The article you linked to is kind of confused and I'm not sure I blame them. This stuff is really complex!

According to the proposal[0], leaf certificates are prohibited from being signed with a validity window of more than 397 days by a CA/B[1] compliant Certificate authority. This is very VERY different from the cert not being valid. It means that a CA could absolutely make you a certificate that violated these rules. If a CA signed a certificate with a longer window, they would risk having their root CA removed from the CA/B trust store which would make their root certificate pretty much worthless.

To validate this, you can look at the CA certificates that Google has[2] that are set to expire in 2036 (scroll down to "Download CA certificates" and expand the "Root CAs" section) several of which have been issued since that CA/B governance change.

As of right now, as far as I know, Chrome will continue to trust certificates that are signed with a larger window. I've not heard anything about browsers enforcing validity windows or anything like that, but would be delighted to find out the ways that I'm wrong if you can point me to a link.

Further, your home made root certificate will almost certainly not be accepted by CA/B into their trust store (and it sounds like you wouldn't want that) which means you're not bound by their governance. Feel free to issue yourself a certificate that lasts 1000 years and certifies that you're made out of marshmallows or whatever you want. As long as you install the public part of the CA into your devices it'll work great and your phone/laptop/whatever will be 100% sure you're made out of puffed sugar.

I guess I have to disclose that I'm an xoogler who worked on certificate issuance infrastructure and that this is my opinion, that my opinons are bad and I should feel bad :zoidberg:.

Possible, if so it seems surprising that Apple would have any resistance to mentioning it in one of their many permission requesting dialogs.
Reddit is that way. That's where Dane Cook calibre word puns belong.

So the argument then goes something like:

A HA k8s- (or Heroku)- esque platform is more easily built, understood, and operated with Plan 9 because it comes out of the box with many of Docker (and Swarm's?) features.

Is that right?
If I'm reading this correctly your issue was not that he was mischaracterized as those things, but that rightly naming him those things is mean? What a soggy rebuttal. If its slanderous, show us. If it's not slander it's true, and it's not "mean" to label an abuser so. The linked letter puts forward proof. Are you refuting that wholesale?

I'm pre-conditioned to believe this, but I think I'd need to understand how generous in the US employment context the VSP is to refine my views further.

There's enough hook to hang this on. But, the overt language does go to a pivot. Of course, in the event a lot of people took the VSP, subsequently there might be re-hiring. It would be stupid for them to hire "editors", if they did hire people. Presumably, on some new terms and conditions.

The term "Proof of Vitalik" was coined to explain the difference in market value between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic after the split.

The value of having a Vitalik is clearly considerable, but it isn't infinite. He fundamentally must persuade, because he has no ability to command.

That's his legitimacy: people mostly do what he wants, even though they don't have to. If he loses the legitimacy, that's what he loses.
A conversational AI app, my startup profiled in the Mint Lounge
Calling on good folks at HN,

My start-up Mumkin got profiled in India's premium business newspaper, the Mint Lounge.

[Mumkin](https://www.mumkinapp.com/) is expanding its modules on *sexual-well being* and we need your help!

Here is a [small survey](https://forms.gle/EpjYUYfXbV5AaRFi7)

Tell us what does sexual well-being means to you. This survey is completely anonymous and for non-commercial purposes. We are happy to share the broad indications from the survey with the HN community.

PS. I know surveys are boring and really appreciate your help.

Thanks,

I have the opposite problem where I get into a creative thinking mode and tune out the podcast Sometimes I'll stop a podcast during a walk and switch to music if I actually want to focus on it at a later time (many podcasts I listen to are kind of background noise for me though)
>Don’t people see a value in having a moral ground?

Did this person even read what they wrote? RMS advocates for child rape. He is a pedophile. I don't really care about his other comments but he unequivocally defends child rape. On that basis alone, he needs to be removed.
And then activists turn around and complain that the rich are always cloistering themselves in private spaces, there’s no shared public space anymore. What did they think would happen? Rich families would actually bring their 4-year-olds to play among the tents and the smoke?

Either we get a set of norms that allow people from different walks of life to coexist in the same spaces, or we wind up segregated.
I don't know anyone who goes to the substack.com homepage to surf for new content. I subscribe to authors I already follow via Twitter, or through other writers the people I sub to recommend.

So I'm not sure how substack being full of low-quality SEO content hurts me.
i just made r/aimeechannelor - come and hopefully we'll get a little bit of time for discussion pre-ban due to the spelling!
> But ultimately if an NFT can only be used in one game why not just store it as a database entry on the game server?

