contractors & paper-pushers to get the tax credit.

I do agree that an LVT has psychological issues when proposed to voters. It's a massive change to how we currently do things (that's the point!), and it preferences groups who don't currently have political power (future developers, tenants, future residents) over those who do (land speculators, retirees, existing homeowners). I think the most likely scenario for its adoption is in the aftermath of a cataclysmic war that destroys all the existing infrastructure and redraws political boundaries. Likely one successor polity might try it out (since everything's dead & destroyed anyway), and then their pro-development advantages would draw lots of displaced immigrants to them, and eventually they'd amass more power than their neighbors through that economic dynamism. Much like how the U.S. became the pre-eminent global power through an innovative politico-economic system + immigration friendly policies + near complete genocide of the native population.
You're still missing the most important component for affordability: more housing. Not simply conversion of existing market-sold housing to price controlled, but more.

Lets say that everything gets converted to rent-controlled in an area. A child becomes 18, graduates from high school, and wants to stay close to their family to maintain their emotional connections. If everything is rent-controlled, but not enough housing is built, they have to be on some sort of waitlist or lottery to stay in the area. This will push out so many people.

The only solution is to make enough housing for the people that want to live in an area. Without that, we are rationing it by price, by lottery, or by waitlist, and all of those will destroy the emotional connections that both you and I want to maintain.
CT has a different problem, they kicked the labor expenses 30 to 50 years into the future via underfunded defined benefit pension benefit, retiree healthcare, and other deferred compensation.

They don’t have a tier 1 city which people are willing to pay a premium to live in, and the taxpayers today are balking at paying for labor performed decades ago.

I’d be wary of starting a business subject to a relatively deeply indebted government if I had other options.
Have you met kids? They suck, especially to other kids.
I found an article on the subject and the following is an excerpt:

The answer to the question “does the party control a company?” is that it is impossible to tell. In the current environment, fewer foreign governments want to give Beijing the benefit of the doubt. If there was any question as to who was in charge of the economy and business, Xi’s local and overseas critics alike only have to take the Chinese leader at his word, that in private enterprises, as with state-owned firms and every institution in China, the party is the ultimate authority.

Yes, Apple requires a 24-hour minimum.
Other comments mentioned that NIMBYs don't want their neighbours to upzone either.
I’m relatively sure that Accelerate does work fine on intel processors and is still the recommended means of doing heavy math. But that could just be because they knew of this eventual future. I’m not sure what Accelerate does under the hood for intel machines. But I would assume perhaps falls back to whatever intel might support.
> One application of vertical that does make sense to me is as a community hub or a public health initiative around healthy eating. See https://www.thegrowcer.ca/ who makes container farms for isolated communities in northern Canada and measures success by community outcomes and entrepreneurs inspired

The amount of subsidies poured into this lifestyle must be unbelievable. The whole thing has to be flown-in, including fuel to operate it. Before that what did these communities eat?
Keeping cetaceans in captivity is cruel and unnecessary and our desire to "help kids learn" isn't a justification. France agreed to phase out cetacean displays and we should, too. It's barbaric.
This is true, and will remain true until prop 13 is repealed.

The same dynamic is at play between San Jose and Mountain View/Cupertino/Palo Alto.
Yes. It's licensing.
Glenn Greenwald: Big Tech is censoring Covid debate
I was thinking autocorrect, but that's also plausible.
That's the only reason I need them, to compile a binary and submit it. But can apple dictate licensing terms like this? If aws buys a mac, can't they use it however they like? Or are there terms limiting this in the purchase agreement.
None of your points are unique to game development. Moving goal posts and requirements changing constantly is a challenge at literally every single development job I've had. There is an eternal back and forth between what the sales team says the software can do, and what the programmers desperately attempt to account for late in the development cycle. Plenty of teams have idiosyncrasies around their tool chain, refuse to reflect on it and maintain that their project is a special case to justify all the mess.
We have this in many neighbourhoods of Montréal, but with exterior staircases.

A collage of examples: https://montrealstreetfrench.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/esc...

In the summer it's incredibly common to find people hanging out on the 2nd level landings, having morning coffee at a little table, playing music, or just soaking up some sun.

Because there's almost no shared interior space (since the staircases are all on the outside), it's more space-efficient, and also gives people a bit more privacy since everyone has their own entrance from the outside.
I want to second EconTalk. Fantastic podcast. He is very much a free-market economist tho. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he is of Austrian school of economics?

Nonetheless, humanity shines through in his conversations. I'd say this podcast is more about human condition through economics. Cannot recommend it enough. Some of my favs

Watching Earth Burn – Remarkable Geostationary Photos
Some of the most desperate people I know are ones who grew up poor in a HCOL city (NYC, London, etc.) and who fell into low wage jobs.

At the same time as supporting the cities they live in doing all of the most fundamental work (cooking, cleaning, etc) they are regularly disrespected and told to fuck off somewhere else if they're struggling - away from the support network they rely upon and the friends and family who give their life meaning.

