Sorry, I'm not sure I'm following you on that one with regards to the context of the article and my comment.
A great justification my dear goverment uses is that because they don't perform the search directly, (they use third-party private businesses), they aren't violating the law. Of course reasonable people will disagree.

There are a lot of motivations for private businesses to collect as much information as they can, just in case they might be able to use it in the future.

Thursday of last week a solicitor came up to my door. Didn't knock. Leaned their electric scooter against my house, and was "working" on their tablet. I was just getting home and after parking I passed them and mentioned that I wasn't interested in what they were selling. They said "yeah, I saw the No Soliciting sign so I didn't knock, but they are also having us run a scan."

They were completely unaware of how creepy that is and how obtrusive it can be. I played it cool, even though I was irate. They actually showed me the interface and it scanned for wifi and bluetooth devices and recorded ids, etc. My address and photos of my house were on the screen as well. (Public information, I know, but still creepy.)

Apparently there's a market for knowing what brand of wireless computing equipment people have on site. Imagine that. They worked for a company selling home security, smart home devices, and bug extermination service. My my.

It wasn't every house. They had a queue to go through. Apparently I'm a "valuable" target, people. :)
Altcoins That Make You a Billionaire in 2022
I'm always quite scared of salmonella, so I tend to overcook everything with eggs in it, be it pudding or some pasta sauce -- mostly scared for my 3 year old daughter, I've lived on a subsistence farm and used A LOT of raw eggs and never got any issues.

I wish there was a salmonella vaccine for humans and be done with it, because raw-ish eggs can be quite delicious.
Yes. You could (probably should) add a additional password=PBKDF(real_password) if that's a problem (eg because of password reuse), but it's not a essential feature from a cryptographic perspective.
I don't know much about trademark but I know of this company called Apple. Would Apple be blocked from trademarking it's name if it sold actual Apples instead of computers?
I wonder how much of this format the arcade games share. they recently axed the official servers for the arcade machines so they've been making their way to the secondary market more.

Bitcoin is the scarcest asset in the world, protected by the most powerful supercomputers ever built.

Compared to fiat as in USD or INR that have lost nearly all their purchasing power Bitcoin is the greatest store of value ever conceived.

In 1932 $20USD bought 1 oz of Gold. Today it takes $2000USD to buy that same oz of Gold. The strongest fiat currency of the century lost 100x its value in less than 100 years. Total failure to retain purchasing power.

Indians understand that fiat is a failure, Gold was better, and now Bitcoin will make both obsolete as a store of value.

You sir are correct! If they adopt Bitcoin en masse it WILl end well for the Indian people.

There is no explicit call for caramalisation here. As the sibling post points out, that is not what you would normally do for Indian cuisine. I found it a bit amusing that the article leveled the accusation of lazy writing, with a pretty lazy example.

Made all the more amusing since the author is absolutely right and there are many, many good examples available to support their argument.
> in the 21st century programming proficiency on its own is neither representative of the skills that the marketplace requires from computing graduates, nor does it offer the strong vocational qualifications it once did.

Universities are not vocational education facilities though. Time a student has in university is better spent on getting deeper understanding of things that are hard to pick up in the workplace, and that give you a better picture of the industry in the long run

Conversely, Jira-fu, unit testing, peer reviewing etc. is something a junior engineer learns in their first year at work. And burdening open source maintainers with training students in these issues is hardly a good idea. In my (probably unpopular) opinion, it's better to start contributing to open source projects after having some experience with real projects at work, not the other way round. Just because at work one has a supervisor and optionally a buddy/mentor, which open source projects have no opportunity to provide.
That's akin to saying that machine code is not binary but plain text, because Assembler exists.

It is more accurate to say, Unison is an AST language which nowadays happens to have just one human-readable interface, which is text.
They've developed channel power, probably not on the same level as Coke, but something like that.

Once you have your place 'in the system' etc. you have incredible leverage.

The chocolate bars at my convenience store are the same, boring 20 variations for my entire life. They are not 'the best products' - they are just the products that will work through the system. It'd take a decade of consumer awareness to put something on par with 'Coffee Crisp' and then you have to get all of the gears of distribution to go along with it.

So what we end up up with in chocolate - and any number of other goods - is kind of a 'channel equilibrium' where products establish channel dominance (which requires scale), and then inch forward ever so slightly.

To see a 'new' product get to that level ... take a look at 'Swiffer' (cleaner) - basically, that's an institutional effort by P&G to 'disrupt' their own categories a bit and they've spent zillions marketing that. It's a trivial little thing, not much in the way of innovation, but when were talking consumer products at that scale, it never was about 'innovation'.

