Days, are intervals, not points in time. Traditionally a day is the time from sunup to sundown, in modern contexts it usually goes from midnight to midnight.

This is the question about timestamps, are the points in time, or are they second long intervals. I think the logical reading is the first.

This opens up the question of "what the hell is the word inclusive doing there", I think the answer is it is being used to say "if you don't know whether you're inside or outside the interval, you are inside". If your clock runs on a 2 second interval, and you know it's somewhere between 9:59:59 and 10:00:01, when the certificate expires as 10:00:00, you take the inclusive definition and say "still valid" because otherwise you might be rejecting a valid certificate.

It is perhaps also being used to say that "both ends of the interval aren't open". If I have on certificate that expires at 10am, and another that becomes valid at 10am, then there is no gap between there validity.
This is a fully general refutation of ANY system, because
rich people game every system, including and especially the current one. Why should the current one be favored?

The trick is to find a system that, despite attempts to game it, has an incentive structure that isn't already explicitly tilted in favor of the rich. Geoism is one such system.
WebAuthn explicitly tells Relying Parties (ie web sites) to all do this. All the services I use which offer WebAuthn or its predecessor U2F support multiple named hardware tokens and I enroll at least my Yubico branded device and one more at such sites. For those I use from a phone, the phone itself is enrolled.

AWS is the counter-example which will be (indeed already has been in this HN comment tree) cited as proof sites don't all do this, I've tried asking if there are literally any others, and never received any ideas. I don't currently have an employer and I don't use AWS for personal projects.

It's pretty common for sites that actually care about authenticating you (so, Google but not your Bank, GitHub but not your mortgage lender) to provide you with single use bypass codes which they tell you to write down and keep somewhere safe.
Isn't GMT a time zone (mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich) that can differ from UTC up to 0.9 seconds?

So since the RFC specifies GMT it is already up to 0.9 seconds wrong?
Having it as a work language just means that they’ll pout if whatever document they’re sent isn’t in French for the 6 months they are in charge - nothing more.

No big deal.
The aristocrats in Russia back then probably spoke French as well as or better than Russian if Tolstoy books are to be believed.
I wonder if you could build some sort of deliberate reflector into a microphone housing to generate comb filtering that an analytic technique (or ML) could derive spatial data from. I know in the limit this is possible, since there's dummies used for binaural recording or testing earbuds, but could an intentionally designed mechanism accomplish the same thing in a smaller package?

It'd be neat if you could then encode the spatial information and use an HRTF on the destination receiver to appropriately place the sound in the listener's soundstage.

Well, the European PSD2 has forbidden the use of SMS TANs last year for banking applications while requiring much more stringent 2FA use (for account balances more than 30 days in the past for instance).

Why are they worried? English isn't English anymore. In fact it makes sense to chose a language that isn't the native language of any EU nation. (I'm squinting regarding Ireland).
He only helped the poor if the MLM-Ponzi scheme doesn't collapse and the poor aren't left holding the bag - which requires the remainder of society to be stupid enough to be the latest adopters, holding the bag, and then giving up a substantial amount of their buying power - in part because they're now competing with the extra money earlier adopters have because of the wealth transfer. Otherwise the poor then have transferred their actual money to earlier adopters who sold them the Bitcoin at an ungrounded-artificial price - which they're not going to get back and their Bitcoin then is arguably worthless, which it becomes when no one's willing to put more money in - or once there's a bank run and there aren't billions of USD in reserve from large institutions to try to counter a crash of future bank runs.

Also, the person, let's say they bought Bitcoin at $100 - and they gave it to them at $20,000 - then what they gave is 5% of that amount - and the full amount is actually realized/then paid for/"donated" by others; sure they potentially gave up 90% of the Bitcoin if they could have even realized a significant amount of that without influencing the price too much.
Miners will get an exponentially decreasing amount of block rewards until 2140, but even 20 years from now the (BTC-denominated) size of the block rewards will be substantially lower than they are today.

