How do you propose getting rid of the PSL? I don't see alternatives to having an authoritative publicly available list, unless we change the current standards somehow?

> I sure would like it if Mozilla shipped a way for extensions to just consult Firefox's built-in copy of the PSL

the PSL is available at https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat - as noted elsewhere in this tread it is also used by other browsers. I guess the one built into Firefox is just downloaded from there and cached? If so why would you want that over the other?
These statement assumes that said employees don't already plan to donate their money.

I'd note too that on the individual level, the risk calculus shifts. There is a good case for earmarking charity money (allowing use of it for personal emergencies) and leaving them in your own investments and dedicating them upon death, rather than committing them immediately to your favorite cause of the day.
Then can it really be trusted at a time when people fake vaccination cards in the US, lie about COVID and don't even wear masks ?
How is this different from fiat currencies and stocks? Those go up and down all the time for no reason, or at least for irrational reasons. There's no reason why Bitcoin and other coins couldn't mature into a more stable up/down cycle to mirror those.

Have you investigated OT at all? I'm not sure CRDTs are a great fit for complicated datatypes like an editor, and their strong convergence properties don't get you much in something as free form as text.
> I was actually impressed that the OpenSSH team figured out a way to make this work at all without adding an entirely new mechanism to SSH

This is what they did, though: FIDO2 requires client and server support for the new "-sk" key types, since FIDO2 requires a very specific challenge/response format and does not just allow signing arbitrary hashes.

The older way of supporting SSH keys in security keys is through GPGs "smartcard" support, which requires using gpg-agent as an SSH agent and a security key that can speak CCID (i.e. pose as a smartcard reader with a permanently inserted smartcard over USB). That's what Yubikeys do, among others.
I don't know enough about the US system to comment on that.

However in Germany a large part of prison work is around qualification. The inmates can learn a job and once released have a useable qualification for finding a job. Most prisons in that way are self supporting. Meaning food is made by inmates who are cooks or are learning to be a chef. Repairs for heating or doors or furniture are made by inmates etc. Only a small part of the work is for external customers and even a smaller part is for the prison's online Shop like https://www.haftsache.de/

And yes salaries are low, but they get free food and accomodation and aren't there for fun but punishment ...

> ... his observation that consumption is prone to drying up.

Now that wording has a certain ring to it (in my ears).

"Consumption prone to drying up"? As if consumption alone were of any value. As if consumption were the foundation of all well being. As if it were something that needs to be tended to like some garden with flower beds.

Sounds more like ideology to me instead of reasoning.
Having been guilty of "can we try another algorithm" which is only one remove from p-jacking, I think we need to encourage more negative results publication. We need to incentivise and reward it.

and its forced labor practices
> "debt to society"

My thought is that prison guards are paid because their work is a "debt to society", to force people to slave labour on a daily basis can not be good for you. In the same vein, I think society looses by systematically making prison guards slavers. I believe this is the case for ordinary prison guards as well, but in that case at least the correctional part could be believable.

That's yoo generous of a definition. I would prefer if the software I used didn't crash, or have any bugs, but mistakes get made sometimes. By your definition, that's malware. I would say malware is software who's primary focus is to do things the user wouldn't like. A game checking DRM licenses isn't malware as it's not the primary purpose, just an annoying aspect.

Hi! I'm the author of Vendure. I've been working on it full-time for the past 3 years. Today we released v1.0.0!

The release announcement is here: https://www.vendure.io/blog/2021/05/announcing-vendure-v1.0/

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Absolutely not. There are plenty of markets that don't care about energy intensive use. Literally no one gave a shit about it a year ago, they won't start now.

Nice work.

From a fairly basic set of morals, both privatized prisons and health care are obviously wrong. Heavy rules and regulation could reduce the problem somewhat, but fundamentally, you have a business that wishes to profit. In terms of health care, it is providing less and charging more. In terms of prison, it's incarcerating more and spending less / treating worse. The US is IMO far into coo-coo land on the approach to both, and with so many of the things that make no sense there, it's deeply rooted in systemic racism.
The touch/no-touch requirement is controlled by the server (or in FIDO2 terminology, the "relying party").

OpenSSH exposes this as a new sshd option called "no-touch-required", which Github probably just does not set.
This is crazy talk.

Almost the entire financial system was illiquid and insolvent, and would have collapsed without massive and unprecedented government intervention.

