I can’t speak to the other services but this wasn’t true for the Department of the Navy from about 2005 on. There were geographic domains (@navy.mil, @usmc.mil, @fe.navy.mil, etc.) that required you to get new accounts, but other than that you were within NMCI.

Then NMCI got sold out via contracts that underbid and incrementally removed functionality. Now you can’t recover an account you previously had because they aren’t required to save the account data for more than 90 days (cost cutting) and they don’t recycle addresses due to spillage. Finding anyone without a number attached to their email address has become pretty rare due to that.

Now you have two primary systems in the Navy (OneNet for overseas and NMCI for otherwise) and the USMC has basically broken their network off from the Navy.

Further, each ship has to have its own email servers for fairly obvious reasons.

Kind of rambling, but I’ve worked with that system for a long time now. It’s been interesting going from the legacy military systems, to what was an excellent system, then watching it decay into what it is today.

1) go into knowing that the terminology is the hardest part to learn. The arithmetic is fairly easy, but the word salads can get daunting.

2) khan academy, coursera, MIT open courseware, whatever books your library has. Piece together multiple sources, b/c you don't have a professor to ask questions to, you'll need all the different sources and how each source explains the same idea differently for everything to 'click'.
I’m glad to read they are actually testing now.
Ah the 90s when computers were cool!
Speaking of The Grinch and religion, I often wonder about the basis of Whoville's celebration of Christmas. Did the Whos have their own version of Jesus - perhaps also known by His birth name of Jeswhoa? Was He the king of the Whos? Did He die for the forgiveness of the Whos' sins, after leading a ministry among the peoples of Whodea?
Does the fact that he tried to get them to stop harassing him and they refused make the case any less clear cut?
I meant in terms of number of deaths and significantly harmed people.

Exclusion zone is a human concept for human inhabitation, it does not mean the zone is lost from the map of Ukraine. According to scientists that study the zone, for the non-human ecosystem the benefits of people moving out outweigh the damage now. In time, the radiation will go down so people can live there. Some already do, even though it is illegal.

I heard a great interview with an anthropologist (no reference sorry), who said always be suspicious of objects in museums labeled ‘for ritual’, because that’s the anthropological fallback for ‘no obvious purpose’

Edit: spelling
> it cannot just apply at a massive nation

And yet the massive USA clearly showed through COVID control that it is simply a collective of hundreds of fiefdoms (states, cities and even corporations) they for the most part were uncoordinated and did what was best for themselves, which turned out to be no good for no one.
My Sony amp from '99 had one which they actually enhanced with some acrylic to make it appear even larger. Yes I bought it specifically because it had that blue LED.
It’s an interesting end-run around the fifth amendment. What if we passed a law that all criminals are required to keep a logbook of their crimes? Police can’t compel production of the logbook, but it can be used as evidence if found during a lawful search. Any crimes in the logbook will be prosecuted, as will the provable omission of any crimes.
I just glanced at their white paper and it refers to multiple registrars, so stuff might not be just at Mattereum.[1]

Besides that, I think an immutable public record of ownership is worthwhile. It's something you can use as evidence in court. If it were just their database and they changed it, what recourse would you have?

I have this situation right now with the bank in Singapore. The only way I can stop the email is to visit one of their branches. On the other side of the world.
You gotta more carefully define "vulnerable" and "computer virus" here, otherwise answers can only have equal hand-waving vagueness.

There's security related processor features that the CPUs at the time didn't have and the kind of complete sandboxing abstractions we take for granted came at a high cost (VT instruction sets were a decade off and minimum ram was 4MB, not GB, but MB ... for everything, the whole system, all of it).

As far as encryption goes, it was slow. Transparent disk encryption was totally possible but the performance hit was significant. People could be forgiven for deciding they really didn't care that much. Home users weren't keeping the kinds of secrets on their home computer that people do on their cell phones these days. The world was less digitally integrated.
So written by a rodent user.

What manner of masochism would inspire a man to waste his time “clicking” onto icons with a peripheral whose true function is video games? — it is as though one enter text by way of a video game controller manually selecting characters one by one from a grid.
Does anyone know what the marginal cost of nuclear power is?

For example, I'd assume that the cost of a 2 gigawatt plant is a lot less than double the cost of a 1 gigawatt plant, since most of the cost likely comes from construction, maintenance, regulatory hurdles, etc, rather than fuel. Do you get significant economies of scale from building bigger?
This seems more like an epic revenge from some unhappy marketing team to the company. I can’t understand otherwise the fun of it.
They used to, with the original Macintosh.
That can give you the syntax! But what I'm curious about is more the implications of actually having this as a part of the language. Does it open up interesting space in optimization or memory safety?
It's definitely what tipped me off. With an accurate cursor, I might have been confused into wondering how it was done.