The price matters because they are BTC-denominated. If the price of Bitcoin doubles every 4 years, the security of the system can stay at parity with what it is today (assuming the real value of transaction fees stays roughly the same).
They licensed the browser for devices like set-top boxes and similar devices. There was also money coming from Google (for using it as a default search engine).
I guess they had also some business model built around Opera Mini and relations with mobile providers.
Seems like that would leave farmers left holding the bag for California's decades of mismanagement. If you subsidize the farmers then this system would work, but I suspect there are simpler ways to achieve the same ends. Notably, I don't think there will be enough people willing to pay the premium for California lettuce to make up for loss of volume, and I can't imagine California farmers packing up and moving across the country (it's particularly cruel to require them to uproot from their families, communities, etc). Seems like it would be better to pay them to farm a crop that is less water intensive or something.
That you for the clarification and the letsencrypt service.
English is the dominant language of Ireland, Malta (and Scotland and Wales) but as each has a "national" language and English had already been selected by the UK, Ireland nominated Irish and Malta Maltese as an official EU language.

So at the moment there is no country that has claimed English as its official language for EU purposes, thus it's legally OK to ignore anything official from or within the EU that is in English.

Malta has the population of Oakland, but most of the people there apparently speak Maltese. Ireland has about half the population of the Bay Area but only about 40% of them claim to have some facility in Irish. In both countries it appears English is universally understood and spoken. (all this info from Wikipedia FWIW).

I think it would be smart for the EU to nominate an English (of some sort) as the supranational language as it would elevate no member state over another. This same approach has worked pretty well for India, where the use of that language has a far more fraught history. But Malta or Ireland could simply take one for the team and switch their nominated language.
This is the same argument Facebook made for giving free internet to facebook.com but charging for every other website

There are hidden costs to economically disrupting developing economies even if it's "for the poor people". For facebook, it was decimating any local ISP growth by snatching their market. For this, there could be any other number of normal payment systems that are squashed even as this BTC patron moves on to pumping bitcoin elsewhere.

Primary residence clauses must never apply to corporations
It will reduce property prices, ceteris paribus. The only ambiguity is if the extent is such that it fully offsets the opposite impact of higher upkeep cost from the perspective of a poor person. I don't know the answer to that question, do you?

Another factor: it'll encourage apartment construction, which will increase housing supply, which should help poor people.

> You can as well as me google ...

I think the burden to support your claims is on you. Readers can't check the evidence for every comment. It's more efficient too - you already know your argument and what you've seen, and you do it once rather than every reader duplicating effort.

Sorry, but with no evidence it's not meaningful to me - there is so much dis- and mis-information on the Internet that I think people are insane to trust it. Note that I did spend the time to ask you, because you seem to have thought it through. Nothing personal.

> I never claimed I had to know what she felt.

You did make claims about the project's motivations and about hers as a teacher (and maybe more - I don't remember).

> Deconstructing her words and going down the endless rabbit hole of claiming a “it quacks like a duck and walks like duck, it has ducklings, although it’s not necessarily a duck” then that might work on someone else, but not on me.

Maybe assume some good faith; nobody is trying to make something work on you. For the reasons I said above, I simply can't trust what I read on the Internet; I need evidence. Trusting people's claims on the Internet is a cliche for foolishness these days, and we know it does incredible harm in our world. I know you don't want to write a dissertation on HN, but maybe link to someone with credibility who already has.

The Impermanence of Modes
Japan not so much scrapped various regulations as their regulations are just different - and nationwide.

One of the effects of how their zoning classes work is that you don't have "residential-only" zones with no shops or other amenities - instead you have zones defined along the lines of maximum nuisance and with overlapping uses. You have a total of 12 zones, which start from "exclusively low rise residential" that are essentially low density houses that can be also small shops or offices + schools, to exclusively industrial zones that prevent residential or other construction - but it's a spectrum between them.

> FFF #176 - Belts optimization

The last bit of this post mentions UDP packets not making it through ISPs if their checksum is 0x0000 or 0xFFFF...what is THAT all about? This would have been in February of 2017.

