I'd never made the connection between the gradual shuttering of coal plants and freight rail, but wow, that is a big deal. A quick search finds that coal is about 30% of rail tonnage in the US. A bunch more (not looking it up, but if you've ever seen a train, it's clearly also a lot of what they haul) is other fossil fuels.

I wonder how they're going to cope with (let's give a very lowball estimate) 40% of their tonnage tapering off over the next few decades. Looks like coal shipped by rail is already way down from its peak, and dropping fast. Looks like they charge a premium for intermodal shipping—may have to cut prices on that to keep volume up.

I'm not sure what this insistence on trying to separate the government from the people in Israel brings to the discussion.

By the way Israel has normalized relations with three Arab countries, the last agreement made in 2020. Unfortunately the palistinean peace effort is now close to 20 years, with no real progress there.

You state the United States is producing 15% of global CO2 emissions - but that presumably ignores all the CO2 produced on the behalf of the United States in producing the products we import. Including those imports makes our CO2 emissions jump significantly higher - which is really bad seeing as how the United States has only 5% of the world's population. So even discounting imports the United States has the opportunity to reduce its CO2 emissions by 66%. How we achieve that can be a model for others to follow. I'd much rather be in a position of do as I do rather than do as I say.
Not really, if the buyer/seller is not actually lying.
If nuclear war breaks out, it will be sad, we will lose a lot of our population, and cities will be destroyed, but I do not think a nuclear breakout will result in the death of humanity. I cannot see a realistic war scenario in which we will destroy every habitable corner of the planet.

And if we can cure cancer in the next 50 years (I think realistic), we'll have even better odds of surviving an event, as a species.
I think most people would oppose it if the media were really presenting it as an issue to keep in mind. However, most of the people in the media are very much supporters of such powers, as they are deep believers in the rightness of US institutions and their 'fundamentally benign' nature. If you look at the media, most are still in support of every single war America has ever been in, with the only opposition being on matters of strategy (e.g. "The US should have retreated from Vietnam earlier", not "there was no defensible reason for the war in Vietnam, it was just a blatant display of imperialism"). And I'm not talking about Fox (who pride themselves on such views), but even the most liberal papers or news channels.

Of course, they are very much opposed to such measures in other countries, especially their enemies.
Nobody thinks that EVs have a zero carbon footprint.

But over the lifetime of the car, they have a lower footprint than ICE. Yes, they have a higher footprint than ICE to manufacture, but even if you get your power from coal, over the long term their carbon footprint is lower. And if your power comes from a renewable source, then the break-even point is less than two years.

Engineering Explained did a good video doing the math behind the carbon footprints of ICE versus EV over the life of the car:

> The text of the US constitution explicitly talks about the rights of people, not citizens - so I would argue that the constitution itself has always prohibited this.

No, it talks about "the people." As in the preamble: "We the People of the United States."

> However, there is a long history of interpreting 'people' to mean specific groups - from only white people to only citizens.

Playing with the interpretation of "people" has never been a mechanism for excluding people from constitutional protection. For example, the 3/5ths clause states as follows:

> Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons

It refers to enslaved people as "persons." The Fugitive Slave clause likewise refers to a "person held to service or labour."
> He'll drop off the richest people list faster than he climbed it (which was too fast).

His level of wealth presently is silly and unsustainable, however SpaceX can probably sustain him on the richest list just fine (takes $20b+ to stay in the top 100, SpaceX can give him that by itself). It would have to RUD for him to fall off, which appears quite unlikely at present. I'd bet against Tesla before I'd bet against SpaceX. There are no serious competitors to SpaceX looking out five years, whereas Tesla has enormous competition coming at them from every angle (not least of which is in China, where they may have already extracted what they wanted from Tesla, explaining the recent propaganda attack there against Tesla and turn south in the narrative in the state controlled media). The US Government, NASA and the military all desperately need SpaceX to succeed, they're nice allies to have so vested in your well-being, they help smooth over problems and risks; they've been paving the way for SpaceX since early on.

This reminds me of how often I quote weight limits on cars to people and their eyes go wide at how easy it is to exceed the OEM's recommended limits. I'm fairly sure I'm one of the few among my friend groups that has read through every owners manual for the cars/vans I've owned.
> they cannot be that stupid

Oh yes they can.