These companies do buy brands and scale them but even then brands meet their limit. 'Ben and Jerries' they can probably 10-50x in size ... but at that price point they can only go so far with the category. Odwalla ... sadly had to shut down.
I don't think the bulletpoint list of requirements is that relevant anymore; instead, I'd give a live updating password strength indicator and reject anything "weak" or "medium". That way, the user can themselves decide on symbols and letters or length. A check on commonly used passwords should also be included of course.
I do both types depending on projects and customers. Some want detailed specs to be reassured, other are ok with Agile like trust us to do the best.
A reduction is also possible, because currently it's profiting from word of mouth marketing which is increased by the psychological effect of it being a "secret tip that few know".

I don't think marketing budgets will significantly improve sales on saturated markets like sauces. Especially if it's currently an unknown producer.

That's probably going to change once their name is established however.
Here in Germany I can still get it in almost every supermarket. So I don't know if it is the EU blocking imports.

I only hope it would not be some kind of common sentiment "you have to contribute to an open source project to earn better grade or get a job". It will end up as Huawei Linux kernel "contributions" - a lot of pointless commits that are only a pain for project maintainers and bring zero actual value.
That's quite a stretch.

Existence proof for a particular isn't hard to come by. Lots of companies (including google & facebook, ironically) blew up without sales or marketing playing a significant role.

The "modern economy" OTOH, is big. Advertising (either selling or buying) a core piece of the business model of many of the largest companies. Everything that touches them touches advertising and everything that touches them is a massive part of the economy.

This might suggest that advertising needn't be essential, not that it isn't. Wikipedia & Linux might suggest that IP and shareholders needn't be necessary to the modern economy. But IP and shareholders certainly are, currently, necessary to the way it works.
Valuable Lessons I Learned as a Developer
Yes, although their MyQ cloud platform unfortunately has a very transient reverse-engineered API due to the lack of an official option, AFAIK. This seems to be a regular issue for users that set up an integration between MyQ and a unified platform such as Home Assistant.
>Where special behavior is needed for routes of different kinds, that behavior can be implemented by using dynamic dispatch in the sense it's usually used.

How? A routing function is precisely a M:N mapping with untyped input.

It's just some data somebody sent you! Route it.

Unless you can infer more about the meaning of those bits the only strategies possible are static(M), round-robin(M) or random(M).
Screeching corner rails are solved by an automated rail greasing system. All train systems have these. If the rails are screeching, open a ticket with the local city system and have them fix the rail greasing system. Muni here was shut down for a long time and they forgot to turn back on the rail greasers and it sounded awful for a day before they were turned on/refilled.

Usually double-quotes is just pointing out it's as the other person said, not calling it into question which is usually single-quotes.
In theory, perhaps. But in practice, that's too simple: What, for example about certificate pinning? If you have a safe certificate on the client, spoofing becomes (prohibitively) hard.

Try, for example, to disassemble Facebook's APK or disable pinning via FRIDA (https://github.com/frida/frida). It's not exactly easy, and with frequent releases, it's a moving target.
I first heard about Sriracha years ago through Matthew Inman, a.k.a. The Oatmeal. Then Exploding Kittens happened and while (to my knowledge) it doesn't feature the condiment, I'm sure many people checked out the rest of the artist's work.

Now that Sriracha made its way to Poland I finally managed to get a taste.

It's spicy enough to not be offensive to the average consumer, but I think The Oatmeal oversold it on its palate-burning capabilities.
I would say that the fact that firewire is a bus is part of the reason why it fell out of favor. It was designed in a time when packet switching was though to be expensive and to cause unacceptable latencies for A/V applications. Just few years after firewire was designed both of these issues were found out to not be as relevant as they at a time seemed. In todays world the firewire's “logical bus from spanning tree” design seems like overly complex waste of bandwidth.
Soon, I'm sure it will be illegal to use the various ad blocking, tracking blocking, header alteration, mac address changing, tunnel shifting, and other technologies I both deploy and use. I'm confident that this will happen within my lifetime, which is chilling at best.

It's reasons like this that I've started to eliminate what little online footprint my meat-person has now, while I can. At issue is the fact that I cannot delete my HN profile, nor go back and delete posts. I find that troublesome.
yep, those are over here too, and they're all underwhelming. I don't think I've actively purchased any, but somehow I've sampled many of them. Maybe at restaurants that cut corners, maybe at friends houses. All were subpar in my tastes.
>I'm pretty sure that is because of DRM, right?