> If you remember from the previous FFF, our map downloader was having some extremely rare problems with some mysterious packets that would always get filtered over the Internet. We already had a fix for it, but I was curious what was going on. Thanks to the investigative power of the Factorio community, we found out that all those mysterious packets, before NAT, had a checksum of 0xFFFF. Admalledd from the forum sent some hand-crafted packets through his Internet connection and surprise, all packets would go through, except those with a checksum of 0xFFFF or 0x0000. At this point I would just assume this ISP(and some other few ISPs around the world) have some faulty hardware or software that do not handle these special cases of UDP checksums.

Prior to that, in 2012, DARPA’s Autonomous High-Altitude Refueling program demonstrated fully autonomous aerial refueling of unmanned air vehicles at high altitude. This culminated with two modified RQ-4 Global Hawkdrones flying in close formation to test probe-and-drogue contacts, as seen in this video:

There’s Belgium and Luxembourg, but sure…
They are not forcing you, it's that the 1% have savings and want that savings to make money so it's invested. Portions of that investment go into banks who loan out money to the middle class.

The middle class uses this money to buy cars/houses which helps the 1% to increasing their savings, which they then invest a portion of into banks...

BUT like another comment discussed, a lot of this is going over seas. Right now this cycle is pushing US asset values higher, but at some point this will come crashing down, and the money that was invested in under inflated markets will be valued correctly/over valued.

At which point that money will flow back into the US.
Monero and other crypto folks seem to rush in whenever Bitcoin is being attacked for something. I find it fascinating.
Memory is associative. I know this because someone told me a long time ago and then I've seen many studies which has shown that. I am sure some confirmation bias was at play. I specifically recall two types of studies. First one is that giving a hint of any specific part of memory aids in recalling of a whole memory. People have used this to construct memorization techniques, such as memory palace. Second one is that memory created during an emotional state is easier to remember when emotional state is recreated.

Additionally I have not seen any studies which disprove memory associativity claim, although I am sure there are some and I just have not looked hard enough.

You are 100% correct. If they don't steps to collect, then they have abandoned their stuff. And people don't have a right to store stuff in your house.

My take is whoever is responsible for the companies assets doesn't want to deal with low value returned equipment.

Wouldn’t the effect of hoarding wealth be anti inflationary? If it’s not being spent then it might as well not exist in which case it’s as if all of the money was confiscated and deleted by the government anyways?
> You’re saying that old people should be driven out of their houses because younger, richer people deserve to live in their houses.

Believing that tax bills should be equal doesn't imply that; one can believe in equal taxation of same-value property and not think that property tax should ever force people out of property they own. Deferrable-by-default property tax (either entirely or increases above base year) are better than assessment increase limits at avoiding people being forced out, but do less to transfer wealth up the to already-wealthy elites.
Claims about covid and the election can't be (realistically) falsified by an individual either. You're just disagreeing on whether you should trust a study author / politician more than a priest.
Not related to this issue but I think that the expiration of LetsEncrypt's old root certificate "DST Root CA X3" on 21 Sep 2021 may cause quite a few problems. Old embedded systems may not have a way to update their trust anchors (like browsers do). Obviously not LetsEncrypt's fault but worth being aware of.
Switzerland and Monaco aren’t in the EU
> decide not to support Intel devices

They're only not supporting new features which have specific requirements of the device — the features it had when you bought it are still supported. The listed hardware support goes back to 2015 and historically they've continued shipping security and stability updates for the previous OS release, so whichever of those old devices are still running won't leave security support until the release of whatever comes _after_ Monterrey (presumably in the fall of 2022) when Big Sur falls out of support.
What fraction of the US$500M do you think those benefits to the US might add up to?
The developer used a Variance to change zoning rules.

Many Bay Area (I only know this market)counties will happily acccept the fee (upwards of $1000), and 99.99% of the time the Variance is not granted. I truly believe counties count on the fees for revenue.

I 've noticed a slight lightening up though.

Gavin Newsome made it much easier to build certain structures. He made in-law units (ADU) easier to build.

What happened is wealthy people took advantage of the laws, and added extra feet to their already huge house. These ADU will not be rented out to low income, or even strangers. The wealthy found a loophole, and used it to remodel their homes. Oh yea, their is still a lot of kissing town officials ass in order to build anything.

