> This is just an awful argument. It's basically "things used to be worse, so you shouldn't say it's still bad".

No, the argument is “things used to be more extreme in this precise area, so the argument that the present situation is a new and unique historical threat is false”.
I don't actually auto pay any of my credit cards.

I keep my checking account balance intentionally low and often run into times where paying off my cards would overdraft me.

I don't think it's all that crazy of a thing to do, I just don't do it.
You don't need any specific instructions. The hex encoded double contains the final binary representation of the floating point number. So no conversion is required to load it, except maybe for swapping around bytes on some architectures. Conceptually:

double v;
memcpy(&v, "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xe4\x94\x40", sizeof(v)); // LE

ICQ was like that since the mid 90's.
This article comes across as very "inside baseball" i.e. the crowd who are intimately familiar with the ongoing melodrama in journalism, the history of the NY Times, etc. See his reference to his "until now anonymous comments in an internal Times report", for example
In addition to the "panic", there were apocryphal tales about local farmers getting their guns to fight the Martians. It was said that they shot at a water tower, which in the dark, they thought was one of the tripods. That story was debunked by Skeptical Inquirer some time ago:

Xiaomi phones have unlockable bootloaders, so rooting is really trivial, but guess what? You need a Xiaomi account to unlock the bootloader too! And they make you wait several days to do it.

And no, you can't break an Android device by rooting it. Worst case you'll have to reflash the system partition through recovery.

autopay on a credit card is great.

Yeah I've got a pihole and an openwrt router (Nanopi R4S is amazing bang per buck btw) configured to point to the pihole.

Yet some stuff is leaking past it (mainly iphone) hence my interest in forcing things. I suspect its connected to the fact that ipv6 resolves faster than ipv4 for me somehow but can't quite place what's wrong...because it is catching some ipv6 traffic so its not like the ipv6 pihole is broken broken.

>Otherwise you'll need to set up a firewall rule to redirect all DNS requests.

Yes...the whole chain concept openwrt has going is something I haven't wrapped my head around yet so no rule writing for now
It's just noise/bullshit on Twitter.

The Apple Card t&c are here: https://www.goldmansachs.com/terms-and-conditions/Apple-Card...

They prominently mention any reference to iCloud, etc as your "Apple ID" and "account" is used with respect to the financial account. On page 11, consequences of "Default" include suspension of your "account". You are required to use a "Required Device", and specifically an Apple ID in "good standing" with Apple and Apple two-factor auth.

My guess is that if anything happened to this guy, he did something to fubar his Apple ID, which then fubared his Apple Card.
It's not a binary choice, you don't have to just care about wealth and optimize for it while ignoring everything else.

I read your original reply and other replies and I think you're the one conflating the point. Many people prioritize wealth but still enjoy life...like myself. I don't regret anything and am very happy day to day.

Starship moved to tiles too, instead of transpirational cooling, it will likely require refurbishment.

If shuttle had continued on tile inspection could have likely moved to machine vision based approaches, maybe they will be able to use something like that to keep refurb costs down on spacex's shuttle/starship.
It allows limited forms of private property and profit seeking in order to develop the productive forces. It’s a way to avoid invasion or sanctions by the US while keeping the working class in control of the state.

China doesn’t extract profits through the export of capital at usury rates from other countries at gunpoint, though. It is not imperialist.
I added some clarification in another reply.

To your point, I don't know for fact just as you don't know for fact I'm wrong. And this could even be a false claim without having some sort of proof. Maybe my wording was to deterministic and should've been worded as more a "possibility", but a complex system like this takes a ton of requirements and testing and it is super hard to see Apple not paying attention to this specific issue.

You don't know my opinion of Apple. I generally like Apple and use them for quite a lot of things. Sure, maybe they are priced too high on some hardware (IMO) and some app store policies I dislike but overall I don't view them as evil and I build things for their platform because it is worth it. Apple simply takes advantage of their platform and why wouldn't they?

My one complaint with Apple is just wanting to know all the rules ahead of time so we can play by the rules, and sometimes it does feel like we find many of the rules out through this type of scenario versus Apple being 100% transparent up front.

I am truly appalled at the level of discussion from intellectuals as I consider on HN. Comments here are repeatedly evaluating whether the same thing would apply to US.

I expect more from HN. Can we please discuss the problem in isolation and especially the interesting technical bits? Ask yourself, this kind of exploitation is bad regardless of whether any country does something similar. It's anti-user in every possible interpretation.

That's true if you're an established author and create a new itentity. If you've never published fiction though, there'd be no corpus to train on. What the article is saying is is that it's difficult for new artists to establish themselves, but in this case, I think psuedoanonymity is a good idea if you have any topics or ideas that you worry would cause a backlash.
This seems to sort of elide the extremely popular and lucrative media ecosystem of the "IDW"/"free speech movement"/anti-woke movement.

Certainly it's true that the Overton window has shifted in large sections of the legacy media, but the Overton window always existed. The idea that its illegitimate for a private organization to shift their personal Overton window seems vaguely authoritarian to me.

Anyway it's never been easier to grow, reach, and monetize your personal audience (substack, podcasts, etc.) without gatekeepers.
But the trigger for the run in defined in the workflow file.

So even if you have a workflow that requires a manual trigger, I can just fork, and create a PR that updates that trigger to be `pull_request` and the workflow will run as soon as I create the PR. I don't need the PR to be accepted before I can start running arbitrary code on your self-hosted runner.

Or am I missing something?

