This change will really hurt them. The biggest effect is on paid app installs since you no longer have access to the advertiser ID which makes it extremely difficult to measure performance and tracking app usage on the device. I’ll take a bet that some of this gets rolled back when it hurts Apple’s App Store revenue.

Its a presentation about Colossus and the role it played to help in the cryptanalysis of the Lorenz cipher. It is regarded as "... the world's first programmable, electronic, digital computer, although it was programmed by switches and plugs and not by a stored program..."

The presentation has detail of analysis of the different cipher in use at the time. Also fascinating historical details of the technical work done, for example:

- Some of the breakthroughs in cryptanalysis were only possible because one day, one of the German Engima machine operators had to resend the same message twice, due to a transmission error. However he/she forgot to rotate the encoding mechanism.

- Colossus was considered so secret that after the war it was destroyed on purpose.

- The creator of Colossus managed to cross the border
and escape the German army just by a 3 hours difference.
> The land is seemingly worth nothing and the building itself worth zero or really a liability.

The land is worth as much as it otherwise is. This is essentially a very large subsidy towards interesting people in living in rural areas (which is where most of those houses would be).

> For example will a bank even lend money against such a home or is there some underlying assumption that you'd have to demolish and rebuild new before they'd even consider it?

The bank doesn't care about the house if the building is considered to have no value either way.

I may be mistaken but my understanding is that japanese houses depreciate quickly because they're considered largely disposable, at least when it comes to "modern" homes.
It is hard to compare two RISC-V cores if they do not have similar configuration options. For example: what kind of ISA extensions, supported traps, custom extensions, CSRs, etc. does VexRiscv "SmallAndProductive" configuration include?

I like that it is written in VHDL and provides an all-in-one package: cpu, soc and software

> But it is rather redundant to say vhdl and softcore

I disagree. Firstly, there are many other hardware description languages (Verilog, migen, SpinalHDL for instance), and while they can more or less interoperate, one could prefer a given language depending on the context.

Secondly, vhdl can be synthesized, placed and routed as an ASIC "hard core" or more precisely "soft macro".

Yeah, you are right, I don't know of any FPGA (yet) shipping with hard RISC-V cores.

I'm not sure where you have this impression from, but I can assure you that in many non-urban areas getting fiber (hikari) is a non-option.

Many folks resort to LTE or WiMax to compensate, which has poor performance in general and even worse in poor weather.

For context, even in Tokyo, you would be surprised at the number of apartment buildings that come with shared 100Mbit lines for 30+ units, with no way of installing faster direct lines (in large part due to owner/agency refusal).

I always wonder what's the endgame for Russia. In terms of national GDP, it's sitting between Canada and South Korea. Can you imagine Canada hoarding nukes and sending troops for "vacation"? I don't think Canada could afford to, even if they wanted to (which, thankfully, they don't).

...Is Russia slowly bankrupting itself by pretending to be its former self?
If they have proper physics I'll have to have a look at that, I wanted to try and make my own simracing game in Unreal Engine previously (i.e. use the engine for graphics and inputs etc.), but the built-in vehicles were a step in the right direction but ultimately very hard to try to use realistic physics with.

However I agree to you that this isn't enough. Even without dark patterns too many people will click "yes" without understanding and this will live on in some way or another, till we make laws stricter.
>It makes sure we calculate the loads correctly and use appropriate materials.

No, it make sure that nobody dies when you calculate the loads incorrectly and use inappropriate materials.
It's not like the only two choices you have in the world are UUIDs and auto-incrementing sequential IDs.

There are many better alternatives to UUID for the general case in which UUIDv4 is used, that provide some of the following advantages (based on the implementation):
- Simpler spec and implementation
- Easier to enforce compatibility across implementations (no ambiguity about letter case, order or hyphenation)
- Smaller size and better readability
- Lexicographically sortable based on time of generation
- Deterministic uniqueness guarantee

UUID is too much of a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none. It originally defined many versions (which should have been called "formats") for flexibility, but nowadays only UUIDv4 (and less often UUIDv1) seem to be in use. UUIDv3 and UUIDv5 rely on the insecure MD5 and SHA-1, which, while it seems UUIDv2 and Nil UUIDs were rarely ever used.

