The Intelligence community wouldn't ever rely on something like strapping body cameras on to people to ensure they're not leaking information. There's a lot of processes involved to prevent untrustworthy people from ever entering inside a SCIF like your clearance (which is a long and expensive process), then specific onboarding for the sensitive area you're going to be entering, then restricted access to information pertinent to whatever your shop's mission is and also just simply restricting access to sensitive information to the confines of the SCIF. No cell phones. No thumb drives. No laptops. Extremely restricted means of moving sensitive data between locations.

If Apple has information they consider to be highly sensitive, they actually should take "CIA style measures" and not this nonsense.
There are security and latency issues that make distributed over multiple cores != multiple processors != multiple computers.

Each step adds more complexity.

It didn’t “affect” node, it was the whole reason it came to exist: its cooperative multitasking was a good way to tackle concurrency (remember c10k), and V8 was available and easily embeddable. Without the event loop there would have been no reason to choose JS.
I'm curious, but what does "can't pay" mean? Does it mean the drug cost 100%+ of your income? 10% of your income?
The article pretty strongly suggests that YouTube is discriminating against RWW due to partisan bias.

Given YouTube's record of banning right-wing content, non-partisan content that doesn't adhere to some official narrative (Bret Weinstein's Ivermectin videos, Covid-19 lab leak theories, mRNA vaccine heart inflammation), incredibly inconsistent copyright infringement enforcement, and random demonetization, this claim seems to be a bit of a stretch.

If anything, YT appears to be biased the other way.
The javascript equivalent would be an expression like 'use strict';
In theory you wouldn't have many "local variables" if you followed functional practices.

Re: "you just have the assurance that the values of any local state are purely dependent on the inputs to the function and not any other external state."

I don't see that principle helping much in practice.
The problem is that trying to talk to Google, or even have a meaningful dialogue is like trying to talk to a stone wall. You can talk but no one is there to listen. I doubt even there is anyone from Google here on HN who can do anything about this.
I'm not sure I agree. Although it is true that comment politeness appears to improve behind a paywall, I also find that the diversity of opinion decreases, which tends to make the comments less interesting to read in the first place.
If me and my mate incorporate, does someone come along and implant an authoritarisation chip in me or something.
> You still can, and do, model state in stateless systems;

Yea, in functional programming it's easier to focus on the essential state inherent to the problem, and avoid introducing accidental state.

> Relatedly, "Immutability is not enough", from a couple days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27642263

Okay, interesting article, but I don't agree with this bit:

> It turns out that our purely functional rendering code is sensitive to ordering in non-obvious ways. The first time I encountered this kind of bug, it felt strangely familiar – it’s something that often occurs in imperative programs. This is exactly the kind of problem that functional programming was supposed to help us avoid!

I don't think functional programming is supposed to help you with if you misunderstand the essential logic of the problem. I'd argue that declarative languages (like Prolog and SQL) can help avoid this type of ordering bug though by making variable assignment explicit.
Just wanted to add I agree with nearly everything you said save desktops.

>Who needs a big machine with a monitor when you can do just about everything on a Chromebook or iPad

You did say we didn't need laptops or monitors.

People having been able to do without full fledged desktops doesn't imply the format is either dead or without merit.

It remains the best tool for the job for many many tasks especially if you have a merely average amount of funds or need above average performance.

Wrong. Unlike bank deposits or treasury notes, stable coins have interest yields to outweigh inflation.
saved reddit for me: https://teddit.net/
I've never heard of this website before, but perusing some of their other articles does not inspire much confidence in the quality of their journalism.
Yeah unless it's a business, even then, you're pushed to sign up for an account to message the business. As a business, I would be weighing my options here as your Facebook page is often one of the first to show in the results. Not long until Facebook starts advertising other businesses over your business page.
Good questions!

I think policy at a particular level of government should be devoted to the domain that it controls.

So at the local government level, I advocate for the most influential policy, based on the numbers of what's being emitted there. In my small coastal community, replacing natural gas with heat pumps has a huuuuge impact on emissions. In most of the SF Bay, land use and allowing housing near jobs is by far the most impactful change.

If we are setting policy globally, sure, focus on global numbers, but we don't really set policy globally. Individual governments make broad promises for reductions, but it would be a mistake for a government to base their actions on global numbers rather than their own numbers.

I don't think that decarbonization is solvable through personal actions, but when I'm looking to change my personal impact, I look at what my actions are doing, not what the average person's actions are doing.
Reddit's usefulness has waned dramatically and continues to do so.
People publish Apple leaks for one reason: they attract an audience. As an example, I give this post which is currently sitting at #1 on HN.

There are some answers but you’d probably get downvoted in places like this for even suggesting them.
"Wow, fuck you. I just wanted to look at cats."

"Well, fuck you, too. We're here to sell ads."

It's not about dark patterns, that's just a second-order effect. It was never about dark patterns.

This is the implied agreement. You understand it, or you don't. And if you don't, I guess you haven't been on the web in the past decade or something.

