Enforcement divisions have sole heads who can make unilateral decisions that the commissioners never review.

I'd just point out that at the end of the day, broad power of social institutions are going to trump the overt lines of command.

Capture in this context (and all contexts of regulatory capture) just mean that someone joins for a certain purpose, does all of the other tasks correctly and with high competence, but also makes sure their single issue is protected.

Well, Regulatory capture can have a lot of meanings I suppose. One really pernicious phenomena is when things that don't have institutional power on their own ("the environment", "average people's health", overall cyber-security of the country, etc) get shunted aside for particular institutional interests (chemical companies, IoT sellers/consumers etc). This is the umbrella where "regulatory capture" lets these externalities run wild. Now, if you want to use "regulatory capture" as more akin the general phenomena known as "getting a seat at the table", know yourself out. The point is that seats of that allow some special consideration, yes, but you can't carve up existing institutions the EPA can carve up restrictions on pesticides. I wish it was the opposite, obviously but there you are.
> Would you test Frank Gehry on the basics of architecture? Or have Frida Kahlo count her brushstrokes or plan her day hour by hour?

Not sure if it's relevant? Google has hired Guido van Rossum and James Gosling. I'd imagine Google didn't ask them to "reverse a binary tree", whatever that means.

I.e., if you are Frank Gehry or Frida Kahlo, you don't need to go through hoops. (If you're reading this, you are probably not Frida Kahlo.)
I disagree. I didn't know about Wix until just now. After having read this I'm extremely positive towards their CEO, their service and, simply put, I like their style. While Wordpress is acting like a child, Vix comes off as the adult in the room.
I honestly hate that story with a passion. Not because it's bad, it's actually very compelling. But it presents two very dystopian futures which I perceive to be antithetical to human and individual dignity, one which is as miserable as it is likely, and one that I find far more disturbing and undesirable which it presents as a Utopia, which I hope never has a chance to come to pass.

They didn't even know they were building the bomb. They just had to enter the room, dial knobs back-and-forth for 8-hours/day, and then go home.

Today, that sort of stuff SHOULD be automated. It made sense back then because there weren't computers, but... you really can't just get people to balance knobs 8-hours / day anymore.

It's getting harder and harder for the tech elite (including HN) to denigrate crypto as something that is worthless.

There's a lot of comments everywhere expressing hate for 1Password's change to a subscription model. Way more than seem justified.

I'm not overjoyed at "having to" pay a subscription for a password manager, but your points are good ones.

Paying you annually saves me and my family (four people) a lot of time and energy in managing passwords, sharing passwords, etc.

Just wanted to throw out one "+1" for the 1Password subscription offering being a worthwhile expense from my perspective.

I do wish you'd figure out the Chrome extensions on macOS, though. I don't understand why I have to choose between excellent browser integration OR more seamless integration with the native app and fingerprint support in the browser extension.

This is not an argument. I do support XMPP developers who do great work with a budget that is less than 0.1% of signal’s , without vendor lock-in, and without partnering with dubious cryptocoin schemes. Granted, they do not have the "hacker extraordinaire" moxie vibe, but they get work done.
Are you sure that the "life changing amounts of money" are going solely into the pockets of these podcasters and not into expenses like recording equipment, editors, researchers, and so on?

I accept that people might find it ironic if someone who complains about wealth inequality is also extremely wealthy, but on the other hand, someone who has managed to become extremely wealthy is arguably the best qualified to judge the unfairness or dangers of such a system.

Perhaps a better example of irony in this situation, though, is the fact that capitalism seems to be rewarding people for criticising (and potentially seeking to end) it, which is an odd property for a system to have.
Why California's housing costs are so high
Micheal Hayden during a Blackhat keynote likened 'cyber' to a new domain (like air, land, sea), that's universally like early WWI with open fields of men with no defenses being mowed down by attackers' machine guns.

