Will Norwegian fly any plane again?

They are basically bankrupt and are counting on government handouts to save them now. Luckily for Norwegian, they have been a popular investment for "normal people", putting their savings in the company. So when they did an re-issue of stocks last year peopled gobbled them up, thinking that they got it for a good price. Of course ignoring that it was a 50-1 split or something in there as well, so they won't become millionaires by the stock bouncing back to what it used to be.

As for bailouts by the government, they are banking on the rhetoric that they think Norwegian gov should "save the workplaces!" and "save the domestic flights!". I don't buy it, if those things are worth doing, someone else will pick it up when Norwegian fails. The risk of playing fast and loose with their loans and capital to expand so fast should be their own.
Typical strawman argument with no logical reasoning.
Posting this from a throwaway just to be safe.

For people outside India, here's what you can expect to see in terms of comments in this thread:

- New accounts defending the government

- People saying things like "stop interfering in India's business you Western people"

- Badmouthing Mozilla with dysfunctional arguments against things

- People bringing up examples like "but XYZ did the same, I don't see why this government gets all the blame"

- Outright saying racist things against non-Indians

Basically anything and everything to justify the actions Mozilla thinks are bad.

I don't know how it looks like from outside, but things have been pretty bad. Google "IT Cell" with the country name.

TLDR: It almost feels like a dystopia, and this is another step to make that happen.
Show HN: Handy Text Summarizer for Students
I am fascinated by these IF engines for some reason. What sets the Dialog apart is, IMHO, the performance it gets on 6502 in combination with the Å-machine VM by the same author. It's a domain specific language + optimized compiler + runtime for a platform (C64) that hasn't been made for decades. There are some excellent Z-machine impls for C64, but basically anything using the Inform7 runtime (a bunch of convenience parsing and world tricks) runs like a dog. Dialog + Å-machines gets a respectable and growing amount of the way there but cutting out the middle man.

This is not a complexity issue with the function. The function is linear to the input, as it should be. The problem is that the implementation does more work then it needs to (it doesn't need the length of the string). It should be linear to the end of parsing not the end of string. The complexity in this case comes from the loops calling it.
I'm not saying it's not anonymous, just that it's impossible to assert the anonymity.

Also, I saw a lot of "anonymous" clickstream data offered by other companies, which was often trivial to de-anonymize. We did a DEF CON 25 talk about it, just google "Dark Data DEF CON 25". Robustly anonymizing high-dimensional data like user clickstreams is practically impossible, and often knowing a combination of 4-7 websites a user regularly visits is enough to identify him/her in a pool of millions of users (see the talk for details), so I'm highly doubtful about any company that claims it can robustly anonymize such data. If you're confident your data is anonymous why not release a large sample and have researchers look at it?

So while I'm not saying Ghostery is also doing that I don't have a lot of good faith in these data collection practices in general (also, I think before Cliqz acquired Ghostery it collected a lot of data like cookies from the users). Again, it's a smart way to collect data but I wouldn't call it very privacy-friendly.
Quarantine did made women with children loose their jobs a lot more then men. But it is not because they would want to loose income, it is because most childcare falls more on women even if both partners work from home. It is not voluntary single income or no income, it is struggling by.

You also cant ignore gender in the aspect of "who is the one with income and who is the dependent one seemingly spending money he earned while seemingly not working". The ressentments the stemed from that and unsolvable dysfunction made too many families life into suffering.
> If your C code has UB, it is wrong.

This goes against the sheer notion of UB. If some code was wrong, the standard would say it is not allowed and it would result in a compile error, or at least a runtime error. As it is, the language standards choose to leave it open almost as if to concede that the standard can’t cover every base. UB isn’t wrong, almost by definition. It’s just implementation specific, and that’s my point. We don’t have an overarching C language, we have a hundred or so C dialects.
That's normal, as the rockets don't run an OS, run a specific , very explicitly defined, embedded program, with known states.

In fact, it's common in real time applications to pre-allocate everything you need at the start of the program or use static memory, and never allocate afterwards.

There are many implementations of the C standard library and thy may not have the same complexity. In this case the code has the right complexity(linear) but to the wrong n (string length instead of parse length)
If you look near the end of the line for each result, that % value is the margin of error.

> readFileP x 2,182 ops/sec ±4.00% (67 runs sampled)

This means readFileP took between 2,094 and 2,270 ops/second.

> fs.readFile x 2,045 ops/sec ±6.43%

This means fs.readFile took between 1,913 and 2,176 ops/second.

So its possible it did run faster, but it's also possible it ran slower. You'd probably need to run it a lot more times to have an answer.

