It's great that Cadillac is finally talking about EVs, but I fear that this is too little, too late. Here are some points to consider:

1. The ship date is vague: they're saying "first half 2022"

2. They haven't said a word about production volumes, and there is little reason to expect that these numbers will be significant in the early 2020s. It's well-understood that expertise in producing ICE vehicles doesn't translate into EV expertise.

3. Although they claim a sub-$60k price tag, legacy auto's dealerships are notorious for slapping "market adjustment" charges onto "rare" vehicles. Recently dealers tried do this to the tune of $15k on Ford's Mustang Mach-E (https://www.motor1.com/news/493595/ford-mach-e-dealer-markup...)

4. GM doesn't have advanced autonomous driving capability. The tech they do have is based on LiDAR, which is widely understood to be a nonstarter against the vision-based approach.

5. GM has structural inefficiencies - including large pension liabilities and ICE-based infrastructure - which make it very doubtful that any of their electric vehicles will be profitable, even if they execute competently.

6. Legacy auto hasn't been investing in materials science, and still depends heavily on outsourced suppliers. This boosted their balance sheets for decades, but now that the underlying technology has changed, this failure to invest in the future threatens to bankrupt them in the face of their new and innovative competitors.

I wish GM and the rest of legacy auto the best, but I fear their best days are behind them.
It falls back to IR, but will use HDMI-CEC if available. Can be pretty fiddly to get it to work
What is their ethnicity? I just assumed they were all American citizens. My previous comment included how U.S. based attackers alleged they did something similar to openbsd's VPN libraries over a decade ago.

Suggesting a foreign government could be leaping to conclusions as well, given domestic activists with an agenda may do the same thing. A linux kernel backdoor is valuable to a lot of different interests. Hence why counter-intelligence should be involved.

However, I just looked at the names of the people involved and I don't know. Even if they were Taiwanese, that's an allied country, so I wouldn't expect it. Who were you thinking of?
> Your employer provides you with equipment and applications not for their benefit, not yours

Usually employment is offered with the idea that it is mutually beneficial. Yes - you get paid and they keep the profits, but that doesn’t imply that work isn’t itself expected to benefit the worker in other ways.
If it's true that you can grab a Cellebrite hardware piece without too much difficulty (Ebay, etc - and note I'm not speaking from expertise so someone please fact check me), I'd find it hard to believe Apple wouldn't have done this kind of inspection themselves and/or noticed those DLLs being shipped.

Curious if there'll be a response of sorts.

I started house shopping in 2019 in a high cost of living suburb.

Prices seemed high. The market seemed frothy. I was very cocky and told my agent I wasn't in hurry. Prices would surely normalize. We must be in a bubble! Everyone seemed so irrational.

COVID hit and I was beyond smug. See, Mr. Agent, I told you. World wide pandemic will burst the bubble and I'm going to get a house for nothing.

$450/foot houses are now $650/foot. We've been priced out of multiple neighborhoods.

If you don't have an offer on a house within 3 days of the first showing, don't even bother.

Add $100k to the listing price to even begin thinking if you can get the house.

And then pray you aren't up against 5 all cash buyers.

Meanwhile, I've had the down payment sitting in a savings account for three years and its buying power decreases every month. Should have YOLOed into BTC. Would have turned into one of those damn all cash buyers.

Fun times.

What makes you think it hasn’t hurt them?

Pretty much every post on HN is filled with comment like this. Clearly their reputation amongst developers has suffered.
There's a difference. If your FIDO2 key has biometrics (such as touch ID) then it's still a FIDO2 key. It means if it gets compromised (lost or stolen, for example) then you need both the device and the biometrics to gain access.

If your fingerprints are lifted/leaked from a glass, for example, then published, your attackers also still need physical access to the device you use biometric security against.

If that's public, such as your house front door, I agree, you've a problem. If that's your cellphone, then you have to ensure you don't leave your phone unsupervised.

The same is frankly true of other exploits that can be done in-person, such as USB attacks or PIN code screen bypass, and so on. Once you have physical access to a device, you can authenticate via many means, not just biometrics.

I'd point out that a password can also be compromised. https://xkcd.com/538/

New rule for news consumption: stories that present poll results for a period without a baseline for comparison are trying to mislead you. What portion of people between 18-24 contemplate suicide in a given year? Turn to substance use to cope with stress?