What? You thought it was fair that a company spends millions in technical infrastructure and staffing so you can sit at home and spend your time looking at cats for free? No, they have your attention and they're going to connect you to organizations who will pay for it.
> The food snobs don't have an artisan brand they like better; Heinz is as good as it gets.

I'm not convinced that's the case. I mean, yeah, I buy Heinz to go with fries or on my beyond burger, but for a brief time I made my own ketchup using a very simple recipe I found on a youtube channel but substituting my own spice blend and it was amazing. In the end though my palette is not very picky and my inherent laziness won out.

So since I know ketchup can be better than Heinz, I have to expect that there is in fact a fancy branded ketchup out there that is.
That sounds horrendous imho, how would it be administered and what privacy concerns would there be.
>we might still have enough addresses left.

For how long?
That may very well be the case. Companies tend to put all sorts of things into contracts that courts would never enforce. It pays because people believe the contract is valid and abide by it.
I never got far enough in chemistry to really figure out if it has explanatory or predictive power.

If you ask a CS grad "What will happen if you run this program?" they should be able to predict it. If they've gone through nand2tetris they can explain it all the way -- compiler, OS, machine language, ALU / registers / bus, logic gates.

If you ask a chemistry grad "What happens when you apply heat to this molecule?" can they predict it? Can you explain it all the way -- from molecules to atoms to electrons to quantum fields?

If we can't predict "Okay this is what will happen if I mix these two substances together," how do we have a good scientific theory? I guess chemistry says we always end up with the same atoms we started with (unless you start to go nuclear by using energetic particles to modify the nucleus), but can we predict which of the zillions of possible rearrangements will actually happen? We know by experiment that H2SO4 is an acid, and that H2SO4 is a "legal" molecule in a way that HSO3 or H5S7O9 are not. Is there a way to figure this out from first principles? Can you figure out by inspecting the chemical formula that H2SO4 will be an acid if you didn't already know that ahead of time? Can you figure out that H2SO4 will be a "legal" molecule but H5S7O9 will not? Can you look at a reaction and tell whether it will "compile" and what it does, the same way you can look at a program and figure out if it will compile and what it does? If you can't, why not?

And what use is a theory of chemistry that can't make concrete predictions? If you just have a list of known substances and reactions, is that even a theory, or is it just experimental data?
> The aim is to create a world where central platforms are not dominant

Centralization has been greatly enabled by it being legal to hoover up all kinds of user data and monetize it by selling ads or using it for ML training. Huge moats, unassailable by anyone trying to charge money directly and discouraging interest and participation even in free, volunteer efforts (since the commercial ones are already no-charge...) while encouraging players to jealously keep their users captive, avoiding open protocols and certainly not developing new ones (notice how application-level network protocol development and support started to dry up fast as FB and Google's money-printing machines really started to get going?).

I'd say the shortest path to fixing the Internet is making that illegal, especially since that activity is also horrible and dangerous for other reasons. Ideally, the same law would hamstring the credit reporting agencies and also keep banks and other financial institutions from using/selling your data.
The top 10 stablecoins together have a total market cap of around $100 billion. Of that, $62 billion is tether, and the next largest is USDC at $26 billion, then BUSD at $10 billion.

It is interesting that these exploits still happen.
Thank you for this. It is much easier for me to imagine that a relatively small expert team, well funded for the task (which is still virtually zero money in comparison to the cost of changing the world economy) could accomplish some feat of geoengineering which, would buy us time. I find this easiest to imagine. In fact, I see this as somewhat likely.

wtf is gimmicky about a pen for a tablet?
You are a prime example of WHY that lie is bad. The discussion they are trying to drag you into is an important one, and well worth having. However, by starting out with a lie, they are driving you away before they can even start the conversation with you about it. A conversation where you might agree with them.
Well, everyone's going to hate the answer, but we'll be having to both incentivize decarbonization, and pressure countries to stop pumping and selling oil and gas. And that's meant in the extreme way, at some point we will have to go to war with these countries.
Maybe that should be the Yanker pattern, since there are certainly many more scummy behaviours that merit the Fuck You label.
My guess is because it’s harder to block ads through the app than it is in the browser-based version (at least in iOS). Whatever the actual reason is, the asshole design (which ironically they have an entire subreddit for) actually discourages me from using Reddit, so I’ve been using it a lot less in the past couple of years.
Getting charged money, unless you have some audible ping or something, won't be noticed, so you don't have the immediacy of the enforcement.

Great point on the danger of being shocked while driving, though.
Basically, a giant blade server is what a server rack optimized for automated server install and replacement would look like. Something like a cross between a vertical warehouse robot and a tape jukebox is what would service it.

Of course, at that point it you’re adding a bunch of cost and may be better off just designing the servers to last for like 10 years with enough redundancy (and hot/warm/cold spares) to not need any physical swapping, then replace the whole thing with a forklift at end of life.
Ah, thanks for the context - when I saw the headline, I thought that cancel culture had finally caught up to left-leaning sources, but apparently it's just a left-leaning source accidentally getting caught up in the right-wing cancellation net.
No. Sorry. My comment was from a conversation I had in the mid-80's with a couple of field service reps who worked the site and couldn't believe it themselves.