> #1 was written in the 13th century, #2 in the 5th century BC and #3 in the 8th century BC.

Not true. These all appear to be fake quotes. Apparently #1 are not words of Peter the Hermit, #2 not words of Socrates/Plato, #3 not found in Hesiod.

#2 seems to be from 1907.[0] There are claims on the web it's a paraphrase of a speech of Justice in Aristophanes' comedy The Clouds[1], but I don't see much resemblance.

This[2] page contains all 3 quotes, #2 prefaced by "You may have seen this quote, often (apparently inaccurately) attributed to Socrates", then claims the other two quotes are real. But he links to a 2004 discussion page[3], which under quote #1 says "It should be noted that the attribution of this quote to Peter the Hermit is as shaky as the attribution of the other quote to Socrates."

I tend to be a proponent of the resource model of cognition. E.g. you have a limited budget of willpower in a given day, and when you run out of it, it becomes much harder to resist that piece of chocolate cake in the fridge.

By the same token, I would find it plausible to believe you have a certain budget of decisions to be made, or problems to be solved in a given period of time before quality goes down.

I think it's likely this is also something like a muscle that can be trained over time.
I don't agree with the article that reducing pressure is the most important thing. It's not particularly helpful advice when you do find yourself with a time crunch.

Instead, I'd say there's a difference in quality of thinking. If ten minutes go by while you're trying to make a decision, how many distinct thoughts have you had? Did you just replay a given scenario 8 times over and over in your head? Did you just stress about the worst possible scenario the whole time? Or did you consider things from different directions and dig into possible different outcomes, as well as the input data you have available?

I see it similar to the "do you have ten years of experience, or one year of experience ten times?" saying about what you do (or don't) learn in a job...

> Plenty of companies seem to think that seeming like "a good company" is a sufficient business reason to do a post-mortem.

'good company' to what audience? Hackers and security people and 'nerds'. How big is that audience? You don't make business decisions based like that. It's business after all.

Look at all the (for lack of a better way to put it) 'dicked off' things Apple has done. They pissed off (and continue to piss off) very diverse groups of people and companies that interact with them. In the end the vast majority of the Apple customers (the people who pay them money) don't care about this at all.

Note I didn't say that things couldn't be shared with direct and important groups of people. Just that it didn't have to be open and public and broadcast in any way as entertainment or help for the community at large.

In large software companies that have whole GUI/human interface design departments, they do lots of R&D and testing of interfaces. Traditional things like putting people with new software interfaces in rooms with video cameras and one-way mirrors of staff watching.

It would be very interesting to see a random sampling of 20 'non technical' users presented with such a phone, and given instructions simply "here is your new phone, please unbox it and connect it to the wifi and do things on the internet for three hours". Record a video of their interactions with the screen.

In my experience the vast, overwhelming majority of people when presented with a software popup like "Do you accept the license agreement to use this calculator?" will simply click yes/accept/okay/proceed as quickly as possible and disregard what it actually means.

I have a theory that a very small percentage of persons would actually balk or become suspicious of seeing something like a privacy policy agreement for a photo gallery or music player.

And like so many things, we're blind to how our economic systems are throwing sand in the gears of our technical ones.

I love your point that shipping a library (of code to locally execute) with a good API would outperform an online HTTPS API for almost all tasks.
And yet all the implementations are actually just functional recursion, in practice, no?
Your counter argument seems to imply that people who work in finance don't share the same reality as the rest of us. I think that plays into a fundamental human error; for some reason when looking at individual industries we can see that the people can put in more or less the same amount of effort and get different results, but on a national scale we attribute effort much more highly, to the point we call losers lazy.

To be clear I'm not saying there isn't a level of difference in talent or work ethic; what I'm arguing is that viewing the world that way makes for terrible government policy. When someone says something like "welfare makes people lazy", they are making the mistake you are. Somehow the imaginary "real life work" is directly correlated with effort, but actual finance jobs are not.
We seem to be throwing greater and greater quantities of frivolous shit into LEO. Are people in the industry not worried about Kessler syndrome?
Certainly, ingredients such as hard work and talent help make success more likely.

There are successful companies and products that don't seem to have a lot of either behind them beyond the initial work to find a successful niche, that they've leveraged to great success. And companies and projects have failed despite having both of those because of circumstances outside of their control.

Just like people, companies are products of their environment. Why -doesn't- someone work hard? Or make the right choices? Because either of their environment, what they've learned, or because of who they were born as. Neither of those is under their control. And even if they do, and it doesn't pan out, why didn't it pan out? Again, factors outside of their control.

Right, I meant is it allowed by Chinese law to NOT spy for the government. As I understand it, to be allowed to operate in China as a Chinese company, you are under the obligation to provide any information you collect to the gov't upon request. Is that not the case?
Well, "the grid" is not literally like "roads"; they have all sorts of difference in practice in terms of who interacts with them and in what ways... So equating them in some way is absolutely an analogy.
> Why on earth would you set up auto-pay?

Because it's super convenient. I resisted a long time and just had some of my accounts set to pay minimum payments, but that got expensive when I forgot to make manual payments.

Regardless, the important bit here isn't so much that he forgot autopay, it's that he didn't pay at all for 3 months.

In my experience, airline “price optimization” is wildly overblown a boogeyman tale.

Airlines price classes of seats individually. If one is sold, the next user sees a different price. A rule based system is fairly common. They’re not using RL or dynamic pricing algorithms. In fact, I’d wager most don’t have the technical expertise or even data (with the rise of meta-search) to do so.