And yeah, some of them did move away but that sometimes made things worse because even though they might be financially slightly better situated in a different city, they didn't have a support network there.

Expensive housing is a political choice. Watering down the minimum wage was a political choice. These people falling through the cracks and suffering was the outcome of those deliberate choices to prioritize pumping up asset prices and profit margins over actual people.
Men love women, women love children, children love puppies. It's just the way the world is.

Othello is a good game for that. It has a small following of players around the world. It's just complicated enough to be strategically interesting but simple enough for a decent programmer to implement something that outperforms a human player.
How do you test the updates without a Mac? Sorry I’m sure I’m missing something
In other, other words, dollars are worth much less than companies. Companies are worth a little less than they were last year, but dollars are worth a lot less. The price of a share isn't the value of a share in absolute terms, it's the exchange rate between dollars and the company. Low interest rates is the Fed saying "get rid of your dollars," and high asset prices are the market saying "yes, sir."

According to the article, he used a representative to make the video available. I don't really see a problem with it being possible to own copyrights and file legal actions from prison; if it weren't possible, that would be a problem.

How much per month? Around $720?
Thank you. You demonstrate very well what the problem is with the Haskell community, and that in a topic about Haskell adoption.

For a language to be adopted it must be beginner friendly. And by beginner friendly, I don't mean easy. It can have a steep learning curve as long as it enables the user to be productive, otherwise the beginner will give up quickly.

For the experienced user things like, "don't use lazy IO", "there are partial functions on the Prelude", "String is slow", and "code may throw exceptions where you don't expect", may be obvious, but are not for the beginner. I don't remember exactly how I ended up using "lazy IO", but trust me it wasn't because I ignored a big fat warning that I should NOT be using it.

It's gotchas like these that prevent the beginner from being productive.

Then the beginner reaches out to the community sharing his experience and gets a defensive and passive aggressive reply like yours. It's enough to make them not want to touch that language ever again.

You think you are defending your favorite language, but actually you are doing more harm.
No. They all have flaws of some sort.

These days I am finding that nothing beats just pulling out my Mac and putting files in folders. For notes I use TextEdit. I can save PDFs of webpages in the folder, or go into Mail and save emails into the folder. iCloud syncs them between the various Macs well.

I have used Org Mode because it combined notes and task tracking but I found this to be increasingly unwieldy so I separated note taking and task tracking.

I do use the iPhone Notes app for basic things I need while on the go but not for anything fancy.

Good luck sifting through all the various apps but I'm tired of dealing with them.
You could incentivize them by offering to extend your lease early, if you can lock in a lower rent.

You should at least try to lower your rent. The worst thing that can happen is your rent doesn't change. You might get a discount, which you certainly won't get if you don't ask.
So when I buy a mac mini at Best Buy, am I somehow agreeing to that policy?

" there seems to be a growing view that "free speech" means that you should be able to say whatever you want (even if it's literally a factually untrue lie)"

This is a good point, however, it's worth pointing out that 'free speech' definitely covers 'untrue and false facts'.

I guess, if you're the President of the US, lying about election outcomes, the the results of the lies are so outrageous, that there may be some 'sanction' on a private platform.

I'm not sure what the 'censure' should be for private individuals, sometimes regular people have difficulty with the facts.
In the bigger picture Apple aren't really documenting anything for their new toys, which is not the end of the world but is a huge step back for openness. There is - as far as I can see - no long-form documentation for M1 other than patents.

I already refuse to own apple products so I don't really have any skin in the game, but consider that if microsoft were like this the blind eye would not be turned - buy our new product, everything you run is up to us, we won't document it, maybe we'll upstream the compiler, tough shit.

The fact that they can be like this is really proof that their market position is much stronger than most HNers seem to think it is.
> he was paying for his own college so he had to work for a year (restaurant jobs) to pay for each semester of college.

It wasn't four years, it was eight! The poor guy had to work a YEAR for every semester of college. The amount of value lost to society due to a lack of affordable education is unbelievable.
You’d need a serious mountain bike to get to the road and once you’d get there it would be incredibly dangerous to ride.

I did still have one but we rarely used it. There wasn’t anyone to see for miles.
so there has been an uptick in demand from the community. Covid has blown up the hobby in terms of size, as many more people have joined this year. and group buys are sold out in seconds (some to flip it for 300% the price, others who actually love/want the board)

Your fear is a century late. Really, all of civilized history late. The very clear trend of civilization is loss of agricultural jobs.

It seems to be over 10% is lost, based on the numbers in your prior comment.

