Paid well is a relative concept. One is paid well relative to other people, who are not paid as much. "Everyone should be paid well" - yes, that is exactly the kind of deluded thinking that "Utopia" refers to.

Does that include open source wallets that you can run in your own computer, like Electrum?
It would remove all flexibility in capacity between different towns, and require most people to move to a different carriage at least once after boarding — which is especially inconvenient with bags. Even if you couple the carriages at high speed, how do you connect the doors between them sufficiently safely to allow people to move along the train?

The coupling of modern high-speed trains is also a significant part of their crash safety. Keeping the train connected if it derails means there's less chance of a loose vehicle punching through another. (See how e.g. [1] has most of the vehicles pretty much intact.)

I think in most cases, running an express train followed by a stopping train is good enough.

> So your argument is that because you haven't used it lately, nobody does?

I mean, it's opposed by the argument that it used to be popular. It's a pretty low bar.

FTP is a protocol that dates to when NCP was the protocol suite that ran the Internet. It was retrofitted to TCP/IP. That's why there's a command session and a data session. The protocol is so old that it dates to a time when IP+port was the unique identifier for a half-duplex connection. Nobody even uses active FTP anymore because everyone has firewalls now.

It's not like web browsers have added SFTP support. They haven't even added FTPS support (either flavor) as far as I'm aware. I just don't see many use cases for FTP anymore. Why would you choose FTP at this point over HTTP(S), SFTP, BitTorrent, etc.?

The last system I used that required FTP actually used implicit FTPS. Worse, when the vendor implemented SFTP to replace FTPS like their customers had been demanding, they actually implemented Simple File Transfer Protocol (i.e., RFC 913) and not SSH File Transfer Protocol. I wish I were joking.
Not to split hairs here, but lets separate this into a few different traits. Smart, intelligent and cunning.

Most dictators are not very intelligent. Just like Donald Trump is not very intelligent.

Cunning and with social smarts would be apt. These guys really know how to play people off each other, and manipulate, like, really well.
his employer surely had workers comp insurance, and big signs about it in the breakroom, which are required by law.
They do also have a cloud offering - you pay them to evaluate a chess position on their computer - so I could see the license to use the code being important, though it's separate to their flagship offering of shrinkwrap software.

Spouses who needed to get out of the house while their other half was at work. They loved going to work with the same friends every day, chatting while cleaning up after the lunch shift... There was enough work to not be bored.

I have known an elementary school teacher for a few years now, and we occasionally have cause to discuss matters like this one. It has crystallized my determination that my children, should they ever exist, will be homeschooled. As much as I would like to believe that these beliefs are only held by a few "true believers" in unfortunately high positions, I fear that the reality on the ground is much worse. My acquaintance genuinely and fully believes... well, basically anything fêted in the social proof of equality and justice. Even if the actual proven results of such beliefs and policies directly harms the populations they claim to help.

It is strange; if one were to imagine a white supremacist or similar figure in charge of education, and they tried to push forward a similar proposal to ensure that the disadvantaged were never taught true mathematics, they would be tarred and feathered. But by cloaking the initiative in the language of justice, people approve.

I've accepted for a while that people are not generally rational. But it's hard to accept the further realization that - and this is shakier ground, though it tracks with what I've noticed recently - many people don't seem to actually have beliefs. They have some vague set of heuristics that they use to respond to the world. Should evidence contradict their feelings or cause them to feel bad, they will deflect, dismiss, denigrate, and deny until anyone intruding on their personal reality simply gives up. Anything to avoid updating their priors. And I mean that in the least charitable way possible; this acquaintance of mine has refused to accept that there is a difference in importance or even kind between feelings and facts.

The knowledge that someone like this is an active teacher is horrifying.
Freedom and anonymous activity seeking Russians may start smuggling in StarLink systems to bypass their local spied upon internet ?

Reports out of Moscow state that Russia’s lower house of parliament (Duma) has legislated penalties for any citizen using Elon Musk’s Starlink or the UK/India-backed OneWeb low Earth orbiting satellite systems.

Neither company currently has users in Russia (that they are aware of).

Russia is reportedly working on ‘Sphere’ (Сфера, in Russian), its own mega-constellation of satellites. But the probable cost of anything between $15-$20 billion for a rival to Starlink is much greater than Russian Space Agency Roscosmos current budget (which is below $2.5 billion annually).
Roscosmos’ Director General Dmitry Rogozin has been highly critical of Starlink in the recent past. For example, he has described Elon Musk and his Starlink system as being “predatory, intelligent, powerful and high-tech”.

The Duma decision has proposed fines on businesses of up to 1 million Rubles ($13,500) for those circumventing Russia’s national Internet suppliers, according to a well-sourced report in Popular Mechanics and detailed in technology site ArsTechnica. For ordinary citizens the fines range from 10,000-30,000 Rubles ($130-$400).