Also, assume you have the key - what you do with it? You don't know how the files were encrypted, in which way they were stored afterwards, etc. There are many ways one can encrypt and write data, even with the same key - you obviously need the algorithm, but also there are often parameters (e.g. block sizes), storage formats etc. The easiest way to deliver all that is to provide a program.

Otherwise, what a random "press any key" IT person would do with an encryption key? They probably don't even have any tools that can do encryption on any of the systems. Do they have to write those themselves? Use OSS tools - which ones? With which parameters? What if it doesn't work?
Typesense operates on JSON documents. So you'd have to first extract the data from PDFs / office docs into JSON and then index it.

> The reason it's currently unlikely is because ad-networks need to validate their views.

Ad-networks also want to validate views because they don't trust the hosting website. They don't need to trust the hosting website's server when they can receive a direct connection from the client.

However, there is an alternative that fits "serverside ads, binary blob" scenario: the ad-network hosts the website. Obviously the website owner wouldn't want to turn over control to the ad-network, but they don't get a choice when they depend on the ad-network for revenue. Even worse: this isn't a hypothetical concern. Google already tried to implement ad-network hosted websites with "AMP".
There was a time Porsche made more profits than revenue, back before the 2008 crash. Mainly due to financial shenanigans, primarily with VW. Came crashing down in 2008 with the failed acquisition of VW, that ended with a merger of kinds.

Maybe Tesla ends up in a similar situation, making the majority of it profits from Bitcoin. Wouldn't be to bad for them short term, it would mud the waters regarding Tesla even more so.

I have a vested interest in hoping it lands successfully, but being a software engineer, I know how many bugs I've had even in simple programs, I can only imagine the kinds of bugs that will be discovered in eth2 considering just how complex it is.
From a biophysics perspective, I find this really fascinating. These self-contained molecular machines with a co-located energy source can plod along, albeit very slowly, for perhaps hundreds of years and ultimately self-replicate. It seems like this has implications for interstellar colonization, among other things.

"We can't tell you if we are violating your constitutional rights or not, because that's classified on the basis of national security."

When the preservation of the formerly supreme law of the land is made subordinate to the interests of the ruling military, I think it is safe to say the american experiment is over.

I have long maintained that the US is basically a military dictatorship. There are many examples, like the CIA hacking congressional computers to cover up the fact that the CIA lied under oath to congress. Snowden telling us that all of the large US internet and web service providers have to spy on everyone, citizens and not, without a warrant. And now this.

The US is not a free country today, if indeed it ever was.
Is being a "good" security person really more involved than:

* making sure you have all your ports locked down

* limit connectivity between all instances to only the bare minimum

* any public access is via protocols such as ssh which have zero-to-none vulnerabilities

* any 3rd party software you dont know is secure should never be public

* routinely run employee training on how not to let themselves get hacked via social engineering

I'm sure I'm missing other stuff, but I feel like if you follow these "best practices", you have just made yourself a very hard target and hackers will probably skip over you unless they have some weird reason to target your org specifically. So for 95% of companies out there, this level of security should be sufficient.

I'm legitimately asking - is this sufficient? Or are hackers so creative that even following these basic rules will still not make you a hard target?

This stuff seems fairly easy to do but I agree you need training or an info-sec person making sure your dev teams are doing it all. You can't have any slip ups. Your devs / managers have to take it seriously.
> > Realized capital gains are, in point of fact, cash income.

> That's not what TFA is tracking

Congratulations on reading the first sentence of the post. Perhaps at some point later there was discussion of how unrealized gains relate back to the cash income that is realized gains and how that is relevant to taxation, for which discussion of realized gains was preparatory, rather than the first sentence being the whole of the response.
Sometimes the articles are really short which makes it even harder to figure out which is fake. GPT's big weakness is that it tends to forget what it was talking about and wanders off after a couple of paragraphs. With just one sentence to examine it can be very hard to spot.
It would at least help the narrative that they genuinely had a change of conscious though, as opposed to just keeping the profits.
> While the market in general is down, the major losses in this crash were Bitcoin, Doge and Shiba. Bitcoin is an obvious result given the news. Doge and Shiba have had pretty spectacular gains over the last ~30d and seeing them lose considerable value is unsurprising if you follow crypto markets much.

the interesting thing is that all those 3 coin crashes were again due to Elon Musk. He has been spreading the FUD all this time. I wonder how influencing markets is legal.
Ask HN: How to Start a Local Community?
I live in (south of France) town where there is a lot of tech, but no real sense of community.