It is yes. Doesn't matter for the average user though - it either works or it is broken.

Technical users might give it a pass on freedom & principles grounding, but not average users.
Students approach the course and its assignment with trepidation and complete it with jubilation. Ensuring students can make meaningful contributions to an open source project requires balancing their inexperience with the fast-paced sophistication of modern, open source software development.
Thanks for sharing man.
You conveniently left out all of the deforestation across the world that is done to create grazing land for the cattle. This not only devistates the environment but also removes the trees that suck up the CO2 and spit out oxygen. Sure this is not limited to beef and does happen with other crops but not at the rate used by the beef industry.

You also conveniently left out all of the transporting and industry that goes along with the beef / meat industry in general.

If you're going to do a comparison at least compare it properly.
Could you be a tiny bit more specific about what software you're referring to? A link or two would help.
From the article, and up to your point. On the expected learnings there is:

...

> Choosing realistic contribution goals. (Initially students tend to wildly overestimate their ability to contribute to a project.) This is a key activity in agile development sprints;

...

also

> Try to contribute a trivial fix as a warm-up exercise and as a way to test your ability to follow the project's workflows.
I wasn't quoting the US 4th amendment to say it's illegal. Rather to refute the argument "you have nothing to hide" -- the US government was founded with the ideal that it's simply not true. People are entitled to privacy. Simply hand-waving it away requires proof, not the other way.
I feel the same way. This limitation might have made sense in times of teletype, limited variable names and small displays, but that was decades ago! We have powerful IDEs that automatically finish every identifier we write, huge, high-resolution displays and exhaustive online documentation available at all times.
I don't see any reason to continue writing code like that: In the comments of every single coding style article posted on HN, people are quick to throw stuff like "code is written once, but read many times" around. Why wouldn't this apply to C or Linux kernel code?
I 100% agree with you that the regulators have the legal advantage here but I am less convinced of the public benefit. The popularity of Binance must indicate some demand for the product.
> Would Apple be blocked from trademarking it's name if it sold actual Apples instead of computers?

Yes. In the US, if Apple sold apples, its name would be classified as descriptive and they would not have any exclusive right to that mark when selling apples. Other companies could also label their apples with "apple" and Apple could not stop them.
The CACM Viewpoint proposal doesn't mean that students have to work on the kind of open source projects that businesses will assign developer labour to. The open source projects can be chosen to complement the educational aims of the course.
A remote office has a LARGE wall TV relaying images and sound from another remote office. Set the volume so that normal tech talk is just at the threshold of hearing.
Also the thread mentioned they've protected the squeeze bottle with green cap design which I think only applies to the US. For instance in Europe most Asia stores stock 'goose brand' sriracha which apart from the animal look almost identical[1]. Got burned by that myself a while ago when the whole sriracha craze started online and I mistakenly bought a bottle of the goose brand stuff.

This is a nice list, but it misses one of the most important features in my opinion: Allow users to paste username/password. This seems like such an obvious thing, and it's also the default behavior. But for some inexplicable reason, some product managers seem to be under the assumption that disallowing pasting of passwords enhances security. This is obviously false, and will just lead to your users choosing worse passwords.

> The more rational take is that the FCA is acting to protect UK citizens from potentially dangerous financial products from an unauthorized organisation.

The keyword in your statement is 'unauthorised'.

The FCA rarely acts to protect UK citizens from potentially dangerous financial products from authorised regulations. The last time I'm aware of, to ensure that retail gamblers cannot lose more than they stake in highly leveraged bets, was pushed through by ESMA, not the FCA.

EDIT: added the post I was responding to, to add context.
"Read this before getting started." I enjoyed the jab at Pooh.

I'm also looking forward to digging into this. It looks really neat and I have been interested in baremetal programming recently. Hopefully this coming weekend will be free enough to indulge!
I wish they used a more hygienic bottle, the thing always leaks its disgusting.
Tangent: here's what I find fascinating: when we evaluate which algorithm or data structure is best to handle a given situation, we know how to reason about algorithmic complexity and pick a best option for our situation.

But then when it comes to ideas like this we just tend to say "we're trading one set of problems or another", as if we can't evaluate the problems in a similar manner. And I'm not picking on you here, I tend to do the same!

Yes, we're trading one set of problems for another, but what if the old set of problems was "O(n²)" and the new set of problems is "O(nlog(n))"? Or maybe it's the other way around. Why isn't it obviour how to apply those earlier skills here?

