> Cryptographically verifiable identification is not a good idea, regardless of intentions.

Technically not an identification, but Zero-Knowledge-Proofs might be the solution to that. If I remember correctly, some countries in the EU are looking into this for medical prescriptions - proving your eligibility while exposing zero information about you.
I find another beauty in cheap products, which is the optimized cost-engineering that goes into them.

For example with electronics, it's possible to use two common-valued (=> cheap) resistors in series, rather than a more obscure resistor of twice the value. This both reduces cost, and shrinks the list of unique parts.

Of course the idea of cost-engineering is to reduce the cost, while maintaining adequate function and quality. It loses it's charm beyond that, as evidenced by so much of the garbage flowing from certain places these days.
Except this is a new API, not the 2nd one.

You have to modify code using System.Text.Json for the code generator based way, and it doesn't support all the features, enjoy the comments section.
Same here. Whenever the results (software related or not) are bad, I try Google search instead, but I can't remember the last time the results from Google were any better (ergo, there's no point in using Google search for me anymore)
It might have to do with enforcement. Some liquor control boards don’t give a shit if someone had a fake ID, they will fine or shutdown them bar if someone underage comes in.

And I know in my city they’ll hire folks who are underage, with fake IDs to try and get pdf the checks.

The bar has probably been busted before and told the bouncers they’d be fired if they didn’t check closely.

Just a guess.
Exposing a C API/ABI is also the only supported way of making separate Rust crates that can be truly interoperable beyond the constraints of a single rustc build. It's not a limit to high-level interfaces because one can always build those as higher-level layers within a single crate, and there are tools (bindgen and cbindgen) to make this workflow a bit easier.
> I am worried about a time when we do get a good quality photo, the hard part would become convincing everyone that it is a real photo and not cgi.

Perhaps corroboration, as video/camera ubiquity approaches. I'm encouraged by such things as the Chelyabinsk meteor [1] in 2013, or the impressive (and thankfully non-fatal) "Hollywood-style crash" in which a car seemingly takes flight over a highway in California earlier this month, and as covered by The Drive [2].

Yes, these things were either bright or in broad daylight, but might still have been CGI. It's the coverage by more than one independent recording device that provides evidence favouring real rather than faked footage.

There's no way it's easier to use a second browser profile every time you want to search and get useable results than just toggling this toggle once.
> Rust in Linux has a known constantly showing negative consequence

It'd make your argument a lot stronger if you can actually list some of these negative consequences. "Another languages to the stack" and "Different than C" is just complaining about change because it is change.

What negatives have already been shown that isn't just about "This isn't C"?
I wish there were a way to turn off personal results based upon country. It feels like google isolates us even further culturally.

When I'm in Japan I can search for japanese things easily, but when i'm in america it keeps giving me american-based websites with japanese stuff. I've legit used a VPN just for searching.
What tech from a decade ago are you talking about? This is one of the first devices,at least the first in the consumer price point, to have this functionality at this high fidelity.

Who's assessing the land value?

Can I assess the value of your house at $5, and then tax you for not selling it to me at that price?

Bizarre.
Seems that from an economic perspective the “solution” might be to shorten the length of time that a storefront could be leased by statute - thereby reducing the incentive of landlords to hold out for higher rents if there is more frequent repricing.
So all the anti-maskers are what race now? You might want to bring body armor when you tell them the verdict, if you’re going South.
Then Apple decides that my app isn’t acceptable, Google decides I have to implement their special code to show up in search results, and this gave me power how exactly?
Bottom line is that the systems tend no to give a GIVE what the names are, so long as they resolve to information.

The naming conventions are for the humans to reason about the system, and help the new hire not trigger an outage.

Getting the "proper" amount of information in there is the acme of skill.
Sounds like you're talking from experience, which project did you have that was in the top 0.00001% and got sold by AWS?
In Italy the new ID card (issued from 2015 onwards) has NFC capabilities. It contains key attributes (including the picture) that can be read via NFC signed from governament PKI. Some information can be unlocked using a code printed on it, some using the private PIN given to the citizien, and some other only from police/governament.