The report might make life difficult for the likes of Starlink or OneWeb which might want to route internet traffic through Russia. However, OneWeb, in particular, is depending on Russian assistance in launching their satellites from Russia’s Vostochny space port (although using Arianespace Soyuz rockets).

I pay people less than they're worth to do that for me and then bask in all the karma. When they get demotivated I hint there might be a new position opening up soon or say something nice about one of their comments.

Seriously though, you get karma by posting stories, balancing what really interests you with what HN looks for in a good story. The more interesting stories you post, the more likely people are to engage with you in comments. Surprising news sometimes makes for a good story, but the most engagement comes from those that either provide an unusually clear illustration of a problem, or would have significant long-term implications if the technology or issue described were to become a norm.

As for keeping track, I just use the Threads link or look at my submissions manually. There is little correlation between how passionately I feel about something at the time of posting and how HN will value it.
yeah, i would think that, generally (maybe even universally), the interstate roads in the us are neither wide nor thick enough to support aircraft. i didn’t realise that there are countries that actually did this though; that’s pretty neat.
Generally speaking banks leave a lot to be desired in the US, which is Square's banking charter. They can make a better bank, and they can provide complementary financial services in one place.

For what it's worth extant banking competitors offer substantially all the major services that Square does. JPM is a bank, a broker, a merchant acquirer (Chase Paymentech), they're a credit card issuer, a debit card issuer, an unsecured lender, as secured lender (mortgage broker).

Heck, Chase even operates a private instance of VisaNet.

What Square's doing isn't any different really, it's just flashier and better executed. And also, whatever this embarrassing crypto thing is: [1]

"What can we do to make NSO’s life harder?" That seems pretty simple to me: We ask Western democratic governments (which include Israel) to properly regulate the cybersecurity industry.

This is the purpose of governments; it is why we keep them around. There is no really defensible reason why the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear industries are heavily regulated, but "cyber" isn't.

> You're saying it was normal (and is even today) to show HTML files over ftp links? I've never seen a browser do HTML over ftp, and while I am a youngster compared to HTTP (I stared to do web stuff in the early 2000's) the sites where I've seen that had both HTTP and FTP modes the ftp mode only downloaded the file, it did not show it.

Of course they do, it's quite normal. Here's Netscape Navigator:

It's generally dangerous to restart PID1 in an enviroment where, by definition, something happened to PID1 that it wasn't expecting. The state of the system is now unreliable, and it's exactly the sort of unreliable in exactly the right place that tends to lead to whopping security issues. Far too easy to end up with "Crash PID1 with 'blah blah blah', then when it restarts it ends up doing bad things X & Y".
The linked article doesn't really substantiate that claim, and even so it doesn't actually contradict GP's claim about the McDonald's job.
Just to be absolutely pedantic,

"one of the balls is red and the other is blue"

IS a statement you can make. However, it's surprisingly not equivalent to asserting

(xor (and (red? 'left) (blue? 'right))
(and (blue? 'left) (red? 'right)))

That is, "one is red and one is blue" does not mean that it's the case that either has a definite color.

In terms of oft-used Bell pair states to demonstrate what I'm talking about, you can definitely say that total S^2=0.

It's pretty much completely wrong. Apple invests more on this problem than almost any vendor in the world, and no vendor with a comparable footprint fares meaningfully better than they do --- Google surpasses them at some problems, but vice versa. The problems we're dealing with here are basically at the frontier of software engineering and implicate not so much Apple as the entire enterprise of commercial consumer software development, no matter where it's practiced.

It's fair to criticize Apple. But you can't reasonably argue that they DGAF.
Hi, great hackers.

I'm the author of the paper. I also think it is steganography, just applied in neural networks and malware.. However, it may happen one day, so maybe it deserves the attention. The latest experiment used other models from public repository. The results show that it also works on different models and tasks, including ResNet on ImageNet. I'll update the paper in the next few days.

After I finished the works in this paper, I found another similar work: "StegoNet: Turn Deep Neural Network into a Stegomalware"[1]. They proposed a more practical scenario with supply chain attack in MLaaS or similar services.
([1]https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3427228.3427268)

I also found another embedding method that has an embedding rate (defined as malware/model size) of nearly 50%, with less losses on the testing accuracy. I'm working on the results and will publish it later.

Thanks for your discussions. All your questions and advices are welcome!

California passes new broadband access law
The market sized the fabs and pricing pressure led to the fabless business model and fab consolidation. If the market economics of race to the bottom don’t change, the taxpayers will be on the hook for subsidizing these facilities and the expensive upgrades to keep these facilities relevant.