And in all cases, management knew, or should have known they were lending money that would never be returned.

For example, the reason "liar loans" were called that, was because the financial institution issuing the loans refused to check reported income even if the information was available. The name "liar loans" was common in the financial industry BEFORE the crash.
True. When I say I haven’t seen it in a while I mean the past two weeks or so.

so locked means i can not boot any other system until its unlocked? How do i do this? is there another passphrase involved? do i have to reset the chip before anything else is booted? i am probably not that well informed on this topic.

> You cannot copy the key once it's moved into the TPM chip.

obviously not! but i can just use it right away without figuring out your password. That is assuming i can fool the system to trust me. It requires the same level of access but in case of the passphrase i am blocked until i solved this. If i use your key immediately to ensure my own keys are trusted i am already done.
The claim that we are alone in the observable universe seems incredibly arrogant. We don't have enough data for such an extraordinary claim.

Time and time again we have discovered that we are less special than we thought. Life appeared quickly after Earth was formed. I'm convinced the universe is teeming with life.
That was an interesting and well written story.

Early days of programming were sure facinating. Small businesses using other small businesses to write custom software. Lots of tinkering and hacking. Interesting times.

I really like this idea, especially since it plays well with Simulation arguments. But unless there is some kind of inception-like time distortion occurring in a Simulations-all-the-way down scenario, then disappearing into virtual worlds is not eternal. Eventually every star will burn out.

I think that at least some people (and when you're dealing with galactic timescales and spaces, this means a lot of people) would stay in reality to figure out how to get around entropy and heat-death.

So even though we might very well be in a simulation of VR-checked-out civilizations (or even if we aren't), I would expect to see some people in our simulation/reality fighting against the parameters of the simulation/reality that puts a time-limit on existence.

Right. The outbreak in Michigan is subsiding even as people are doing less mitigation, for instance.

At a guess, it's harder to get your hands on weaker chips in larger quantities. Larger chips are dirt-cheap, while for weaker ones you'd either have to raid NOS from warehouses, or fab it yourself (which is expensive, and sometimes outright impossible - I don't think we've got the tech to fab a SID chip any more, for instance).

> I have not been tested on the fundamentals of programming taking interviews from FAAGM and other famous tech companies. Instead I've been asked "puzzle" questions that generally have nothing to do with the millions of lines of code I've written in the past nor anything to do with what I will do for the company. All those questions on leetcode are 95% unrelated to actual problems IMO.

> 95% of every web app, mobile app, or native app is just very basic stuff. How often do you need to be able reverse the first half of signally linked list? Or compute the most amount of water that will fill a vertical grid. Or find the largest rectangle in a bitmap. Or divide to giant integers. Or solve sudoku puzzles?

I accept your point. But I do believe the much more interesting question to ask is: why do they do these puzzle questions instead of questions that are at least somewhat related to actual programming problems that might occur as part of the prospective job?
You can't back it up. For ssh keys for eg github this is fine, you just configure a new one as you dont need the ssh key to log in (eg I have password and multiple u2f tokens). For ssh to say servers you might want another key setup, you could have an offline software key, or multiple computers.
Loved this one. When I was mid-20’s I found myself in a “how much” situation as well. Thankfully I had the gumption to “go for it.”

I had found a solution to save the business 100k+ when another contractor charged 10k+ and failed to complete a job because the business couldn’t pay them any more. The thing is, once I started digging into it, the other contractor had done 95% of the work; It just needed a nudge to get finished. But As far as the business was concerned, it was 0% done because it was an all-or-nothing situation (either it worked or didn’t).

I did the final 5% and charged $3,000. I presented it as “I can fix the problem for 3k.” Was that completely fair to them I sometimes wonder? I don’t lose any sleep over it — they had a problem and I fixed it. I think it was wrong for the first contractor not to finish the work up and deal with a final invoice rather than insisting on pay in advance and abandoning them that close to the finish lone.

As far as the business was concerned I was a very cheap solution, and I made an hourly rate of about $2k per hour.
> the criminalization of drug users creates thousands of free prison workers.

The antislavery amendment* explicitly permits prison labor and this was put in as a sop to the former slave states. The later used this to reproduce their prior system de facto (look up Parchman and Angola prisons for much discussion of the sordid details).