I think it would be super interesting to organize the local tech scene around something like a Discord.

I have no experience with community management, so I was wondering if you did something similar where you're and if you can share useful resources?

I mean, you're essentially saying here that memory safety is not worth having, which is a position increasingly at odds with the evidence.
The opposite is true, its a WYSIWYG wiki which you can abuse for project management. The project management capabilities are similar to Github Project boards which means that it is very basic.
> And the only way off without a mass password reset is a silent migration in the background: migrate the user when they login.. but we all know that will take months and you will never get 100% to login during the migration period.

I would expect that the way to do this sort of migration is to run it until the costs associated with maintaining the migration infrastructure exceed the projected losses due to churn. You don't need to worry much about auth provider pricing because these are typically billed on the basis of monthly-active-users, so even if you have a small number of users who aren't active, they'll hardly show up on your bill. When this pool of unmigrated users is small enough that you can tolerate churning a percentage of them, you can turn off your migration infrastructure and enforce a hard password reset.

That said, I don't know what kind of business has a significant percentage of users who churn because of a one-time password reset. I can't imagine any b2b contracts being canceled because the service provider enforced a password reset. Maybe retail sites are different?
I tried making fake tweets using GPT-2 two years ago. When I actually interviewed people to verify my model I got good results for people who didn't actively engage with twitter versus people who regularly engaged in twitter (note that this was an N ~ 10 people and it was limited to GPT-2 774M.

I found that people would also refuse the test and would believe whatever the output of the model was due to my choice of subject.

Others that did a similar exercise and tried to verify their results using reddit had a great deal of people who would be able to spot fakes quite easily.

The biggest issue would be someone using a system to deliberately fool a targeted set of people which is easy given how ad networks are run.
True, I guess maybe they were more to target groups who wore masks and were/are known for breaking laws. I think some were passed (and definitely at least proposed) to target antifa, and I believe some were also passed to target the KKK.
If you take people out of war, wars are more likely to happen. There will be less opposition from the public when it's just "toasters" and "microwaves" (electronics) being sent overseas to fight "the bad guys".

Given the track record of how many unjust wars that have been fought, we need more preventative measures against wars, not more technology to make wars easier and more palatable.
Hard to take that at face value when Tesla has historically struggled to make profits. If you were worried about liquidity, you wouldn't put that much capital at risk.

Also, liquidity today doesn't say anything about liquidity in a year's time.
I'm surprised not to see "Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives" listed here. This is a movie about the late Hugh Everett, developer of the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, by his son, Eels front man Mark Everett.

I think criminal penalties is too much. I think at some point paying ransom is better than not paying, for example, in case of attacks on hospitals. People can literally die.

What needs to happen is that when an organization that skips IT security practices, it should have large monetary penalties and its executives held responsible, no golden parachutes for them. You can imagine any factory where they don't practice OSHA safety guidelines will get in major trouble.

I'm struggling to think of a single negative thing that I can directly associate with mass surveillance in the US. Certainly nothing bad has happened to me personally or anyone that I know because of it. So no one cares because it doesn't impact anyone's lives.
I think most people don't care much about privacy for themselves ("I have nothing to hide") and are happy to let military intelligence daddy read their emails, as long as it doesn't affect their life.

They remain ignorant of the fact that this means that people who actually do need privacy for purposes of organization against the harmful elements of the status quo (civil rights leaders, labor leaders, political party upstarts, et c) will be kneecapped by this for the remainder of the time the USA exists.

It's a lack of imagination, really. The Long Now.
Even if the Constitution did prescribe punishments (what's a law without enforcement? wishful thinking.), everyone seems to think that just because there's some lines in the constitution that the matter is settled.

Proxima Centauri will outlive the vast majority of stars in the galaxy.