Neusome also mandated new apartments, and reasonably hosing, to be built. It is a great move. He slashed a lot of red tape. It's still a pain though. You will have town officials arguing over siding, window placement, gardens, exactly whom will be living in the ADU.

NIMBY's are alive and well in my county. Just about everytime we want to build a homeless shelter; homeowners scream, and officials listen. (Towns are panicking now over homeless. The homeless camps are getting bigger, and Thurston Howell III does not like looking at them. The Supreme court gave the homeless some rights though. Cops can't just harass them to move quite as easily as they did in the past.)

I have watched towns/counties harass homeowners who want to build since the 80's. (I was going to buy a cabin, and I knew the foundation would need to be replaced. Half the cabin was sitting on a redwood stump. I just wanted to put a foundation in, and it wasen't possible due to zoning.)

I don't like our building system. They make the process rediculiously expensive, and complicated (remember you, tge architect, the contractor, will be going to many meetings with town offivials begging to remodel, or build. They love saying no.

It's become a disensentive for middle class homeowners to remodel.

I currently have one fear over new residential building. It's water in the Bay Area. This drought does not feel temporary.

I woukd like to see apartment complexes build adjacent to 101, but the water shortage needs to be addressed.

At this point, I only trust care about very low income, and the homeless. I have never seen so many people without a roof over their heads.
Many NIMBYs aren't purely financially driven. What they want is for their neighborhood to stay exactly as it was when they moved in, with the same type of people, and same amount of traffic.

Bay Area has plenty of this type. Many of them already have had property value skyrocket (50K -> 2M is not uncommon), so they can just have both (high property values, and preserve their neighborhood exactly as they want it).

I will admit that I don't know the reality on the ground as an outsider. However, it seems to me just as likely that this is a political struggle between the new government and their opponents.

As for the EU and the UN, these are the same orgs that supported the US/Canada/French/German/Italian 2011 War of aggression against the Libyan government, with the backing and support of the UN. Ostensibly it was in the name of taking down a dictator, but we now know it was for his crime of daring to try to build a pan-African currency (the gold-backed Dinar) that was not subject to the central banks.

I hear you claim that credible first world organizations (the United Nations!) condemned the action. (Please share those articles so I can review sources). However, given the track record of western colonial powers oppressing smaller and weaker governments, or invading them based on false pretexts, I find your unsourced claims to be dubious at best (Where are those WMDs in Iraq that the US and the EU claimed existed?)
I think you are kidding yourself. Throughout history, cleptocracy has been the norm. Uprisings, especially successful ones, have been the exception.

The "you have nothing to lose but your chains"-argument just doesn't work on people who have more than enough junk to fill their stomachs (and brains) with.
Mandarin would open the EU to the largest number of speakers. Spanish would be a good second, if English is politically untenable, but of course it's already an official EU language so choosing it might annoy the other states.

Romansh is an European language not used in the EU; choosing it would level the playing field (and would not be so politically complex as another such like Basque).
A loan in a fractional reserve system is inflationary because it increases the money supply.
I think I'd disagree here. This article is not about scrum but about trust. Here's a quote from the article:

>As head of sales and marketing, Suresh didn’t need his CEO to buy into the process or give his permission to start the discovery process. He was in charge.

Suresh is a VP of marketing. It's his job to develop a plan, get buy-in, and execute on it. If the CEO is standing in the way, then all this boils down to is that the CEO is micromanaging his VPs. No process can solve for that.
This is too funny to take seriously.
Chances are it doesn't, but the IRS won't go after rich people if they claim they don't have any taxes to pay.
> No matter which way you look at it, a net positive rather than a negative.

You just listed the positives, without any the negatives, and without any sign of actually weighing one against the other.

I don't know if Amazon is a net social positive, but it certainly isn't obvious and the answer coudl very well be no despite the positives.

ps. I helped create Amazon.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), English is practically the native tongue of Ireland now (and has been since the 18th century, to be honest).
> Mortgage amounts correlate to home prices.

This is completely true. Another example, in NL, the gov removed “transfer tax” on first-home purchases in 2021. This led to an increase in housing prices, as the “savings” just helped people bid higher on houses.

The world and its economy are absurd.