I tried Flutter but I just couldn't stand the Dart language. Building interfaces is a PITA too. Crazy nesting is unavoidable even if you split things up into separate methods/components. React Native is much better in this regard.

Digital Minimalism: How to win the zero-sum game of Social Media
It's not like you can't get pc games packed with micro transactions, loot boxes, asset flips, etc. You probably just know not to buy them, you could do the same research for mobile, there are plenty of mobile games that don't follow the model.
I would say to a non computer literate, the state of the pc software industry in general is just as spammy, perhaps even worse as it's much more mature, it is harder to get the worst through google play and the app store.
Sure, but you also get really powerful ecosystems with those languages. Which can't be said about Dart + Flutter, where most of those packages are amateur quality.

There is always a fix for your own code but that’s not the problem. The issue is all the millions of lines of code in the wild that are intended to be compiled without that option.
Exactly. The problem isn't the bug itself or the developers who introduced it. The problem is they simply didn't care enough about their billion dollar game to fix the problem over seven years after release until someone got mad enough to reverse engineer the game, figure out why it was so slow and fix it on their behalf.

People will always make mistakes but it's how they deal with them that matters. Gotta have enough pride in one's work to be bothered when it performs badly. Having an user fix their billion dollar project for them just because they couldn't be bothered is just embarrassing.
In your biased elite opinion, of course. A vast majority of people have no problem with pay to win in the games they play.
> I agree with you that VAT would be cool to have as the sole tax, though.

I’m sure it’s cool if you’re worth a few millions or above. VATs are highly regressive taxes, though they are also consumption disincentives (essentially luxury taxes on a number of non-luxury, which is why essentials like food tend to be low-rated).
> [0] of course, there is a chance that you just discovered a hash collision, but that is exceedingly unlikely. It also means that Gab would have accepted 'password' as the password for that user anyway, even if the string they typed in was 'warblerer' (which it would also accept).

I don't think password policy enforcement can be reasonably done after the hashing. You cannot apply password rules as information about length and specific characters is lost; applying a blacklist would also be exceedingly expensive as you'd need to hash each word in your list with the selected salt.

For what it's worth, I'm not actually surprised you left Facebook when you did. A solid half year of covid meant that you stopped having to interact with folks, in person, that might've reminded you what real people that disagree with you are like, rather than just the caricatures.

I worked in a high end jewelry store for about two years (the kind you get buzzed into, in downtown Palo Alto, during the first dot com, across from the police). We daily sold six-figure jewelry and the store had tens of millions in inventory easily.

Never once was I searched.

There is an Apple Store a few blocks from that location. They were getting searched to make sure no one left with headphones.
Perhaps if you have a certain kind of monitor, presumably an expensive one? I have a no-TB 2017 MBP that has two ports, and I use one to charge and the other to connect a monitor over HDMI. That means I have zero free ports.

And since I run in clamshell mode, I can't even unplug the power cord temporarily, as the computer will only run in clamshell mode if it is plugged into power.

I do have an Anker mini-dock dongle, but it gets very hot when I use it, so I only use it when necessary. Also, it annoyingly cannot be used to charge any devices, so I can't even plug my iPhone into it to charge. I'm sure there are some other docks out there that are better, but when I was looking in 2017 it wasn't clear which ones those were (aside from the $200+ ones, which I wasn't about to purchase).
That's why I'm saying to avoid the start time and to have editor and generator run in the same JVM. Ah if local serverless was a thing...

Some people like to add "pepper" in addition to salt. Salt would be a unique value that's combined with each password. Pepper is a global secret combined with the unique salt, that is not stored near the passwords (e.g. stored in a config file). The idea being in an sql injection, you can typically dump the entire db but not config files or anything else. Of course if they totally take over your server you are still just as screwed, and if you have sql injections you likely have other vulns too.

I've once reserved instances in the wrong region, but (luckily) found this out the same day, and got it refunded the day after. Would have been the equivalent of a year of salary down the drain otherwise.

This isn't happening in isolation. India's adversaries like China and Pakistan are dictatorships.

There is asymmetry in information warfare.

The media giants are not exactly neutral and are already involved in content vetting.

India still has an independent judiciary, and the democratically elected government has the mandate to regulate.
Govt shouldn’t but they would want to.

The foreign social media sites have political agenda blatantly well “foreign”.

Media houses are strictly regulated and have to abide much stringent criteria for reporting or an oped.

It’s about control it was in the best interest of these tech firms to be “neutral” before they captured the entire public discourse space. That is clearly not the case now, They have infinitely more power than they had before and even more power than the sovereign government in many many countries.

Some governments are trying to protect their (digital) sovereignty through regulation.
