Which side is that, exactly? On one hand we have big oil and pretty much every industrial polluter globally, and on the other hand we have academia which "lines their pockets" by finding ever more questions that need answering, and stoking fear of social or environmental collapse to generate those questions.

Now, I personally know which side I trust more. However, if the lens is "who is lining their pockets" well, I am not sure that's really enough.
BedRock Systems - bedrocksystems.com

BedRock is building a trusted compute base for mission critical-applications. The foundation of the platform is a formally verified, open source hypervisor for x86 and ARM, deployed with real-time threat sensing that uses VMI to detect problems from a privileged position outside the guest OS.

We are hiring in the Bay Area, Boston, DC, and Germany across the following areas:

* Operating systems & hypervisor development on x86 and ARM64

* OS hardening - Linux, Android, Windows, RTOS/Embedded

* Virtual machine introspection

* Formal verification - proof engineering and automation

Our contention is that the time is ripe for verifiably trustworthy systems, for everything from secure phones and industrial IoT to autonomous systems and financial infrastructure. We have significant seed funding from great investors and our first commercial projects underway.

For more information, ping me at nate@bedrocksystems.com with "Saw you on HN" in the subject line, or apply at bedrocksystems.com/careers

Thanks!

Android's PackageManager system doesn't use CAs. It's a trust-on-first-install system where any updates must be signed with the same cert as the original install. I don't know if it's still the case, but when I last looked at the code (around AOSP 6, I think), it did a byte-by-byte comparison of the certificate. If a update to an app was signed by even a renewed cert (with the same private key), Android would not allow it to be installed.
I don't read analysis written by known liars who hate me and my rights.
Obviously, intellectual curiosity can take an interest in almost anything, if not literally anything. But the odds that a communist party leader's speech is going to lead to an intellectually curious discussion from the front page of Hacker News are statistically zero. What we're sure to get is just another tedious ideological and nationalistic flamewar. Curiosity—as the site guidelines point out (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) will just get trampled.

I'm sure it would be possible to write a super interesting analysis of a document like this - for example, how it differs from speeches in previous periods, how it fits into the history of political propaganda, one could go on - but a large, anonymous internet forum is unfortunately not the medium for that. Any interesting and original commentary will be quickly be drowned out by flames, and indeed get set on fire in its own right by the numerous population who are interested only in loudly repeating what they already think and feel. To get a curious conversation about something like this would require barriers to entry that, for better or worse, HN doesn't have.
Ah, so you'd propose that 0% is the current de facto minimum and maximum, and that raising the minimum is bad per se? I took your original post to mean that states would not, practically speaking, have the liberty to impose even higher rates if a de jure minimum were imposed, while currently they do, but... rather you seem to disagree with the direct point of the move itself, which is to prevent under-cutting some minimum above 0%? Or am I misunderstanding you?
This is awful, especially since there are a number of startups in the "Plaid for payroll" space that are explicitly making it up to the employee whether they want to share their data, instead of it just getting vacuumed up by Equifax for everyone. That is, if you are applying for a loan, the loan website could pop up a "verify your employment data immediately with your payroll provider", you log in using your payroll creds, and then the loan company gets your data directly without having any access to your other payroll info.
However, the UK has a lot of Combined Cycle gas turbines. Almost all of them in fact. CCGT is more efficient but not so much in the spin-up/ spin-down phase.

I suspect that it's much cheaper to spin a CCGT down to idle power output for a while than switch it off and soon after back on again. Which is fine so long as the difference between idle power and peak power needed in the UK matches the range of our CCGTs. A ramp of 5GW output, over two hours is something they're doing every day. But what if it was 10GW in thirty minutes? 15GW in twenty minutes? Something has to give.

You can definitely see in the data on a night with strong winds, it isn't the CCGTs that stop first. As winds pick up, the CCGTs reduce power output, but at a low point they continue where they are and the UK stops importing power instead. To a considerable extent that's cheap French nuclear power, which means low carbon. There is no way gas is cheaper than that. I'd guess the CCGTs would rather lose money for an hour (or two?) selling electricity for less than the gas cost to make it, than switch off and start again cold in a few hours.

This is for, like, debug purposes. Makes logs and things like JSON requests easier to read because the output matches the source. Logically though, they are still unordered for things like equivalence checks, so those two examples you had there still compare equal.

Since order is unspecified, but when serializing the hash table you have to pick one, you might as well go for insertion order and make it easier for the programmer to read. Especially since this kind of hash table gets that “for free”
>How about leaving the free market alone?

Intuit has been aggressively anti-consumer and this particular instance is no different. They exist to benefit themselves at the expense of the average joe. Until the free market stops operating in said fashion, your question will continuously earn a resounding, "Nah," from me.

Edit: I am particularly perplexed by this post, given that OP recently suggested governments start "selling, if not mandating, its own operating system software to consumers and businesses alike" because they felt like consistent OS churn resulted in too much unnecessary e-waste. I don't disagree with the concern about e-waste, but I'm having trouble squaring away the dueling perspectives here.
Oh we're _working_ on it, but we have a ways to go. I can imagine `fly launch` just working for all Elixir apps someday, right now you have to write a Dockerfile. People seem to like our guide but I don't want to suggest it's already the easiest possible place to deploy an Elixir app: https://fly.io/docs/getting-started/elixir/

That said, our stack does make things Elixir folks need very easy. In particular:

* Private network and built in service discovery mean clustering just works

* You can connect to your private network with WireGuard and then use iex or similar to inspect running Elixir processes: https://fly.io/blog/observing-elixir-in-production/

* Postgres setup is pretty magical. "fly postgres attach" gets your app all connected and auth'ed to your Postgres cluster.