I work in this industry and support expansion but don’t think the taxpayer should have to subsidize chip fabs. If customers want more supply, they have to be willing to pay for it in higher prices. The fact of the matter is that they are unwilling to pay higher prices. So not sure how the economics of all these fabs are going to pan out long term.
Thank you for sharing, that feels bad and opposite indeed. I wonder what percentage of westerners approach it with this type of gym mindset?

I see.

There aren't going to be stations all across Nebraska or what have you. And even if there were, stopping repeatedly would defeat the purpose of high-speed rail. All that time speeding up and slowing down starts to add up very quickly.
The EU regularly fines companies that don’t even have a business entity in the EU so I doubt they’re worried about it.

You are using Occam's Razor incorrectly. A preference for parismony is not identical with parsimony being the only state of the world.

"Everything is really under control of invisible stuff" make it impossible to use parisomy under any circumstances. It fundamentally discards Occam's Razor.

Occam's Razor was invented by Friar William of Ockham as a defense of divine miracles.

While I wouldn't personally accept a God that acts in the world, the argument is about having some sort of evidence based interpretation of the world. Flying Spaghetti Monster is response to arguments like "God makes the rain fall" etc, not to a God that appears in the world but a God that can essentially be evoked for anything and in any fashion.

The "intermediate stop" being mentioned was Philadelphia. I don't think asking people to be seated for 45 seconds before and after each stop adds that much discomfort.

0.1g is the acceptable lateral acceleration when standing up without bracing. (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40864-015-0012-y)

If you get caught standing up, even 3.5 m/s/s is not dangerous. It is uncomfortable, but in a high speed train you are expected to be sitting down.

Also you wouldn't need to put drinks away. As I said, that's the acceleration of a Toyota Corolla. You would need the drinks to be covered though.

The limiting factor in longitudinal acceleration in trains is that we expect people to be standing up for the whole trip. This isn't the case in a high speed train.

As for curves - the solution is not to go through any sharp curves unless you are already close to a stop and would have to slow down anyways.
This still leaves us with threats from state actors and cybersecurity firms answering only to Eastern, undemocratic governments.
You don't have to be "incredibly intelligent" to pay some company to hack a list of your enemies. That just takes money and a list of people you hate, not insight.
Not OP but somebody else who has worked on the platform. Thanks for the feedback! I can't give quite as good of a response as teebes but I'll take a crack at it.

- Patreon isn't the ideal subscription service but it was the most lightweight tool we could find for the job since some users wanted to contribute and it didn't make sense to integrate a full payment platform right now. Is there a particular reason that you find it off-putting?

- Telnet actually came up recently on the Discord. It's something we might do, but would take a fair bit of work and loses out on some of the UI we've incorporated to try to make combat a little more engaging like cool down timers and cast bars. That said, we're not opposed to it if there's enough demand and people would actually use it.

- We've actually had a few visually impaired players and gotten some very useful feedback! There is a 'Use Accessibility Layout' option that tries to optimize the experience for screenreaders, although there is likely room for iteration.

- That's a fair point and may be tough to optimize to the same degree while taking advantage of the more modern frameworks that make the platform (hopefully) more user-friendly. That said, there's probably some refinement that could be done there to at least help a little and I would imagine that once in-game, the packets going back and forth don't put too much strain on the connection.

Always good to hear from people who know the space!
the set of over-optimizing app developers will do just that :)

But more generally, optimizations eventually stop being true in general, and start being true only in a specific context -- and the lower that optimization, the more specific that context gets. If you want to "teach" GCC how to optimize something properly (more commonly in the form of attribute notations e.g. inlining, but more extreme is poking around godbolt), you start falling into this trap
Does it still warn if you do `s->value = value & 0x0F`? That seems like a reasonable alternative to pragmas if it works.
> ftp is a relatively simple protocol, not particularly complicated to implement

Parts of it are, sure, but parts of it are an absolutely horror show (The client opens a port, and then the server connects back to it!?), text conversion and binary modes that's based on ASCII, different list formats, etc. It's not great. Worse, it doesn't support the good stuff like implicit TLS extensions

> Supporting FTP isn't some big technical challenge. The code has been there in the firefox codebase for nearly 20 years now, running just fine. All you need to do to continue to support ftp is nothing at all.

Not at all. Continuing to support FTP means continuing to defend attack surface that's implemented as 20 year-old code, to deliver a feature that in 2021 the majority of people do not use.

It's a cost-benefit analysis. I want Mozilla to do more. If they believe removing FTP support enables them to do more, I'll all for it.

Most of the folks who've been up so far are military and science oriented folks; there's a bit of an existing tendency to think in that direction. I'm not sure the personality required to become a billionaire is necessarily going to result in the same feelings looking at Earth from orbit.

Not knowing they're were dealing with one of the brothers that owned that sandwich shops led that customer to think they could bully the employee.

Employee owned shops are the way to go. They really care but don't have to put up with crap.