I hate it when developers are always reaching immediately for UUIDv4 while they almost always have a better choice for their case.

I read that as "re-run or refresh, as applicable", i.e. re-run a Go app or refresh a Node.js webapp. Besides, it absolutely can be a big issue with non-frontend development, so the point still stands.
If you had the luxury of throwing away bridges or planes or space shuttles to test every possible circumstance, then I guess eventually the safety factor could conceivably come down to 1.0, right? You would've satisfied yourself that nothing in the real world was not in your simulations?
And I don't see how that changes anything. I just see this as a distinction without a difference.

People have written software to target buildings, soldiers, tanks, planes, missiles, etc. This is done via radar, heat signatures, cameras -- and software already. It's not such a big change really.

I believe the thing you really have to worry about is the proliferation of NBC. It's easier to drop a nerve agent in a war zone than it is to figure out how to make an explody drone to kill your enemies and not you, say.
Not that important, just make sure you graduate. I never had a company ask for my grades before extending an offer. I was asked a couple of times for transcript for visa paperwork, but doubt any bad grades there would have mattered at that point.

> the user can breathe a sigh of relief as their location cannot be shared with nearby devices unless the app explicitly states it — which most users will unanimously deny.

If Facebook simply have their app say it won't work without accepting this, then I very, very much doubt that anything but a miniscule number of people would be uninstalling the app.
Sounds fine to me. The problem with apps is not quantity but quality. If we had ten percent as many and they were twice as good, I would be happy. Even if they were basically the same but didn’t constantly put click here to go to the App Store screens, I would be happy.

You set it to the output of id -u and id -g. It's two lines. There are definitely lots of things more complex when dealing with docker than this.

You provide the team with a script containing those two lines and a docker-compose wrapper and you're set.

Of course it would have been better not to have to care about these things, but hey, at least you're not installing and configuring 4-5 services to bootstrap an application.

One reason would be that you have a future (years) ship date and aren't yet in full production (but close). The sooner you adopt the new environment art and lighting workflows, the less sunk cost you'll have in assets/workflows that are now irrelevant.

There are also staffing implications. If you no longer have to create LODs for your environment art, do you reprioritize your environment art outsource budget? Likewise lighting, if we can hit higher quality with 1/3 of the personnel, where does the budget then go to? The earlier you can get a handle on the implications of these new workflows, the better you'll be able to answer those questions.

>should we expect firefighters to do post-blaze media panels where they answer questions

I didn't downvote your comment but your comparison with firefighters is not relevant in this case. It's part of the job description for professional athletes being paid at sports events to talk to the media.

>Lastly, only having one source of jobs stretches the concept of "freely" entering into an employment contract.

She's not an employee. She's a professional athlete that voluntarily enters into sport events with established rules by the tour organizers. The opportunity to earn millions in prize money is a privilege provided by the combination of the events' prestige + media sponsorship + press coverage. She's not an oppressed minimum-wage employee asserting inalienable workers' rights issues. The press conference obligations are part of the tennis event that she already agreed to as a professional.

>And anyway, we have higher responsibilities than the contracts we sign.

Yes but I think Andre Agassi's handling of Wimbledon's rules in 1980s was more professional and respectful. At first, he didn't agree with Wimbledon's strict rule to wear all white so he skipped Wimbledon for 3 years. In other words, he didn't agree to participate at Wimbledon and then show up in a colorful red and blue outfit to stick a middle finger to the event. Likewise, Osaka could have skipped the Grand Slams to avoid the mental health issues from media interviews. But she preferred to enter the event anyway and roll the dice with paying the fines as a way to break the rules. That seems to be the more unprofessional approach by trying to workaround the event's policies. In any case, if the tour responds by expelling her from the event, she needs to be ok with those consequences. She has to weigh the mental health issues of being kicked out vs talking to the press.