* And, most importantly, we actually are the best place to run an Elixir app if you're using Phoenix LiveView. You can push your app servers out close to people and make LiveView incredibly responsive: https://liveview-counter.fly.dev/

Or just use mask/obfuscate the audio, and face while your at it.

In some ways, the whole debate could be more civil if officers faces and voices were blurred.

After all, it's not really the individual officer who is at fault: it's the system that trained the officer, and the department policies that require officers to apply unreasonable force.

There are also many other contributing factors to policing issues in the US.
But the argument that it's just "a few bad apples" seems like deflection to me. And if it's not just a few bad apples, then why do we need to publicly shame individual officers who are just doing their job as they were trained to do, in line with department policies?
(Doesn't such public shaming just create opposition and resentment, distracting from the issue at hand)

Just saying... in other countries media don't go around posting/shaming people publicly if there is no conviction.

An agreed upon international base tax rate is the wrong solution. This becomes a minimum wage for nations and removes the incentive to compete to be the home of corporate headquarters. Border adjustment tax removes the tax shelter loophole and strengthens the incentive to be a good place to headquarter a corporation.

>Why wouldn't they be? You said the clearinghouse could seize the client purchase funds just as well as the collateral. Why couldn't they seize both?

Regulations? Presumably customer funds are segregated from company funds, so the company and the clearinghouse can't raid it if they need money.

>At the very least, it's a bizarre threat model that the clearinghouse can seize both, but it will only ever seize collateral (which is what your claim requires to make sense).

>That is, it's some kind of capricious being capable of seizing and willing to seize any money trusted to them, with no recourse, but somehow the presence of collateral makes it all better, even though that could be seized too.

by "seize" I don't mean the clearinghouse can walk into the offices (or bank accounts) of any of their member and grab whatever they want. They're seizing (or more accurately, refusing to return) the deposit that the member sent on the day of trade.

Depends on the manufacturer, on a lot of phones getting root access is not that difficult. The problem is that a lot of applications started to check for root access and will refuse to work if they detect it. So in practice you will loose some functionality that can be important, like your bank application.

SMS works really well in places that have poorer coverage / worse networks. That's partially because it doesn't rely on the 'data' coverage but fundamental telephony technologies that have been around much longer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Message_Service_technica...). So basically if you have a signal of any kind, SMS will probably work reliably. Then there's the fact that you don't need any extra app or identity to use it. If you have a phone with a plan, you have no barriers to using SMS. Both these aspects are not as true for the software over Internet messaging solutions, and I think that's why SMS is still widely used and will continue to be widely used.

> How about leaving the free market alone?

Well, if the free market worked, Equifax would have been sued into oblivion right now and no other company would be stupid enough to try BS like this.

But the free market doesn't work, so you need to protect yourself. The only way we can protect ourselves from greedy corporations is through onerous regulations with teeth.
Yes, you can, and I encourage everyone to do so:

I just had an app idea. I am super busy right now, but maybe someone can run with it - You could build a website verification service+app.

Produce a mobile app which uses the camera to scan QR codes, or even watermarked/"invisible" elements placed in reasonable locations on the user interface.

Release an API/SDK which allows for any network participant to quickly wire up a security verification front on their webapp (this would be a bit of js).

App and API obviously both talk to your back-end, wherein the network participants have submitted substantial business/entity verification documentation prior to being added to the network. The service is pretty damn simple - just cryptographic signatures that rotate every few seconds or something. Keep track of last ~100 to account for clock drift. No need to make it hard.

Provide application as free service to users. Monetization possible via a few routes. Ads on the user app itself, B2B contracts with network participants, etc.

Use case A: Get to final payment screen on https://www.bhphotovideo.com. User wants to be 200% sure they are not about to bank wire five figures to Putin due to some UTF8 technicalities. User takes their iPhone out, taps "my magic verification app", points at payment screen, app dings with big green check mark, post verification ad experience, et. al.
> Tell your 0.1 friends to focus on all those points you made

They know it already, most of my friends are classical liberals/conservatives.

> they will be the scapegoat for the mob

You are probably in the top 10% (as most people here on HN), so a lot of people here might become the same scapegoat.

> Things are getting bad enough to where "cutting ones nose to spite the face"

I'm not sure things are getting bad. Poorest people now are more rich than poorest people 30 years ago.

Like in the US now average electrician makes 70K a year. That's a lot of money. And anyone can be electrician.

They say income inequality raises, which is bad, but it might be not that bad, because common inequality measures do not includes the costs of free stuff given to poorest people from the government, like better free hospitals which they can use in case of emergency.

> starts to make sense redistributing the misery the rich have insulated themselves from.

As I said, taxing the wealthiest (especially with extremely high taxes like proposed by certain "liberal" activists) will not make poor people more rich. It will make poor people even more poor because of economic recession.

Different measures are needed.
Really interesting report -- would love to see more like them from other companies.
Haha! There was a very similar exploit that could be accomplished on (any?) HP printer connected to the network via TCP/IP using those Jetdirect cards.

Essentially you could send some data over a raw socket connection that would cause the typical `READY` message on the printer's LCD to say whatever you want. It was a lot of fun to change READY to LOW ON CHEESE. IIRC it was a perl script that was floating around the net back then... Good times.
