How does Node play into this? Can I embed a v8 engine in my C program and use pyodide, or do I need to bring Node along too? Does the compatibility layer depend on any Node-specific concepts like the event loop or garbage collector? (I think maybe V8 does its own GC? This just shows how thin my experience is with this topic.)
Let's be clear that the victims here are the public and the perpetrators are the computer operators at the pipeline firm.
The trick is to start 30 years ago, when everybody knew that climate change was real and serious. Then the US can join with other countries to implement any of a variety of carbon control measures, such as a carbon tax. With a worldwide consensus, it would be much more difficult for China to grow its carbon production so rapidly (and for Western countries to outsource all of their carbon-producing activities to China).

Of course, that involves not having spent three decades inculcating paranoid conspiracy theories in the American public. Instead, we can move on to stage 5 climate denialism, "Well, it's too late to do anything about it now".
Interesting concept. Most fingerprinting I've seen so far has for instance used the GPU to detect small differences in rendering, but also based on browser. First cross-browser I've seen, barring the obvious stuff like IP or so.

You original sentence was implying that the deaths would occur to just 19-24 year olds - which clearly isn't going to be the case if the warfare happens in civilian quarters.

You created a false dichotomy - as if those are the only two outcomes and we have to choose between them. When obviously (as your follow up comment shows), there are other scenarios where numerous innocent non-combatants will die.
I think it suggests that the support and SLA costs are higher in these situations.

These factors make sense to me. Note that Gitlab believes the opposite so on prem is also free.

When crypto crashed in March 2020, I understand that a lot of the exchanges got together to keep Tether fueled.

Note that actual-cash - dollars and treasuries - is the same now as it was in Hoegner's affidavit to the NYAG in 2019. Everything added to the "reserve" since then is not-cash.

As I note in the linked article: the market for tethers don't care about Tether's backing, only about Bitcoin number go up.

I'm eagerly awaiting Cas Piancey and Bennett Tomlin finishing their book on Tether ...
My compromise (I teach hundreds Python in live classes each year) is to use IDLE for my Python fundamentals course.

It is not the best environment, but it (generally ) works in Mac/Linux/Win, and it allows them to work on their own computer. This sidesteps environments, but also doesn't make them dependent on having the internet or other services.

On the flipside I teach an analytics class for my alma mater and there we use Colab. Again, sidestepping install completely. I justify it as these folks are more interested in leveraging the tools of Python (matplotlib, sklearn, pandas) and don't necessarily want to be software engineers. For the motivated few who want to install locally I give them a guide [0].

> doesn't make it okay.

In this case it is OK, because this isn't gambling, according to what the manufactures claim, and they go to great lengths to claim that it is not gambling.

If it is not covered under gambling laws, and the manufactures declare that all cards have no monetary value, then I see no problem at all.

> Do you feel that that was wrong of me to do?

No, it is not wrong at all, because the manufactures say that it is not gambling. Therefore this is fair game.
Another post on promotion hacking ?

Top comment [1] from another good HN discussion [2] about this from late last year. Worth repeating

Here's some of my learnings about getting promoted for those that really want to play that game:

- Only the perception of your work matters
- Attend the social events and get in good with the bosses
- The countability of your major achievements is important. Make the list long, too long to hold in the mind
- At the same time the gravitas of your best achievement is also important since that will be the soundbite that is shared about you behind your back
- Get allies who can proselytize about you behind your back
- Be the best. The difference between one and two is bigger than that between two and three, as far as promotions go
- Take credit for your work (use pronouns I and Me when talking about your work, not We) and do not allow others to take credit for your work
- If it's a teamwork situation with other people on your level, don't do most of the work, because the credit will end up being split 50/50 in the eyes of the bosses even if you did most of it
- Make a very good first impression
- Shape the narrative around the role you played in the success of the mission/team/company
- Get the bosses to make a soft public commitment regarding your competence
- Even if you have a really good boss, all of the above is still important, because they are fallible humans and aren't omniscient
- Actually do good work, it'll make the above easier

Ugh. This ransomware crap doesn't stop until the money stops. At this point, ransomware operators are bribing insiders to install their custom, AV-evading ransomware directly on company servers (e.g. https://www.secureworldexpo.com/industry-news/fbi-sting-the-...). No need to trick someone into running a malicious Word attachment when you can just wire someone $1M to do it deliberately! And, best of all, you can set this up in a totally plausibly deniable way - the employee just "accidentally" opens that attachment and off you go.