As an aside, it probably would have been smarter to make Cyber Command it's own branch rather than the Space Force. Space operations are basically figured out with the Air Force taking most of the lead. Cyber Command is apparently a cluster fuck of separate command structures all vying for power. Spending the time making a Space Force always seemed like a 20th century move in a 21st century env.
Got all the family to remove the app last week. On the bright side they punched early enough for us to get out before we got too used to the platform.
I think I'd better describe it as, "It used to be a one-time charge for a license, but now you need to have a subscription."

You can still get stand-alone licenses, but they do suppress that. Part of that I believe is not running afoul of App Store rules, and also because most people are finding it via the iOS and Mac app stores.

I'm still using standalone licenses quite happily, and have no issue with buying new licenses when major versions get bumped.
> So what lesson can we learn? that some sexual encounters in Japan that should be considered rape, aren't.

That could be true.

But 30 times less is hard to explain with that.

Remember that he majority of rapes are perpetrated against adult women and Japan is the country with the oldest population in the World, right before Italy.

I guess that living in a society where crime rates are generally low (Japan has one of the lowest rate in the World) helps a lot.

In Japan half of the people are not having sex, that makes it one of the countries with the lowest rate, hardly a country of rapers.

So what lesson can we learn?

That violence is key to injustice

The whole discussion about diversity and inclusivity in the States revolves around self segregation and punishment for those who do not abide, it is based on fear of the consequences not on a general understanding that conflict is an integral part of the society and inclusivity means to accept it, not to remove it.

Stallman is a non violent man, he doesn't adhere to the American standards, he's a weirdo, but never harmed anybody nor committed violent acts, let alone crimes.

I write an email to his address from time to time, have been doing it for the past 10 years, and I always receive the most polite replies (days later of course, he reads them offline).

Sometimes it's like talking to Sherlock Holmes, he's very logical, has strong opinions, lingers on the most miniscule detail and that can be unpleasant to some.

He can be confrontational, but not dangerous.

I would rather share the proverbial desert island with him than with those who attack him for not being "standard compliant"

I know I shouldn't have to feel frightened by him.

Maybe we could learn a thing or two from him, once we go past the preposterous social indignation à la carte because he likes to walk barefoot.

p.s. In Sweden age of consent is 15 years and sexual assault (so not rape specifically) reports are very high, but under the Swedish laws half of the planet would be in prison (in Sweden not using a condom is considered rape).

Eurostat figures show that Sweden had 64 reported rapes per 100,000 residents in 2016, compared to 10 in Germany. When Sweden's figures were recalculated using the German definitions, the new figure was 15 reported rapes per 100,000 residents.

p.p.s. if in Japan they are "hiding" the real rape numbers, what makes you think the same thing is not happening elsewhere?

USA laws about rape are not stronger than those in Germany, that has a third of the rapes of US and where age of consent is 14.

What's the difference then?

In Germany violent crimes in general are a lot less than in USA.

I actually never liked PB&J (peanut butter and jelly) sandwiches, only PB sandwiches. My grandmother would buy the pure kind that had to have the peanut oil stirred back in.

https://www.laurascudderspeanutbutter.com (that domain name is not long enough)

Many healthy and luxury grocery stores have coffee-type grinders for making your own fresh peanut butter directly from bulk peanuts.

I don't eat PB these days because it's a million calories, only a few unsalted roasted peanuts for a snack rarely. Some deserts have peanuts in them but not usually very much.
I think it would be easier to own the stack. Don't use third party network equipment. Formally verify every layer of the stack. In the end this is probably cheaper then going back to computerless.
Which is why you need to see "where's the money coming from" because a non-profit that can't survive will go looking for it. Let's Encrypt is small enough that it can entirely exist under the donations of some of the large internet companies - Signal doesn't have that and so the temptation to look for money will be there.
There is a fundamental difference between natively offering data export vs referring your users to third party scrapers with no direct support.

Honestly, at that point I stopped reading. I am not a fan of the WordPress dev scene, I spent about a year heavily involed within that scene and I noticed time and time again bugs getting patches and those patches not getting applied and then new patches getting created and not getting applied. Then I seen the whole "I've been here for X so I am more important" or "We don't like you so you're never getting commit rights even tho you do really valuable work on WordPress".