Some innovative use cases could be using the ID also as a gym card or as transportation card.
Its also a great chance, to virtualize large swathes of the "non-touch" economy - and thus be another step stone to a carbon reduced world. No need for a plastic gnome on the front lawn, just place it. No need for birthday deco, just place it in virt, no need for other deco, just place it in virt. No need for a fancy car display, just use virt-hud, with a basic-backup.
> Presumably the vacancy tax would be tied to the value of the property.

It can't be both things at the same time.

And who's setting this land value? If it's on the market and nobody's buying then we don't know the value.
They are enterprise licensed headsets. You're not just going to walk up to Facebook and say "here's $800, give me a headset with no pre-installed apps".

You have to get approval to get access to Oculus for Business, then you purchase the headsets through a partner company (CDW, in my case).

But when you eventually get everyone to wake up long enough, concurrently, to do their jobs, yes, you essentially get A Quest 2 with no apps other than the browser installed.

Is pretty cool. The browser is built on Chromium, so it has the full WebXR API. I have a WebXR/WebRTC app that I've built for my company. We have a fleet of 15 headsets right now. We send them to our students taking our foreign language classes and they use them to practice with their instructor in 360 photo environments of popular tourist places in their target country.
On the contrary. But over the last several decades there have been two relevant culture shifts:

- a strong move to professional child care over care by relatives

- a dramatic increase in the age at which children are considered able to be unsupervised
How about making the tax increase each month the unit is unoccupied, but also making it proportional to the asking rent? No one has any use for it, high asking rent => high tax. No one has any use for it, very low asking rent => low tax.
Thank you for the detailed explanation!
Early on, e.g. 1980s, the Internet and BBS worlds were pretty siloed. But at some point in the 90s, for a lot of people, the more commercial BBSs became ISPs. Probably until I eventually got broadband around 2000 or so, my ISP was the BBS I subscribed to in Cambridge MA for many years.
They need to make money. I guess they gave up on advertising directly and instead want to capture our info alongside what we read on the website to build profiles they can sell to marketers.
> biased measure of intelligence such as IQ tests

Where's the evidence that IQ tests are biased? They're supposed to estimate the g-factor. I'm sure that if they were biased estimates of the g-factor they'd be recalibrated ASAP to estimate it in an unbiased way.

Fundamentally different devices.

There are no options obviously.

I am fully vaccinated, if you offer me a booster I will take it. If you offer me whatever, I will take it.

At that point I have done all I can do. If someone wants to stay in a bunker because things are beyond their risk preference then they should not be forced out of the bunker.

Forcing me back in a bunker though being fully vaccinated is absolute bullshit if anyone can get vaccinated.
enough RAM for what? Without diving into the bargain bin, I get a 64 GB VPS or dedicated server for ~$50, that's quite a lot. (And I don't need it, so I pay ~11€ for a 16 GB VPS, and even that's overkill for me)
No I wouldn't expect that. Assuming these things could be real (the only thing I could even imagine would be some form of a probe without live being on board) how many of them could be flying here? There are only a couple of thousands reported sightings a year - even if some of them would be real (which I don't believe) it's obvious to me that the chance that a real alien spaceship is captured on high-quality image/video is super small and this is not an argument for them not being real, there are much better and honest ways to disbelieve that (mainly knowing some physics and how big are the distances between star systems).
You would eventually render it to the state.

There are pros and cons to this idea.

> Just write "unsafe" and you're off to the races.

I'm pretty sure I mention this in the LWN comments, but, since it gets repeated so often the contradiction might as well be repeated as well:

No. Unsafe Rust only gets to do three things that aren't related to the "unsafe" keyword itself. It can dereference raw pointers, it can access C-style unions, it can mutate global static variables.

That's everything. Your C program is free to define x as an array with four elements and then access x[6] anyway - but Rust deliberately cannot do that. Not in Safe Rust, but also not in Unsafe Rust either. Writing "unsafe" doesn't mean "Do this anyway" it only unlocks those three specific things I mentioned, and so sure enough x[6] is still not allowed because that's a buffer overflow.