A lot of ransomware operators are on sanctions lists. Paying them is already illegal. The US DoJ might want to check if Colonial has violated any laws in making these payments - and if they have, punishing them to serve as an example could well discourage future ransomware payers. As long as ransomware operators know they can get paid for their work, they're going to keep doing it.
Unless you are quite rich and powerful, saying that what Assange has done is mostly "asshattery" is dishonest, yes he has had flukes but consider the mental state of someone being prosecuted and hunted by the most powerful and corrupt people in our planet, mostly what Assange has done s good and denying and calling him an asshat is dishonest and shows a clear bias on your part

The approach that would be most interesting to me would be if you could build out your assets with really high quality assets, along with engine friendly low quality versions and then use a slower but high quality ray tracing setup to render out extremely well labeled training sets. This would potentially allow you to have detailed aesthetic control over the end results.

No. The security problem is not a lack of effort or laxness, it is a fundamental inability to solve the problem. At a $5M payout there are essentially 0 commercial IT systems in the world that can stop such an attack. The absolute best of the best commercial IT systems implemented as envisioned with full support can maybe protect up to the $10M level and I am just extrapolating upwards since I have never had any security professional or executive in a Fortune 500 company with a budget in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars ever assess their own systems as more than $1M. With an ROI of 5 is it only a matter of time before criminal enterprises can bootstrap themselves up to exploit the entire total addressable market. At best, better, but still inadequate, security means that the thousands of hungry bears eat the slower fish in the barrel first to get the energy to reproduce and make more bears to eat the rest.

This is not a failure to live up to potential or incompetence, though there is a fair amount of both of those. We need solutions that are literally 100x better than the best systems currently available before we get to even adequate for critical infrastructure whose disruption can literally cause hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in damage let alone potential human lives. Anything less than that keeps extortion economically viable for the attackers and paying off extortion economically sound for the victims. That is how far away we are.

I've been a Firefox user since version 2 and experienced this kind of thing early on.

Years ago I was making a GeoCities page and thought it would be a great idea to add a little picture/icon that followed the pointer around on the webpage (because that was a "cool feature" offered on the site builder at that time). I couldn't get it to work no matter which picture I tried, and I kept trying to add them many more times before eventually giving up on it.

Some time later I wanted to show off the site to a family member on their computer. I pulled up Internet Explorer (because they didn't have Firefox) and navigated to my webpage, where I was greeted by a swarm of icons following the pointer around and slowing the whole computer to a drag.

Lesson learned, test on multiple browsers because people will probably view your site in multiple browsers.

About the only times I've seen backend work get any kind of positive reaction in a meeting or presentation, like UI does constantly, is when a bad DB query has been fixed so it drops from 20s to 20ms, or something like that.
I still don't understand what kind of event could make the Earth so inhospitable that we lose the ability to leave it, but it would leave Mars with this ability intact.

Mars has no fossil fuels, so that can't be it. Minerals cant really be destroyed or exhausted. Technological knowledge is much easier to preserve from cataclysmic events on Earth than it is on Mars (if we fall under some kind of technophobic super empire that seeks to destroy this type of technology, that will as easily spread to Mars as to the rest of the Earth).

- On Chromium, it warned it would not work well on Chrome on Linux. It incorrectly detected all the apps. It seems that the browser would try to open the links with xdg-open.

Clever hack anyway!
I also got one that was a fake that was talking about measuring two actual quantum properties simultaneously by using a third state to probe it indirectly.

Which is absolutely a real thing except that the exact quantum properties in fact didn't commute while they claimed they did commute and said for some reason simultaneous measurement required a third state anyway.

I don't know how I would have been able to distinguish that from completely reasonable methods for quantum error correction without knowing ahead of time which quantum states commute and which don't... pretty cool.

If I were skimming or half asleep I definitely wouldn't have caught a lot of these on hard, abstracts are always so poorly written and usually trying too hard to be complicated sounding by using big words when small ones would do just fine!

Electric cars and rockets only profit from becoming more efficient. Almost everything does, actually.

Proof-of-work cryptocurrency does not. In fact, it counteracts efficiency, by design. If a new ASIC makes mining Bitcoins more efficient, difficulty is adjusted up.

Idunno, wild speculation: Could this be related to the old "Read the book first, see rhe movie only afterwards!" phenomenon? You know, where people recommend getting into a story as pure text first, so you can envision it the way you want, before getting it locked into your head as some film-maker's vision.

Maybe those of us who recommend this order (I frequently do) have some of the traits of your "classic spectrum Aspies".
I think Musk just thought it would be funny to accept BTC, and didn't give any thought to the environmental concerns around BTC.

That Tesla cap is VW is simply not true.

VW simply doesn't include a lot of the things Tesla would be doing themselves. Like service, power production, higher vertical integration, sales and so on. And that is excluding the possibility that Tesla could have a continues improvement on margin.

Not to mention Tesla is established in multiple ohter fast growing industry, solar, stationary home storage and grid storage.