> This sort of reality only becomes true if we all use cryptographic measures all the time perhaps.

Not necessarily, I can imagine a post-privacy scenario were absolute transparency turns private information commercially worthless by making it a good readily and freely accessible to everybody.

I admit it would be a rather radical paradigm change and difficult to actually implement but actually fits perfectly fine with the mindset of "information should be free".

Imho our current problem is not all the information that's collected, it's how said information is monopolized to the purely commercial benefits of only a select few.

Microsoft does ask. And it can easily adjust pricing up and then give you a discount for telemetry. But you won’t end up with more money as a result. So what did we achieve?
- No phone at the table. Either come with your full attention or don't come at all

- Know your character and be ready to answer the question "what would your character do" at all times.

- DM has final say

- Don't Work Against the Group

- Everyone should be having fun. If your story is going to include topics like slavery, violence against children, etc, the DM has a responsibility of asking one on one beforehand if people are cool with it. Otherwise drop it and never mention who said no. Players have the right to say "I want to move on" at any point and the narrative moves on.

- If you ruin the fun of other people we're going to kick you.
In the UK there are many "contract for difference" exchanges, basically bucketshops. These products are outright unlawful in the US or at least are unlawful in retail-accessible forms.

My understanding is that this action is only about CFD products on binance, not normal buying/selling Bitcoin.

I find it weird that the UK allows so much access to these scam products in general, but I suppose it fits in with the general accessibility of gambling.
As a billionaire I am not sure he really needs to pump bitcoin to make a return. If you watch the interview with him he makes his case for holding bitcoin and it is a reasonable one. He says when he started his career the Mexican peso was 20:1 to the US dollar, now it is 20,000:1.

Many in developed countries don't understand the challenges of a devaluing currency with unlimited supply or the difficulty of being unbanked.
> Yeah, I know. But when we say Champagne, we clearly mean sparking wine of a certain style -- not the location.

Actually yes, when we talk about Champagne we DO talk of the location too, because the land has a specific soil which impacts the final taste. Even in France we have tons of different sparkling white wines which are not champagne, no big deal. But champagne is champagne, not any sparkling wine.
We're already creeping in that direction. Everyone wants some work for free, or at a discount rate and enough people are willing to offer that in hopes of rapid advancement, so we'll keep ratcheting the value of our skills to the bottom, starting with passion projects and moving to desperate make-work hustle. Not even mad about it, it's the way of things.
Yes, but so does no support at all at Google. We can, by now, for go the nonsense that it is a free service: they make money selling our data so we pay. And yet, no support. And there are more examples of huge companies not giving any or adequate support. Here in the EU Revolut is known for support horror shows too.

But yes, support via reddit is weird, I agree to that.
> I grew up in the LA metro area

I moved to LA from Seattle in 2001, and Sriracha was everywhere and in every manner of restaurant. No one I knew from the Pacific Northwest seemed to have heard of it, but twenty years later they certainly have.

> it's manufactured there

It is, and the factory was even forced to close for a little bit in 2014 due to "air quality" concerns. Was a real hoot to watch everyone scramble to buy a few bottles in case they didn't re-open quickly.
Indeed. That money doesn't go to Microsoft though, but to AMD or Intel.
Thankfully, I regained my sanity before going that far. The "a second CPU started" example at: https://github.com/cirosantilli/x86-bare-metal-examples/tree... though. I think some of the projects under https://github.com/cirosantilli/x86-bare-metal-examples/tree... did it though.
"Pizza is a dish with limited lifetime. It wouldn't be practible to link it to a location."

And yet it has been so linked; there is a PDO designation for Pizza Napoli.
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:...

You can make these pizzas anywhere you like; but you have to use proper mozzarella, and rather special tomatoes. I have not found a way of making a good Pizza Napoletana using tomatoes that are not San Marzano. I'm sure it's possible to make decent mozzarella outside of Italy; but nobody seems to be doing it - Danish mozzarella is a nasty, rubbery fake.

We (consumers) need proper labelling, backed by law. Without that, you get a slide to the bottom. Labelling for origin is part of that.

Hey, if you don't care about the geographical origin, ignore the label and buy Danish mozzarella, or generic tinned tomatoes. It's cheaper. But if you do care, and accurate labelling isn't enforced by law, then you are deprived of choice. Without choice, there's no efficient market.
I think a better description would be how Hacktoberfest turned out, with lots of inexperienced people spamming simple PRs to lots of projects.