With the Pointer Lock API, you can actually take the user's cursor https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Pointer_Loc... (but the browser will show a notice).
> I still have a moral obligation to show some concern for my fellow human, even if they live on the far side of the planet.

Your fellow human on the other side of the planet is reproducing at crazy speed. The population of Africa is projected to double in the next thirty years. And they are the ones supposed to feel the greatest impact from climate change. If you're worried about their future access to food, the most important thing you should focus on is convincing them to stabilise their population, not climate change.
Even if it looks 'ugly' by today's standard those were good days UI/UX wise and things kept on improving. UIs were consistent and easy to use by mouse or keyboard and in my opinion things started going downhill ever since. I think good UI/UX will of course be rediscovered and the old ideas will be recycled into something new at some point.
Not mentioned: the collateral damage. You'll probably trash your debugger's object visualizer in doing this. And probably other facilities in your IDE that helps you deal with class members, really.
It seems to me that the most straightforward remedy is that whenever a law references standards that aren't publicly available, then noncompliance with that standard cannot be punished. Or at least, the portion of the standard that matters must be communicated to either the noncomplying party or the public at large before anyone can be held responsible for noncompliance.
This brings back soooo many memories. Half good, half bad.
Never connect it to a network, and install all software from read only CD media, and you'll be just fine.
That is older data at that link
Love or hate the UI, my basic reaction is 'recognisable'. What's changed, really?

Superficial churn like flat, skeumorphic, minimalist, whatever, sure, but nothing like TUI to GUI, windows, or the mouse.
Heat management is indeed difficult in space. You're basically limited to emitting in infrared since things like fans or phase change cooling has no medium to dump the heat to.
The one thing I love about evil-mode over vim is the smart-case text replace (%s/foo/bar will change Foo to Bar and FOO to BAR and foo to bar).

FWIW, ":set cb=unnamed,autoselect" (or "unnamedplus,autoselect") will probably do what you want in vim.

Another thing I forgot; running evil-mode in "emacs -nw" disables all setting of the clipboard, even with `"+` while a terminal vim with X11 compiled in will let you still access the clipboard. Kind of a super-niche use, but shrug.

I just tried A in visual-line mode and it was confusing. I'd never tried it before though, so never ran into that.
I think you're thinking of the Federal government -- states are treated differently under the U.S. copyright system and often do hold copyright in their original works. (The Regents of the University of California will be a familiar copyright holder for many people here...)
I've never understood how people view paying high taxes as a point of pride. Pay your taxes so violent men with guns don't throw you in a cage, sure. But to view it as a badge of honor when that money is half getting totally wasted and half very efficiently being used to kill people abroad...no, I'm not gonna applaud someone for pushing for more taxes.
Boring but consistent design and near perfect implementation of controls.
I disagree, facebook is terrible at this stuff - someone used my email account to create a facebook account, no verification of the address was done, but I started receiving daily annoying emails from fb, fb is impossible to contact, there's no contact email on their web page, no phone numbers, nothing, I didn't have a fb account so I couldn't contact the person using my email address ... complete bunch of morons as far as running a web service
I agree with your math and your assessment of what's available at Github and the like. Perhaps part of the problem is that people (including many developers) treat git repositories as app stores.

It seems unfair to complain that you're getting rough products when you're snatching them off the factory floor -- or out of the design room.
From the article, it seems the information was flowing _from_ the reporter:

> The feds allege that Peltz used disposable “burner” phones and encrypted apps to communicate with a journalist, and that the reporter provided “material nonpublic information about forthcoming articles” which Peltz used to trade in the market “just prior to publication of an article about each company written by the reporter.”
I refreshed on linear algebra and multi variable calculus through Khan Academy before I took a theory-based machine learning class. For me, it was a really good experience and I can’t overstate my appreciation for Sal Khan’s teaching style.
Ink Traps and Pals (2021)
The "no true scotsman" argument is very valid in many political and economic topics, but it doesn't remotely apply to China or Russia, two countries that have long since abandoned even the semblance of socialism or communism in favor of systems that more closely approach economic fascism. One can criticise countries thatt have failed at communism validly by citing real examples such as Cuba, which genuinely spent decades trying to implement and maintain these ideologies with rigour that closely resembled hardline socialism in practice. Nothig about today's China or today's Russia invalidades that criticism or those that are similar.
Most viruses back then travelled through infected executables on diskettes and CDs.