But one thing they do do is admit there is an issue and fix them. WordPress' core security seems to be really good, I can't remember the last time they had a flaw. 3rd party plugins can't be helped, really. There are quite a few plugins specifically to help secure Wordpress sites. So it seems WordPress as a project have dealt with their security issues and the community help deal with the stuff that is outside the scope of the WordPress project.

Then you have the memory issues and what not. WordPress scales really well the last time I checked. So I am not really sure what they expect WordPress to do.

all the possible scenarios that may happen are playing out equally and in parallel. I think it is part of everyone living different realities and we no longer share (e.g. we are all lonely and isolated). those who haven't been radicalized until now will be so in the future[0]. I think the outcome depends on how _much_ and hard we're squeezed. But everyone eventually falls over the edge. Our reaction to how we deal with it also depends on the individual (directing violence against ourselves e.g. depression or violence against others - e.g. mobbing).

The iOS app is stable and fine.

The MacOS native / extension interaction and choice is a mess.

From a UX perspective, the single most important thing the product can do is interact with the browser effectively. Embedded in this "feature" is that the product is stable, and responsive in behavior.

If you go to the chrome web store, 1password extension page and sort by recently updated, you'll see review after review of 1-3 star, carefully explained problems with this product.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/1password-%E2%80%9...

Regarding inconsistent messaging, their support is promising they're working on native app integration but there is no timeline for this.

That's why this news is kind of a bummer. The product that I'm subscribed to is competing with this new product for resources.
Rules are actually simple and not ad hoc. I in fact think Rust documentation should state rules and make them more prominent. In my experience, knowing the rules does not help you to keep them, but at least we will get less complaints of the sort "we don't know what the rules are".

To recap, here are the rules:

It is an error to access a place, when an access conflicts with a loan, and the loan is live. Access means source code construct to read or write, whether the construct is actually executed in runtime is irrelevant. Place is static approximation of a set of bytes in the memory. Place is either local (x), field (x.f), or upvar (local captured in closure). Indexing (x[i]) and method calls (x.m()) are approximated as local (x). Loan is either shared (&x) or mutable (&mut x). Read access conflicts with mutable loan, write access conflicts with all loans. Expression is live from the definition to the end of the containing statement. Declaration is live in connected region of control flow graph from the definition to potentially multiple last uses.
I used Dvorak for a couple years before switching back in the mid-2010s. Back then my QWERTY speed was about 120 wpm, and I never got close to that on Dvorak, but really the only time I can even think at 120 wpm is when arguing on the internet so maybe that's not altogether a bad thing. I was never as fast, but typing was a lot more comfortable in general. I ended up switching back due to work computer restrictions (grad student) at the time.

I just switched back to Dvorak, and while it's been a solid six years, it's coming back reasonably quickly :) I forgot how much I enjoyed this layout.
Is it giving more vertical space, or taking away horizontal space? A 16:9 screen would be fine if it had the same vertical resolution as the 3:2 screens. In that case you work off the center of the screen and put various gadget items to either side. Or for the larger screen laptops that include a number keypad, put your workspace on the left 80% and things like your Slack / chat and email notifications on the right side.

Actually come to think of it, a perfect window manager would be something that allows for overlapping windows in the central region, and lets you have adjustable left/right regions as tiling window areas. Combined with something that can tell an application which region it is in, so it can adjust the interface (optionally) to fit that region's purpose and limitations.

Thus giving full control of people to private entities that are increasingly not held accountable by anything or anyone.

Why would we want a private entity, not elected by the people, to decide our morality? Enforcing morality is dangerous and arguably immoral since it uses force to align people's thinking, which treats everyone like children that are learning instead of adults with freewill.
Here are some more relative risk assessments as well as stronger statistics when you're comparing to deaths by COVID-19:

A college-enrolled 18-24 year old is 3.67x more likely to die of suicide [1][2][3].

A college-enrolled 18-24 year old is 6.08x more likely to die of alcohol [3][4].

A child (0-14 years) is 6.75x more likely to die by motor vehicles [5].

A child (0-14 years) is 3.93x more likely to die of drowning in a pool [6].

All fatalities are compared to present CDC numbers [7].