It's very convenient to conclude "bad things happen to you? maybe you're a shitty person", but that's not how reality works.

Users may not want to pay for myriad of reasons, like unfair competition, or competition of lower quality where the user can't clearly determine the quality they receive, preconditioning and other existing biases, and so on.

How do you think our media found themselves in a continued decline over the last few decades? They were paid, but they had to focus on online presence and ads as low-quality blogs and fake news replaced them. People don't want to pay for quality journalism, because they can't tell the difference. This doesn't mean quality journalism doesn't provide value.

Furthermore, ads by themselves are not a bad service in our world. It's basically a business saying "hey I'm here, I have this to offer, if you want it". Is that such a bad concept? Of course there are scams, and so on. But that's not INHERENT to ads right? It's one thing to fight for higher quality ads, another to hate ads entirely.

If you substitute “predatory” for “personalized” whenever the subject comes up, it better represents my thoughts.
> Firstly it got rid of Trump who was before covid in charge of one of the best economies in the USA and would have had an easy path to reelection. The virus was a black swan event that caused that to go away and trump.to make several mistakes. It also got joe biden elected which we know the CCP preferred.

This sounds super far fetched. When Covid began to spread the democratic candidate wasn't chosen yet and this theory completely relies on the Trump administration to completely screw up in the eyes of the public. I don't have a high opinion of Trump, but the US government is a lot larger than him.

And then if they're caught it turns the entire planet against them. It sounds like a massive risk just to get rid of a somewhat annoying president 4 years early, it's not like he was threatening war or anything like that.

I have the same experience. If cross platform loading of environment variables and shell scripting is needed one can use Powershell. Together with Windows Terminal and tmux for Linux and Mac, you can start every microservice in different panes and tabs. You won't get the full Docker experience where you know for a certainty that your code will run the same way in production, but leave that to ci/cd, perhaps a local kubernetes cluster you can use for production-like testing.

I buy political ads for a living. I can (usually) make an immediate positive return on investment running ads for donations or growing an email list. Been doing this for years and has raised millions for our clients.

I have tested and spent money on other platforms none of them work nearly as well for our clients. Search ads work but I believe that's far more of what OP is talking about. If your website is already #1 spot and someone searches to donate they would probably do it already getting there quickly without the ad. The problem is when others or even the same party parent org buys that top spot to get that traffic.

The rarely discussed danger of KYC and what you can do about it
The entire idea of communism is meant to solve this problem, it is even in the name.

And the solution is essentially using force. Someone will guard the cookie jar and make sure you don't take more than one. Workers are supposed to form a collective to enforce these rules.

For example, you don't just launch a satellite, you tell the state you want to launch a satellite and if some council decides it will have a positive impact on society, you will be paid you a fixed salary to build it. This way, you can take a step back and think about the whole process, from start to finish and not just the money making part, there are no competitors to undercut you.

At least that's theory. In practice it is very vulnerable to corruption and it doesn't incentivizes productive work.

Because nothing else is going on in the world besides your ad campaign, right?

Like you I find the comments about the ad industry here on HN largely ignorant, but I also think most advertisers and agencies are dumb as rocks, or at best high on their own supply. Like, a piece of analysis I saw recently had some claimed weirdass causation along the lines of, X days is the optimum period between first indication of intent in a product and showing an ad for that product, if the user didn't convert immediately. They had run an experiment like you suggest with varying intervals for audiences. But, the way better correlation was with stimulus payouts. That wasn't in their model, because their model only had the inputs they controlled, before and after, and measured delta.

Everyone is selling snake oil because every advertiser is demanding snake oil. It's so fucked up.
If you use such an argument in a real design meeting, you might be asked to leave. Either you have data to support changing the parameters of the assignment, or you keep your silence. Accusing everyone else in virtue signaling is at hominem attack that brings nothing to the table.
No, not really. My only point was that in a vacuum, if I have to see ads, I would prefer to see ads that are relevant to me over seeing ads that are irrelevant to me. I do NOT think that this justifies the invasion of privacy, and I block trackers (and ads in general) whenever possible.