I know that I lived my life from 18-24 without any global pandemic lockdowns and both "contemplated" suicide at different points and used substances to cope with stress. I'd assume many others did as well.

Given that we know suicides didn't go up in 2020 the way the fearmongers said they would (they went down), what are you arguing for?
I'd love to see a similar bill to ban the US Government from banning encryption. Would that need to be an amendment?

As wild as the housing market currently feels, I tend to agree with the author that we are nowhere near 2007 levels of overextension. Here's a chart that complements the data presented by the author, showing that there is still relative demand for housing as a place to live at current prices, relative to the last few decades: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/RRVRUSQ156N

So there are two problems. One is addressed by the author: build more homes. There aren't enough. Can the federal government do this? Probably not; it's more of a local zoning thing.

But while the author touches on high construction costs, they miss an opportunity to identify the most dangerous root cause: inflation.

While CPI might say the US has only experienced 2.6% inflation since the pandemic began, that number is faulty beyond repair. Random length lumber futures are up 200% since the pandemic began. Copper and soybean futures are both up 60%. Industrial steel is up 133%. Industrial silicon is up 70%. Sunflower oil +114%. Wheat +20%. Platinum +29%. Gold +20%. Aluminum +32%. Energy futures +30%. Natural gas +42%. SPX is up 25%, despite almost certainly being less productive. You get the idea.

Historically, there is a modicum of hysteresis to prices at the early onset of hyperinflation, especially in a large economy like the US with multi-year contracts at pre-defined prices. But when the raw materials are are growing in price by 30%+/annum for all of your products, consumer prices are sure to follow.

This is a historic moment. While the government has had to choose between more severe short term recession and long term debt/wealth inequality many times before (and usually chosen the latter pair), the decision in 2021 feels different. Inflation is already here. The money printing has been unprecedented, and the only way to avoid real inflation will plunge millions into unemployment. Do we have the political will to forestall a major inflation catastrophe?
Now Is Not Everything
Sergey, the little static side generator
Intel x86 isn't self synchonizing. In theory you have to decode every byte of the instruction stream that came before to be sure where the boundaries of an instruction are. Normally it stabilizes after a while in real world instruction streams but you can craft malicious instruction streams which yield two different valid sets of instructions depending on whether you start reading them at an offset or not.

Contrast that to something like utf8 where that isn't possible.
The trick is of course the locating network, and UHF, but it's essentially the same hardware

I would say that "People who do X are 30% more likely to get X" is commonly understood to imply causation.
Certainly in NYC, I recall that at the worst of the first wave, excess deaths were very correlated with registered COVID deaths and they spiked simultaneously. There were fewer registered COVID deaths than excess deaths, but during the first spike testing wasn't always done, and people who died at home didn't always get a test postmortem.

When there's a COVID spike, most of the excess deaths are people dying of COVID (some might be people dying due to fear of COVID, or hospitals collapsing- arguably still "COVID fatalities" even if they don't test positive).
Quit whining and comment about the substance of the article instead
> That’s when Yu started having second thoughts. Even after spending $200,000 on rent, an architect, a lawyer, equipment and fees, he’d still need to pay at least $120,000 in construction on his space. And he knew he’d have to hold his grand opening in the middle of a pandemic when capacity is still limited.

The article tries hard to pin the failure of this project on SF’s tedious permitting process, but it sounds like the real reason was poor timing and an unrealistic budget.

What do you mean by "precise" interrupts here? Do some types of interrupts cause worse pipeline stalls than other types? Are the interrupt handlers in RISC faster because of more efficient decoding? Is that the issue?
In my own case it is getting caught up in a discussion and pressing further than my strategic self would. It is as simple as stating "this is going to break" when I would usually do a more muted and subtle "I am not sure that this will work."

I am not really one to challenge all that directly normally. But sometimes that slips.

To me it seems more like the equivalent of leaving booby trapped packages to be found by porch pirates. Or putting laxatives (or worse) in your sandwich to get back at the unknown coworker stealing your lunch. Both of which are considered illegal in the US.

I understand the judgement calls one has to make as a moderator and I see how they are discussing the same topic.

