Well, the precise type of "sunlight" needed is that prostitutes and clients don't need to hide their business from the police, and can conduct their business in a publicly visible building, which the police can inspect at any time (to follow up on reports, or just go check that all the girls have valid-looking IDs, which can be followed up on if their suspicions are raised).

Whether you hide your patronage from people who know you is a different matter. (The medical system is a good example in this respect: hospitals and other facilities are absolutely not hiding their presence from anyone—quite the opposite, really—but the fact that you visited Doctor Jones to treat your potentially embarrassing medical condition is considered very confidential information.)
Bad idea. Flight paths will be used to create private databases of high resolution information (TSCM+ a decade ago fits on these) about any target worth it. The desensitization psychology is equally bad if not worse. This "oh they have some ADSB-like-thing" is worthless. Good luck tracking a violator, like any object, these are only getting easier to create. It will become trivial to send these on a mission without comms.

The big quazi-nation-state TLA front operators will do everything possible to prevent a permanent public log of each flight's path.

Executing a hit will become vastly easier and cheaper.

Think of them as flying supercomputers with cameras (soon to be NIR) exceeding the spacial resolution of any animal.

Society is still responsible for your medical bills. And there's zero chance that someone who has wrecked their body/mind through hard drug use will be able to survive on their own without affecting the lives of others in any way. It doesn't take long for this individual freedom to turn into a widespread public health problem – see the streets of San Francisco for example.

There's definitely some voting manipulation going on on HN last few years. At the same time number of irrelvant or barely relevant negative comments with no insight sky-rocketed. This trend coincided with the appointment of new mod dang. I guess the current mod is trying to make HN more popular and using the age-old outrage playbook to get to that end.

Longer term storage: peat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peat

" Peat forms when plant material does not fully decay in acidic and anaerobic conditions. It is composed mainly of wetland vegetation: principally bog plants including mosses, sedges, and shrubs.... "

"Across the world, peat covers just 3% of the land’s surface, but stores one-third of the Earth’s soil carbon...."

"In natural peatlands, the 'annual rate of biomass production is greater than the rate of decomposition', but it takes 'thousands of years for peatlands to develop the deposits of 1.5 to 2.3 m [4.9 to 7.5 ft], which is the average depth of the boreal [northern] peatlands', which store around 415 gigatonnes ... of carbon...."

Now and then a well-preserved body thousands of years old has been found in a bog.
That's fraught will all sorts of biases. What if your shopping habits changed? eg. you started becoming more health-conscious and started buying healthier (and more expensive) foods. The BLS accounts for all of that by measuring the price of a fixed basket of goods, which mitigates those effects. The same can't be said of your budgeting spreadsheet. Or maybe your area is undergoing gentrification and the discount supermarket got replaced with a whole foods. Your grocery spending might have went up 50%, but that doesn't mean it's a meaningful representation of what's happening across the country.
Turns out the organizations who tout prostitution as a problem because it's supposed sex trafficking are usually religiously motivated and just don't like prostitution that's why they don't call for changes to make prostitutes safer

I read everything I could find, in short, researchers did not give any options for maintainers not to participate in research.

The best analogy I could come with so far is; someone offered you compelling job offer, and when you where ready to sign up they would be yeah, that was research project, sorry - would you be ok with such behavior ?

This not ok, because you did not consent to waste your time on someone else's research project.

“Reliable”. In addition to major outages that normal dcs have they also have dozens of small ones that never make it to the status pages. Even for simple stuff, more so for managed stuff.

>Selling drugs / buying sex are transactions at the expense of someone else’s body.

So how does porn fit into this picture ? Porn actors are selling their bodies, what's the difference between a person having sex in private for money, and someone doing the same while filmed ?
That should be a decision for the customer to make and not one that is forced on them. Many larger companies tend to have legacy systems that are basically black boxes to them. The cost of updating one can be orders of magnitude more than any cloud costs for running it.
Patents and Copyrights Should Be Repealed
I’m not familiar with any GCP service being discontinued. Do you have any examples?
1) Yes, but less.

2) It's much easier to protect the victims when they are strictly victims, and not participants in an illegal act. In the US, crackdowns on human trafficking overwhelmingly result in the women being arrested.

It's absolutely going to be the case that, at least sometimes, even with legal prostitution, someone is going to find a migrant who doesn't speak the local language well, steal their passport, and force them to engage in work, including sex work. (I mean, that already happens with crew on fishing vessels, kitchen staff in resteraunts, farm labourers...no reason sex work would be different right?)

What you want is for that story to end "...so then the victim went to the local police, who arrested the perpetrator, prosecuted them, gave the victim their passport back, and offered them a suite of support services".

What you don't want is "...but the victim was afraid they'd be arrested, so they didn't go to the cops" or "...but when the victim went to the cops, they were arrested and prosecuted; meanwhile the perpetrator was let go, because prosecuting trafficking is hard but prosecuting prostitution is easy, and the prosecutor wants to keep their stats up because they're running for the Senate next cycle".
Not GP, but in my experience, AWS bills run away from you if you're not careful. They don't have great tooling (or, at least, accessible or intuitive tooling) to determine what your bill is going to be, or to set limits.

Pair that with a misconfiguration because of their horrendous web interface, and you're in for a surprisingly large bill at the end of the month.

