It's still illegal to steal IP. But no, you can't charge a janitor with keys to the whole building for breaking and entering if he uses those keys to steal something.

You charge him for theft.
I hear this argument all the time. It's always followed by some variation of "and that's why we're not going to address this in a timely manner".
The thing with Python types is that they are “type hints” and not true types, hints is the keyword. There’s also two type checker implementations.

As they are hints it means you can still pass in wrong values in some situations and what types check on one implementation may not type check with the other implementation. So the types are superficial only in Python.

The paper “Python 3 types in the wild” at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26788177 is a good read. I enjoyed reading it and found it useful.

I’m a fan of types as the compiler tells me I made a mistake and blocks me making mistakes. You can use the type system to make certain errors unrepeatable (impossible to make). With that my preference is use a language where types are first class rather than a language trying to retrofit some loose form of type checking on top which is nothing more than linting.

Being a fan of strongly typed languages I was eager to use types in Python when I had to involuntarily use Python. After a few instances of putting in type hints and things type checking when they shouldn’t I mainly don’t bother with them now outside of data classes as they where not catching bugs I wanted so still getting runtime errors.
Sounds like he violated a confidentiality agreement.

If you read something on a private discussion forum and then blast it out publicly on twitter, don't be shocked when you get kicked out of that forum.

It sorta doesn't matter how righteous your cause was, it is just going to be automatic.

I know people that have been fired from the company they work for over a similar kind of offense. If you've signed a confidentiality agreement then you do not have the right of freedom to tweet without repercussions.

Private corporations are not legislatures. If you are an invited guest to my house and I say it's not ok to drink wine out of a shot glass, and instead you must always drink from a wine glass when in my house, and you do it, that's not a felony. If the family album is on the couch and I give it to you and say you can look at it, but don't look at the last two pages which have the pictures of the wife nude and you do that, that's not a felony.

You could, in both cases, theoretically argue that it's a trespass to chattels and get nominal damages, but that's a civil matter.
There was a comment thread on the John Carmack/JPEG post discussing the Internet Archive's use of JPEG 2000 to store archival images of scanned books, could be a tangent stemming from that?

Honestly Tether doesn't really to be that much different compared to fractional reserve banking. The biggest difference is the government protects banks from bank runs while Tether enjoys no such privilege.
Every good lie has a basis of some truth.

Forget about the satanism and cannibalism and Donald Trump as savior* but QAnon might have been right about the global pedo ring of leftist elites.

The interesting thing appears to be Maxwell/Epstein's links to the CIA and that they were running some form of "compromat" service.

The biggest thing is Saxon is a physical book, and it comes along with all the worksheets and tests and problem sets that we can copy and have them work on multiple times if needed. Specifically things like math facts and computations require a lot of practice, and they have these worksheets you do multiple times, timing yourself each time to show progress. Its really good to have that be able to be done physically with a pencil as the physical interaction really helps with retention. Also I greatly prefer the sequencing of Saxon, they do a lot of introduction work with coins and clocks, two things that are easy to get your hands on and that kids relate with well. Explaining fractions with a Quarter being a quarter of a dollar, and being 25 cents gives you a lot of discussion you can have. Then clocks are so useful for fractions ( half past the hour, quarter till ), especially since they are base 60 and not base 10. Also things like place value ( 1 vs 10's vs 100's ) and even angles are all related to real world physical objects the kids can touch.

If it came down to it I think Kahn would give them a wonderful education and everything I have seen is well executed and wraps in a lot of the sequencing that I have seen work with my kids, but I do like Saxon enough to pay for it and use it as the primary source.

The other piece is this thing called Institute for Excellence in Writing (https://iew.com/) it is honestly amazing. My kids know more about writing, and have a better grasp of the english language then I do thanks to that program.
Your original post is a bit unclear. You don’t state if you lied or not pretending to be eligible.

If you did I don’t really feel any moral superiority, we each make our own decisions. That being said you are now one of those Karen’s in your own words.

>That is obviously not at all what I said.