Many Win 95 computers had only sporadic net access or none at all.
is there an online course for maths? like undergrad maths?
By that reasoning, one would conclude that people today don't have any spiritual needs. And yet the humans of today seem to disagree with that view in large numbers. The humans of 100 years ago disagreed in far greater numbers.

So... are they all mistaken about what they need? Or is there some line somewhere between humans of 100k years ago and those of today? Or is it after all reasonable that humans of 100k years ago might have had spiritual needs?
Yes, an even playing field for traders requires all participants to have the same access to information. Otherwise the game is rigged against traders that can't get access to inside information
So I type with my left pointer finger and right thumb.

My left hand has the middle finger on the side edge, thumb on the bottom edge. The rest of the fingers hang.

My right hand supports the back of the phone with 3 fingers, pointer on the side edge and the thumb types.

Hope they helps describe it. My family and friends make fun of how fast and loud I type and my weird grip, but I do take pride in my speed :)
Yeah it's a very transparent way to have an excuse to throw someone in jail. In a past life I had some illegal income that I briefly considered reporting. Paying taxes on money is way cheaper than laundering it anyway (which I was never big enough to need to do to be clear).

The IRS promises to keep any admissions of illegal income from other government agencies, but in practice that's total bullshit and so anyone with a serious criminal empire would be a total idiot to actually report those taxes. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Those are small conflicts and skirmishes.

Take India-China. Those borderguards were literally fighting eachother with rocks and sticks because they don't issue guns to them PRECISELY to avoid war.
There's plenty of "Islamic banking" but I think there's lots of limitations (I think it often involved shared ownership, risk and profit sharing, etc).
Windows 95 never ran on anything less than an 80386, which could and did run reasonably secure OSes. That CPU didn't have support for hardware virtualization, but "sandboxing" is vague enough that you can reasonably say that 32-bit protected mode enforced secure sandboxing at the hardware level on those chips.
Ah excellent, I agree most type sites are terrible for mobile. This is much appreciated
The best thing about win95 was the built in drivers for common network cards, as well as TCP/IP support without jumping through a lot of hoops.
One of the most frustrating things for me about Windows 8/8.1/10 was the classic theme (Win95/NT style) was no longer a UI theme option without downloading something third party. It really is the thing that killed my interest in Windows after Windows 7.

Good things don't need to change. I'm thankful my remaining reason for having a Windows OS available is becoming irrelevant due to progress in running games on Linux.
Windows 2000 is, I think, windows 95 refined, and really the peak (although some may prefer XP in classic mode).

If you tried hard, you could see bits and pieces of 3.1 interface in 95, but it was because you were running a fpga tool with an ancient file dialog, or you went out of your way to run progman, or an old installer launched progman for some reason (I think that sometimes happened, but could be misremembering 25 years ago). As opposed to newer windows where they change things, but not everything.

I think 95 was the last time Microsoft did user research to figure out how to make UI that is appealing and useful. At least, it was the last time they published anything about it. Newer stuff may be more appealing, but seems to make things require more clicks or wait to load more often, meaning it takes users longer to do tasks, and is less useful.
Come to the Free side! We have Free card games!

OpenBSD has canfield (solitaire), cribbage, [go]fish, mille [bornes], and even monop[oly] and bcd (format input as punch cards) out of the box (and way more! this is just a fraction of intro(6): http://man.openbsd.org/man6/intro.6). Unfortunately I’m not aware of any GNU distros that do, but you can get them with a simple `sudo apt install bsdgames` on Debian (also emacs has tons of games of course https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryGames).
It's a really interesting and challenging question. I've written a boostraping compiler, and I enjoyed the developement. It's a strange and sleepless process.

Well, back to the topic, maybe we can challenge it for LambdaChip someday in the future. ;-)
Extremely vulnerable. The whole time you're running the machine as root, there's simply no other option. Drivers could be in 16 or 32 bits causing instabilities and kernel-level vulnerabilities. Memory protection was easy to circumvent and no special rights are needed to listen to keyboard, record audio, video or take screenshots.

Auto-run was enabled by default. It was very easy to make bomb-cd's that installed anything just by inserting it on the drive. No centrally verified software repository and hard to acquire dev-tools forced the users to basically run whatever software was needed without compiling it themselves or by passing binaries from person to person. This alone made viruses spread vastly.

And it created bad habits that survived to this day like hiding extension of files and installation processes that encourage the user to not pay attention on what is happening and simply accept what is asked.

Yes, it's a neglected topic, but it's the topic that LambdaChip wants to try.
Worked in an ISP whose bulk ordered install media for dialup config was preinfected either at the diskette factory or the bulk copyist. We'd shipped to customers before it was detected.