In fact by default the Rust compiler would warn you, if you write unsafe { foo[z] = 0; } that unsafe isn't doing anything useful here and you should remove it. That array dereference either is or, if z is small enough, is not, an overflow, and either way unsafe makes no difference.
We also had to decipher Egyptian. I don't think having to do so speaks to the cultural irrelevance of a civilization.
Somebody just posted (and deleted?) an answer to your post with a video of the night sky and a man tracking satellites as they disappear at the terminator. That guy was telling “this is cloak tech” whereas he doesn’t even understand that a satellite is bright only when lit up with the sun. Satellites you see crossing the sky can, and will, disappear mid-sky because they get into the shaded part of the earth. This is why you can’t see LEO sats long after the sun go down, and brainless interpolation is why idiots like the poster of that video believe they see cloak tech.
I’m lucky enough to live in a neighborhood that has the following within 3 short blocks of me:

Organic grocery store, park, church, dentist, urgent care, bars, restaurants, hardware store, barber, liquor store, outdoor gym, and others.

The only problem? No parking. So I sold my car. I have never lived in such an amazing neighborhood and I think most people never will because they feel compelled to live miles away from cities. I think it’s because most city neighborhoods aren’t like my neighborhood where everything is so accessible.
They're short series, and with very few arcs, there's not much to differentiate between series. And it's easy to binge watch the entire box series!

This kind of leads into the thing I was wondering about when reading the article: What about false positives? What are the consequences of denying entry to someone who did, in fact, have a real ID? Could they potentially sue the bar?
That's amusing.

Personalized results are the reason I stopped using Google and switched to DDG, this option might actually make me give Google another try.
In the mini-led industry the clocks are often much higher. That said, you are limited by scan (how many LEDs driven per driver chip), because the clock is divided among the driven LEDs.

Consider that raising the PWM frequency doesn't automatically solve the problems you raise. 20khz PWM can still have audible harmonics, for example. In the mini-LED industry there are actually spread spectrum/randomized PWM approaches to address this, and to help with EMI.
For someone not familiar with NYC at all, what was going on in the 80s?
Weed kills brain cells? I used to be a heavy marijuana user, like all day every day. Didn’t have any affect of my mental ability. What it did affect is my mood, it helps my anxiety, and helps deal with my chronic back spasms. I quit because it’s too expensive and does prevent me from wanting to be physically active.

Anecdotal, my brother is schizoaffective. He exhibited signs as early as 18. Unfortunately, none of my family understood what those signs were until he was in his late twenties. Regular pot use didn’t negatively affect him, but he started getting into dabs and that’s when his symptoms began to manifest and he started becoming schizophrenic. If anything pot made his schizoaffective disorder worse, but he still already had it.
What would be the goal? If the bog effect exists , the possible extremes are "being locked inside makes infections more common" which should not impact the result (adding people to both pools), or "being locked inside prevents all infections" which would make the deficit larger than reported. (but as noted, it's a call for further study rather than a precise result)
Why would the state want it? Wouldn't they have to pay the same tax as other people?
Purchases can be made on expectations of returns based on comparable properties, or prices may be assumed based on other filled units. Filling at a lower rate definitively lowers those expectations.

On a 30 year model, small fluctuations have big consequences, and they cascade even further if there are multiple units.
I have the O'Reilly Whole Internet book from the mid-90s. It has chapters on all the various Internet services and also has a short one on this new-fangled hypertext thing out of CERN called the World Wide Web.
The UK is the worst. Grocery shops have adopted an "under 25" policy.

You only need to be 18 to buy alcohol but staff will systematically ask for ID if you look anywhere near 25.

This causes folks in their 30s (close enough to not be sure) to systematically be asked for ID. It's super annoying to be treated like a teenager. :(

> Lower rent income is still better than constant 0.

Depends on the terms of the lease and the expected changes in the future. Suppose you're negotiating a 5-year lease. There aren't too many new businesses at the moment, and so the market price is 25% below typical rates. If you take it and rent right away, then you get 3.75 normal years worth of rent over the next 5 years. On the other hand, if you expect that things will get back to normal in 6 months, then you might want to wait and rent in 6 months instead. Over the next 5 years, you then get 4.5 normal years worth of rent.