The magtapes used to hang on row after row of metal racks. The operators would retrieve the tapes, hold them on their forearms, and bring them back to what were usually a centralized set of tape drives.

Here's an offset into a video showing what it typically looked like. [0] The narrator refers to a "search tape" used to retrieve the person's information. The tape had to be retrieved from the racks.

The sheer weight and overall length of the rows/racks meant the rooms were often lower level with vinyl flooring over concrete (raised tile later). Imagine walking up and down for an 8-hour 5pm-1am shift. Not difficult to imagine skates.

Here's another video with a good representation of how it worked. [1]

As I have come to accept, the mid-80's was pre-everything. Deliberate change takes time.

Nitpick: voltage potentials and ion channels. There's not much actual current flowing.
It's interesting, I wonder if the internet would have been successful at all without something to monetize? Yeah, e-commerce probably would have been doable, but it would have been like the dotcom era - generic domain names running ads to try to get you to walk over to a desktop computer and type in the domain name.

Digital communities would have been really hard - a lot of online forums, I know, depend(ed) on advertising to pay for the then-expensive hosting costs. I'm a believer that Facebook now is long past its prime, but I remember how exciting it was in the early days when it was connecting me with family members and friends. Advertising is how all of those things were able to become accessible to everyone.

Maybe a better solution would have been to ban personalized advertising? A lot of the really gross behaviors with ad exchanges, data brokers, ISP interception, etc. are all to allow for highly targeted and personalized ads. Maybe you could only target ads towards "interests", which could be set at a browser level, and a user could configure if they wanted to see more relevant ads.

I open IG, tap into the search tab, tap the search bar, keyboard appears, type in user, tap result.

Do you want tapping into the search tab to autofocus the search bar and open the keyboard. I can totally understand that but IG’s search tab is more a discovery thing now. Which like evil’s of social media aside was a sorely needed feature since finding people to follow has always been hard on Twitter and IG.
My first ‘job’ was going around to professors houses and setting up their modems and trumpet windsock so they could connect to the internet through the university’s modem pool. I was 12 and my dad came with me, the professors would reach out to him to get me to set up their internet. Hilarious!
McKinsey is HUGE. Like any of the major consulting firms, one department can be completely evil, while the other is saving the world; just depends on the client's needs.

In a positive light there's tons of hype about ESG investing. With that in mind, many companies will hire McKinsey to construct reports that follow the trend.

"Police Grade" should mean that it's designed to withstand situations where the wearer is interacting with physically abusive and/or vomiting people, but if that's part of Apple's design requirements then perhaps there are bigger problems than just the cameras.
> there's a high standard for harassment to be considered illegal

True, although it's sometimes possible to do a 2-step process under a lower standard. First, ask for a restraining order in civil court. Getting a restraining order has a much lower bar than charging someone with a crime does. If they don't stop, and violate the terms of the restraining order, then they can be sanctioned in various ways (civilly or criminally) for violating the restraining order, depending on the jurisdiction.

There are organizations that regularly do this pro bono for domestic violence cases, where the process is pretty well understood [1]. I'm not as sure what organizations or assistance exist for online harassment, unfortunately.

Okay great, can you give confirmation of his identity and death? If he's dead then it can do no harm. Let's put a name to his accomplishments as well as this crime. Otherwise all we have are hollow accusations being thrown around.

Before you get all high and mighty, just keep in mind that even though you claim to have known the man but none of us did. I'm just asking for something solid so we can have actual confirmation. You can't punish someone for murder without first proving that a murder took place. If the suicide took place days ago, it should be simple to confirm.
>US Air Force Brigadier General Edward Lansdale reportedly told McNamara,[3] who was trying to develop a list of metrics to allow him to scientifically follow the progress of the war, that he was not considering the feelings of the common rural Vietnamese people.

Not really, no. There are 500 people in marketing organization and I doubt there are less than 20 conflicting end goals within that organization. Unless you're going all fluffy and talk about company goal as said by the owners.

Either way, if their process of reaching their end goal included steps which legal dismissed then they needed to go back to the drawing board and figure out a new strategy, right? It would be strange for me who doesn't work in their profession come and tell them how to solve their issues.

There are crazy patents throughout the entirety of the insulin production pipeline. Some of these being extremely absurd such as patenting the pH of a buffer for specific protocols! I volunteer for the Open Insulin Foundation on/off when not too focused on my research project and it's basically how can we come up with a roadmap to making this decentralized insulin without violating any existing patents. An added layer of difficulty is like other have mentioned, engineering Ecoli to produce the homolog as well as developing from scratch the devices for extraction and purification (think hplc). Again, these need to be made from scratch as to not violate any patents. At least in the U.S., this is why there is no competition in the market. There is also a significant price barrier as you need to bring up your production to GMP standards which means you need a state of the art clean room and multiple roles to supervise the production of the product every step of the way.