You said, and I quote:

"Normally, of course, we'd downweight this sort of petty drama. "

So I responded with statement that at its' core means that any biased entity would say this to protect their own reputation regardless of whether it's true or not. I'm not saying what you said isn't true, but given your position there is conflict of interest. This is what someone in your position will always say.

>I'm not sure I buy that, given how long you've been around HN and how much of the last 8 years I've spent explaining how HN is moderated.

At most I thought you guys would moderate posts that were off topic and that kind of thing. But as much as this can be classified as "petty drama" it can also be classified as Negative viewpoints and news about Ycombinator. I did not realize you guys would insert your opinion on what things are considered "petty drama" and what things aren't.

Yeah I've been here for a while and I was not aware this type of censorship was done. Sometimes a benevolent dictator is actually benevolent, sometimes not.

Still there's nothing out of the norm here, nothing outrageous. Seems reasonable to say, don't trust news about YC on HN.

It's definitely come a long way. I have a pretty awesome setup for writing c# in emacs with "intellisense" and all that jazz. If I'm starting a new project from scratch I'm much more likely to reach for C# than Java, C or C++, or Python.

It's too bad the ecosystem is so confusingly named. I found it hard to grok how everything fit together when I was learning.
Full fat products are not bad for you.

You got the story right but the details wrong. The food pyramid and medical advice has pushed low fatx high carb and completely ignores the 50x volume increase of omega6s through seed oils.

The industry lied about grains and sugars, largely based on a faulty Ancel Keys study and promoted by a bunch of corporations like Kelloggs, led by 7th Day Adventists, who thought meat created "impure thoughts". It was bad science, financial corruption and religious ignorance all wrapped in one.
There is something with very wealthy people and unproven technology. Numerous experimental nuclear reactor types have been developed, tested, and found lacking. A new reactor type that will fix all of nuclear's problems isn't a novel idea. So why would this reactor to be built by Gates and Buffett be any different? What do they know that the rest of the scientific community has missed? Same thing with Elon Musk and the Hyperloop; what does he know that thousands of people who have tried to improve mass transportation doesn't?

It's their money, of course, but I can't help think that it would be better spent on improving renewable technology. Wind, solar, and hydro are already beating nuclear on a cost-per-watt basis and we are very close to a situation in which a grid based on renewable energy complemented by battery storage is the most cost efficient way to generate electricity.
Rotate keys regularly through a secure channel. At some point these discussions devolve into a variant of "Which ammunition is least likely to kill me when I inevitably shoot myself?"
You are mixing two things. Even if the sites were setup for poor neighborhood, it doesn't necessarily mean they are exclusive for people from those neighborhood.

And also, basic common sense, the sites are run by adults. If the adults over there don't care, why should you care?

Unless you have specific knowledge of people lied to get to use those sites, nobody need your judgement to "exonerate" themselves.

Incorrect. J&J vaccine are designed to be stored at regular refrigerator temperatures. They are different from the mRNA vaccines which expire shortly after thawing. So J&J shelf life is much much longer than Pfizer and Moderna and are good for areas where recipients returning for a 2nd vaccine shot are less likely.

I'm sure its a useful position if you want to supress stories from spreading. Its like the famous Epstein hotmic incident.
> Expect future attacks to focus on unrevoked lost/stolen yubikeys.

If the Yubikey is serving as a FIDO Security Key (rather than in one of its other modes) then this is much trickier than it might look.

Suppose you find my Security Key in the street, or left behind on public transit. It has no idea who it belongs to! All it is capable of doing is proving that it's still the same Security Key as before, which it is. I use that Security Key to sign into Google, Facebook, GitHub, and a dozen more, but the Security Key itself has no memory of any of that, it's a blank slate. The Security Key works perfectly well, maybe you can eBay it, but you can't realistically break into accounts with it.