That's the nice thing. Once you've created something with the ERC721 interface, it can be used in multiple places. Let's say you attach a hash pointing to a .glTF 3D object as well, and now multiple games can share the same items between them.

Imagine buying a in-game hat in Counter-Strike and later bringing it to Fortnite. Silly? yes, but also useful in that world of sillyness and fun? Yes.
I suspect because none of that has much to do with how Intel operates. They do not even make the machines they use in these processes. So it would be one hell of a pivot.

Companies like Nikon and ASML, who make lithography machines and so on, are not really interesting in the garage fab space but that has nothing to do with Intel.
I made a subreddit

r/aimeechannelor - hopefully the name lets us get a bit of chatting in before the ban hammer drops :)
AstraZeneca has staked their reputation as an extremely large firm that makes all sorts of pharmaceuticals on the safety and efficacy of this vaccine, the idea that they have no incentive to ensure the quality of the product is absolutely bonkers.

Hilariously Lada cars - the Soviet era cars being referenced I expect - were exported for the express purpose of making a profit!
Is that the whole argument--that it isn't nice to call people names?

How about addressing the substance of the complaint?
Smart move on Intel's part, there has been a big push for US manufacturing capacity and this will feed that. It is interesting to me that it took a crisis to force Intel to start offering IDM services. Something that I think they should have done years ago to absorb extra capacity.
You could be using mDNS (bonjour), in which case local addresses look like 'whatever.local'. This is actually pretty common?

Honestly if they just made it so self-signed worked for .local that would probably help a lot.
Data point: I've never browsed Substack for content. I have no idea what may or may not be on the platform, and I don't really care. The quality of the median post - or author - could decline any amount, and I wouldn't even realise.

I've subscribed to multiple Substack newsletters because content creators I already liked moved or launched new projects on Substack.

Obviously everyone is different, but my impression is that Medium was trying to sell the "Medium brand", and struggled because a lot of people didn't find the "Medium brand" worth $5/month. Conversely, Substack is a platform for people to sell their own brands, and a lot of people find those brands to be worth $5 (or $8, or even $10 in some cases) per month.

Will people now subscribed to slowboring.com suddenly stop in significant numbers because there's another blog/newsletter built on the same platform somewhere which is really low quality? How would they learn this, and having done so, why would they care? In another comment, you say:

> [LCD blogspam] will devalue anything published solely on Substack

I don't value anything now because it's published on Substack. How can you devalue zero? :)

I don't know.

What I do know is that many countries have massive media coverage of mass shootings.

But I'm not sure if there is any country besides the US which has such massive problems with mass shootings.

So even if it might amplify thinks it seems unlikely to be the root cause.
Very little, although I do agree with the sentiment.
all rational persons should agree that cancel culture is cancer..

Like any rule, this too can have an exception.

However, this exception needs to be specified objectively ahead of the incident.
And it should be uniformly applied.

When folks see that this is not done, it gives rise to speculation and lack of trust.
Yeah, I don't know, they talk about cities having to change their zoning to accommodate different types of housing because people demand it in those places but then turn around and complain about suburbs.

So cities are responding to a demand and for some reason suburbs should also respond in kind because...
At this point, I wonder whether it's possible to architect an efficient GC that predictably runs only when alloc() is called and thus helps to avoid pauses in main loop. Of course it works best with a language having value types.
As the authors are typically listed alphabetically that would unwittingly have an inhumane result.

On the other hand, the media compulsively portrays the sensationalist as commonplace and the commonplace as rare. They are presenting an increasingly skewed version of reality.
I think games are just a bad example. Many games have both simple ownership semantics (making manual memory management easier) and simple object lifetimes.

In a game an object is likely to live for exactly one frame, exactly n frames where n is like 2 or 3 for some kind of deferred rendering, or an entire level. Some games mightn’t have levels as such but objects still tend to be grouped together in when they load/unload.

I think it is important to note this because games that need to care about performance are not using malloc. They will use some kind of arena allocation because allocating and freeing memory with malloc can be expensive. So what games want here is control over how allocation happens rather than when free is called—that is, it wouldn’t be sufficient to have a language where you called free but couldn’t use a custom allocator.

But there are standard ways to deal with these sorts of allocation patterns in a language like Java. For buffers (of eg vertices) these may just be reused. For smaller objects, pool allocation may be used which sucks but doesn’t suck much more than manual memory management.

I think it is silly to focus on games (or, for that matter, short-running command-line tools that needn’t call free at all) because the allocation pattern is so unusual and weird. I can’t think of great examples of systems that care about latency and don’t have game-like allocation patterns but maybe a complex gui application like a web browser or PowerPoint would be a good example.
Funny, but systems hardly collapse if you just remove one person.
A few, actually. I don't remember crate names, but aside from the colors in the prebuilt documentation being a bit dated, you can't tell.
And yet they have specific policies[1][2][3], industry-wide and largely self adopted, for suicide coverage.