Not to mention Tesla is making itself into a first rate battery companies that have lot of opportunity for other uses.

Not to mention the ongoing race for slef-driving (whatever many on HN think of their strategy)

Not to mention that all Musk companies have been growing pretty consistently and Elon always has a 'next big thing'. Look at SpaceX with Starlink and Starship. He has been talking about an electric plane for 10+ years and eventually that will be a natural extension of what Tesla does, batteries, electric engines (not to mention the connection to SpaceX).

I hear this a lot, and maybe I'm just too far removed from a total beginner's perspective to understand, but what exactly is complicated about installing Python?

Windows in particular is as simple as it gets - there's a Windows Store App that you can install and that's pretty much it.

Call me old-school, but I consider being able to install and start a program on the system I use on a daily basis an essential skill and a pre-requisite to programming. If (and that's one hell of an "if" these days) something goes wrong and troubleshooting is required, the necessary "skills" (read: google the exact error message, maybe followed by some process of elimination) overlap with the skills needed during programming so it actually helps, too.

It rubs me all the wrong ways to tell students to sign up with a commercial online service for something they can experience for free, offline, and without surrendering personal data to some corporate entity on the internet.

As far as IDEs and shortcuts go, that's another thing I just can't wrap my head around: so there are people who are apparently incapable of double-clicking an icon in their respective OS's package manager/app store, but at the same time they are expected to care about particular key bindings and shortcut keys?

I just don't understand this at all. Not to sound like your typical geezer, but back in the day a blinking cursor and a magazine explaining the most important BASIC commands was all you needed to get started. Shortcut keys are the last thing beginners should worry about.

Heck, it's perfectly fine to stay on the REPL for a while and just use a simple text editor for bigger scripts. Even syntax-highlighting can be enabled via plugin in most text editors that are even just better than Notepad.exe.

But again, maybe I'm just way to detached from your typical absolute beginner to even remotely understand any of these issues.
So if we said '55 - '90 (35 years), that'd be a 30% chance of nukes being launched @ 1% yearly risk.

That's more on the fence for me.

On one hand, it's high (and the impact would have been catastrophic!). On the other hand, it prevented NATO / Warsaw Pact mechanized conflict across Europe (which also would have been catastrophic).

Tough call. Especially with the uncertainty that, were you to give up your nuclear weapons, there's no guarantee your counterparties would actually do the same.

In the 60s foundational position papers, there's definitely a strong thread of "We will commit to MAD not because it's the best approach, but because it's the best zero trust approach."
You taking it a wee bit too hard.

> fact that people think it's realistic is just a kick in the pants

The story is science...fiction. not a documentary on space travel. The realistic bit is obviously hyperbole, no one thinks you can take off a planet that easily. But it was good to move the plot forward. The part people like about that it felt like science anyone who has read popular mechanics (and heard about Hawking-
'S work and something about general relativity & time dilation) can nod their head during scenes that have payoffs that are "intellectually" satisfying.

Now now. Satisfying in that with space travel there are no free lunches and the universe in general is a pretty grim and hostile place.

And the black hole visuals were cool AF. That's a good movie.
Did it on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari and got the same code on all three. In all three it failed to detect some apps, but the same ones failed each time.

When I did it in Safari it actually caused Apple Music to open. When I did it in Chrome it popped up a small square window where I could see it doing it's thing.

Firefox was the only one where it was silent.

But still, that's an interesting hack. Very clever.
What would make Mars more suited for housing such expertise, that couldn't as easily be stored in an artificial environment somewhere on Earth?

Those numbers came from Apple, lets pull them apart:

>App Store stopped more than $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions in 2020

They never justify or source this, they literally just pulled it out of their ass.

>Apps rejected for containing hidden or undocumented features

A lot of those are probably development tools that users legitimately wanted.

>Other rejected apps

Good job they blocked some stupid obvious scams. The web is full of these so the users careless enough to fall for them will still get scammed. I don't see how that justifies the ridiculous situation they've created.

>credit card numbers are never shared with merchant.

The whole point behind credit cards is that you don't care if someone steals the number. Otherwise everyone would be using PKI instead of shouting an ID number at eachother. So yeah, thanks I guess for saving some banks money but that does little to help the end user.
I can understand government work being meaningful if you’re doing something that can’t be done in the private sector like setting policy, regulatory compliance, working on health or climate change etc, but why would it be meaningful to help the French government build a shitty Google clone, to the tune of a 2/3 pay cut?

I would argue that it would be much more worthwhile to spend money improving Earth for humans while we can, than dumping trillions of dollars into spaceflight (which I say unironically as someone who is currently paid by NASA).

Not sure how that's the case given the staggering emissions of Falcon 9 for example.