Google, on the other hand, has some of the best tooling in the industry when it comes to billing and cost management. I dislike Google as much as the next guy but I'd feel more comfortable with them over AWS if I ever needed to choose.

And by the way, I used x86 as an example here, but don’t believe for a second the same thing doesn’t apply to, say, the ARM chip in your phone. Modern ARM chips support multiple encodings and also rank over 1000 instructions if you count them at the same level of granularity as XEDs “iforms”.

Indeed, those who think x86 is complex should also take a detailed look at the ARM64 instruction set, particularly its instruction encoding. If you thought making sense of x86 instruction encoding was hard, and that a RISC might seem simpler, AArch64 will puzzle you even more.

To use the MOV example, the closest ARM equivalent might be the 40 variants of LD, which the reference manual (5000+ pages) enumerates as: LDAR, LDARB, LDARH, LDAXP, LDAXR, LDAXRB, LDAXRH, LDNP, LDP, LDPSW, LDR (immediate), LDR (literal), LDR (register), LDRB (immediate), LDRB (register), LDRH (immediate), LDRH (register), LDRSB (immediate), LDRSB (register), LDRSH (immediate), LDRSH (register), LDRSW (immediate), LDRSW (literal), LDRSW (register), LDTR, LDTRB, LDTRH, LDTRSB, LDTRSH, LDTRSW, LDUR, LDURB, LDURH, LDURSB, LDURSH, LDURSW, LDXP, LDXR, LDXRB, LDXRH. Some, like LDP, are then further split into different encodings depending on the addressing mode.

My suspicion is that to achieve acceptable code density with a fixed-length instruction encoding, they just made the individual instructions more complex. For example, the add instruction can also do a shift on one of its operands, which would require a second instruction on x86.

I think psychological safety is a real thing, but it's limited. You can't really have it deeply with a team larger than 8, and you can't have much of any on a team of over 50.

For alcohol? I dare you to say that to the face of someone with alcohol addiction in family. It's a simplistic black and white view. We negotiated thresholds where alcohol is restricted (age, distribution, setting) while not banning it completely. Neither unrestricted access nor prohibition were the answer.

Again, we're entering the territory of fraud and cybercrime, whether its white collar crime or not. Nothing wrong with early detection and prevention against that. But as it pertains to malicious actors inside the country, the high risk of getting caught, prosecuted, and earning semi-permanent permanent blackball on your record that would come up in any subsequent reference check (and likely blackball you from further employment) is a deterrent. Which is exactly what these researchers are finding out the hard way.

On the first, I've worked as a PM on Firebase, App Engine, and Endpoints.

Nobody has been forced to migrate from the Firebase RTDB to Firestore (and AFAICT the Firestore API hasn't deprecated anything?), App Engine deprecations (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/deprecations) are basically "you can't do new things using these old things, but the old ones will continue to run" (though other deprecations I've done have provided clear explanations of why we're deprecating and how someone can work around it), and Endpoints is still around despite being comically out of date (it's even getting a managed version!).
I understand where you are coming from, and I agree that it's good that we are paying more attention to memory safety, but how would a memory safe language protect you from an intentionally malicious code commit? In order to enact their agenda they would need to have found a vulnerability in your logic (which isn't hard to do, usually). Memory safety does not prevent logic errors.

I have a friend who works for ICE. She has literally deported assassins for the Mexican cartels. She said the hardest part of her job is that cities like San Francisco give millions of dollars to activist lawyers to help keep these criminals in the US. The activist lawyers and even SF know that these are real criminals but they don’t care. That money could be going to help the cases of real illegal immigrants who are making life better in the US but it’s instead going to defend these criminals. She says it’s really disheartening that they don’t care, they are blinded by trying to beat ICE.
>If you pay for services from Google, then it's a completely different story. We've used Appengine for 12 years now, and every time they've decided to deprecate services, there's always plenty of notice, a superior replacement, and usually lower costs.

Really? I've had the complete opposite experience on AppEngine as a paying customer.

I was using Python2 AppEngine with ndb and the Users API. Cloud Datastore + ndb automagically cached your data and worked pretty nicely. When they moved to Firestore, they dropped that feature and recommended you buy your own Redis DB and manage caching yourself. They got rid of the Users API entirely and forced apps onto OAuth, which is much more complicated to integrate.

They old AppEngine emulator worked really nicely as well, in that you could emulate a pretty full AppEngine environment locally. When they moved from Python 2 to 3, they dropped most of the emulator's features. True, AppEngine apps require less AppEngine-specific code, so there's less need for an emulator, but it's still useful for testing certain scenarios. I checked recently and it seemed like they had improved their emulator, but I believe there was about a year where there was no Admin UI for their emulators like there had been for AppEngine Python2.

It's all caused me to move away from AppEngine and rely more on vendor-agnostic stacks.

My take on that is that it's up to the kernel maintainers to unban them. If they end up the investigation with: "Yeah, that was bad but we won't do anything about it", it's unlikely to get the banning side to move an inch.
Dolores French, author of Working: My life as a prostitute, was a political activist (or worker of some sort) before she voluntarily became a sex worker in her late twenties. She continued to be a political activist but her cause was now sex workers rights.