Not surprising Jim Crow was an important part of this, and the use and deployment of drug laws (other than alcohol) began as part of this racial mechanism.

Well I'm 37. We might split hairs here about what is and isn't retro. The GBA came out in 2001, which admittedly isn't that long ago, but in many ways, it was simply a modernized, mobile variant of the SNES. Indeed, many of its most successful titles were simply ports of SNES games from the 90s, like Super Mario World. So in my mind, it's a mobile 16-bit console in spirit (I know it actually has a 32-bit ARM CPU). That's less true for the DS.

And I don't think many people would argue that 16-bit gaming had "no real charm", I consider it to be the peak of the 2D era. In fact, Super Mario World is often held as one of the best platformers of all the time. With all its fan mods, it's still widely played to this day. It's the early 3D era that followed that's mostly forgotten.
AFAIK, the "instant on" aspect is a big part of the draw. Linux boot time doesn't cut it.
You’re downvoted, but it’s true. Bitcoin might be a scam, not worth investing and used as a currency, but we will see it above 100k again. Might not be soon, but someone will dig it up and pump it, so that they can dump it again.
A news report with the words "Experts say.." is noise. A case documented in a journal in a trial (e.g. DANMASK-19, or any of the dozens of other trials) is not an unreasonable standard of evidence in order to better determine what the true risk of outdoor transmission is.

> so locked means i can not boot any other system until its unlocked?

https://linuxhint.com/secure-boot-linux/ / https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot

UEFI with your own keys in TPM (same tech involved) allows you to run only your signed bootloader and kernel. So no external media, replacing the disk, or tricks like init=/bin/sh will work. You can only boot into the signed system. From there you have the usual user account controls.
One shot is therefore not sufficient for herd immunity, apparently, as expected. We need also data for all the various vaccines, and for people who recovered from the infection.
> but I don’t think it’s sensible to adhere to principles in a black and white way

I agree with you, you should for sure listen to criticism against your principles, and challenge them yourself too. But if they change because "if we didn’t have such a dire X", I wouldn't call it a "principle" anymore. A principle (for me) would mean that you don't compromise on it "in emergency" but rather that it's something fundamental you believe in, without much reason in many cases.

> because the intent displayed by Nvidia does matter

Yeah, agree again that it matters, but as a gamer myself, I'm afraid it doesn't solve the problem for me. I want to be able to buy graphic cards myself too, and these "fixes" from NVIDIA looks (to me) like posturing without actually try to address the core problem (low supply). I'd love for them to come up with a real solution, that doesn't try to decide how people use their computers, even though I don't want to mine anything myself.
> I've heard so much mask discussion since the beginning of the pandemic it's much easier for me to tell someone to wear one and just, pardon the French, STFU about it.

So following your logic that someone has to wear mask and STFU just because you decided so? Sorry to say that but we are not in dystopia yet luckily and you can tell _yourself_ what to do, but STFU about what other people have to.

I wish people would stop using "inflation" in conjunction with "asset". It just causes confusion in what inflation actually means, and there's already a term for what you are referring to:

> QE is arguably one of the greatest drivers of wealth inequality. If the QE was done to fund social security payments

That is the job of legislators, not central banks.

In the US the Federal Reserve isn't a fairy godmother or genie that can solve all of society's ills. They did what they could and were allowed to make sure the system works. Where was Congress?

The price of copper tripled between December 2008 and February 2011:

And it led to… precisely nothing. A sluggish recovery which took too long because of a lacklustre stimulus because of the deficit hawks.

These rise in numbers were predicted months ago:

We’ll probably see a number of transitory price increases, not just because the economy is booming, but also because the lingering effects of the pandemic have produced some unusual disruptions — for example, a global shortage of shipping containers.

So Hamas was "invented" in 1987. What about before that? Who was the enemy of IDF that demanded their creation, their need to pursue apartheid against Palestinians ?

So assume Hamas winds down operations today, will IDF stop their bombings, stop settlements? Stop murdering children? Stop violating UN resolutions on war crimes and crimes against humanity and their expansion plan into occupied territories?
Will Israel give back Palestinians the land they forcefully took from them since 1947?

Where does Hamas even come into the picture you baffoon

But most recent research done in the recent years about the protocols used on the web tend to be built on top of UDP and not TCP, for many historical reasons.

In theory TCP would be the better choice, but in practice this is more complex than you assume.