A lot of virus came from people in supply chain basically. Even extra goodies installed in the handy local pc shop, "he said it made my pc faster" still happens.

A lot of viruses were glued to the front of magazines
Sorry I wasn't clear. I first tried to use a more featured framework, Lucky or Amber but only Kemal compiled fast enough. I'm pretty sure they all would have executed the application fine.

I have nothing against Crystal. In fact I still think it's great, just not for the kinds of things (e.g. web dev) that I would do in languages like Ruby, Go, or Java. Similarly, Pony is a fantastic language (Rust done right IMO) but I don't have a use for what it/Rust delivers in my typical projects. In short, I think Crystal could benefit from better/clearer positioning, as the digressing discussions in these comments show.
This comment got me laughing really hard, but since this is HN I'm going to try to figure out the answer anyway:

I think this scenario is pretty simple and is essentially just that you deduct the amount of money stolen from you from that year's income, provided you discovered the money was stolen that year. Obviously if you haven't discovered it's stolen yet you won't be deducting anything.

It seems that the tax evasion part essentially becomes totally irrelevant since, as others have said, you don't report evaded taxes as income, you just don't tell the IRS you owe those taxes and don't pay them, so from the IRS' perspective it's no different than you getting that quantity of non-evasion money stolen from you
Oh, I didn't mean you get 11 pages for every single query. I do know about the omitted results (but thanks for pointing it out, as its not obvious to many!), I used 11 as a placeholder since the final page # varies by query. Like, I get ~50 pages for 'icecream' out of the supposed 8 million or so. Crazy!

AFAIK there is no way to view all of those millions of results that they claim to have.
I'm certainly not going to live through my life worrying about everything that could happen or go wrong. I've driven without a seatbelt a lot in my life (I once drove into a ditch at maybe 40-50 km/h without one, not even a scratch - lucky!).

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying I quite disagree with you that death is so much worse than anything else. Why is death so bad? It's the only certainty you actually have in life. There's an average age of death but you're quite unlikely to die at that specific one. It's gonna come either expectedly (like a cancer diagnosis giving you X months to live) or unexpectedly (an accident). Just accept it and stop trying to fight it by trying to minimize the risk since it'll happen anyways. Instead think about whether there are things you want to prepare for those left behind when you do go. And then stop worrying and enjoy the ride while it lasts. It's just a dice roll anyways, try to have fun! Don't hold back. Challenge yourself, face your fears, jump into the unknown. Don't try to follow the recipe for a perfect harm-free life to the book. That sounds like an insanely boring life to me but I suppose YMMV.
Yep. The 17th Amendment was probably a mistake for that very reason. I should probably research exactly why it was ratified by the states.
My vote goes to either 2000 or NT4. Believe it or not I used NT4 as late as 2011 to load programs on an even older CNC lathe.
What is the issue with circumstantial evidence? DNA evidence and fingerprint evidence is some of the most important evidence
> No amount of "smart" is worth even an extra 0.5% on the cap table.

I respectfully disagree. Your equity is worthless until it’s worth something. That 0.5% could be the difference between a unicorn and a bankruptcy. I would counter with: don’t over value your equity. Don’t make stupid decisions of course but don’t let 0.5% be the reason you fail.

Vaguely related, one of my biggest tax pet peeves (beyond people that don't understand marginal tax brackets at all) is the people who will cynically claim that a billionaire just donated to charity $X because they actually make more money from doing that because of the tax deduction. And it's like, no, they get to deduct it from their earned income, so they mathematically always end up with less money by donating it and deducting rather than just keeping it.
Recently I went through the attic and found an old laptop (120Mhz CPU, 32Mb RAM, low-RPM 810Mb HDD) with Win98 installed on in. To my amazement it could boot and start Excel and Word within 10sec. Compared to my workstation (20 cores + HT @ 2.5Ghz, 110Gb RAM, PCIe SSD) which takes upward of 40 sec to get to the desktop.

Really makes one question the current state of software. Sure, Win7 has some more features, but imagine someone in 98 saying: "we have a great idea for a new OS, it'll have more features than Win98 and it'll only take 4 times longer to boot if you are running it on a cluster of supercomputers, but those new features are gonna be worth it" =P

Sidenote on the hardware side: The laptop had a hinge for the keyboard so you could raise it to a 20 degree angle, the CD/Floppy drive had the same connector as the battery so you could swap the drive for another battery if going on a trip. There were two sliding switches for backlight and speaker-volume. Access to the internals via a simple latch. It may have been a brick but it had interesting ideas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_760
Lol.

If they actually wasted the money on space tech rather than committees telling us what a high school student could work out I'd care less.

High-voltage, direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission systems are a million times more plausible.