The alternative is stealing keys to order. But this involves connecting up two very different skill sets, one of which requires physical proximity. That's a tall order for everybody but nation state adversaries. If you're an Indian organised crime syndicate, hacking some IT systems in Texas is likely practical for you via the Internet, but flying a member out to Dallas to try to steal a physical object from the right person is both unduly risky (local cops might be bought off, but the cops in Dallas don't know you from Adam) and surprisingly expensive.

I think your post could have not included:

“Much as I'd love to, it's not my place to say why the original title was inaccurate, so I'll just remind you all that there are two or more sides to every story and not everything on Twitter is true.”

And “Normally, of course, we would downweight this sort of petty drama.” And could have avoided unhelpful conflict in the threads below. You sort of threw your opinion out without expressing it outright.

For what it is worth I have no opinion either way and generally agree this sort of post should be downweighted.

We can set aside my history and focus on the simple point being made: labeling this issue as "petty drama" speaks volumes. It speaks volumes about you and the values you are espousing for this site and community, and reflects poorly upon YCombinator as an establishment in general.

In early March we were at a point in a global pandemic where vaccines were hard to come by in the US and real lives were at risk and changed by receipt of the vaccine.

That it is simply "petty drama" that someone is calling out the community for ejecting him over being repulsed by behavior that seeks to sidestep a good-faith system intent on helping those most at risk first is disgusting.

How's that. Is that substantive? I figured it was between the lines.
Were they doing that in March, when the incident in question happened?

I think there is a large difference between having guidelines and asking people to voluntarily follow them for the sake of expediency, and having a policy of first-come-first-served.

This incident was in March, and what is really sad is that back in March there were places in the US where it really was first-come-first-served. I know many people here in Illinois that got vaccines in Indiana because their official policy was that any open slot was fair game if it was less than 24 hours to go. That policy started in late February or early March.

There is absolutely no reason to be jumping in line, especially if you have the means to travel.
On topic, I had tremendous fun writing the CPU emulation for my maybe 1/3rd done NES emulator (that I likely won't finish, but who knows).

Off topic, I wouldn't do a 6502 as a giant switch, you'll likely miss out on a lot of the shared logic. If you decode the instructions differently, you can easily reuse logic for addressing modes and what not.

That's really not true. Taiwan, for example, has widespread pro-Japanese sentiment. Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam also have warm relations with Japan.

On the other hand, Mainland China and both North and South Korea continue to have a dominant anti-Japanese sentiment.

A cynical observer might suggest that the ability of a nation's public to forgive past grievances correlates closely with how much benefit the government sees in maintaining that hostile sentiment.

Co-Dfns is Aaron Hsu's project, and he has a talk[1] on a compiler implemented in a nano-pass style, once in Racket, once in Chez Scheme[2] and once in Dyalog APL, each using CPU and GPU.

For compiling an AST with ~16 million nodes, he gives benchmark figures that Dyalog APL takes 64MB RAM to hold it, Racket takes 1051MB and Chez Scheme takes 1485MB. His provocative statement for the talk is "pointers are the refined sugar of programming". The APL version is 1/50th of the lines of code[4], runs typically 9x faster on the CPU, 50x-200x faster on the GPU, despite being interpreted by Dyalog vs compiled Scheme. There are benchmarks where the APL version loses in runtime, under 1k lines of code (which he calls "tiny tiny") so lots of startup overhead and not enough big arrays to gain ground on.

He has one talk (available on YouTube) about his approach to using arrays to working with tree structures in a high-performance way in APL[3].

That tweet is just being imprecise, not contradicting me - they can give it to tourists, just tourists who live somewhere in the US. The state did authorize that. The statewide restriction was NY residents only until the city started pushing the state to allow a broader policy. All of my links are from official state or city sources as well, and those reference webpages and official forms get a lot more attention as to the details than a single admittedly official tweet.

In practice, I doubt an international resident would be refused at many of these sites, as they're no longer asking for proof of residency beyond the attestation on that form, and it would probably be an informal or even formal policy not to turn people away who admit they don't fit within the guidelines. But still, that's just a question of tolerance for going outside the eligibility criteria, not a refutation of the existence of the criteria.