All the lighting used so the plants can photosynthesize is not free... I also doubt power carbon neutral. So how much area of renewable energy sources would it take to run this farm? A traditional farm does not need powered light sources...
Cool project! As I read through I noticed that there doesn’t appear to be any explicit garbage collection, just stack-based deallocation. Is there something about the subset of lisp you implemented that removes the need for GC?
Big Sur's licensing states:

3. Leasing for Permitted Developer Services.
A. Leasing. You may lease or sublease a validly licensed version of the Apple Software in its entirety to
an individual or organization (each, a “Lessee”) provided that all of the following conditions are met:
(i) the leased Apple Software must be used for the sole purpose of providing Permitted
Developer Services and each Lessee must review and agree to be bound by the terms of this
License;
(ii) each lease period must be for a minimum period of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours;
This seems like exactly the kind of thing government should do.

- it doesn’t take away meaningful freedom (you can still buy the product)

- it regulates the right entity (the business is restricted but the individual isn’t)

- it’s at least a minor public good (fewer people will buy trash on impulse, probably resulting in at least a small public health improvement)

- there’s no moral hazard (no one can complain that it’s motivated by tax revenue)

- parents will have an easier time making healthy decisions for their kids

In my opinion, your response is an example of why the libertarian impulse is absurd. The only loser in this scenario is manufacturers who frankly prey on unhealthy impulses, and they deserve to lose.
I for one find this fascinating, please work on this!
Are there from-scratch tutorials based on any of these?

"so the URL would be obviously wrong": The average user have no idea that an URL could be "wrong".
So if you want to live in SF with kids you'll have to pay at least 3000$ per month. Is the pay scale there just completely inflated for non-tech jobs due to the tech jobs and if not, where do the policemen, teachers, cleaners and so forth live? I can't imagine them earning a salary in which paying 3000$ per month is sustainable? Where do all people with "normal" jobs live?
Were mini-kitchens the norm in September, or were they all on the market because suddenly everyone needed a full kitchen? If I lived in SF during the first lock downs, upgrading to a unit with a full kitchen would be very high on my housing priority list.

When we moved out of Santa Monica, our craptastic unit was re-rented inside the 30 day window and occupied two days after we left. Why? Because it had a tiny sliver of outdoor space, which suddenly mattered a lot. I imagine that all of the tiny condos in the area are staying on the market longer because the idea of WFH from less than 500sq ft. sounds awful to pretty much everyone now.
This doesn't pass the sniff test to me, at least for most COL levels. The only way that our household was able to reduce our food budget by eating out was to massively reduce quality in order to meet caloric needs. For roughly the equivalent quality of ingredients it was much cheaper for us to cook at home. And that's before we got a bigger house in a lower COL area with a chest freezer, which allows us to bank high quality ingredients when they're on sale or buy in bulk, especially for meat. I could probably eat cheaper still at McDonald's, but at the cost of my health.

Subjectively, I don't think that cooking at home is a "luxury". Maybe being a foodie is an upper class thing given the extra cost and time investment associated with it, but historically huge chunks of the middle class have cooked at home for a large chunk of their meals. Generally speaking only the lowest economic strata of the working poor depend heavily on fast & packaged food, and that's largely a factor of both time and ingredient availability. If you're working two or three jobs or live in a food desert, you're not going to cook at home no matter what the unit economics are.

That being said, I do have a general theory about high COL businesses. After moving out of our high COL city (Santa Monica, for the record), we've started building out a home gym and programming our own workouts. What we realized is that while our old gym provided a lot of knowledge and social structure, the primary service they offered was land and equipment. They were able to charge a premium because we literally couldn't afford enough land to put the equipment. Now that we live in a lower COL city with a large garage, the financial balance points towards it being cheaper to just buy all the equipment rather than paying for a gym membership. At the extreme end of land cost, I can see this even applying to kitchens too, since a good kitchen takes up a fairly large portion of an apartment.
Very interesting. I had not considered that possibility.

Interestingly my wife said the same thing when watching it but I think the opposite is true. Everything in the great before is volumetric, so not easy to render at all.
Public housing only makes rents go down on market-based properties when it can offer serious competition to those market-based properties, which means lots of new public housing. (Something that I fully support, and something that is actively being worked on by some groups in California, just not any of the supposed "tenant" groups that never support new housing.)

Even in Red Vienna or Singapore, there are still market-rate housing! And the only way they keep the market rate housing low is by having enough housing. Singapore, in particluar, is really good at building tons of public housing. And their policies would horrify all the preservationist fake-progressives in SF, because they just build build build, and do it at heights greater than three stories. And Vienna's public housing would similarly horrify the fake progressives in SF that stop all new housing.

Public housing is great, but if you're looking to see it happen in SF, look to the Mods, not the Progs.
I believe the idea is that the grass is always greener on the other side.
Do you think humanity has ever been anything other than amoral and spiritually impoverished at the global level?
> But really, the population-level malthusians have it wrong.

They were not wrong at all if their goal was to stem all of what you listed. They just knew from the beginning that all of what they said is not true. What they were saying was a lie.

The Population Council, eugenics freaks, and other yellow menace panickers were funded by the very same people who were running natalist policies in the West, and were trying to ban abortion, and women rights movements.

It's not correct to call them "Malthusians." The best name for them will be Luddites, and massive beneficiaries of economic status quo classes.