How is this any different? Many of these individuals straight send out manifestos. And the media contorts statistics, which happen to not only include suicides but suicides are the majority of the statistics, to support a specific narrative violence is more prevalent and commonplace than it is..

From their statement: “It is time for RMS to step back from the free software, tech ethics, digital rights, and tech communities” - in other words they want RMS to step away from everything he’s worked on over the past 40+ years over pronouns and different thoughts on what constitutes consensual sex. They demand for him to simply walk away from his life’s work because they don’t like his opinions. Incredible. This is the manifestation of cancel culture. It’s repugnant.
There’s no need to wheel. Do you own stocks? Yes? Do you own them in blocks of 100 shares? Yea!? Then you could be making extra income just buy selling covered calls on them while you hold them long term.
Because they didn’t actually make it impact ranking. At least not in a meaningful way. This looks to be changing this year with Core Web Vitals, but it’s still to be seen if these scores will really have an effect on ranking.
Interesting I just find it ironic that israel have the law of return that allowed my friend Dan who has basically 0 material tie to that many to emigrate to israel but banished my friend Ahmed who still have the photos and records of their house and farm land.

I was looking into this last year when Wikipedia cut off access for older cipher suites. mitmproxy worked, but is the wrong tool for the job (too slow for everyday use). I needed something leaner that I could chain into other proxies, but got distracted before I could find a solution.
You're essentially selling a job right now, unless you're completely removed from operations and new business development, but it sounds like you aren't. It would also depend on how well you retain your clients and how profitably your new customer acquisition will run without you (the degree to which your personal network pulls business.)

Would expect you to be able to sell for high five or low six figures, assuming you're currently fairly involved and there's no contracts, moat around clients, or special sauce in customer acquisition.

Why not hire a good manager instead? It sounds like you could pay them well, still pay yourself, and make your business more valuable if they can grow it without you in the critical path. They could also potentially contribute to the product.

Part of that magic is the trust in the network computer. This could work very well for a corporate setting with thin clients working with a distributed cluster of network services where everything is owned by the corporation.

I'm not so sure that this model of trust works with the way computers have evolved since then.

Comparing the issues E.G. X11 has vs modern workarounds for direct user IO for games I also wonder how the security model and composition of file layers could negatively impact the experience.

Taking the ideas of Plan 9 as inspiration, the more realtime elements could be filtered in kernel and message passed to other processes via a single centralized security model. That might also include exposing shared memory via a memory mapped file, or possibly via a higher level message passing abstraction.
It’s incredible to me that people can applaud for the illegal activities of hacktivists like donk enby or the ddos secrets people (https://ddosecrets.com/wiki/DDoSecrets:About) but aggressively accuse their political opponents of “doxxing” for recording crimes by rioters or antifa in public spaces.

If it isn’t apparently already, hacktivists are by and large just a criminal arm of the progressive political machine. You aren’t going to find these groups exposing the activities and private communications of left leaning groups. Using criminality for political goals is terrorism, and this group should be labeled as such. Twitter and other platforms seem to be giving them safe harbor, however, even though they’re willing to censor others so readily.

Sorta makes me wonder why another ship, larger than a tugboat, couldn't hitch it with a tow rope (whatever the marine term) and give it a jerk. I get that ships aren't normally expected to do that, but you know, probably need larger tugboats for gigantic ships.
This is the standard way traditional incremental GC works. Typically allocation is done with a protocol like

1. Try to bump a pointer to allocate the memory

2. If there wasn’t enough memory, call a special function (which runs the GC) and try again

This special function may do a big gc pause if necessary or it may just do a small amount of gc work and grant the program some more memory (this way most gc work is shared more evenly with program time). In modern VMs like Java’s, concurrent gc (where gc and mutator run in separate threads possibly needing a pause for some steps) is more popular.

I think the issue is less ultra-pragmatism and more a desire to (quantitively) measure everything to the nth degree. It starts with five year plans at the top and filters down to almost every level of society. Once everything is understood as a list of items with numbers attached, certain behaviours become incentivised. Society optimises for the map not the territory.

The problem is that each algorithm likely has a constant factor much larger than the previous. This does not matter for the runtime complexity of any individual algorithm but when you string them together the time complexity explodes.
Strassen has shown that the bound is higher than n^2 using a tensor rank bound. [1] The exact exponent bound is usually called omega in the literature, and there are good estimates for the value of omega. It is also related to other quantities like Grothendieck constant [2].