The url for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26887670 does not indicate that the University of Minnesota has been banned from contributing to the linux kernel. I judged that as a separate and unique part of the event.

Dunking on individual maintainers for academic bragging rights seems pretty unfair, too.
Is it due to space capacity or labor capacity?
I wonder if the US can manage to drop the load onto the weaker recovering economies. At the end of the day, are you trading your depreciating dollar for another currency? To me, it seems like the US can keep the music playing until the rest of the world gets out of their shutdowns.
Hey thanks for the insights. I figured effort was being spent elsewhere and/or was not visible in the public repo.
The russian withdraw from future US led programs is a huge loss for both sides.
Rugby Union is a shining example of sport done right. Everyone other sport would do well to take a long hard look at their processes.

As an advocate of houses as an investment, I've always been against A, except to the extent that the appreciation matches inflation, and even then it should only match inflation because you don't count the investment in keeping it "nice"

Houses are an investment in shelter over your head. They work out well long term if you live in them long term, but you should never look at what they are worth if you sell, except when calculating your net worth. Even then a renter should have a higher net worth because rent is increasing with inflation, while the house payments are not: the renter needs to have more to cover future rent.
Should it cost 200k in legal fees and 18 months of politics to open an ice cream shop? Is that the kind of world you want to live in?

Yes, I was thinking about an iframe, but I don't think the technological details matter, do they? As long as grafana is a core part of your product, then your whole product has to be AGPL, according to the license...
A slur it is, but I have yet to see a more profound understanding of state of the country.

A regime that masterfully plays hate, both from country's own century long social self-immolation, and its own spin.

The crux of the issue is very much that Kremlin plays, and direct this bottomless reservoir of insecurity, and anger, but even without it, the country's tragic fate through whole modern history will keep moving it astray.

I telling people again, and again that in 1999 it were people in their completely free will, and sane mind who decided to elect a KGB official as a president.

For there to not to be Putin II, Putin III, Putin IV, etc, this country's deep anguish must be extinguished. How one does it, I don't know. Maybe there will need to be a self-harm reduction course of nation state scale.
I guess one of the advantages here is that the original author, who wrote it 1999 onwards, did not have to wait 10+ years for Julia to be released in 2012. ;-) He just used a language, which was available then.

Thanks, that's the correct link. Looks like it's too late to edit the original now.

One interesting aspect is this is also a "regulation", so it takes effect "automatically" without implementing legislation in each member state (like GDPR did). I hope one day we see this law put to the test and applied, as it seems like it could materially change how platforms treat the businesses reliant on them.
why does it require sudo?
Entrenched market participants often participate in the regulation process, and use it to build a defensive 'moat' around their business.
I also read my mortgage paperwork (annoyed the title company, but they didn't make it an issue, my realtor was fine with it). Mine didn't have anything about advertising or data sharing though. Mine was through a credit union, and the fine print was all reasonable.
Not anymore. And Apple has been removing many PWA and "app generator" style apps from App Store.
Lyrasis Is Hiring
As someone who used to maintain a large C++ codebase, people usually bug-dump static analysis results rather than actually submitting fixes, but blindly "fixing" code that a static analysis tool claims to have issue with is not surprising to see either.

If the patches were accepted, the person could have used those fixes to justify the benefits of the static analysis tool they wrote.
The most recent possible-double-free was from a bad static analyzer wasn't it? That could have been a good-faith commit, which is unfortunate given the deliberate bad-faith commits prior.

It's worth noting that a lot of people continue to borrow on their homes or take out equity.

I bought a home outside NYC in the fall, and the owners got very little cash out of the deal, in spite of having been here for 35 years.

Which means, that many of those that look like millionaires now may be struggling to keep up with property taxes and can't afford to relocate near comparable.

https://kernelci.org is a Linux Foundation project; there are others, but that's just the main one I know of offhand.

The idea that "not being nice" is necessary is plainly ridiculous, but this post is pretty wild--effectively you're implying that they're just amateurs or something and that this is a novel idea nobody's considered, while billions and billions of dollars of business run atop Linux-powered systems.

What they don't do is hand over CI resources to randos submitting patches. That's why kernel developers receive and process those patches.

It's also mud if a long term thing. So think about what a community could look like in the future. If it is run down, but people are renovating, that's a good sign for the future.