The numbers vary based on location, and what the crystal ball tells you about if/when the prices will change, but there can be a financial incentive to keep things empty until to avoid locking yourself into a low rate. I'd agree with other posters that there should be a tax on vacant commercial properties, so that it tips the equations in favor of renting now vs waiting indefinitely.
Advances for its time is an understatement. In marketing, people are trying to sell you an experience, i.e. iOS is the experience of power and simplicity, Toyota is the experience of affordable reliability, etc. Well Amiga had almost no marketing, but anyone who used one seriously still have a fresh memory of that powerful experience of being in the future, making graphics only accessible (at the time) using 6 digits computer equipment, audio sampling and playback so easy a 12 year old could compose his own tunes, watching babylon 5 and trying to recreate space scenes in lightwave or other 3d software using only a few megs (few MB, as under 10!). Emulating a Quadra in software, faster than the actual Quadra using the same 68040 cpu, playing back video in real time when PCs were starting displaying colors, etc.

For some others, the demo scene, copy parties, gaming, BBSes, first coding, electronics projects, name it.

For me it was all of it, so yeah, powerful experiences that I don’t think I will ever see or live again because of the nature of where and how technology is heading. Last time I got excited with something with the same experience potential was when Oculus launched their kickstarter, received my DK1. Wow. New paradigm shift… but Facebook bought them and that was it for me after the CV1.

So we’re going back to our first love, nostalgic, stable environment and comforting :)

It doesn’t do stuff better than today’s machine, but the fact that its still usable in 2021 and that there’s still a lot of development being done to keep it fast and geeky shows you how powerful the experience was for all of us.

I’m happy I was alive and a kid at that specific timeframe, because being a kid today I would probably not have 80% of the tech skills I got now if it wasn’t for the Amiga, forcing me (as in fun) to understand everything low level and make me a better problem solver and expand from graphics, coding, electronics and creativity to cross-link disciplines.

Now the only last thing exciting I can see before dying is going to space, when prices are down by a notch. Kids today won’t live an Amiga experience, but will probably be able to go to Mars.

I’m glad I won’t be nostalgic over angry bird, an xbox or an iphone!

Now I feel the urge to play that video toaster vhs demo…again. lol.
> Your website goes down because, at some point, you lose effort in maintaining it actively.

That’s exactly my point. Prioritize changing their price.
Rust itself largely supports this (via the 'cdynlib' project type), however for many Rust crates it either does not make sense to export a pure C API/ABI (i.e. the "crates" are purely generic code that's going to be instantiated with build-specific types, so there's no predefined API beyond that single build) or they just don't bother to enable that use case.
I don't really get dizzy or disoriented unless it's a game where you move with the joystick control or something. Games where you move around a table or teleport from place to place haven't bothered me at all.
It would be so wonderful to see ex-Google employees founding a new search engine company that is almost as good as Google. Next day they go bankrupt as there is no money inflow without selling our data, but that would be at least one nice day.

Someone please invent something that solves this awful problem.
See the problem with your entire argument is you have bolted on socialism to the current capitalist environment. It doesn't work like that, socialism doesn't afford the opportunity for big corps to exist and the money you wish to take for merely performing a creative task will be from your fellow workers. Likewise, there is no incentive to nurture creativity in an environment that does not reward it.
> Are there ever any hopeful reports published about Covid-19

Vaccine administration data (about 31 million doses are currently being administered per day, and production continues to ramp).

Like, I'm not sure what you're looking for. No-one is going to publish a (credible) report saying "actually, covid is nice". The main avenue for hope is vaccination, and while that's not going perfectly, if you told someone in May 2020 that by July 2021 we'd have administered 3.8 billion vaccines, they would probably have been very sceptical, to say the least. It is the most rapid vaccine programme in history.

The worst I've encountered of this type of head-in-the-sand logic was in NZ. They have a law that if a person buys alcohol with companions, the clerk will check the IDs of all of them, not just the buyer's. Presumably this is to stop underage kids having an older friend buy them booze. In reality obviously, teens without IDs just wait outside and literally 100% of the times this law is applied is when an over-age-but-without-ID is accompanying someone shopping for some dinner wine. Like me and my ex gf...

You can just use less water hungry crops for that, would also greatly reduce the risks of a drought. The reason it isn't done now is that water hungry crops pays better and farmers doesn't pay the real cost of the water.
